I'm thinking of picking up a Xbox One for Gears 4 and Halo MCC and Halo 5. I also want Bloodborne on PS4.

However, I can only afford one console. I have a Ps3 currently, playing mgsv on it, the fps kills me.

You seem pretty retarded. Consoles are singular platforms. Developers can optimize for them a lot easier than the multitude of PC hardware. a 750ti is a terrible choice. In a perfect world it would run all games the same or better than consoles, but it won't. Even Carmack says this.

You could play Gears Ultimate, Dark Souls I-III, and Wolfenstein, Doom, Metro, Stalker, Crysis, etc all on a couch with a controller

We don't, anon. Look at all the terribly optimized games on PC recently. Here's an experiment for you, try to run Crysis 3 on a PC with the hardware of an xbox 360 and see how it turns out.

>>320726695
It depends on the amount of exclusives you like. Both PS4 and Xbox One have good exclusives. Halo on XB1, and Uncharted on PS4. But if you already have a PS3, I'd suggest getting a PS4. It's a smooth transition, and It's the best for multi-plats.
>>
>>320726874
I'd rather have a dedicated console so I don't have to install crap all over this PC. Also, exclusives :/
>>
>>320726045
PS4 or XB1 still cheaper
>>
>>320727316
If you do plan on getting an XB1, MCC is still broken. It's search times are extremely slow, and 343 isn't paying attention to it anymore because Halo 5 came out. Although, Halo 5's dedicated servers are really good.
>>
>>320727316
>so I don't have to install crap all over this PC
I literally do not know what you are talking about
>exclusives
right, because halo 5 and uncharted are better than decades of games not on current gen systems
>>320727343
not for what you get
when you get that you have a machine capable of playing literally thousands of games. It's also upgradable. Save the money you'd be spending on bullshit online like xbox live or PSN and upgrade your GPU. Save the money you'd save on sales for pc games which can be 20-50% off even for a day one copy.
So say in a year you save $100 and sell your old GPU for $75. For only $25 more you could get a $200 GPU and if you aren't retarded you've gotten a component that will double your performance
>>
If you wanna play fun shit, go Xbox
If you wanna play weeb shit and shitpost on /v/, go PS4
>>
>>320727631
Some people just want a simple console to play on bro. Including OP. I know PC gaming's good, but the simplicity of owning a console to play games/exclusives is what a lot of people want.
>>
>muh exclusives :/
PC has exclusives too, retard. But if you really care that much about "cinematic" third person shooters then whatever.
>>
>>320727649
>PS4 doesn't have fun exclusive's, and all the multi-plats XB1 has.

Even Black Ops III has early DLC on PS4 now. It's the most casual console for dudebros. But I have an XB1 it's still cool for Halo.
>>
>>320727808
It is literally 0% more difficult, is cheaper overall, gives you more freedom and more games, etc etc

I quite literally cannot understand the slave mentality that so many of you have regarding these consoles.
>>
>>320727978
Updating/checking if game's work on your PC. Updating your PC's hardware every few years. Costs 1000 bucks for a gaming PC and that's not even the best one. If you want to build one, that takes skill, even if it's cheaper. For a console, you buy it, you plug it in, you play it. That's all.
>>
>>320728160
>Updating/checking if game's work on your PC
you do realize that its the same shit as consoles? Buy game. Install. Play. That's literally it
>Updating your PC's hardware every few years
completely optional. Also, unless you are genuinely stupid, this is a plus, not a minus
>Costs 1000 bucks for a gaming PC and that's not even the best one
Everything you believe about this is a lie
>If you want to build one, that takes skill
quite literally not true. The "legos for grown-ups" meme is real. If you have time to play video games you have time to build a computer

>For a console, you buy it, you plug it in, you play it. That's all.
For a PC you buy the parts, put it together, install Steam, that's all

m8 the whole point of the build is that it's garbage. It's meant to compete with the lowest price point possible

the only other option would be to get a used thinkpad and fanangle an egpu setup
>>
>>320728714
Although for console's it's 100% that the game will work. It isn't optional considering you have to keep up with new games coming out. Overall it's still more complicated to buy and play a PC than it is for a console.

Ignore those posts, I posted a few times about consoles read those. In summary, PS3 to PS4's a smooth transition, and is the best for multi-platform games. As for exclusives, both consoles have good ones. MCC has slow matchmaking times, but Halo 5 has good dedicated servers. Gears 4 also looks cool. Uncharted 4 looks nice too. It depends on your preference but considering you have a PS3, I'd say get a PS4. Best in the long run.
>>
>>320729937

I mean true, but it still matches consoles

Also, keep your PS3, PS Now sucks.
>>
>>320729727
>It isn't true that you have to keep upgrading your PC when it gets outdated, in order to play new games?
No. Unless you wanna play new games at higher FPS or have more graphical effects
>Building your own PC is easier than buying a single machine and plugging it in?
It's only marginally more difficult. 3 hours for a one time setup. When either machine will last you 3-4 years that is literally nothing. It's 1/8 of a single day
>>
>>320729727
>It isn't true that you have to keep upgrading your PC when it gets outdated, in order to play new games?
It isn't true when you actually invest in your PC. When you buy one of these shitty cheap builds, expect to have to change stuff up in ~2 years.

