What are the best reasons to build a gaming PC?
>>342768802
resolution, framerate, being able to customize games to your liking, mods, using different input methods, not needing an extra device for gaming (everyone has a computer already anyways, so why not a gaymen machine?), cheaper games, tons of interesting freeware shit.
There´s probably more but I´m tired and can´t think clearly atm.
>>342769229
shit, I forgot emulation
The only reason to own a console is to play exclusives and with retarded friends who only play on consoles
It's simpler to just flip the question around
>>342768802
Video games.
>>342769229
Making your own content too.
Mods/level editors/game development platforms like Game Maker, Unity or Unreal engine.
Anybody ever try making levels in little big planet? Massive pain in the ass using a control to manipulate stuff.

PC gaming is not worth it, in fact it's only worth it if you like AAA multiplats and must run them at the highest settings and you are willing to fork out over $1000 to do it.
In my humble opinion, those games are not worth that kind of money, I don't even think there's been a AAA multiplat game released this generation with good gameplay....
PC's core and flagship games are surprisingly the most cost-effective video games there are, the core demographic and the overall userbase don't have $1000 PC's as such PC's main games can run on much, much cheaper hardware.
If you mean is a $100~$200 PC worth it, to play PC exclusives and for utility then yes, but the enthusiasts in my opinion who spend upwards of 1k on a rig are pissing money down the drain..

Consoles USED to have solid, concrete, legitimate advantages over PCs.
It's struck me as really odd though, how console makers seem hell-bent on eroding those advantages over time.
Once upon a time, consoles had the "ease of use" angle locked the fuck down. You'd pop a cartridge of Super Metroid into your SNES, turned it on, and within a few seconds you were in a fucking game! It was great! Meanwhile your friend would be stuck for half an hour swapping disks, installing Ultima Underground, and then that game would be awkward as fuck, and while it wasn't terrible, very, very few PC games of the time had the immediate and obvious appeal of console games of the same era. To my 7 year old self, Super Mario World was just, flat more fun than Commander Keen.
In the future space year 2016 though, we've got this weird bizzarro world going on, where console games take half an hour or longer to install, and the vast majority of the crowd pleasing, instantly fun, widely accessible games are either exclusively on PC, or the PC version is the best one (how many people are playing overwatch on PC right now compared to consoles, do you think?)
And that's not even getting into game availability and exclusives. If you told me 10 years ago that the best version of the newest Metal Gear Solid was on PC, or every Final Fantasy was available outside emulation, I'd slap you. But here we are.
Brave new world, man.

They still do, all PC gaming is 10 year old console ports while missing out on the best console games simultaneously.
The advantage consoles have over PC is video games. PC is just a more expensive console shoehorned by shitty multiplats.

We'd all be better off without proprietary hardware. Consoles hold back everything about the industry that should be moving forward. Step back from your fanboyism for a moment, and look at it objectively. Consoles are just locked-down, proprietary PCs. The brands needs to end.

Why even play video games if performance is so important? Just watch stress tests at 4k resolution over and over, there is literally no point in playing video games when you can max your hardware with benchmark tests.
I literally look down on a filthy pesant who insists to push the idea that he can actually ''''''''''enjoy''''''''''' video games on such dated hardware which I can run better. Console users are so stupid that they dont realize PC hardware fully outperforms it at any given moment.

For what purpose? PC has no games
>>342770962
I think you've summarized the evolution well.
The only thing I'd add is how cost effective PCs are now in comparison. It's totally possible to buy a comparable PC for the same cost of a console and then you can do a million other things besides gaming with your fully functional computer. And if I ever want a new game on console I'm going to have to shell out $60. On PC I have an enormous number of games I can buy for far cheaper or even for free (I mean actually free, not pirated.) Hell if I want to do online play on a console that's likely an added cost too.

>>342772876
>how much would it cost
Between 800 and 1000 for a GOOD PC. That's something that will play everything out there right now at max or very very near max settings.
You can skimp if you want, but building a PC is very much a "You get what you pay for" situation.
I paid very very slightly over 800 for mine a year and a half ago, it's a mini ITX build with an i5 4590, and it runs literally everything I've ever thrown at it to this day at 60FPS at max settings. You could probably by this exact PC for less today, but there are better options out there now, as far as sales and better tech goes. You'll want to do your homework.
TL:DR: the sweet spot for a good, cost efficient high-end PC is around 800-1000, but it's absolutely worth it.
You get the highest quality versions of multiplats and ports in most cases, and when a console generation dies the PC won't and will still be getting games from each generation, and it'll be getting games from all the competing consoles, rather than just having Xbox games or just having Playstation games as you would a console. Consequently, in the long run, its in a way cheaper than if you bought a console, as you will have a more limited supply of games and it'll eventually stop getting games for it.
I use my PC pretty much for multiplats and ports and I adore it.

