I have a PC, albeit not a high end one (i5 6500 nVidia GTX 950). I pretty much just use it to emulate old console games because there's really nothing on PC that I want to play.
It's either generic modern military FPS, assfaggots or 8-bit indie games with sprite graphics.
>>336387259
It depends on your definition of "great", I suppose
It's not like it feels so great that you're instantly orgasming, but you have the same level of control as with a controller, and the instant camera reaction time is just too convenient to ever go back to that stupid rate-controlled analog stick bullshit
>>336387451
what type of game do you want to play??
question
is 780 ti @ $300 a better buy the a same priced 970?
>>336387049
Anything that requires the player move around in a 3D space is objectively better with an analog stick and not a keyboard that wasn't designed for games in the first place. Keyboards are for typing.
Mouse is obviously better for aiming but keyboards suck shit for games that don't require lots of hot keys or MMOs/whatever that require a lot of typing.
>>336387451
>It's either generic modern military FPS, assfaggots or 8-bit indie games with sprite graphics.
That sounds like something a baiting console player would say

Probably not.
>getting a 970 with Pascal announced
>>336387667
>Anything that requires the player move around in a 3D space is objectively better with an analog stick
Nope
If you really need more than 8 movement directions (never comes up in a fight, but maybe you're platforming), you can position the camera quickly to get the desired movement way more accurately than you could with a stick
Even if you think the 8 directions thing is a serious disadvantage, it is massively outweighed by the ability to actually check your fucking surroundings
Also, you know how DaS has lockon? Wouldn't be necessary with proper mouse controls
>>336387939
>The only decent PC games today are console ports.
>>336387971
thats kinda what I figured
handy graph though
>>336387848
I play with sensitivity all the way up. Obviously if I'm playing a shooter I use KB+M, but that's because of the mouse.
When I play pretty much anything that's not a shooter or RTS, I'm using a controller. Action games suck shit on KB, platformers suck shit on KB. These are facts.

Yes.

>>336388231
This.
I swear some PC gamers would probably replace the steering wheels in theirs cars with kb+m if they could.
kb+m is great for RTS and FPS games but not much else.
now that you're going to have many console iterations with upgrades per generation, the advantage of lasting long of consoles is gone
they're trying their hardest to be shittier pcs at this point
>>336388305
What if im not interested on Counter Strike?, what other good fps are there on pc
>>336388414
The car analogy makes no sense but the steering wheel thing itself is a good point
Racan geams are the only ones that aren't superior with KB+M because you need analog movement input

Can you name some?
>>336388303
No? You just push it backward. How is that any different than moving your finger and pressing a different key?
Pressing keys is simply inferior to an analog stick. Keyboards are designed for typing, they can obviously be used for games but they were simply not intended for that purpose.

That's kind of the definition of unintuitive.
>>336388119
Actually those are opinions. And there's nothing inherently worse about playing 2D platformers with a keyboard vs controller.
>>336388958
My point was that it really doesn't matter once you have even started playing a single game on the PC

>>336388919
>moving the stick I'm already touching in a different direction
Not seeing how that's less intuitive than pressing a different key or multiple keys.
>>336388843
It's blatantly obvious that you have never spent an extended period of time playing games with m+kB
Protip: In a first person game using a m+kb makes it easier to fine tune your movement than using two analog sticks.
>>336386630
That's wrong though. Better pC = better performance for rendering videos, processing images, etc etc. consoles are for man children

>>336384792
>DVD Burner
...But why?
>>336389073
Control schemes are entirely different, you're using your fingers instead of your thumbs and it's harder into get precise movement/input when you're trying to line up jumps or need to press multiple keys at once.
Obviously anything can be played with a KB but that doesn't magically make it better with a KB that wasn't designed for video games at all.

