Why would anyone choose to play games on a consoles rather than a PC? Other than budgetary reasons, of course.
can any console owners explain? I'm not trying to shitpost, I'm genuinely curious.
>>339488204
Budgetary reasons.
>>339488204
why would anyone build one of these custom retardations when in like 4 years you are going to have to change it completely.
Ease of access, the average/casual person would most likely take one look at your OP and say "fuck that".
>>339488204
why would you post a pic of my pc?
A PC won't fit in my AV cabinet below my projector screen. Also had it since the 360 came out and the shit still works and ran new games up until 2 years ago when they stopped making it. All I use it for now is Netflix/HBO and playing old games every once and awhile.
>>339488331
>thinks four years is a short amount of time
What are you, a basement virgin that does nothing all day except watch time fly?
If they're like me then it's because of the exclusive games. Also I don't know why people keep making assumptions like you can only ever have one system. Seems to be the standard nowadays for people to have both a PC and a console of some kind.
I love my PC and the fact that it's objectionably better than the consoles on the market but sometimes it's just nicer to kick back and play a game without pissing about with the settings between quality and performance.
>>339488204
Why am I looking at a PC that looks like it came off of a Nickelodeon game show
>>339488204
What's the point of fans if it's open like that?
I like Japanese games.
Consoles still get the most Japanese games even though pc is getting more and more.
>>339489490
The fans are blowing air to cool the system
>>339488204
For one I much prefer being comfy on my couch in front of my huge TV with a nice feeling controller in my hand than hunching over a tiny ass monitor (that defeats the purpose of having higher resolutions, the only advantage PC has) while attempting to play a game on a device that was designed to be used for typing.
For two PC community is complete garbage, full of neckbeard elitists, anime ERPers and hackers.
For three I like not having to replace a CPU GPU constantly just to play new games. My consoles have cutting edge graphics for about 10 years before needing an upgrade thanks to games being optimized for them. Other than dumb graphicswhore games like Crysis, PC and console games have the exact same graphics other than resolution, which is rendered moot by the fact PC gamers play me on tiny ass monitors.
Basically you are an idiot if you fall for the PC scam.
Because consoles get all the good games. It's that simple.

Budgetary reasons and exclusives. Also handhelds are nice if you don't have a strong laptop and are rarely home.

I use my pc for audio/video editing only, I work there, like hours everyday
At the end of the day I like to just sit back and relax and play some vidya on the couch with the big screen
yes, I know you can plug the pc into the big screen and play on the couch as well, but I like the immediacy of just turning on the console and playing
what's the drawback anyway? a couple of frames less and medium to low settings? I can live with that
I really don't see the point of spending 1000€/$ to buy a machine to play videogames, especially since there's no real exclusive content and most of the best games on pc were created with console hardware in mind
yes, I know you'll spout the whole LIL BUT WE EMULATIUN NAO, but I pretty much have every home console from the nes upwards, I don't really like emulation

I do have a PC but I think you underestimate how stupid a lot of people are. Most of my friends wouldn't go near building a PC and would never put in the ten minutes of effort it takes to learn. Also, some people just want a few games like whatever newest basketball shit is out. Consoles are undeniably easier and its not worth working for just a few games.
Consoles also have exclusives as well, like I have a PS4 almost entirely for Bloodborne.

Name 10 8th gen exclusives that I can play on my PC right now.
>I'm not trying to shitpost
Well, you're shitposting.
The best PC exclusives either can be played on a toaster or have performance issues that can't be brute forced with better hardware
For me, I only ever played Playstation or Xbox simply because I never knew how easy it was to build a gaming PC. I always thought the people who played on PC were rich as fuck and I would need to save up a ton of cash on order to buy a gaming rig. When I did hear about people putting together their own PCs and that it was easy as hell, I thought that I'd give it a whack. Turns out it was easy as hell.
So maybe people aren't as educated in PC building as we are?
Either way, I still play on my PS4 so I don't have to worry about exclusives and am planning on getting an Xbone as soon as it's worth it. Maybe never....
>>339488204
becauseneogaf
In my opinion is because all you gotta do is pop the game in and play without having to worry about system requirements
Then there's money off course
And also people who want to sit in their living room and play with their family or some shit
Hell they might be too stupid to build our buy their own computer correctly
Exclusives. I'm on the brink of deciding if I buy a PS4 or build a PC. I really don't want to miss FFXV, Nier and Ni No Kuni 2.

