Is difference in graphics between consoles and PC really so big that players should abandon consoles?
| M8, liking circle, square, triangle over Ctrl + G has nothing to do with whether it's better or not but personal preference lol. Why you even use that as an argument baffles me whatsoever. While PCs can run some games much better than PS4, the difference isn't something that makes you want to abandon consoles completely. I mean there are still a good amount of exclusive like BB that one can't experience otherwise. However there are also games that are simply much better to be played on PC instead of consoles (such as FPS) and you can get the added benefit of playing with a controller on it, if that is what you want. |

| bruh modern consoles struggle to maintain 30 fps |
| If your sole reason to jump to PC only is for merely the graphics, you are a fool. PC's strongest points come from modding and indie games/PC Exclusive games. If you don't care about those three points, then there is no reason to make the jump. |

Lord_Sithis said: @DateYutaka This is not a discussion. PC is superior to console, if you don't like it, good for you. There's always a discussion. Mind telling me how am I supposed to play exclusives with a PC? I'm not saying a PS4 is better, just don't go off acting like it's facts. |

I also want to play it in glorious PC because "It's superior" Apparently, It doesn't have Uncharted so whether it being the best has no relevance in my occasion. A PS4 can't emulate a PC, simply because *Drum roll* It wasn't meant to emulate a PC. That wasn't hard, was it? |
| Think this is a pretty good summary: tl;dr - Factually speaking a PC is superior since it can do many more tasks and also with better performance, albeit at a bigger price tag. Though if you just want to play dancing games with your girl friends then a Wii will do you just fine. So it depends on how you look at it To answer OP's question, of course PCs can achieve much better graphics but it's not like graphics are the only important thing when it comes to video games soooo to each their own |

| Like in the video posted by @HaXXspetten, PC's are objectively superior. Consoles do have advantages but they're not much. About the only good news for consoles lately is that they get some very good exclusives and that PC ports are still up and down lately despite the last absolute porting tragedy still being the Arkham Knight disaster. But for everything else, PC can do it better than consoles, not just the graphics alone. There are so many reasons to own a PC and it's way more versatile. You can play on your desk or in front of your TV while using a mouse and keyboard or just a gamepad instead. |

| @Lord_Sithis Look, are you acting stupid on purpose? Here we go. The PC is generally better than the console. Get it? Consoles appeal because they have better exclusives. Get it? Most PC exclusiveso are shit anyway. Get it? You get better games at a console. Get it? Ergo, the PC is not better at everything. If you don't get this simple logic, I don't even know how to convince you. @TiaDee They're shit games anyway so... |
| Graphics aren't everything for me in a game. Also Pc gamers miss out on some cool console exclusives too (like red dead redemption) . Also the whole pc requirements for running games smoothly are confusing and varying, it's like a labyrinth of specs and what to have and need and not to have and need especially if you're an avid gamer. Yeah call me lazy or simple, but i'd rather have a ps4, plug it in , insert ps4 game disc , and play and not worry about the whole req shit stuff . all in all, i don't think of switching to a pc anytime soon . The big advantage is that pc can run older games while ps4 will run games of its gen only (they are bringing some older games though to consoles) and the better graphics of course . Oh and i hate WoW, dota, LoL etc and most MMOs so i don't consider myself missing out on them lol. |

Psajdak said: Dunno, aside from fps (60fps is always enough, IMO) Hmm, Rocket League begs to differ, when I come up against Playstation players in Rocket League I just know I'm going to wreck house with my 144hz over their 60, even if they're all the same rank as me. Instead of asking what advantages PC has, ask yourself what advantages consoles have? Because they don't have game sales, you have to pay for multiplayer, they're no longer easier to use than PCs - so really, what do consoles have? Lower initial cost that will assuredly accumulate to greater cost over time. |

tomato5 said: Khaosman-ADVENT said: Like in the video posted by @HaXXspetten, PC's are objectively superior. Consoles do have advantages but they're not much. So..... PC is subjectively superior, if you admit consoles have some advantages, but you don't care for these advantages. Objective, being that on paper, a decent PC would outperform a console anytime. Even the PS4 Pro and Scorpio coming out next year is confirmed to be maxed around what would be a mid-range PC at the time of their release. Subjective, being that it's completely up to you to deal with the advantages or disadvantages of each platform. A PC would always be more powerful but if you like having things simpler or you like the exclusives, buy a console. As gamers, we are also consumers. |

| @Lord_Sithis calm yer nerves down, son. We all know you have slick that PC no need to boast with the specs like damn those specs are fire. Should I clap? Why don't you go look at Ps Neo, sonny boy? And yes the UI is easier since you don't have to install anything. It's ready for you when you open it. Now, go play WoW, or you cool PC exclusives. |
| PC gaming is a joke. So much effort, money and time just to play something and the advantage is just superior graphics? pffts. PC sometimes get worse ports than last gen consoles. |
 |
| Yeah throw your PS4Pro in the dumpster. Specifically the one I use. Or if you could just set it off to the side so I don't have to dig for it... |

| Not really that graphics "high" wears off pretty fast. Despite that, pc does have more to offer in that there is a wider variety of games and it's better for day to day task (email, research, content creation ect.) but one thing i like about consoles is that they make decent home theatre machines. If got hulu cr ect or if you got the wii u, it's browser supports video playback on illegal streaming sites. |
| No, PC is extremely lacking in AAA and Middle Market Eastern made exclusives, you only see the stuff that comes west on PC. |
 |
| Consoles have better AAA exclusives and their easier to use. Don't forget to factor in portable consoles like the 3DS and PS Vita. Any average joe can pick it up and play anywhere they want. PC gaming is just plain cheaper. Games are practically given away, but you're bound to your computer chair and a 19 inch computer monitor. And before someone mentions you can game with a PC on your 60inch family room monstrosity.. No. Just no. Nobody does that. Cliff Notes: Buy Both you filthy casual |
| No, graphics aren't a good enough reason to abandon consoles. Do it because... 1. The big three have no intention of preserving their games with backwards compatibility or compatible operating systems between generations. Newer consoles are much more intricate and fragile than the old. They want you to buy the same games every generation, as remasters, or repurchase the consoles until they're no longer available. Designing games for different specifications is safer. 2. Because proprietary hardware is much harder to repair when something breaks. You'll probably have to throw the whole console away instead of replacing the broken motherboard or power supply. 3. Because they try to make you pay for everything, locking you out of huge portions of your games if you don't have an online subscription. 4. Because of the lack of control options. There are lots of games that I prefer with a mouse and keyboard, but anything first-person especially. 5: Because PC games have better sales, more often. 6. Because if you're already at your computer, as I'm guessing most here are, it's much easier and faster to launch a game than it would be to turn on a console, switch video channels and find the game in the menu with the D-pad. Multitasking is nice. 7. Because of reduced loading times and the ability to skip intros (logos and warnings). There are a few console games that I want to play, but it's not worth all the frustrations, concerns and costs. I always have something to do anyway. Plus, if I got a console, I'd have to switch my headphones from the controller to my tower and back. I like doing everything with one system. It's easier.

| You see, the circle jerking you see in Gamespot or IGN, or just games videos in General, they are the twats of the PC race. Those are often disregarded by the PC master race. They're the minority, they're just the loudest of the bunch. That same logic applies to console fanboys. |

Psajdak said: Controller prompts are pretty universal. I really hate it when a PC game defaults to the Xbox buttons because I have a controller connected. The only way to force it to the keyboard and mouse prompts in some of them is to disconnect the controller.even though PC games don't have beautiful things like x, square, triangle, and circle, and instead have ugly (sorry, but it is) keyboard buttons? |