you can't do anything on consoles besides play games, or watch movies. People spend their days working on computers. Your options are almost limitless. A console is a toy for children.
>>336382497
Sick Internet cred
But really now, if you NEED someone to tell you a good reason, you're better off with a console, nothing wrong with that.
>>336389483
99% of console exclusives run on last gen hardware
Your point is moot.
>>336389232
Platformers, racing games, action games, etc. are played better with a controller. It's why game consoles came with controllers and not keyboards. No one thought SMB was better on KB because it's not. It was designed to be used with a controller and the controller was designed for playing games.
>>336389231
>rendering videos, processing images
That's only useful if you work in AV
>consoles are for manchildren
Is this opposites day?
Consoles are for socially well adjusted people who play games recreationally after a hard day's work.
PCs are for manchildren to download furry futa mods for Skyrim on.
Normies don't game on PC. PC gaming is really a niche thing.
>>336389483
And that's a detriment how? Are you going to argue that it's bad? Are you going to argue that a console exclusive FPS is better than any of those?
>>336389584
>>336389631
read OP
Because the vast majority of PC gamers used to be consolefags and when we say PC is better, it's probably out of experience.
You'll learn one day, consolefatty. You'll get curious and start saving up. It all starts somewhere.
>>336389348
>you're using your fingers instead of your thumbs and it's harder into get precise movement/input when you're trying to line up jumps or need to press multiple keys at once.
For YOU.
There is nothing inherently more difficult about using a keyboard to line up jumps than there is using your thumbs. At most you have to press 1-2 keys simultanously to aim your jump.
If you find WASD that unintuitive then you might be functionally retarded.

OP didn't specify what high-end means, you can build a high-end computer for 800€ and run everything 1080p/60fps for the next decade.

>>336389731
>If you find WASD that unintuitive then you might be functionally retarded.
No, he's technically right
If you sat someone who has never seen a keyboard (or only used it for typing) in front of his first ever videogame and told him to move, he wouldn't know how (he'd probably try the arrow keys which doesn't fly anymore these days)
It's unintuitive, it just doesn't matter because tutorials and manuals exist

>>336389618
PCs are used for far more than gaming. Your manchild brain is somehow incapable of understanding this. Adults use them for work, paying taxes, even making video games. You can't do any of this on a console which is just a toy for children. Every home should have a computer and you're better off spending some extra money for a higher powered one than buying a console.

You can get a console for a third of that price and play the same games, plus exclusives
>>336390121
We're not talking about PCs you retard, we're talking about GAMING PCs.
Most people buy a laptop from Amazon and use that to pay their taxes. They don't drop $300 on graphics card.
>>336388231
I like how you convinetely ignore the mouse, you know, the thing you use to point yourself in a direction, in order to shitpost about how much keyboard keys weren't designed for games.
Your thumb will never, NEVER match the precision of a mouse. It's a simple fact. See: Fitts Law. The only time you will be at an inherent disatvantage from using a keyboard is when playing 3rd person action games or racing games where you aim isn't nearly as much of a factor. And even in fighting games a keyboard has a distinct advantage over a gamepad. It's the proto Hitbox.
>>336388414
If anything it's the otherway around. Console gamers like to argue that using a controller takes more skill (harder to use) so they might as well start using a racing wheel to play shooters and non racing games since that takes more skill.
>>336390345
They don't. Normies play FPS games, sports games and GTA.
They don't play games with chinese cartoon girls with fox tails.
>>336390121

Why the fuck would you even make this thread OP?
How fucking sad is that. Atleast some people in this thread are actually excited about video games instead of being an angsty crybaby bitch who thinks his taste is better than everyone else. Why don't you go play your quality console games instead of spending time discussing something you don't even enjoy.
>>336390457
Holy shit you really are retarded. I will repeat what I just said. People are better off spending more on a PC (gaming PC = spending more money on a computer) because they have more utility (there are more uses for it, the PC/ gaming PC) than if they bought a console (toy for children which can only play games)

People play games to unwind after a hard days' work. They sit down on their couch, grab a beer and the controller and play.
They don't want to sit at a fucking desk which is what they've been doing all day in the office.
Yes, I know you can buy an HDMI cable and a wireless controller etc but normies don't have time for that shit. Consoles just work.

>>336390421
Except for the fact that a console has objectively less games and less exclusives than a PC. Consolefags don't want to acknowledge this fact so instead they overvalue console exclusive software and pretend PC games arbitrarlialydon't exist or aren't worth playing.
>>336391036
There's nothing wrong with liking MOBAs anon but you can't talk about that shit with normies. I don't mention that I play JRPGs with my normie colleagues either.
>>336390596
>I like how you convinetely ignore the mouse
If you had been following the conversation you'd see this is incorrect and I flat out stated genres like shooters and RTS are objectively better with KB+M.
See
>>336388119
I said platformers, action games and racing games are better with a controller. Because they are, because they were designed to use them and controllers designed specifically for input while playing a video game. Aiming is functionally the same as pointing and clicking with a mouse so it's better and more precise with a mouse than an analog stick.

