Pc doesn't convince me yet, as we still see the same graphical errors present in consoles only at higher framerates. Pop up on detail that is a few meters away. I still have yet to see something truly breathtaking on PC.
There will be some kind of workaround if Steam dies. Like emulating the client or something.I'll come out right and say it. PC has far better games . No true RTS or CRPGS on consoles alone is enough to make me back out. Only recently have they started to port good CRPGS to console and playing them like that is such a drag. Not to mention having my entire library online for easy access and if you wanna say "what happens when steam dies and you lose all your games hurrr durr", I'll most likely be dead by the time those servers shut down.
BMW drivers are the biggest twats alongside Tesla drivers though, and that's coming from someone who drove a E36 M3 for years.People like to drive cars, some ok with a Toyota others want a BMW.
You can share your pc library most of the time tho. On GOG its even possible to use a single copy to play over LAN in your house assuming the game supports LAN features.You can share console disc games. That is something that wins out over PCs.
Frankly i think you're searching for the wrong mods. mods are way more than just nude mods and OP weapons, most mods i think of are total conversions, or essentially free fan made DLC like in the case of Doom the golden souls, or GMod stuff.I am a pc gamer my whole life but mods have never played that huge role for me. Sure I try mods here and there but I usually just toy around for 15 minutes and that's that.
Adding on to this, my friends and I have all shared our steam libraries with each other. If you wanna play something you don't own just open the game and unplug your ethernet cable, works like a charm.You can share your pc library most of the time tho.

I bought a second hand gaming laptop that originally sold for $2500 about 4 years ago for $500.Nah, that's a bit extreme. Demand for PC parts is still high and even the used market is getting fairly high prices. My 2080 Super from 2019 is worth about half what I paid for it new. A $3000 rig is the high end and will retain a lot of value for quite some time. Certainly not going to lose 70-75% of its value in two years.
Isn't the current experience, putting a disk in, installing to HDD/SDD, even like 20ish minutes on the super duper SSD, patching and then playing?I just want to put in a disk, unfortunately download a 30 gig patch and play.
I remember messing with mouse drivers and tinkering fucking everything to get it just right for Doom, Quake, Chasm, etc and yes it is MUCH better now but it’s just not for me.
Yeah, you should have. Once I contracted SUPER AIDS form you mother it was all oger.I remember hurting my dick like really bad while fucking a girl. I guess i should have stopped sex right there and then.
Based on the OP’s premise, they are also going through issues they need to figure out.I'm really trying to figure out the point of this thread, lmao.
You can easily share your entire library on pc.You can share console disc games. That is something that wins out over PCs.
Microsoft did try to squash that.
Yeah. I will have to check into that. Never done it.You can easily share your entire library on pc.
These threads are all the fucking same over and over and over. PC Mustard Race not possibly understanding how somebody could ever prefer something other than a PC and acting better then everybody else, and the console people saying the same shit over and over again and acting like they are better than everybody else.
Both sides are annoying as fuck. Just play games where you want to play games and stop caring where other people play their games. It doesn't affect you.
I think strategy games are boring as fuck, but that doesn't mean other people can't and won't enjoy them.
Why would OP be banned?

I definitely understand the enhancements a gaming PC gives but the last thing I ever want to do is fuck with settings, drivers, different storefronts, etc.

This is making a pretty broad generalization but for me gaming PCs are a young man’s game.

Happy to finally mostly get 60 FPS on PS5.
How did i miss that?OP not banned and thread still open. Yet my thread about GRan Turismo getting replaced by the FIA was closed which was actual news.

Or just save gas and share digital PC libraries because it’s not 2013 anymore.
Satire threads are embraced. They tend to have a lot of gold gifting.OP not banned and thread still open. Yet my thread about GRan Turismo getting replaced by the FIA was closed which was actual news.
PS+ Premium is nice, people are totally sleeping on it. But I only payed $120 to have the service until mid 2024, by stacking PS Now, so I kinda dodged some negativity that way I guess. Not sure what I would think about the service with standard price.If anything I feel sad for the people forking 120$ to Sony just for some PS1 games that you probably already owned and old games that 70% of the time you are not even interested in. Just so u can play online. MS isn't better here mind u, but at least the game pass is actually worth it when they have big hits coming ( like having cheap game pass by the end of the year for 3 months or so when they have big hits ) but Sony ? Absolute joke and just a scam.

