I can buy a PS4 for 300 bucks.
That build does not account keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, OS and speakers/or headphones...

I would even pull the "monitor" bullshit bc you can connect it to a TV.

I can match any triple A PC price on amazon or ebay, period.

You actually get free games for paying for live/ps+, that's pretty much what you're paying for.

Next cumbucket.

I can run every current game at max settings with my current build. My current build is as follows:

Windows 7
i7 4790k Devil's Canyon
Cooler Master Hyper blah blah
GTX 980ti
16 GB RAM
250GB SSD to run the OS off of
2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDDs that were left over from previous builds
some bullshit ASUS Mobo capable of 4k but I don't really use it
A really nice ASUS IPS 1080p 25 inch monitor can't be assed to recall the exact make

I have a DVD/CD Drive because I have a PS4 as a blu ray player, a Xbone controller for certain games, a LG G110 LED keyboard that I've had for years and a nice Corsair LED mouse. Obviously, this all cost a lot more than 300. Keep in mind that I had a Radeon HD 6850HD before I upgraded to the 980ti.

Money isn't an issue for me because I work hard. All of this was way more expensive than console gaming, but at the end of the day paying for Live/PS+ is still stupid if you actually want to own your games for keeps.

People just have OS copies laying around? Keyboards, mouses and mouse pads sitting on a shelf? You're saying that everyone in any first world country has these things!? Get the fuck outta here.

Steam users are the worst offenders, with the least attachment rate when it comes to game, the "hardcore" crowd on PC is 1.5 million people. The rest just buys games and never touches them.

That's nice deflection and all, but the point is no one is forcing you to spend money on shit you don't want on PC.
If you get shit you don't want on PC, it's because you intentional bought shit you don't want, and that's on you.

I see nothing wrong with what you wrote. You can actually play live games if you somehow stop paying for it. Same doesn't happen to PS+, but they will eventually change that. 50 bucks a year and you get over 60 games + triple A's for free? I'd do it if I didn't strictly played on PC.

Eh, yeah, but you can't even choose what games go "free".

Again, you're paying for a service that has a lot of features built in to it. Games is one of them.

It's a fair trade off. I'd rather have to pay that than to not be able to play used games on PC, or the forced steam DRM (don't come with that "you can play in offline mode" bullshit please. No platform is perfect, console plebs have to pay for online MP, big fucking deal. They get games and other shit

Idort here, you CAN buy a $400 PC that matches consoles, but that $400 PC will still shit itself every time a bad port happens, and as hardware gets more powerful and requirements get higher, it will end up being outdated way too fast.

The only people claiming a proper gaming PC is cheap are consolewarring retards who feel the need to shit on consoles. Buying a cheap PC is really just the best way to deny yourself some of PC gaming's advantages. Don't cheap out. $600 should be the baseline, and that doesn't consider how NA hardware prices tend to be lower than anywhere else.

Wouldn't people abuse that system and chose triple A's and shit? Moderation is the key. Sony and microsoft could have fucked them even worst, with no games, and no free app music and shit. On PC that's a given, we can just pirate and be done with it, but when you're 13 years old and all you have is a console and your PC knowledge is limited, having shit for "free" is a blessing, even if you can't chose what you get.

I wish I paid 50 bucks a year for 60+ games when I was a kid... I could barely afford a single fucking game a year lol...
I've also heard people saying that about the PS+ deal, that's retarded, but let's be real, they are paying for it. Companies aren't just giving out free games.

Weeb shit on PS4 is great, specially japan only releases since it's region free, I'll eventually buy a ps4 just for that.

I'm playing current games on my 6950 that I bought in 2011 with better FPS, resolution and looks overall, you're so full of bullshit. Even if hardware for pc does advance, long as you got something stronger than a console, you WILL ALWAYS run games better than consoles.

You're not wrong anon, but to me there is no value in paying 15 dollars a month for a randomized library. Can you understand that? You seem sensible enough.

I am a retro collector and a PC/Nintendo guy, and I'm pretty happy with that. I won't deny that Xbone has some games I'm interested in like Scalebound and Rare Replay checking out or that there are some PS4 games I haven't played such as The Last of Us, but as a guy that has access to over a thousand games both old and new I just don't see the point when my backlog is huge as it is. I will however be getting the Ratchet reboot day 1, because that shit is GOAT.

Basically, a guy like me with a huge ass library of games both physical and digital on PC sees no real value in a service like PS+ or Live.

You can actually get cheaper keyboards, with a mouse, that's not my point. My point is that you will have to waste money on it, why not just add 6 to 10 bucks on the build? Because the people that do this shit are disingenuous pieces of shit.

