Edited.

I watched the whole vid and I agree with his points. I think he was being objective about it.

"...graphics, SLI, 980 Ti..." "...and this, I think, sums up point of PC..." "...when I think PC gaming, I think overclocking..." - stopped watching after this.

Oh boy, this guy is complete moron. I've been gaming on computers for 30+ years, on PC for 20+, and for me, as well as most of my buddies, computer gaming, PC as its current form, was never about visuals, but about diversity of genres and once PC kicked in, mods. And last, but not least, ever since Amiga 500, about mouse/keyboard.

He had to cover the price point argument. How could be a coherent vs video if he Didn't?

He's saying it's pointless buying a pc that's costs as much as a ps4 because you might aswell get a ps4 (exclusives and shiz). Pc's are about building to your potential always wanting more and making the machine truly yours.

I'm old, as someone who's been gaming on computers for 30+ years, maybe I just don't understand this new breed of PC gamers that are buying PCs for graphics...since that's not what PC gaming was ever about. Sure, there was always tech things with PCs (and computers in general) that stood out vs consoles, but in its core, it was always about different experiences, not graphics.

So, if someone is really into PC gaming and fully understands what it's all about, it makes all the sense to buy even cheaper PC rig.

good vid. pretty much my standpoint as well.

1. The PC gets plenty of awesome exclusives as well. In fact, it gets TONS. It's not Uncharted 4 where it might be the only big game on the horizon for that console, or one of a small handful. Or Halo 5. There are so many releases, it's hard to get hyped and focus on just one. To put exclusives as a plus for consoles is just silly.

2. It's strange that he makes sure to point out you're paying more for quality PC hardware, and even listed price as a plus for consoles, yet in the video itself he showed how dirt cheap PC gaming can be, with new release games easily attainable for 1/2 or 1/3 the price of what they'd be found for on consoles. Not to mention, there is no charge for online play. In just two or three years you could EASILY be paying more on consoles than PC once you factor in software and service fees for console.

3. His unified service praise for consoles is baffling as well. Look at EA Access. Because PSN is run by Sony and only Sony, they said "no thanks" and that was it. If there were an open market there, it could have come anyway. Instead of just buying games from MicroSony, there could be third party vendors on the stores offering discounted software just like on PC.

He also bitches about needing various accounts for various publishers and broken games, both things that are equally guilty on consoles. He seems to be going out of his way to pander to consoles. Either way like I said back when the next gen consoles launched and PS4 guys were gloating about slightly higher specs or a small framerate boost.. you can go for specs or you can go for games. If you like the exclusives your console offers more, then you'll enjoy it more and don't mind the weaker specs. That goes for both consoles versus PC.

Also, sweet Jesus. Batman looked fucking amazing on his machine. I might have to look into getting this on PC.

I haven't watched the video but if that's what he's saying then I disagree.  The way I think of it, if I'm going to have a PC anyway--and I am, always, as I consider owning a computer a necessity--then it makes more sense to go ahead and upgrade something that is monumentally useful than to go out and buy a console, which falls completely under the toy category for me.

Most people already have a computer. So they're deciding between an upgrade which means pretty much replacing most things or buying a PS4. A PC that's only just as capable as a PS4 kind of misses the point. Especially as the components you'd need to get the price down would need to be replaced to get upgraded like a new motherboard for more RAM. Or a CPU upgrade. GPU upgrade probably would require a bigger case and a better power supply. Etc.

Just easier for a console where you're not missing out on the exclusives for.. well no reason if your goal it to play AAA games on your budget PC build.

i allready have a computer and upgrading graphicscards isnt improving the performance as much as upgrading CPU, ram and SSD all things not important for gaming performance