I'm short by two, but I really don't pay that much attention to console games. I'm sure someone else can fill in the gaps.

>>339495902
The new wave of "mastur raic" faggots might as well be on a console, since all they play is esports cancer and AAA console ports.
Exclusives
Ease of Access
Games guranteed to work
That and its better to have a console to play new games and a half decent PC to play CSGO, LoL, DotA, etc. Instead of paying a shit ton of money to only play a the same 2 games on high graphics.
I got tired of always taking a risk when buying AAA games, not even just because I didn't think my pc could run them, it's just when there is so many different problems like crashes and shit that I just don't understand how to fix. It's really hard to get into if you never know how to fix a problem. That's why I'd prefer to play some new games on console
>>339496237
>Games guranteed to work
With the amount of disasters over the past couple of years, "no".
I built a PC 5 1/2 years ago with every intention of upgrading it.
Financial and personal hardship is a bitch, though, and I decided to go the console route about a year ago due to the inability to even run some new releases.
I did help my brother build his own though, and he has been upgrading his. He just got a 4 GB graphics card and a new processor.
Makes me proud for that at least.
>>339496359
Any examples?
>>339496606
Just off the top of my head, Ass Creed Unity and Halo
>>339488925
there are htpc cases
>>339496670
1.] Nobody on this board is buying those games
2.] I imagine it still runs better than on PC where you always here about how
"X developer doesnt care about making a proper PC port"
Like how Arkham Knight isnt even playable on PC
>>339496971
At least when you buy a game on PC that doesn't work you can get a full refund.
>>339496297
Good answer, friendo. I personally do have the knowledge to solve most issues, but it's easy to forget that manu don't.
>>339496237
a half-decent PC + a console and all its related fees would add up to more than just building a good pc
>>339497398
>related fees
?
And what are you building a good PC for, DotA?
>>339498153
>related fees

>DotA
i don't play mobas, no
>>339497169
I don't really know where to start too
Why would I spend +$700 on a PC only to have 30 fps more than on a console but then have to deal with shitty ports, technical difficulties, and miss out on exclusives?
Without any real exclusives, and with the rampant pirating there is, the platform will be nothing more than indie shit and f2p shooters/ MOBAs.
Also like it or not the truth is that the average PC gamer plays on either on medium settings or on a toaster and only play games like LoL, DOTA, Team Fortress etc etc. Fuck even RPGs are more popular in consoles than in PC now; the only thing PC has left is strategy games.
>>339490605
>less than a monthly salary
>>339493483
Think about it anon, for less money you don't get to miss out on those exclusives, and you get to also play every game that releases on PC. All you sacrifice is 30fps, is that really that important? Do you play games to have fun or to look at slightly prettier graphics?
>>339489025
It's a short amount of time indeed since you shit on consoles everything because of that.
>>339488204
The only thing that a PC is outright necessary for would be shooters
And I don't fucking touch shooters
>>339488204
>that case
Oh jesus christ the horror. Not because it's ugly as shit, but because it can't function as a proper case.
The whole point of a case is to have an enclosed environment to siphon air through it in a specific direction to keep temperatures low. Usually air is pulled in to the case from the front then expelled out the back.
With that case the fans are just blowing hot air out of the bottom of the case, and since it's open the hot air immediately enters circulation again. So even with water cooling, that thing will be a fucking furnace.
>>339499127
>you get to also play every game that releases on PC
holy shit PS4 got Stellaris, X Com 2 and Mount & Blade 2?
>>339499631
and strategy. and simulation. and any RPG more complicated than a zelda game.
>>339499985
>Zelda
>RPG
>>339500110
modern "rpgs" like skyrim have more in common with zelda than classic CRPGs. i don't actually think either one is an RPG, but that's what the modern industry is going to give you
The human eye can only see 28 fps anyway
>>339499808
Stellaris is literally a fucking who game, XCOM 2 is not that great, and M&B2 is possibly releasing for consoles.
Meanwhile with a PC you miss out on FFXV, Nioh, Bloodborne and whatever future exclusives that may be released.
But you make a good point, you buy a PC if you are into strategy games.
>>339499127
>All you sacrifice is 30fps
And mods, backwards compatibility, free online, controller choice, etc
>>339499985
Not true, both Divinity and Wasteland released for consoles and they play very well. Pillars of Eternity was shit.
Name me any other RPG released recently that isn't made with rpgmaker and hasn't been released on consoles.
>>339502480
>RPG released recently
that was kind of my point though, console limitations basically killed the genre
see
>>339500330
Because so far no game has made me think
>holy shit, this is so good I need to drop $1200 to play it 1440p/120fps
The ones that I would actually do that for are console exclusives. I'll build a PC one day anyway because I actually want one to play stuff like modded New Vegas, STALKER, and a bunch of PC exclusive games like Age of Decadence and several shooters on a nice 1440p monitor. Games are usually better on PC because of the higher horsepower.
Problem is, very few games warrant it in my opinion.
It's funny because a whole fuckload of once-exclusive franchises and properties have started to find their way to Steam this gen, and well console-exclusive well has started drying up
Meanwhile, all 3 major manufacturers have introduced/announced a mid-lifecycle hardware upgrade necessary to run newer games (WELL, at least)
And long gone are the days when console games could be popped in and turned on, everything has an HDD install and a constant stream of patches starting day 1
And now that the console as a concept has begun circling the drain, /v/ is full to the brim with shitposting about "pcucks" and the constant reposting of the 10 or 15 exclusive games anyone cares about in the last 15 years.
Y'all calm down, consoles dying is a good thing.
>>339502228
>you buy a PC if you are into strategy games
or if you're into being able to aim competently in any genre that requires it
Ignoring the obvious answer (exclusives), I like not having any distractions while playing on console. No steam, discord, or /v/ to tab out to. I'm always focused on whatever I'm playing, whereas when I'm playing on PC I always have something else open on my other monitor or in a different window to tab out into.
That being said, I still primarily play on pc
>>339502991
The real problem is, console games are limited to 30fps and games like fallout 4 can drop to a staggering 15 fps during gameplay. Theres no real reason to own a console this gen aside from 1st party exclusives and for last gen games that havent made theyre way to pc (eg. Red dead, catherine, ni no kuni for example).
Every other jap game this gen seems to be heading to pc so theres really no point in buying a playstation console for jrpgs(neptunia, senran, dangonronpa and the recently announced onechanbara as examples).

