So now that you have to upgrade your console every 3 years what's your excuse for not buying a superior PC
>>334990030
>falling for the PC meme
sorry bro.
>b-but it looks good now
>Sony wins haha
Also is anyone mad that they bought the older and worse PS4?
honestly I dont even know anymore man, I was perfectly fine playing my games and buying a new console every 8 years, it was one of the reasons why I loved consoles over PCs, that and the exclusives, but now that more and more games are being ported to pc it almost doesnt mater, maybe its time to actually switch to PC, but im afraid I will lose games like final fantasy, persona, and games like bloodborne.
Delete this!!
>>334990171
Holy shit
>>334990245
If everyone jumped ship and bought a PC they would have no choice but to port everything
>>334990190
I would need one for some Japanese games anyway. Wish I waited for a model with a not shitty eject button though

Consoles are safer. Yes you have to pay for online, but that's so you can be safe from viruses .
Also PC gamers will never be able to sit back and play from a couch

The only games I play are console exclusive.

What is the point of PC gaming?
>>334990190

You're own fault for falling for obvious tactics. After how PS2 and 3 went you should have at least been waiting for slim PS4.
>>334990570

>can't play PC at a couch
You post like my grandma
>>334990629
>>put disc in
>>play game
this copypasta is so old it comes from a time when this used to be true
>>334990570
PC gamers = owned!
>>334990587
Do you are fine with buying a PS4 twice just get like 6 good exclusives?
>>334990570
Everything about this post is wrong
8th gen literally only lasted 3 years.
This is a sign that the industry is about to go through one of the biggest shakeups in decades. I'm willing to be Microsoft is building 2 new systems.
One being a simple upgrade of hardware.
The other being a box that you can fully upgrade and customize, that has Windows 10 built within it automatically.
>>334990190
Yes.
What makes matters even worse is that I have A FUCKING GLORIOUS WHITE PS4 THAT NEEDS TO BE FUCKING REPLACED FOR A SHITTY BLACK ONE JUST FOR "MUH GRAFICS" N SHIT
FUCK SONY
>>334990030
There is no mandatory update since no one said games will now only be released in the new version. I believe Sony is not stupid enough to cuck more than 40 million users.
Also, there are plenty of very interesting exclusives coming out. I will upgrade my pc at some time but a PS4 is still necessary since its exclusives are not available anywhere else.
>>334990030
absolutely none after I jump on a 980ti this summer
>>334990190
Who gives a shit. Are you poor or something?
I'll just get the fucking new one, doesn't matter a fuck to me.
>>334991626
Good for you,meanwhile anyone who just recently bought an old ps4 is getting fucked over.
>>334991486
When more and more new games come out for the console you will notice the gap in quality
>>334991512
>>334991302
You really think Microsoft will do this? They made the Xbox 360 last a long time so this would be a shock
>>334992910
I doubt it, as I said, they are not dumb enough to fuck with 40 million users and they must be stupid if they think people will just upgrade and be happy about it. People are already pissed off at them because of their horrible selection of PS plus games.
>>334990030
PC doesn't have any Japanese exclusives besides VNs and some indies.
I'll stay idort(minus xbone) for life
>>334990629
Unless you are literally retarded a PC is no harder than using a console, it's actually easier and more open.
>>334993545
But they are fucking with the userbase by doing this, it's just confusing for your average consumer and will split the userbase. I honestly think don't are getting greedy because they are the leading console atm
>>334990570
Oh you
It's time to face the music, consoles are a relic of the past like arcade machines and they need to die.
>>334993952
Yeah, I hope they realize their mistakes soon.
>wasting money on VR bullshit
>one of the reasons for PS4.5 is that VR seem to require more power
>a considerable number of its exclusives are interactive movies (they probably decided to go this way instead of funding Kamyia with Bayo 2 when he aproached them)
>upcoming exclusives feature strong womyn who needs no man aka western trash
>more interactive movies
Fuck this gen.
>>334994548
Moar teets
>>334994497
But they won't, too many people buy them.
>>334990030
>PC ports
after Arkham Knight, no thanks asshole
>>334994548
