Who called PC gaming expensive? That person is certainly an idiot, mainly because one can spend all the life playing free games on PC, like MOBA

Can the PC Master Race STFU?
Why are you swarming every console thread to say "hur hur cnsoles hav no AA they ran @ 720p OMG OMG"
Well its not so apparent on MAL, but it is on other sites like Kotaku
Also most of you seem to dont know anything about hardware at all
Consoles have closed architecture; that means the games are much better optimised
So a PC with the same hardware as a console cant even hope to compare to it
PS3 runs on 512MB RAM and on a 7700GT
And it runs games like TLOU
Can a PC with the same hardware do it? Hell NO

Also for ME consoles have muuuuchh better exclusives
The only great PC exclusives i played this gen is Titan Quest and Shogun 2

So yeah, I consider my Ps3($300) to be a better gaming machine than my PC($1200+)
because i value games more than graphics
Though a problem with consoles now is the online fee, $50

Anyways, to each his own

To be perfectly fair, console games on xbox360 and PS3 tend to target 30fps (they tend to not even do a good job of that to be honest, in general), lack anti-aliasing and other filtering techniques, crank down effects, and upscale.

The most important thing in terms of performance isn't your hardware necessarily, it is what you choose to target and the optimization effort you put into targets. Crappy ports will run poor regardless of how good the hardware is. Good ports will run well on the hardware. It is true that a single hardware profile does make it easier on developers though to do effective optimization.

TLOU is only partly a graphic reference. The textures look very squalid in case of closer consideration and mushy.
Most people also do not understand that anyone can already configure with little budget(600€) a highly competitive pc.
At last it is even possible on long view to spare money, because games are cheaper.

However, on the whole I agree with you. Systems define themselves over games and the consoles have very good exclusively titles.
Therefore, I will play furthermore console.

You will surely save money if you play online because the online fee is $50 on consoles
so in 6 years you will have spent 300 for online, which totals for $700 for the console

but still, im gonna buy a ps4 aswell because of the exclusives, mainly for MGS and FF

EDIT: Also how can you make a PC comparable to PS4 with only $600? The cheapest i could make(without OS) is $820 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ibWK

I don't think there's anyone acting superior in this thread because they have a PC.

Why are you swarming every console thread to say "hur hur cnsoles hav no AA they ran @ 720p OMG OMG"

To be fair, they don't. 1080p @ 60 fps should be standard by now.

Well its not so apparent on MAL, but it is on other sites like Kotaku

So go complain over there.

Also most of you seem to dont know anything about hardware at all

You're right on that part. The PS3 can sure run current games at 720p (at low settings) with frames ranging from 15-30 per second with extremely outdated hardware. Chalk one up for the consoles.

Also for ME consoles have muuuuchh better exclusives
The only great PC exclusives i played this gen is Titan Quest and Shogun 2

I'm surprised that you only considered 2 PC exclusive titles to be great in the last 6 years but to each his own.

So yeah, I consider my Ps3($300) to be a better gaming machine than my PC($1200+)
because i value games more than graphics

If you "value games more than graphics", then why spend $1200 on a PC?

EDIT: Also how can you make a PC comparable to PS4 with only $600? The cheapest i could make(without OS) is $820 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ibWK

I can now see how you ended up spending over $1200 on your PC... Here's a proper build with everything included at just $30 dollars more than your "build": http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2inOA

1. A PC is not only for games
2. I had the money

Well, I live in Greece and the price here are different than the US
And by that I mean that everything is around 50% more expensive
Anyways here is my build
CPU:i5-3570k ,Motherboard:Gigabyte GA-Z77x UD3H,RAM:CRUCIAL Ballistix 8gb 1866mhz CL9,Optical Drive: Plextor PX-891SA,Case:Coolermaster HAF 932,PSU: Coolermaster UPC 1100W :D ,Storage:Seagate 2TB,GPU:ASUS GTX 670 TOP,Display:Alienware AW2310
I bought most of the parts used beacause if this was new it would cost $2000+


Also you basically saved money by switching 4670k for the FX 6300
but I think its not a wise choice to not buy the I5 for $125
The FX surely wont last you 7+ years

That FX kind of has really terrible single thread performance also. I was wondering why it was so cheap.

Xbox One without Kinect at June 2014 399$

Lol, "Kinect is a basic component of the Xbox entertainment system"

And now without Kinect. To be honest I like Kinect, it's fun to use it and I was kind of hoping that Kinect would have been used to improve the game-experience. There may be many people who don't like it, but that doesn't change that the heads of Microsoft Xbox department changes their mind continually.

I guess, I should upgrade my PC instead.