>You don't need a mouse pad.
Depends on the mouse. If you're going for a 6 bucks cheapo from china, yeah, you're going to need it.

>You can get an OS for free.
I can also get a ps4 for free, just have to kill someone. Don't bullshit me, let's pretend the person doing the build isn't a fucking disgusting pirate.

>And who the fuck doesn't have at least one pair of head phones somewhere? Not to mention if you DO use your TV as a monitor the speakers are included anyway.

And have you tried connecting your PC to a TV? It's garbage. If you have enough money to waste on a TV with decent speakers, which only TV's above 700 bucks come with, you have enough cash to bu ya better PC, and this 400 "build" argument is nonsense.

I remember having an 35300 OC to 3500 GHz and a 5750, rran Skyrim maxed out at 60 FPS in 1280x1024... MUCH MUCH better than any console at the time.

tried to run any cod game, ran like shit, Need for speed games? Not even on lows. Souls games? Ran like a snail. Gtav!? Didn't even launch.

Should I go on? Thankfully I have an i7 now ad a 780ti, which I plan on upgrading.

Shit has been getting better now, since these consoles are weak and the architecture is x86, developers are FORCED to optimize the code, and because of that PC ports are getting better and better. But it's not as good as you say it is.

i could go on forever master race, fact is you either cant play the above games because they are exclusive or because they wont run at a 400$ pc build.

You can cut the side off a cereal box and use that as a mouse pad, if the cost is enough to set you back. That's what I mean when I say you don't need to shell out money for a mouse pad.

>Don't bullshit me, let's pretend the person doing the build isn't a fucking disgusting pirate.

Then maybe they get linux or the steam OS. You know, to test the waters of PC gaming with before they fully dive into it? When I said free, I meant free.

>And have you tried connecting your PC to a TV?

Yes, I have.

>It's garbage

What makes you say so? I had no issues with it at all, and other than nitpicking about where you put your keyboard and mouse I honestly don't see what the fuck problem you could have with it.

>market share

For the same that mouse/keyboard does not magically appear on people's desks, they don't disappear either.

Dropping market share indicates that the market is saturated. Literally everyone and their mother has a PC right now.

At the same time, you conveniently assume that *everyone* has a TV which, for the exact same reason, would be a false assumption as well.

Make up your mind

Either insist that you need to add cost for peripherals for PCs AND a TV for consoles, or accept that scrapping parts is a valid option when building PCs and should be factored in somehow.

Like it or not, the current gen consoles are good value. They are much better for social gaming (the sort where you are actually in the same room), and there are some exclusives that are worth having (like Bloodborne)

To each it's own. We can't really like or be willing to pay for the same things right?

Ratchet is my favourite sony franchise ever, that's why I still like consoles, despite being a PC guy. We have to look at things on a broader perspective, not everyone is as fortunate as us. It seems really easy to just spare some cash month to month and buy a 1500 PC and run everything like a breeze, but when you're just a kid or going through school, it's just easier and cheaper to buy a console and play games with your friends. Specially if you're not a hardcore gamer.

I think TLOU to be overrated... but it's better than uncharted.

How many games do you still have to play?

I want to play all my childhood games again before I die, Already finished a lot of them, like Contra 3 alien wars, mario world, mario 64 (fav mario of all time), etc.

you could put together a PC that would crush the x1/ps4 for $620.if not for exclusives, I don't know why anyone would buy a console. you can't even use a mouse and keyboard, which makes certain genres just not work.

Almost everyone already owns a PC. I mean, how the fuck are you posting on here otherwise? The only diffrence from a normal PC and a "gaming" PC is one that has a videocard.

$150 videocard + probably a $50 PSU to support it, and magically you have a gaming platform.

>You can cut the side off a cereal box and use that as a mouse pad, if the cost is enough to set you back. That's what I mean when I say you don't need to shell out money for a mouse pad.

Ghetto solution with a terrible feel to it which will eventually render my experience a nightmare? No thanks. I personally don't use a mouse-pad, because my mahogany wood has enough texture to serve as a mouse pad, but not everyone is in my position. A cardboard box is terrible though.

>Then maybe they get linux or the steam OS.

You know very well Linux is harder to mess with than Windows, c'mon... I could talk with you about PC's all day long and even I don't know shit about linux (or want to).

>You know, to test the waters of PC gaming with before they fully dive into it? When I said free, I meant free.

>What makes you say so? I had no issues with it at all, and other than nitpicking about where you put your keyboard and mouse I honestly don't see what the fuck problem you could have with it.