Ugh,VR on the PS4 will probably bomb just like the move did I have no interest in getting a PS4 if this is what they are planning to focus on.
>>334993703
Its literally not retard
>hurr durr im so smart its easy to me XD XD
>>334990190
Yea sony cucked us
I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't have paid online
>>334994863
Yes that's a terrible port but the blame lies with the company rock steady not the pcs fault
Glad I sold mine before this news. Come November the base models are going to be all over Craigslist.
>>334993685
So what you're saying is "I'm a shit eating casual faggot that shits up the vidya industry."
So why don't you do something about that first, THEN become PC master race?
>>334994983
Go on steam click play....it's that simple. I'm not trying to be smart either you literally must be retard if you think a PC is hard to use.
>>334995017
Sorry bro
>>334994983
No, PC's are really fucking easy to use.
They've phased out beginner's PC courses in most colleges because absolutely everyone already knows how to do more than just the basics.
>>334990030
Typical console generations only last about 5 years.
>>334990030
Webshit games
>>334995574
Do you think 3 years is long enough for the PS4 though?
What does the ps4.5 do differently?
>>334995332
No its not that simple twat
>>334996060
It will run better and has upgraded graphics card
>>334990629
#TyrannosaurusRekt
>>334996060
Has better hardware and can upscale garbage to a 4k TV if you own one.
>>334996180
Oh so you are a retard then
>>334990030
There already isn't much reason to get a console over a pc anyway.
Most games are coming out on ps3/4/boner/pc and the games are why you buy the console.
Well I already have a functional pc so I might as well just use it.
>b-b-but what exclusives does pc have?!?
Doesn't matter that it doesn't have many exclusives, because the bone a ps3/4 don't have hardly any either.
Pc not having many exclusives is not a reason to not use a pc when the same thing applies to the consoles.
>>334990129
But the console meme is now completely identical to the PC meme. It's not the old days where consoles were mostly custom parts and you bought one that was good for a whole generation.
>>334994497
Consoles are marketed and literally building a pc is not
Pcs would become a thing if ms bothers making steam machines with windows 10 instead
Though at this point maintaining a console is more expensive due to paid online and more expensive games
At one point there will be a cutoff. Meanwhile you have that guy playing dark souls 3 at 480p looking like kings field on a shitty toaster
>>334996348
Wii u and PC is a good combo most PS4 and Xbox 1 games come to PC but not Nintendo games.
>>334995502
How were we suppose to know? I subbed 3 times now since launch
Paid online is suppose to subsidize the cheap price now this shit comes out
>>334996853
I'm guessing your sub would pass over to the PS4.5 but you still gotta shell out more money for the new console obv
>>334995714
Nah
Less than the wii u
They def didn't plan for this
>>334990030
More and more people are making the switch to PC now especially after this PS4 neo trainwreck
>>334990587
so you play your consoles...what, every 2 months?
>>334990570
The fuck?
You don't need to upgrade the console any more than you need to get new parts for your PC. You do it if you want better performance but especially in the console's case there's nothing stopping you from playing the games on the old hardware
>>334997657
He still waiting for the last Guardian
>>334997773
PC users have been saying this for ages but the "need to upgrade every year" meme is still alive.
Also you are kidding yourself if you say you won't notice a difference between the PS4s once newer and better games come out in the future
>>334998169
Of course there will be a difference, but they'll still run on both versions. PS4 games already perform like shit compared to PCs, so why is it suddenly a problem for console players if the games run like shit compared to the newer PS4? Like I don't see why they suddenly feel the need to upgrade to better hardware when they could already have done it by switching to PC
>>334990030
So they over clocked it?
>>334998364
Pretty much but they added some extra crap for VR support too
>>334993545
>they are not dumb enough to fuck with 40 million users
This is the company behind 3dtv and 599 US dollars
>>334994761
>>334994918
Yeah, me neither. These gimmicks never really worked at all, I hope the "lol so nerdy" generation that we have now don't give them power.