The NX is a new console after 4.5 years, only a bit short of the norm (prior to the outlier seventh generation).
Wii U games can be popped in and turned on and almost all of them work as intended/advertised on day one. Patches are infrequent.
The console as a concept is not dying. You'll still have to emulate those Nintendo games you can't play on PC.
>>339503050
>Consoles dying is a good thing
Have you considered the state PC gaming is in? Most of your games are f2p trash, or cheaply made kikestarter games. The only reason good games keep coming out is because consoles make a huge market for it, otherwise every studio would move to mobile or f2p market. Heed my words, the day consoles die is the day that gaming dies too.
Only good thing PC keep getting are niche genres like strategy
>>339503570
>Competently aim
If everyone has the same aiming handicap there's no disadvantage, secondly it isn't that fucking hard to aim with a stick I've never had any trouble with it except when I played a shooter for the first time.
>>339504014
>The only reason good games keep coming out
good games stopped coming out 16 years ago
>>339488204
>cant play exclusives on PC
>PC ports are poorly optimized and sometimes unplayable
>have to install DRM shit like EA Origin, Steam, or whatever the fuck Blizzard uses
>hackers on steroids
If I just had a PC and no consoles there are a bunch of games I could never play.
>>339504180
chalk it up to opinion if you want but i honestly cannot understand how people tolerate twin stick shooters unless they've honestly never tried anything else. anything even remotely involving shooting is effectively a PC exclusive for me personally. i never even used the guns in the first 4 metal gear solid games until they forced me for bosses. it's a nightmare.
>>339504197
If you are so jaded then why do you keep following a gaming interest board? I for one I'm having great fun with the games that are releasing this gen, give Bloodborne a try, and if you have friends Overwatch is a blast played 8 hours straight last night.
Also if good games stopped coming out 16 years ago I guess you could then buy a $300 laptop and play all of those games, no need for a $800 machine.
>>339504014
If the world worked like the console industry, you could only gas up your Honda at Honda-brand gas stations with Honda-brand gas
ANY time a closed platform dies to a more open platform, it is a good thing. If that means that multi-million dollar cinematic trash like UC goes the way of the Dodo, I'd say that's icing on the fucking cake.
Also I find it funny you blame PC for F2P when (a) that's a mobile-pioneered format, and (b) consoles were the original home of paid DLC. It used to be content patches were free and were expected to be such. But console users had no expectation of post-release support so they happily forked over cash for something PC players had gotten for free until that point.
Really we have the same thing in reverse now; on PC games that nickel-and-dime you to death are expected to be free, but console users having low expectations means they'll accept games like TF2 for a full $60 price tag, and happily shit up /v/ with Overwatch memes in their delight about it.
I just find it weird that console users will so happily pay for something given to PC users for free and then blame US for the success of the business model. Piece-meal sale of game content has ALWAYS been stronger on console.