I dunno, maybe my TV only does 60 HZs, the input lag, the distance and angle, or are you proposing in using a big table to have it right next to you? And the godawful audio. I prefer my monitor thanks.

of course it is an option but if we are talking about 300$ budged rig which is on par with ps4 then it has to have windows installed because there is no way it could be on par with ps4 using linux based systems where games are unoptimized as fuck and that was my complaint because you have to include price of windows - it would be possible to build pc on par/slightly better for 400-450$ but no way you can do this with 300$ budget unless you pirate os

>>
>>320608564

Any flat piece of shit can be a mouse pad. If you don't like cardboard then use something else. It's not really rocket science.

I don't use it either, but how "hard" it is to use has nothing to do with the price. It's still a free alternative if you don't want to pirate.

I don't see how the TV refresh rate and audio quality being lower is an issue when it's the same shit consoles would be using. Distance isn't really a problem, you can set your tower next to the TV like you would a console anyway. I have no idea why you would need a "big table". Most people I know have coffee tables between their TV and couch anyway, but I know thats not the case for everyone.

It's really not that strange for people to give shit away. I've given my friends entire computers. You can be on good terms with co-workers, and yes, I have gotten shit for free from them as well. It's really not that far fetched or "hypothetical" at all.

>>320609267
But are you factoring in the fact that you need a tv with the console?
>>
Alright, I'm going to try looking at this with no bias.

Let's assume the person wanting a platform for gaming has a shitty PC, and an average TV by today's standards (I'm not really sure what that would be, most people around here have at least 30-50" LCD/LED TVs, so I guess I'll go with that).
Also going to assume they have free internet, just for the sake of it. Otherwise I'm gonna have to consider internet pricing in most areas and honestly, fuck that.

>Buy a PS4 for £300
>buy PS+ for £40 (?)
>already have a TV
>£340
You're set from there. Most games perform alright, I'm not gonna pretend they run brilliantly or always run like shit. There's no upkeep.


>Build a PC for £300
You're set from there, assuming they use the shitty PC's monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse. I'm going to go ahead and say the OS is part of that, or a free alternative.
Realistically, you wouldn't want some old keyboard, mouse and monitor. So
>£5 for a new mouse
>£5 for a new keyboard
>a used monitor for about £40
£350
The performance here will likely be better than the PS4's, because of your ability to change shit around to suit your liking. There's upkeep.

If either one of these situations has the person waiting for sales, the PC is the better choice. The real difference is in how much you're willing to do, though. If you can't be bothered to do anything, and will settle for what you're given, then obviously the PS4 is the better pick. If you're willing to do something, then the PC is definitely the better choice, considering the larger library size.
That said, if you're playing more AAA games more than anything, you're better off going with the PS4.

I would argue that drm-free is the digital concept of used games nowadays, if you bought it its yours forever and thats something u cannot do on a console.

But what happens with your digitals when u no longer have a ps3 or the psn dies?

Someone correct if I'm wrong. But aren't those "free" ps+ games only available to you if you continue paying for the subscription?

You can't ignore the fact that ps+ is a subscription, and every year after that the ps4 will get more expensive than tyour £350 pc.
If I had paid $50 a year on my ps3 I'd be down an extra $400 on a fucking dinosaur, fuck that noise.
>>
>>320603950
Im a 'pc gamer', whatever that means, but pc gaming is much more expensive. A ps4 is like 200$ + 150 for an hdtv. A gaming pc can cost into the 1000$ range without monitor and periphs. You get the same shit games that run like ass cause of lazy optimization.

If youre smart just get a 200$ thinkpad for the indie pc shit + ps4 for AAA titles.

Wow, guess what? This is the same thing that happens to consoles. It's why GTA5 looks like aliased trash on the ps3 and 360 and struggles to run at 60 frames
. Your console doesn't magically update with better hardware as time goes on. At least with a PC you have the option of upgrading if you're not satisfied with your current visuals and performance.

I found the 1TB PS4 £299.75. I rounded up and excluded shipping fees. I'm fairly certain this is the build, and you can definitely find all of those parts for under £300. The case, without the keyboard and mouse certainly keeps it under that price. There's alternate builds that may even outperform this for roughly £270~.
When I first found the parts, it was a lot cheaper because of sales at the time. So if your timing is right, you're gonna save a bunch. Not that the same can't be said for the PS4, but at that time the PS4 wasn't £300 for the 1TB bundle.
I'm pretty sure all my pricing is right though, just takes some looking around.

You can just finish up those games during that month. Let's say you have both PS3 and PS4, that's 28 games for ~40€ during that year, it's not bad value at all.

As for Live, you can keep on playing the games even after Gold expires.