>>342770962
I think it comes down to how accessible PC has become.
As you said, PC gaming was a chore in the past. Not to mention most people weren't going out and getting new parts for upgrades. Computers were still pretty niche, and you likely only got a part if you were fixing your computer.
Now that it's so easy and cheap to upgrade your computer whenever you want it's made computers more competitive against consoles. Consoles can't afford to have significantly lower graphics or more expensive hardware in order to avoid load times when PCs are almost the same price as consoles now.

This is exactly why its hard to take PC gamers seriously, when essentially console ports become the pivotal point of your gaming experience whats the point of even playing on PC? Why don't you just play on console where ALL the games you want to play art? Why limit yourself to 2 ports when you can have the full library on a console?

That's a double edged argument, though.
When the vast majority of games are available and largely identical regardless of platform, why WOULDN'T you choose the platform with the best framerate, graphics options, and resolution?
Not to mention seamless patching, instant support, free online functionality, and in the best cases, modding and community tools?

i7s are usually inefficient for gaming. Or at least they were. I don't actually know much about the landscape right this second.
I just picked the parts that were most cost efficient for the time that I bought them (forgot to mention I got a GTX970). If I did it all again today, I probably would pick up AMD's new card.
>>342774190
>the platform with the best framerate, graphics options, and resolution?
don't fall for the PC meme, most PC ports are shit.
>>342773816
>Why don't you just play on console where ALL the games you want to play art? Why limit yourself to 2 ports when you can have the full library on a console?
I believe I answered your question in my post. Generally speaking the PC version of these games is the highest quality version, and once a console dies out no new games are being released on it, while the PC will continuously get games from each generation. Sure a graphics card/processor might become dated, but it'll still be getting games that will play on it. And the PC gets games that are on Xbox, Playstation, and occasionally, Nintendo, while each console environment, disregarding multiplats, is often excluded to itself. For example, Scalebound is on Xbox One and PC. Megadimension Neptunia VII is on PS4 and PC. Sonic Lost World is on Wii U, 3DS, and PC. You aren't locked to one environment. That's why I game on PC, even though I mostly play multiplats and ports.
That said, I'm a slight idort. I am willing to get consoles and play on them if they are cheap enough. I have a Vita and 3DS, and may get a PS4 far into the future once the console has dropped to dirt cheap prices used.
>>342774190
>why WOULDN'T you choose the platform with the best framerate, graphics options, and resolution?
Why would I buy a console which gets all the games in the first place plus multiplats then build a $1000 PC on top of it just because 2 games randomly got ported so now I have to run that game at the highest settings possible.
PC's are not worth 2 console ports they get sadly. Only an idiot who likes console games waits for them on PC while missing out on its library.
It's well worth it if you have enough money to go all out with your parts. Otherwise it's more of a preference thing.

>TL;DR console exclusives
That's an argument that would've held water five years ago.
Today, Microsoft is actively porting every Xbox game to PC, and the PS4 has a negigible number of exclusive games, given its price tag. Like, I'm legitimately trying. I've been trying since the PS4 came out, honestly. I'm dying for a reason to buy one, but all it's got is Bloodborne, and soon The Last Guardian and maybe Gravity Rush 2, if that ends up being any good. But then, that's my tastes, and yours might differ.
The only console where "Exclusives" is still a legitimate point in its favor, at least in my eyes, is the WiiU, and I have one of those.

So in other words, the hardware your games are running on is literally more important than indulging in a full catalogue of games and you're willing to settle for 1 or 2 console ports just so you can play them on PC.
It's funny though, you can justify spending a premium on the latest GPU to play console ports yet find trouble buying a cheap PS4 to play the very games you want to play. Everything about how you play video games is self defeating. It's like you put fourth an effort just to make it harder for yourself to play and enjoy video games, a process that should be so simple.
Can I ask when you decided to place importance of hardware over video games?

I mean yeah, there are bad ports. The first two FFXIII games, FFVIII, and Tales of Symphonia are some. But I'd say most ports turn out decent to good.

