PC gaming is pretty dreadful unless you invest A LOT of time and money into it

^I am so tired of this myth.

Not as tiring as the myth where a PC built at a similar price to a console will beat it on graphics throughout the gen.

Therefore Kane is correct. PC gaming is dreadful unless you do invest money into it.

I'm pretty sure that myth happens only because of misinterpretations. I can't believe anyone would suggest what you're saying. That said, if you buy a lot of games, it could be true (considering total cost, and not just equipment cost).


So do you believe a PC is capable of similar graphics to a console at a similar price, or do you agree with kane that it requires an investment to achieve the extra graphics over consoles which PC gamers boast about?

It doesnt happen because of misinterpretations, it happens because PC gamers are vague about their comments. they either say

1) gaming PC's cant be built for as much as a console (which I agree with, but doesnt paint the whole picture)

or

2) gaming PC's perform better than consoles. (which I agree with, but doesnt paint the whole picture)

for 1) they never say that PC will perform worse than a console and for 2) they never say the extra investment required to achieve that extra performance.

Why don't you just stop it with the sweeping generalizations?  The "PC Master Race" people are retards.  However it often isn't much more to build an equivalent PC, but again it depends on the console.  Some consoles like the PS4 offer FAR more value for the price than others...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