>>339504653
Did you see the report that was released recently? The one that said PC gaming was vastly more profitable than consoles? Well if you saw that you'd see that the profitability came straight from microtransactions which wasn't the case in consoles. You have to accept that PC being an open platform as you say, attracts the kind of people who never buy a full priced game but spend $10 every month on a hat or whatever.
Also I don't think anyone blames PC gaming for that, most people just point out that its in PC that microtransactions are more rampant
>>339505139
now that consoles are moving to china and india you'll see it start there too. the only reason it didn't happen sooner is they were literally banned in china until recently.
>>339505139
I didn't see that report but I'd be interested to read it.
I'd also be interested to see how much of that was actually PC games and how much of it was lonely people forking over thousands of dollars for bullshit in Facebook games, because that's a totally different animal.
Also, I'd be interested to see how those numbers changed if only consoles had even one popular moba because those fucking games are like cash-guzzling autismo-magnets and I'm not sure that their almost accidetal success really says much about the kind of games console expats would be playing.
Because anybody who forsees a world where the death of consoles means LoL is the only game on PC is being stupid.
>>339504527
While I'm not primarily a PC gamer I have played a couple of fps on PC and then played them on consoles and honestly my aim is the same on both platforms. Granted console games have a bit of auto aim to compensate but I can't say that I find a huge difference between both control schemes.
>>339488204
I like to relax and play vidya. Not look like a fucking nerd close to a little ass screen. Face it people with consoles have lives. While people who play on pc's have no lives. Its the truth.
Because money, but also I'm just fucking lazy and don't want to deal with all the headaches that come with building, setting up, and managing a PC. I've been a console fag my whole life and it's what I'm used to. I like Playstation's exclusives and spending a gorillian dollars for a pc when all I wanted was to play overwatch is a huge waste.
My PC is a toaster. I can run up to the Witcher 1 and dark souls pretty easily but anything after that run like hell and I make 30 grand a year so I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

guess it's just preference then.
after last gen, though, with nothing but shooters as far as the eye can see, and the fact that i got both the red ring and yellow light on my 360/PS3 and was basically told to go fuck myself by tech support, i'm just fucking done with consoles. this generation has been such a trainwreck so far i haven't missed out on anything yet.

>>339505994
Nah.
If games like Smite teach (intelligent) studios anything, it's that the LoL/Dota 2 model just doesn't translate well. After LoL's runaway success, a bunch of studios tried to make other games that ran on the multiplayer-driven F2P microtransaction based format but none of them have quite caught on in the same way.
Sort of how subscription-based online was all the rage for a time after WoW's runaway success.
Or how everyone needed a controller gimmick after the runaway success of Wii Sports.
What these things all have in common is that they were errant blips that did nothing to fundamentally change the way the games market works (even though everyone swore they would).
Everything returns to median in the end, there have been precious few trajectory-altering moments.
The one thing bad that I would say is likely if PC becomes the predominant platform would be an increased emphasis on user-generated content. I think shit like Steamworks and paid mods would blow the doors wide open for games built as half-finished frameworks for paying customers to actually design content for.

Many people use computers at work, or for work. And they just want to relax in a couch and change settings when playing games.
Also many still consider the "put disc and play" is a thing and want to avoid the troubleshooting that comes with PC.
Money is also a big factor, another reason could be that its easier to just pick a console than putting together an enthusiasts gaming PC (choosing and buying parts etc)
Many reasons come to mind, its not that hard.