>>342775185
>you're willing to settle for 1 or 2 console ports
I think you're VASTLY underestimating the exact number of multiplat games there are in the modern catalogue.
It's literally like 95% of every console's library.
You know how many games came out for the PS4 in 2015? 87. Do you know how many of those games were exclusive, and weren't HD re-releases of PS3 games? 3.

Same here, games don't age the same.

>>342776243
Not even remotely the same. Come on, man.
>>342776243
Xbone only gets 360 games that run at worse framerates and the same resolution at the originals. PS4 does the same thing except not PS3 games. get a gaming PC and almost every game before 2006 is at your disposal at whatever resolution you want
>>342771902
>>342772504
Yeah the third one expanded on creation massively.
Bumped the layer limit from 3 to 16, allow for things like 3d levels where you can freely run around an area and connected levels so people have done shit like make entire new rpg's and platformers and shit out of it.
>>342776243
So you need 3 different consoles to play old games?
And none of those can play games in 4k or whatever meme resolution you want. PC can.
>>342775185
Well no, you're not quite right about my intentions. If there wasn't a library of games I was interested in on PC, I wouldn't be playing on PC. For years I argued against the PC environment so many people pushed in favor of consoles since consoles got every game I liked and the PC had a very small library, an almost pathetic library in my eyes really. Around this time last year though, I noticed that things had changed; Hyperdimension Neptunia games were on PC, and Final Fantasy Type 0 HD, a game I so badly wanted to play but didn't have a PS4 for, was going to be on PC.(I have and have had for a while a PS3). I mostly play Japanese games. Seeing that the PC was finally starting to get a selection of Japanese titles made me think that maybe it was finally time to try out PC gaming. It was getting Vita games. It was getting PS4 games. I didn't know what a PSTV was at the time and didn't think dishing out $400 for a console that would eventually die sounded nice. And I couldn't justify doing so either; I'm going to college. But I needed a new PC anyways since I'm going into computer science, so I figured I might as well build a damn good PC anyways. So I built one, and now noticed that a significant portion of Japanese games are now heading to it at a very fast pace.
I PC game for the games, but consider its benefits to be how it runs those games. I don't like the idea of settling for less; Why should I watch anime on DVD when I can watch it on a bluray? If its available on PC, I'll grab it there.
Plus you ignored some of my argument; when a console dies and a new generation happens, games will stop being made for the previous generation. That's not a worry on PC, and that's directly related to video game libraries and the games themselves.
>>342775617

I'd like to go with one platform that plays 80%+ of all games, rather than multiple platforms that each play some random different set of games, and have to be bought and take up space separately.
>last gen
Ever heard of SweetFX? See, with a powerful enough PC, you can run 'last-gen' games at levels of visual quality rivaling current-gen games. Generations are a console concept, and really don't apply here.
Console game released for lower-res hardware (PS2, for instance)? Well, have fun playing it at that resolution forever unless the publisher decides to jew you with an 'HD' version.
Older PC games, and those same games emulated? Sure, let's run them at full HD modern resolutions, with antialiasing and other modern graphical goodies. No need to buy the same game again, even.Don't try this with sprite-based games. Looks like ass.

I...disagree. To say the least.
There's plenty of reason to assume, unless otherwise specified, that FF15 and KH3 are coming to PC, in which case yeah, I'll just wait for them. There's a good chance KH3 won't though. Wait and see.
The Last Guardian obviously is gonna be console exclusive though, in which case, yeah, I might buy a PS4 for it. I'm going to wait until I'm absolutely sure it's worth it though. The number of PC games coming out between now and then is more than sufficient to tide me over in the meantime.

>Why i5 and not i7?
The main difference between an i5 and an i7 is hyper-threading (HT). HT allows of the CPU to run multiple threads on a single physical core. Most games don't take advantage of HT, meaning that an i7 and an i5 will have similar gaming performance, while the i7 will cost more.

>Bloodborne
I admit, this is the game I keep thinking about buying a PS4 for.
>>342777627
>the main difference
I'll probably still build with an i7, because I do music/video shit that eats CPU.
I know emulation is CPU intensive, do any of the lately-updated emulators take advantage of hyper threading?
>>342776552
Alright, I understand your reasoning now and PC ports have increased up over the last 2 years but to me it's still a sign of dying industry and something that shouldn't technically be supported because it downplays the roles console play in the industry. I guess in circumstance its actually fine but people who adamantly rule out consoles including it's games on the basis of hardware alone irritates me, you seem top actually play console games because you enjoy them, not just to add it to your steam library as a collectible and to spite console users which many people do.
Also, I did ignore apart of your post about backwards compatibility, you are right and it is a bit of a concern, it's one of the advantages PC has that I wish consoles had. Do you personally think in the late future it's possible that Sony will set up a digital store front on PC? The idea of ps4/3 games being gone forever is worrying
>>342777896
>I'll probably still build with an i7, because I do music/video shit that eats CPU.
Yeah that is a good reason. Encoding and rendering programs will usually take as many threads as the CPU can give them.
>I know emulation is CPU intensive, do any of the lately-updated emulators take advantage of hyper threading?
Sorry I don't really follow emulator development. But if you are getting the i7 any way and they do, then bonus.

