i won't be able to run OR. i'm not really sold on VR at all but PM is the only version i'd even consider. i'd never buy an $800 computer just for the opportunity to buy an expensive periphial i doubt i'll care for.

a 800$ gaming PC makes a lot of fun even without VR^^

a $400 console makes twice the fun at half the cost and four times the convience.   not exactly bashing pc here but i hate the platform compared to console.

pc is cheaper, you can play more genres, like rts or fps,  you can mod games, you can stream games every screen in the house without problems.

Not cheaper, specialy for what the master race brags with. Not even building something that can handle the same as a ps4 is cheaper. All the ps4 resourses are meant for gaming, while a pc will never be just a gaming machine, no matter if you use it as such.

It does have more games. Gets them really late sometimes, like 2 years after gta 5 and a hundred diferent petitions. Cant beat over 30 years of backwards compatabiliity. One of my favorite games is still diablo 2 wich I still play.

Moding a game is something you do after you are bored of the game. Not something everyone is interested in. A good game does not need to be moded.

Stream can be done with consoles too. Not that we would need to anyways since its  usualy pluged to the big scream to begin with.

STill much more convinient to have a console. No worries that it will be outdated gpu or cpu or need more ram. Any game I buy in 3-4 years in the future will still work without any need to upgrade as long as it releases for the console.

Also not bashing PC here, jsut tired of hearing this pc vs console crap, they are both good and have advantages over the other.