>>336391128
>Consoles just work
But see, that's the problem, they don't "just work" anymore. You have to do the same shot you on a PC. Forced installs, massive patches, register an account on the consoles DRM platform, etc.
Consoles haven't "just worked" outside Nintendo's stuff in well over a decade. And they have shit for exclusive games to boot today too, so combine the two (and an increasing lack of local MP and fucking paid online) and consoles have really lost a lot of what made them attractive before.
>>336391536
PC gaming dying is my favorite meme
>>336391385
The market doesn't lie anon. Consoles are vastly outselling PCs. Normies don't have the time or the desire to learn how to build and troubleshoot a fucking gaming PC.

So why get a high powered PC to check emails and use Word?
>>336391430
You realize actual hitbox controllers are modified to disable certain simultanious inputs right? Using an unmodified hitbox will get you DQ'd from any serious tourney.
>>336391128
Retail sales for console games were down 14% from last year.
>>336391630
if they push this ps4k and upgrade xbone thing as a continuous trend, add that to the list, then it will be cheaper to get pcs hardware wise too

Have you been living under a rock for the last decade?
>>336391630
You don't have to install drivers, configure hardware, replace hardware, run virus and adware scans, etc...
Like I said, normies don't have time for that shit. I work in IT and, trust me, most normies can barely use a computer let alone build one.
>>336391128
I like how you explicitly admit that you can do everything with a PC for couch gaming that you can with a console, and then immedietely disregard it because "normies cant do that shit" and defend casual gaming. Cognitive dissonance at it's finest.
Console fanboys are a joke.

Sad. You guys used to be master races during the American console crash of the 1980s. What happened?

Why get a smartphone when regular cellphones already let you text and make phonecalls?
Why do you think Email and Word are the only two things PCs are used for?
Why are console gamers so retarded?

You want to play Ark on medium settings with good fps.
>>336391565
If you honestly believe all working people only need a PC to use Microsoft Word and check their emails you need stop deluding yourself you mong.
>>336392026
I'm not a console fanboy. I own a PC see>>336387451
I'm just stating the obvious. Why do you think Linux isn't more popular and most people use Windows/Mac OS?
That's right because normies don't have the desire to fuck around with the terminal just like they have no desire to learn about building and maintaining a PC.
>>336392052
Sure they can but it's just not an economically sound proposition when you look at the price of Alienware/MSI machines.
Plus all their friends are playing on XboxLive.

>>336391691
Console sales have been down every year since ~2010, the market is shrinking.
>>336392408
You're comparing OSes in order to argue between PCs and Consoles
Words cannot describe how fucking dumb you sound right now.
>>336392408
Except it is when you are spending more on a PC instead of buying an PC AND then spending an extra $600 on a console.
>>336384015
>buying a meme card
>>336392534
meanwhile, budgets are going up up up
crash when?
>>336392121
Because it doesn't trigger me kek.
Also you should probably stop passing yourself as a real person or your friends on League might kick you from their guild (or whatever they think makes them think they're friends)
>>336392013
>You don't have to install drivers
What are console updates and firmware
>configure hardware
Since when is customization a bad thing?
>replace hardware
Tell that to people who are going to buy a PS4.5 and NX next year.
>run virus and adware scans
You might as well have just said "I am literally too retarded to use a computer"
It's amazing the lengths people will go to justify consoles. This isn't 1999 anymore dipshit. Consoles are now gimped PCs and actual PCs are not arcane devices that bluescreen on you every two minutes.
>consoles have no viruses
Ah, innocence, how cute it is.
>>336392408
No one uses Linux because there's little support even compared to MacOS. You simply can't do everything you can do on Windows on Linux because half the shit you might want to run isn't even compatible.
With console/PC, everything the console does the PC also does. Now that exclusives are basically dead and consoles pull the same massive updates and installs there's little advantage to them anymore even in terms of convenience.
>>336392274
Because I can assure you working out of your phone is much more essential and needed than having a hobby on an overpriced PC
>>336382497
Pay once and forever backward compatibility.
>>336392932
Why so retarded?
>>336392597
Maybe, except that consoles don't cost $600 and you're forgetting the time investment required for maintaining and troubleshooting a PC. Normies don't want to deal with that shit.
>>336392774
Console updates are all automated.
Customisation isn't a bad thing but it requires further time investment and knowledge with the potential to fuck things up. People want something you just plug in and play.
>You might as well have just said "I am literally too retarded to use a computer"
A lot of normies are. Like I said, I work in IT and I could tell you stories...
A powerful tool
Use it.
>>336392618