After around 3 years, Devs had claimed to get everything they could out of the 360's CPU, but it had a fantastic GPU which incorporated technology that PC wouldn't get for years until Microsoft incorporated it into DX10. Devs acknowledged the PS3 having a fantastic CPU but bitched about how difficult it was to utilise, but it had a meh GPU.

Chief complaint after around 3-4 years was the 512MB of memory. (256mb+256mb on PS3).

Which at the time, 512mb of memory was a decent amount, the complaints were because the consoles hung on for much longer than normal.

Always felt that the main decider is time you'll use it for, cause the cheaper games might not account for the cost of the rig if you don't play that many games, but if you play a lot of games and go back to some regardless of time or platform, then it's cheaper.

Basically if it's just CoD and Madden then a console is better price-wise than a good PC, but if you're like a lot of us and play tons of games of varying age then a PC is way better.

And god forbids that you buy a tv thats 4k or can pull something else than 60hz (not like consoles can do anything with a higher refresh rate anyways) cause its going to cost you a fucking fortune.

I've been playing a mix of retro - modern games

this year was entire tomb raider franchise from oldest to newest, fallout from 1 to NV, MGS series, Contra series, donkey kong country 1&2, metroid series, Half life and portal, metro 2033 and LL, Starcraft until HoTS, right now Im going through dune snd command and conquer series to name a few.

Some old games hold up amazingly well and some oldies i hadnt played before and was surprised, specially fallout, no wonder about the dumbing down rants

I use a $15 K120 keyboard and a shitty insignia mouse that I found after cleaning the closet of my dead father.

You need a TV/Monitor for either a PC or Console. So decide if you want a $600 living room TV or a $130 ASUS monitor. Your still PAYING for service to get online. So technically you still are paying for games. But I buy games on steam only twice a year. (Summer and Winter sales)

Isn't a main positive of a PC is that your games never go obsolete? Like, you can go back and play shit from 2004 with the same machine that can play this year's releases.

well I dont have any numbers but I think that majority of the pc users buy their games from the steam. also a lot of games make far more profit when on sale than they normally would just because how many people cant resist the urge to skip a good deal. steam has big sales like 4 times a year so its not hard to buy games only during sales.

I only checked there because I have a coupon/gift card/discount thing for Gamestop for $40.

I'm probably still going to buy it from there since it'll be $20, like $10-20 cheaper than anywhere else, but I'll wait till Christmas sales start

The music industry cried for decades "wuuuuahhhh piracy is rampant we don't make any money now we ded wuuuahhh" and still it grew with every year bigger and bigger to the point where musicians/labels are higher paid than gods. Then the movie industry goes "wuuuuahhh everyone can copy our shit with a video-recorder we dont make any monies now wuuuuah" but still it grew every year more and more and movies/actors are better paid than the galactic overlords.
Then the video-game industry ....

I think I made my point. They try to guilt trip you into believing that. They try to guilt trip you into caring for THEIR wallets and not your own,
Succesfully obviously. You are a bred and fed consumer shill zombie.

>Face is two feet away from a 20-30" monitor rather than 10 feet from an 80" screen

Literally the ideal way to experience the full detail of a game. 4k resolution is practically useless when your eyes are 10-15 feet away from even an 80 inch screen, unless you have eagle vision. Field of view is more important than size.

Erm yes I can, at least the parts that could actually go as an argument.

>Sit at a desk (yes, like an office desk) to play games
First off no that's wrong, you don't "have" to do that at all. Same as you don't have to use mouse/kb if you don't want to.
Second of all playing in this position maximizes your concentration and muscle remembering, that's why people do it, son. Not because its in the manual of your PC but because it's actually the best way to seriously play.
>Face is two feet away from a 20-30" monitor rather than 10 feet from an 80" screen
That's also a good thing, see above
>Uses a literal keyboard to play games
Again not necessarily at all, but then again it has pretty much infinite buttons which are utilized for more complex vidya, something thumb wiggling autoaim cowboys know nothing off.

The rest I can't even take a little serious.
>>
This same thread since 06 with increasingly more defensive console turds with the same outcome every time.
Barebone PC's for illiterates get BTFO.

At some point the industry will realize that these "consoles" are done, and there will only be PC's left. It will be a mixture of entertainment systems, but certainly not a console of some sorts.

I'll never go back to consoles after sony cucked me out of like 3 games and a couple DLC's for Socom after the HACK. It's more expensive to play shit on consoles tbqh and the fact that you're getting C U C K E D so hard with 30 fps, engine limitations, no access to mods just makes the choice between pc and console that much easier