I just like sitting on my couch and playing a game with a fucking controler, they put so much shit into the Dual Shock 4 that its battery never last long enough.
>>334998494
So console users can not overclock by themselves then?
>>334998330
You don't understand the consumer, they will want the PS4.5 why would they be happy knowing they have the shitty PS4?
>>334990190
No but im happy i didnt buy a PS4 yet,as always the first version of a console turns out to be shit.
>>334997773
i cant wait for the first PS4.5 exclusive
>>334998494
Haha no... consoles are not as open as pcs they won't let you do that.
>>334998545
Fuck.
Oh well, if they do it, it's back to PC for me. I will miss the possible exclusives but whatever.
>All these consolewar threads.
God damn, what cancer.
>>334998573
Yeah I heard about the battery life being shit on the PS4 pad also even though I play on PC I can still chill out on the couch with a wired 360 pad
>>334998670
Man its just so baffling
>haha xbone is less powerful compared to PS4
>PS4 is shit compared to PC? Whatever
>what the fuck why is my PS4 weaker than the new PS4, this is an outrage
>>334990030
>you have to
Whatever you say fampai.
PC doesn't have games besides eroge that can run on your grandma's laptop. PS4 is getting all the games and it will never ever be ported.
>>334990190
If you never buy the new one it literally makes no difference?
Just because you did not gain anything does not mean that you lost something.
>>334998921
I didn't want to start a war it's a legit question for console owners...do you want to upgrade your console every 3 years? And why not get a PC now?
>>334990030
Too paranoid about putting one together.
>>334999120
>I didn't want to start a war
>Being a lying nigger.
>>334999231
You got me
>>334991302
>The other being a box that you can fully upgrade and customize
So, a PC
>>334990448
If consoles literally had no (zero) (0) exclusives, they'd still be more popular than PCs for a variety of factors. The mass game industry isn't /v/, they're average joes who just want to play multiplats.
>>334999156
Get one pre-built and save the hassle
>>334998946
I tried hooking up my PC to my tv but sometimes it just does not work, every time I end up updating my nvidia driver my GPU stop recognizing the hdmi output, it sucks.
I'll get it right when I upgrade though.
>>334999485
I always hear those are incredibly underpowered and way overpriced though.
I do have a PC though, and will likely buy into early Pascal cards.
Still likely getting a 4.5 anyways. All the PC games I play are third party aka on fucking everything, the only PS4 games I play are console exclusives or Sony-made. PC releases are so far after some of the bigger console "exclusives" that its not worth waiting 6 months to a year for a 8/10 game.
>>334999485
Pre-builts will cause more hassle later on than watching a short youtube video of putting a computer together
>>334999420
The main thing that scares the average joe from a gaming PC is the thought of upgrading often...this is now happening to consoles.
>>334999565
Those videos are not helpful anon.
None. I bought a PS4 last year and my next gaming hardware will come with Pascal next year. Fuck consoles.
Console exclusives worth playing/trying this gen that have actually been released?
Bayonetta 2
Splatoon
Super Mario Maker
Xenoblade
Bloodborne
It seems kinda telling that X1 has no exclusives worth playing and seemingly the least amount. I'm not even really interested in Splatoon or Xenoblade but a lot of people seem to like them and I can appreciate the systems.I don't own any current consoles, last ones were a Wii and multiple 360s that RRoD'd so many times I gave up in 2010.
>>334990030
I already have a great PC but I also play consoles too.
>>334990030
I can still guarantee my games will actually work
>>334990030
Its been a fact since the xbox 360 era. People want PC hardware. If consoles teams made operating systems instead of hardware everyone would be happier. Console fags would be happy since you can't use a kb/mouse and it functions like their old systems but now with customizable hardware but a guarantee everything will work(Games made for the system have to be playable on the prebuilt sony/xboxteam makes).