You can build an equal or slightly better PC for the same cost as a console, but also don't have to pay for online services in addition to your own internet costs, and you have many many many more free titles on PC, especially if you include emulation, AND you can use a PC for non-gaming things, like, idk, writing an essay for school or some shit.

>>339504014
The idea that the industry would die if the hypercasual console market died is absurd. Developers would just have to go back to smaller budgets and making games that target demographics actually WANT, and maybe have to compete to make good games again. Consoles dying would strangle big companies that rely on their sales, who are usually the ones churning out "muh widest audience for most shekels" garbage anyway. Consoles dying would be fantastic

Exclusives and also split screen games
1. My casual friends still only game on console, and I have fun playing with them. I tried to convince them to get a gaming PC too, but half are too poor, and the other half needs their Gears of War and Bloodborne.
2. Where my sorely outdated PC is, my wife uses her other one for photography. She just spent 1500 on a shitty Apple, but won't let me build one for half that cost unless I use it for business reasons.
3. I've had some decent experience with exclusives like Natural Selection 2 and modding older games, but otherwise it doesnt seem like a big deal. 60 fps every game is fucking sweet and should be the standard though. Fuck consoles in that regard.
>>339490325
I really hope you're joking. Console gamers can't be this stupid.
Paying more money for the same games? no thanks, PS4 has every relevant game plus japanese exclusives, i also already have a toaster for old PC games and indieshit, which is all PC is good for nowadays
>>339488204
As a player of both PC and console, I choose console as my primary gaming system because the PC gaming community is full of middle/upper class spoiled brats who are only childs.

>>339490561
It takes me no more than 1 minute to buy a game on Steam, you must be doing something wrong or you've never even tried. Also, it is long gone that consoles allow you to insert disc and play, unless you're still on PS2.
>>339488331
You can upgrade your PC any time you want. You can upgrade it every single month, or you could upgrade it once every 10 years. Whereas new consoles come out every 5 years.

Why do PC retards keep spouting these lies?
>>339492185
Yes.
Also, whether games will work or not on your rig is random, whether you have a good one or not the game may still not work. Console doesn't have that problem....but PC Master Race enjoy these kind of problems because it's the biggest problem they will ever have in their life.

>'m not trying to shitpost
Don't even need to read the thread to know that's what's going to happen. The PC gaming meme has gone way too fucking overboard since that Yahtzee video where all the Reddit manbabies took "le PC Master Race" meme seriously and decided they need to act like vegans by declaring how enlightened and superior they are for playing with children's toys at higher resolutions and frame rates. It used to be tolerable, but with the flood of people not from 4chan on /v/ it's just gotten worse and worse.

>>339517085
It depends on the game, but it usually takes less than a minute to start playing the game
Also Steam is trash, there are way more overt casuals on Steam than console...all those casuals obsessed with the bs level system. At least with trophies and achievements scores it actually requires you to play the game. Whereas on Steam you can have a casual shopping trip buying a bunch of crap for a game you have played for 2 hours cause you were idling on the menu waiting for trading cards to drop and the rest of the hours are you idling on the menu clocking in hours so it looks like you've played it more because you're such an elite gamer. On console you can't put a stupid picture of your face all over your profile and treat it like Facebook...thank god.

Myths:
>But I like to sit on a couch
You can sit on a couch and use a keyboard and mouse, I'm doing it right now.
>But I like to use a controller
You can use a controller on PC
>But I don't want to pay $5,000 and have to upgrade it every week
If you pay $1,000 you will have a PC twice as strong as current gen consoles that will last a long time, and you can upgrade as frequently or as infrequently as you want. You also don't have to buy a new mother board, power supply, case, or hard drive every time you upgrade. If you're smart, and if you play a lot, PC gaming is actually cheaper than console gaming, when you factor in the price of games and the amount of games playing on PC gives you access to.
>But consoles are more convenient / ease of access
I can click 2 times right now, and I'd be in a game. Doesn't get much more convenient than that. Consoles have long start up times and mandatory upgrades that take a long time to download, and it's not convenient having the games you play spread across 5 different platforms. I'd rather have them all on one convenient system, which is pretty much my setup aside from a few exceptions which I have a Wii U for. It's so convenient having 99% of my games on PC and only having one console.
>But PC is all about graphics
PC is about more, better, and cheaper games. Just because it also has better graphics doesn't mean that's what it's all about. It is better in every significant way.
Console-exclusive releases and that most of my friends still play on consoles. I still play games on my PC though.
>>339517953

