| firebush03 said: IMO PC has far FAR more bang for its buck than something like a PS5. Windows has an Xbox Mode, meaning that right off the bat you’ve already saved $700USD. And then there’s ease of emulation, free online, a massive supply of cloud storage for save data (which isn’t tied to ToS of a games provider… meaning far less liklihood of losing all your save data and/or ROM/ISO files), universal backwards compatibility with QoL enhancements such as 244FPS 1440p, realistic CRT filters (so no need for a CRT), cheap Steam releases, as well as…erm…free access to really any game from any system released prior to 2020, AND it makes life significantly easier. As somebody who frequently uses my PC for studies/work, I cannot even begin to express how convenient it is to not have my PC overheating and crashing with more than two tabs open at a given time lol. |
Does PC come with extra time to play? :p
As you get older you'll realize that time is the limiting factor, not bang for buck. Consoles are simply still faster to get in the game and less maintenance than PC. I can be playing a new VR game in 30 seconds from turning the PS5 on. Digitally buy it on my laptop, set it to download and it's ready to play by the time I turn the ps5 on.
But sure when you get really invested in a game then PC offers unlimited ways to enhance the game. I'm curious how I'll find FS2024 on PSVR2. I played FS2020 on PC with mods, 3rd party tracking programs, 3rd party planes, editing the config files. But it also was a lot of work to keep it running optimally without my system overheating, and every month a patch changed things again so had to re-balance the graphics settings again and fix the key bindings. Plus even from SSD it took over 5 minutes to get it loaded to being in a plane.
PC is like a motorcycle, you can go anywhere, tinker with it to your heart's content.
Consoles are like a comfy Sedan, it just works.