Maybe laptops depreciate faster than stand alone GPUs.
Only 80tb? I’d call that volume one.My pc has a raid array of 80 tb of fully redundant storage that 98% midget porn

I know you can do that on Steam, but doing so prevents more than one person from accessing the library at a time. Are there other ways of sharing?
Loaning a game disc to a friend prevents you from accessing your game as well lol.
I’ve never done the family sharing on Steam, but considering you can play games offline - that may not be an issue?
By loaning a game disc you lose access to that one game, not your entire game library like you do with Steam. I think you have to be online for the sharing to even work.
There was a thread for it before but people don't like doing it in a dedicated thread. It wasn't very popularI've said a few times I would love a dedicated console war thread/section. Just no racism or sexist stuff but just a no holds barred banter sesh with maybe a touch of actual discussion. Like I have with my footy mates ripping each other and winding each other up. Would be great.
I’m not sure of the details. I can’t imagine you lose access to your entire library if someone’s playing one of your games. Maybe you’re right - I don’t know, but now I’m curious.
(I'm going to regret touching this one ). I could write a book on the topic of PC vs Consoles for gaming and their corresponding experiences....but ultimately it's a matter of preference so I digress.
Some perspective though:
There was a time in the late 1990s/early 2000s where if you were a gamer it made absolutely sense to have a "high end" gaming PC. There were a number of "A-AAA" level games that were exclusive to PC or targeting PC as lead platform that warranted such a purchase. Being console only could result in you legitimately missing out on some killer games/franchises. Games like Doom, Quake, Unreal, Starcraft, Battlefiled, Call of Duty, Warcraft, Half Life, Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate and many others fall into this list. Not having a PC meant you would completely miss out on these franchises or have much diminished versions of those games on consoles of the time. Key point here is that these were full A-AAA tier games that often pushed the PC platform in a way that was far beyond what a console could deliver. However, THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH PCs TODAY. That era effectively ended with the release of the original Crysis (Crysis 2 was downgraded in many ways to be portable to consoles).
Frankly, A-AAA games that are PC exclusive or leads today are virtually non-existent. With all the constant talk about the technical superiority of the PC, the irony is that VAST majority of current PC exclusives do not push the technical envelop and do not require high specs to play. A quick browse on the steam store will display a ton of tiles made by small teams with simple or even retro graphical styles that can run fine on even a PS4 level spec nevermind PS5. The most played games on Steam remain games built on older engines that run exceedingly well on even a PC from 5 years ago (Counter Strike, Dota 2, PUBG, Apex, GTA V etc). For the games that are A-AAA, nearly all of them at this point are console lead developed, cross-gen engines with Xbox One/PS4 level spec (or older) in mind. That said, the quality delta between a PS5/Series X and a high end PC today is still much smaller than it was ~20 years ago. Other than accelerated performance in terms of frame rate and some slightly lower settings that are often not even noticeable aside from direct A/B comparisons, the console sku of games are virtually identical in design and content to PC skus and are perfectly intact renditions of the developers' original vision. Now compare that to what the delta would have looked like back in 2000: console skus would be missing content due to memory constraints (fewer levels, smaller worlds, fewer characters, less weapons/items, completely different UI due to input differences, often missing or limited online, and graphics that absolutely paled in comparison to high end PCs in every respect (we're talking what would now be called a generational gap). And not just pixel counts and framerates. We're talking lighting, textures, geometry, shading, and IQ all being in a completely different league. Case in point:
Unreal Tournament PC
Unreal Tournament PS2
And this is from one of the most praised PC ports on PS2 at the time
