It's more convenient for me and consoles are collectible. I don't think many people collect old pc parts. I have a $650 laptop that has no disc drive and can hardly play 5 year old games at 30fps. Its fast for a i5 but the built in Gpu is shit. I know that doesn't compare to a tower where you can put in two gtx 980s in sli but I need a good laptop for work. I guess I'm saying I will stick to console for gaming and pc for work. I also prefer the Ui on ps4. The Ui on xbone and pc is more of a toss up. Kinda like I prefer android to Apple os. I own at least one of every platform I mentioned. |
I'm kinda in the same boat. I spend too much initially and then there's always that nagging feeling there is something better once the next gpu comes out. And even while playing I go back to the settings frequently, maybe a bit more fps, maybe a bit more anti aliasing, not even settling for high settings but going into ini files to tweak fov and draw distance beyond the maximum.
On consoles I don't pay attention to fps drops, can't do anything about it anyway. On PC I start thinking what I can do to 'solve' it. I game on my laptop now, can't upgrade it so at least I'm not browsing for gpu's all the time. It's an i7 4700mq, 16gb ram with a gt740m so pretty decent for most games. Cost a lot more than a console though but it is multi purpose too.
In the end it's a different experience. Playing on PC is like going on holiday in the office. Sure that comference room is very comfortable and all those high end projectors are fun to play with. But it doesn't feel as relaxing as that crappy cottage on that windy lake.
It doesn't matter what you game on, there are so many games nowadays, any system has plenty to offer to keep you busy.