>Building your own PC is easier than buying a single machine and plugging it in?
It's not easier but it's still very very easy.
>>
>>320730183

It outdoes consoles on most multiplats but pathetically so

Like 7-10 fps more
>>
>>320730657
yeah, but for the same price and the fact that its not a corporate owned box that's an infinitely better value

OP, if you're absolutely going to get a console for whatever reason, you're probably better off getting the PS4 unless you REALLY like the exclusive games the XBox has on it.

that being said, i wanna weigh in on this little sub-topic going on in this thread, about console vs. PC. to the one guy saying that consoles are simpler to use than PCs: that's fucking wrong, and has been for ages. back when i was a little kid and i played games on Sega Genesis and then all the way up to PS2/XBox era, that was true. it's not anymore, though; the PS3 and XBox 360 were truncated PCs with dedicated hardware, but you still had to deal with all the bullshit of booting it up, logging in, updating, installing (on many PS3 titles, this was mandatory for a while), updating the game, dealing with in-game dev- or publisher-run account features--all the shit you have on a PC that renders it more "complex" than early consoles, only on piece of shit hardware with poor UIs.

one of my brothers has a PC that me and my other brother bought for him, because none of us wanted to buy into the current generation of consoles. he plays it in his living room, on his big-screen TV, with a controller. for browsing the Internet and general use of the PC outside of gaming, we got him a lightweight, wireless keyboard with a trackpad attached to it so he doesn't even have to fiddle around with having a mouse on a table nearby; he just keeps the keyboard close at hand and perches it on his lap when necessary. this is a guy who's NEVER owned a PC in his life, and to my knowledge hasn't even used one in years, outside of very limited use in specific programs at work. now, he's installing games, updating programs, getting drivers, tweaking performance settings, all that stuff, and never complains about a damn thing because, as he's said, it's no more or less irritating than having to do basically the same stuff he had to do on the XBox 360, plus now he has more control over the system.
>>
>>320730540
Yeah, 3 hours if you know what you're doing. Most people don't know how to do stuff like that. Yes, you're going to have to upgrade your PC eventually to even run new games at the game's standard state. You can't keep your PC the same forever, you're going to have to change some parts eventually.
>>320730570
Well those shitty cheap builds are most likely a bit more expensive than a console. Every 2 years is worse than a console generation. A good build is the price of probably 4 PS4's put together. People don't have that money for games. It's only easy if you know what you're doing and are experienced in building PC's.
>>
>>320730910
>Yeah, 3 hours if you know what you're doing
1 hour if you know what you're doing. I put in the extra 2 hours for how long it'd take to watch a youtube video and pause for each step
>>
>>320730910
>You can't keep your PC the same forever, you're going to have to change some parts eventually.
Quite literally untrue

There will never be a point where the average console game significantly outperforms a 750ti (as in console runs 30fps solid, 750ti has 25fps average)

that day will never come
>>
>>320730851
It might be less irritating personally for your brother, but the console does the work for you. For PC, you have to do it all yourself. Getting drivers, tweaking performance settings.
>>
>>320730995
>>320731151
I'm not talking about a console outperforming a "750ti". I'm saying you're gonna have to upgrade your PC eventually to run new games, released for PC even, and their standard state.
>>
>>320730910
Building PCs is just easy, period. Unless you start going into complex setups with multiple graphic cards, liquid cooling, small as fuck cases, and so on.

>>320731151
This is not really true though, proper optimization can make a difference. This already happened with late 7th gen games.
>>
>>320731549
at their standard state*

A PC from '05 most likely can't run Arkham Knight.
>>
>>320731410
>For PC, you have to do it all yourself. Getting drivers, tweaking performance settings.
Drivers update exactly the same as ps4/xbone system updates

every single pc game ever released has autodetect settings
even drivers now have automatic setting
>>320731549
I'm not sure what you're saying. You mean you will have to upgrade eventually? Yeah, duh. Same reason you'd have to get a new console for next gen games
What I'm saying is a PC that outperforms consoles now always will
>>320731639
>This already happened with late 7th gen games.
That's a meme though. Late 7th gen multiplats ran like garbage with Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 dipping to the low 20fps often
>>
>I want an xbox one for two rehashes and an HD collection, and a ps4 for one rehash
fucking kill me 8th gen sucks
>>
>>320731768
Yeah, just like a console generation. Except a good PC costs more than a thousand bucks. And a console generation costs 350.
>>
>>320731949
>Except a good PC costs more than a thousand bucks. And a console generation costs 350.

>>
>>320731768
>That's a meme though. Late 7th gen multiplats ran like garbage with Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 dipping to the low 20fps often
I'm sorry but no, it's not. Those multiplats didn't run WELL, but they ran better than on an "early 7th gen 750 Ti-equivalent" (which would have been... an 8600 GT? Can't remember). Ignoring some games just wouldn't work at all, with the DX11 switch and all that.
>>
>>320732159
I don't even know what you're saying at this point. It's like you're regurgitating talking points that an MS exec would say to middle schoolers to brainwash them

>>320732334
I'm saying exactly what I wrote. You have to physically replace parts in your machine, unlike a console.

MCC still sucks just so you know. Menus are sluggish and glitchy, matchmaking takes an eternity, and you still get booted back to the matchmaking menu after a match instead of staying in the lobby with your previous group. Dunno if custom games and co-op are still fucked, all of my friends stopped playing it months ago. Singleplayer's fine though.
>>
>>320725313
Sounds like an Xbone will do you better, based on what you listed.

I dunno if Dark Souls 3 will scratch the itch for Bloodborne, it looks like it inherited some of the movement from it.