Y/N
If Yes, then viruses are reality.
>>336385568
>*also on Xbone & PS4
I want to see you running atomic beauty on your console ye pleb ye..
There is no reason. My 6 year old PC can still flawlessy run every PC exclusive that's worth playing.
I can't. I have more hours in the Nioh demo than I have in the last 2 weeks on steam.
>>336393284
They cost more than 600 since you have to buy the console, a tv, pay for online, games. You're forgetting that normies are starting to get rid of TV in favor of streaming services.
>>336393284
Then normies can buy prebuilts. Fuck, a fucking Mac would have access to so many more games than a PS4 its not even funny and they are the shining example of the "it just works" convenience "normies" look for.
And you think consoles don't require troubleshooting and don't experience downtime and errors? Have you played an AAA game recently?
>>336382497
RTS
mods
cheaper than consoles
dont have to pay for own internet
more customization
did I mention RTS?
multiplays run better on high end pc
piracy
steam sales
Indie games
Eroge
Did I mention that RTS is the best genre there is and consoleplebs can't play it?
>>336393731

Now go back to playing old games from your dead genre
it has games

you can play games while browsing this autistic website so I don't get why people on here are so against it if they are here so much
>>336382497
Just buy a regular PC, Pirate Bay works anyway.

They just spend more time shitposting on /v/ about le Masterrace then they actually play vidya.
Also implying MOBAS aren't total casual shit.
On top of that hands down the most cancerous memespouting user base in and outside of /v/
>>336395623
dude like every post on /v/ is about ps4, weeb shit, or a combination of the two. Also PC can post on here while playing games at the same time. Consoles are just stripped PC's with exclusives. Sorry you had to learn the hard way.
Damn, no one can name a single good reason.
It's over, PC bros. We lost.

>>336395348
Cool exaggeration, bro
>>336382497
You don't. You make a PC or buy a Thinkpad. That is the only good choice in 2005.
I don't get it, why would anyone who likes to play games IE a video game enthusiast think it's good to play games with lower quality and fps?
Is it because they're poorfags who can't afford anything or do they really like low fps and graphics?
Being a console gamer is like being a music nerd who listens to low quality rips of songs instead of god-tier .flacs
>>336394192
Never happened to me desu
>>336397646
>He thinks .flac quality is actually noticeable
>falling for /mu/ memes

>>336397992
I bet you think CD masters have the same quality they did 25 years ago, too.
>>336397646
Top: playing on PC
Bottom: playing on console
>>336382497
Give me one (1) reason not to buy a high end gaming PC in 2016.
>>336382497
YOU TOYING WITH IT LIKE HAPPY MEAL
>>336382497
so I can emulate PS2 and Gamecube games :^)
>>336390913
i finished all dark souls games with mouse and keyboard, the first one with dsmfix ofcourse. But having heard a lot of "dude you should totally play souls games with controller its so much better" i dusted out my logitech rumblepad that i used to play wing commander with and tried it with dark souls. Oh boy it was annoying as fuck, absolutely unprecise movement and retarded camera control, and don't fucking tell me xbox or ps4 controller would be any better. I dunno who in their right mind would recommend controller over m+kb in dark souls now
>>336389727
THIS
SO MUCH FUCKING THIS
>>336397992
>quality between flac and mp3
>not noticeable
>being deaf
So you can browse /v/ on Firefox in 144fps and play high res videofiles. Well, that's pretty much all I've been using my high end PC for lately but frankly I don't really regret it.

> One of those immersion atmospheric freaks who probably gets high as fuck and plays modded beast mode sky-rim and just soaks in the textures: monster rig
once i had a monster rig the novelty of the good graphics wore off and i really wouldn't mind playing medium to high graphics, as long as you're able to run the game and play it you're good
>>336385854
So you should play DMC and Dark Souls with a mouse and keyboard?
>>336384015
I can play nearly everything you listed on this hand me down lap top.
>>336382497
I will give 3:
PCSX3
XENIA
CITRA
Of course you can wait billion years until it runs 999fps on pentium 3... or buy decent rig and play by the end of this year
>>336382497
>Piracy if you're so inclined
>Play multiplats at higher graphical fidelity and framerate

Honeslty, I think the last point is a big seller. You're always going to want a computer, why not just spend the extra money that you would otherwise spend on a console on getting a better PC that can do console stuff in a better form anyway?
