Prove me wrong.
Yes op forget mod capabilities and the thousands of older games. As well as emulation.
>>337203416
Also indie shareware titles that aren't being made for commercial success.
>>337203056
Correct..And thats why you dont spend 1300
700will do just fine
>>337203056

Literally anyone's PC, even kids in third world countries, can run those. I'm talking about a high end gaming capable one
>Mod Capabilities
The only game worth modding is Skyrim. Mods for other PC games are just gimmicky shit that don't change the core game

Yeah man I love all those early access and indie games flooding everything. You know as they as quantity>quality

>>337203639
I consider high texture mod to worth something, although it's a shame that games that are ported for consoles having the need to be retextured by player base is kind of sad, especially that we take it for granted.
Actually, there's something that you can't do on console, and that's surround setup. Even 21:9 res isn't available to console.
>>337204058Don't forget all those "free" Indie leftovers from PC.
>>337203553
find me a build for 700
PC is also the only platform that allows you to handle all the postprocessing in order to handle recording, storage, streaming as well as production of footages. There's no other platform that comes anywhere close in terms of what you can do in this sense, but you will just call that shit that only e-celebs would care about, and now it's

There you have it, a 700$ pc that'll last you longer than your xbone or ps4
By the way, even if you shit about the multiplayer titles, PC is far more rebust in coordination for clan action than any console. The full availability in collaboration software suites, remote management, audio recording and teleconferencing apps are just incomparable by any other platform.

You're just leading to the meme argument that PC isn't a console and that it's a productivity tool.

what the fuck are you doing?
you can make a good gaming console with $400 and it will be more powerful than a PS4.
thats just height of delusion, saying that pc dont have games or all the games on pc are shit
seriously i have a core2duo and i don't even have to worry about running out games
but for console fags if a new console comes old servers are shut down
u know i can still play open arena online it has over 1000 people daily playing not even counting that new quake live game players
Was thinking of upgrading my 770 but then what high end games are there to look forward to? I can even run wicher 3 comfortably enough with everything but hairworks.
>>337204995
Not one that can do VR with Oculus. We are looking at nothing less than a GTX 1070/1080.
>>337203056
When is this "PC has no game" meme going to end? Virtually every worthwhile game this gen is multiplat.
If you don't want a PC, then what do you suggest? A PS4? A console whose only worthwhile exclusive is Bloodborne? And Xbox One? A console that gets all its "exclusives" ported to Win10?
>>337203639
>The only game worth modding is Skyrim.
casual detected
no wonder you make such shitty threads
>>337205046
Depends on what you play
The only pc game I expect to buy this year has been XCOM 2.
Last year the only PC game I bought was Witcher 3.
I think the year before that I bought Wolfenstein New Order.
I don't expect to upgrade my PC hardware anymore. PC game development is honestly terrible now.
"I build a PC exclusively for video games"

>>337205075
>VR with Oculus
fuck that, no useless gimmicks.
>>337205023
It can't be helped that some people seriously thinks that RTS is dead, sims can't even count as games, turn based strategy aren't games and that FPS plays better with controller instead of KB+M.
>>337204889
It's useless to convince people that don't look at it as a versatile tool otherwise.
>>337205185
You don't need a powerful pc unless you play vidya or make videos.
>>337205263
yes and?
>>337203639
>Literally anyone's PC, even kids in third world countries, can run those.
So you've never emulated.
>>337205116
>When is this "PC has no game" meme going to end?"
never. you can go back to the 80s and read the same shitposting on bbs boards. then there was the bit wars consoles have cd roms now pc is finished shit that went on on and on and on and well here we are.

>>337205370
>implying he's ever used a computer
PCs are too hard, unlike consoles. All you have to do is press the on button and put your game in.
>>337205116
Stop projecting your taste. There's a lot of games released and keep coming that can't be played on PC. Well, if you only play AAA games then PC obviously is best choice.
>>337203056
>tfw built a $1000 PC plus $800 monitor but only play dorf fort and roguelikes
Actually, feels pretty god. Games suck anyway, guess I should retreat to /rlg/ for today.

Haven't bought a game on steam for about a year now. Kinda wish I just had a laptop instead to play visual novels I guess.
u forgot thousand of amazing rom hacks senpai which u cant install on a ps4 u definitely need a pc to hack rom even if you have a snes emulator on ps4 and i doubt there is a snes emu on ps4
When I next get a job I want to buy another PC for about $1300. Does anyone have any recommendations for systems, pre-built or otherwise?
Reminder that PC+3DS is the best combo
Only Nintendo has true exclusives.
>>337205465
The simplicity of a console is appealing.
No problems either.
But implying a PC is difficult to build and operate is literal square-in-the-circle-hole.
>>337205370
What are you gonna emulate? Even my laptop can emulate Wii games and there is no PS3/360 emulation.
Are you telling me you need a powerful rig for handheld emulation?
>>337205283
Pick parts you would use for work.
Exchange the CPU for one that's $100 more expensive.
Exchange the mobo for one that's $30 more expensive.
Exchange the PSU for one that's $20 more expensive.
Add a $300 GPU
Congrats, a PC you would have bought anyway is now high end for only $450 more.
I built a 1500$ PC (closer to 2k if you count peripherals and extras) and I only play Counter-Strike.
The worst part is, I don't think I regret it

At least look up what's coming out instead of complaining that there's "nothing".
>>337205698
Because thats exactly what I said right? You play well at being an idiot
I know OP is a troll, but he's not wrong. I've been wanting to upgrade my graphics card for the past two years but I can't justify dropping £250-300 on something that will benefit one or two games. Everything is well optimised console shit that will never use it, poorly-optimised console trash that requires it just to hit 20fps, or indie shit that could run on a toaster.
There is no reason to upgrade and consoles aren't faring any better. 2016 has been complete shit for gaming and there is literally nothing good on the horizon.
>>337206046
Maybe find a cheaper version of your "half the cost of the PC basically" graphics card
Perhaps something in the $500 range might ease your pain
>>337205887
>Are you some kind of "the graphics are not good so I don't like it" chucklefuck?

No retard, my point is you don't need a powerful PC to emulate old games, a fucking toaster can emulate. Learn to read you illiterate ape.
>>337206232
Why would I care about Cossacks or a Deus Ex game that looks even more dumbed down than HR?

>>337203056
Why do you need to be proven wrong, anon? Even accepting your premise as true, "half of the gaming library," when talking about the PC's library, is still literally orders of magnitude larger than the combined libraries of every console in any given generation.
Ain't nobody ever going to run out of the good shit any time soon. So where does that leave your argument?