Its the best case scenario for everyone. Cucks won't stop sucking dick to wonder if there is a better alternative to what they have now. They probably don't even know small form factors exist. They'll continue to pay out their ass to stay relevant and operational(monthly fees) then claim they've saved money. They destroy the industry by limiting games to certain systems instead of the immense playerbase that would be available through this new system. Upgrade your system a bit and it will play windows/xbox/sony games in much higher resolutions and framerates than normies. PC only faggots can shell out the small amount of money(in comparison to a console) to gain access to sony/xbox exclusives.
Its such a great system of doing things yet we'll all suffer just because its more profitable to have seperate machines that limit gaming and ensure it iwll be difficult to play older games.
>>334999616
Fact: The average Joe doesn't even KNOW you can play the same games consoles can on computers. Despite there being ports of arcade games on DOS, PC gaming was never really a thought outside of Europe. Americans never played games on computers, just on Ataris, Nintendos, and Segas.
The history of computer gaming is kind of fascinating, when you think about it. It's kind of admirable when companies like TAITO or Konami would contract developers to make ports for wildly proprietary computers. For example, Contra. While the NES version is the best known version, the game also saw FOUR different computer versions. One for the C64, one for the ZX Spectrum, one for the Amstrad CPC, and one for the MSX2.
>>334999534
Just avoid the big brand names like alienware they are usually way overpriced..honestly you don't have to pay that much for an average gaming PC and just hook it up to your tv
>>334999931
Will you buy a PS4.5?
>>334999616
>The main thing that scares the average joe from a gaming PC is the thought of actually having to learn about PCs
FTFY
>>334998364
No, it's got an entirely better GPU but will still be bottlenecked by CPU most likely.
Here are some rough specs.
>>335000040
Yeah but I'm not sure I would be able to put one together properly and I'm incredibly scared of aciddentally breaking something or putting it together wrong, especially when I learn about shit like thermal paste or setting up the OS when if I use a SSD.
>>334990030
>Being this upset at an upgrade existing even though they play the same games
Someone explain the butthurt to me because I seriously don't understand it. You're upset that other people can spend money to get a better console than you and play the same games as you with better graphics?
>>334999960
Is that before or after psn gets hacked?(again)
>>334995332
Hard to use, no. But pretending a PC is even kind of close to how easy and simple a console is being willfully ignorant. Face it, if PC's were actually as simple and easy as you claim, they would have massively taken over the market. Unless you want to admit exclusives actually matter =^)
Consolefags are the only humans who'll proudly shout about how stupid they are, and how it's a bad thing to be "smart" (as if it required half a brain to click buy, then click install, then click play, hell, it's harder to use the consoles' online stores than to use Steam)
>Nintendo shits out console revisions constantly
>Sony does it for the first time where the specs change
>everyone loses their shit
Wew
>>335000137
If it's what I need to play VR yes. Money isn't much of an issue for me with my job.
>>335000457
Nintendo is out of the curve. They do their own weird thing.
Sony is competing with Xbox One and PC.
>>335000137
You could save money if you buy the oculus rift instead of the PS4.5, PS move and PS VR
>>335000695
>Sony is competing with Xbox One
>>335000253
What do you mean? MY online play is working just fine
>>335000187
It's really not that hard if you buy a pre-built pc with windows it's literally plug in, setup your windows account and then you are good. You will only have to worry about the harder stuff like the thermal paste if you are going to build it yourself
Sony/Mustard hybrid master race reporting in. I think this business model is retarded and it will fail, and Sony will get the slap on the wrist it deserves.
>>335000457
Handheld is not the same
>>335000828
Yeah, I guess I can just buy a pre-built and build my own once I feel more comfortable.

>>335000745
I don't see a point of saving money, there's oculus games and sony VR games i want to play so i'm getting both.
Do any of you anons have some recommended PC building guides for a dumb ass like me?
>>335001276
You know you could just spend your money on something else other than 2 VR kits and 2 PlayStation consoles.

I don't buy Nvidia
Why don't they release a beefed up console that can at least keep 30fps at 1080p
could be doable at $450