>Do you personally think in the late future it's possible that Sony will set up a digital store front on PC?
Not that anon, but, I don't think so as long as they are still in the hardware business. As long as Sony is making hardware, it is not in their best interests to allow potential customers to have an option to buy their games for a platform they get no revenue (hardware sales and PSN fees) from.
Things are changing rapidly, however, so I don't rule it out completely. Maybe they will decide that allowing PC users to join PSN will make them enough money.

Yeah, I guess people sometimes forget that if it weren't for the way the console market currently is, some games might not exist. Games like Bayonetta 2, for instance, where companies help fund games to promote their platform.
I wouldn't say PC ports are signs of a dying industry; moreso, its a sign that its possible for companies to revive sales of older games, or perhaps some companies see offering their games on more platforms as potentially profitable.
>Do you personally think in the late future it's possible that Sony will set up a digital store front on PC?
Maybe for really old PS1 and perhaps even PS2 games, but not anything more recent than that. And even then, I'd say its unlikely.
It'd be a drastic step for Sony to do so; it'd take away the appeal of the Playstation platform's backwards compatibility and/or emulation for many consumers.If Sony can make an older title work on newer hardware, they'd probably much prefer it being attached to their Playstation platform as an appeal for buying a Playstation.
If they were to decide that they think its more profitable to try selling these games on PC, they may do so, but it'd permanently affect the appeal of buying those older games on a Playstation, and it'd also make people feel like if they just wait long enough even 1st party Sony games will be on PC. They'd essentially be pulling what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, only at a much slower rate. Still, its only going to get harder and harder to keep remaking emulators and backwards compatibility options for newer consoles. They'll have to support more and more systems, and somewhere down the line they'll likely have to decide whether they want their games to die off completely or find some new way to keep old games alive.

Thanks for your input, it's helped opened my eyes a bit, in the end I just hope that Japanese games can continue to be profitable and being in the long run and that older ones aren't lost forever

All that plus the dying culture of console 3rd party exclusivity and critical performance issues because devs can't be assed to optimize shit for consoles, so you have those expensive boxes with very few games, besides western AAA tripe, that fuck you over at every turn. I adopted the buy when piracy hits policy since the PS3 and I don't regret it. Get it at least 3 years in with a sizeable library and discounted price, play the odd gem here and there, avoid severe issues with first models (for both consoles and controllers these days), don't get exploited through DLCs and minimize the chances of getting fucked over by hardware revisions, either small or PS4k tier. It also helps that multiplayer is complete garbage now with this disgusting """""""progression""""""" meme going on, so if online isn't available, I'm not even missing anything.

Its a decent game but its incredibly slow and many puzzles in it can be frustrating, having you constantly die and restart at the last checkpoint.

>spend thousand bucks or more on pc to emulate games on old consoles that could literally be bought for 20-30 bucks
You guys, I swear to god. How you got the money for a pc but have no sense I have no idea.
>>342785576
Because they simply have money to throw away.
>>342785576
>spend thousand bucks or more on pc to emulate games
Uh huh
>>342785576
That'd be as stupid as saying you bought a $599 box to play PS1 and PS2 games. Oh wait, you early adopters actually did that.

Calling it now, this cunt has no friends and needs the validation from other faggots on the Internet. Literally believes pc masterrace isn't a self depricating meme
>>342785576
Redead will actually be emulatable pretty soon. You can already run games like Dante's Inferno at full speed on Xenia.
This.
And all it cost me was 1200__dollars.
>>342785576
I didn't realize you could spend 20-30 on old consoles then have every old game in existance

Building a powerful PC doesn't limit you to using it for gaming. That's just the big usage we talk about on /v/

PC has the most local co-op games now, simply because most big budget developers don't give a fuck about splitscreen anymore. I went to my brother's to look at the ps3 and ps4 games he has and I was shocked at how almost nothing had local multiplayer.