I have both. Exclusives. And most games are developed for consoles, so you get gimp education no matter how powerful your hardware is. Triple monitor is cool, but lack of physical copies is lame

>>339518576
Not the case for Dark souls 3, yet PC players claim its the "definitive" version when literally the only positive they have is 60 fps
>>339518907
The thing is if the devs are worth a shit they will fix it, and once its fixed everyone will play fine because all consoles are identical, with PC some crash issues never get fixed because they only appear on certain hardware, the minority that uses that hardware gets fucked until they upgrade
>>339518732
I imagine they might be less necessary, though, since it's not enclosed and trapping heat in a case. Balances out, but you probably need less fans. Just a guess.

You can still use controllers, you can hook your PC to any amount of TV you want.
>For two PC community is complete garbage, full of neckbeard elitists, anime ERPers and hackers.
Wow, look at that hot opinion!
>For three I like not having to replace a CPU GPU constantly just to play new games. My consoles have cutting edge graphics for about 10 years before needing an upgrade thanks to games being optimized for them. Other than dumb graphicswhore games like Crysis, PC and console games have the exact same graphics other than resolution, which is rendered moot by the fact PC gamers play me on tiny ass monitors.
Consoles, cutting edge graphics and 10 years can't be mixed in the same sentence.
2/10 apply yourself
>>339516991
We're talking about current gen consoles. GC/PS2 era was fantastic, but it's only been downhill from there.
>>339488204
Look I've had a gaming quality PC for 9 years. At about 4 years I couldn't run the newest shit very well, and at 6 I couldn't run them at all.
Upgrading isn't feasible, and buying a new rig isn't feasible money wise, so I opted for a console. Cheaper, can still play the new multiplats, and the performance is never an issue.
Plus PC exclusives and steam in general have been on a decline in quality since then so it was just time. Gaming on the couch is also a nice change.
>>339519515
>You need to 'recode' a game to fix any possible issues
Huh
>>339519708
you are just proving his point
>>339518591
>You're the one shitposting if you genuinely believe there's no way for a PC game to have problems except through user error.
Yeah, it can happen, nobody is denying that. It can also happen on consoles.
But on PC at least 99.99% of times it IS user error. For long long time ago my friend asked me to fix his computer because his graphics were acting weird and slow. I took a look and noticed he had two different sets of graphic drivers installed which conflicted with eachother. Uninstalled both and reinstalled the newer ones. User error.
I have a pretty decent PC, but I prefer to play games on my PS4 because it's usually more convenient. At a certain point I just get tired of fiddling with settings to maximize performance (my OCD doesn't help) and installing drivers. I'd rather leave all the fiddling to the people who are payed to do so: the developers.
>>339490325
You can connect PC to your TV
Why the fuck do you care about community?

>>339520021
I like it when a solution to fixing a game on PC is "uninstall everything on your computer and deactivate your firewall/anti-virus CAUSE SOMETHING IS CONFLICTING maybe"
>>339520021
It happens way more on PC, lots of games release with crashing issues, but since it works on the newest hardware they never get fixed and people who try to save money by not upgrading have to deal with them

That's really not an argument. PC's work.
We also tend to save more money than you guys. I understand that you're gonna fight for what you have since you don't play on pc. PC Master Race is just a meme to remind you guys that no matter how you spin it, PC is the more reliable choice.
Maybe I'm just autistic or something but I like the customization of PC games. Full scale modding or even just post-processing effects like SweetFX/ENB. The feeling of cranking everything up on newer games just to see what it adds, or downsampling older games to 4k. So many different options for hardware, overclocking, watercooling and even crazy cooling stuff you see on Youtube. I can turn my fans quiet when I'm not pushing the hardware so it's basically silent. There's just so many things you can do besides just playing the game. yeah consoles have limited hardware modding sometimes, I remember me and my friends messed with an Xbox back in the day and installed a bunch of emulators. But still it's so limited.

I can guarantee that for the same price, if not less, than a console, you can buy a PC with shitty graphics but 60fps. Either with buying parts and giving them to a tech guy, or just a prebuilt
And considering you're playing on a console, you most likely don't care about graphics
