I stop playing pc games now that I got a PS4. 30 fps is fine when you get used to it. I just like playing NHL 15 Mortal Kombat X, DriveClub Destany, GTA5, Why you guys need so many games all the time is rather funny

Those are console games really. Destiny would be better on pc by far....as is every FPS.

That said I get your point of view. I guess it all depends on what you play and how serious you are about games. At this stage in my life I have less time and sometimes wounder if a console might fit my lifestyle better.

@Addict187: it's called getting the most from your money. Would rather 6 games for $80 then 1. Think most would feel the same.

I already replied once but for some reason it was deleted.

Anyway, due to my busy schedule I sometimes think that a console might be the best way to go. I just don't have the time I used to now that I'm in my 40s....

PC is still the overall best platform out there hands down but every platform has it's place.

There's no reason to buy a PC unless you're interested in MMORPGs or strategy titles. PC atm is chock o block full of games which are mediocre. ANd most of its good games are console ports. the old days of the PC being its own platform which produced its own triple AAA titles such as Quake, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, Half Life (etc). Those days are gone.

Dude, Divinity: Original Sin is one of the best games out at the moment and Pillars looks like it could possibly be better. PC has more AAA and AA games than all the consoles do right now. Don't be a fanboy, PC gaming is definitely worth it. Plus most of the console ports are better than their console counterparts.

True that but when I want to play the game the week it comes out. it cost more money regardless. I spent $89 on mortal kombat and play everyday and will play it for a long time. Got Farcry 4 $30 brand new a month ago. Yes I know there on pc. I have a pc that can play them just don't care anymore. I'm having more fun online gaming then I ever did on pc. I have 130 games on steam and wish I did not buy 70% of them. Dame Steam sales I curse thee

Here's my take on current gen console gaming and pc gaming.

I was a big pc gamer starting around 97 when I built my first gaming rig. I still remember buying a voodoo 2 for 3d gaming and it was glorious. Anyway, I was a diehard pc guy up until the mid 2000s when I decided to sell my rig and go console only.

I have owned all three current consoles. I sold the ps4 almost immediately as all my friends were playing on the xbone. Recently sold off all my xbone games and the console is just sitting there. I LOVE my Wii U. It's not going anywhere. The xbone will most likely be sold off soon.

Right now I just got delivered today, all brand new, an i7 4790k, msi gaming 5 mobo, 16gb 2x8 memory and a Samsung 250gb ssd from a buddy for $300. Picked up a seasonic 850 psu, Anthoo case, Logitech mechanical keyboard and a mouse from newegg along with a few random other needed things for about $500. I know that's not the best example as I got a killer deal but starting small and building up is always an option. I still need to pick a monitor, gpu and cooling. Using an old 6950 from a buddy for the time being.

I am so excited to be back into pc gaming. The multiplats are there. The free online is there. The power to do whatever you want is there. Plus there is nothing like building and tinkering with your own rig.

I am just so underwhelmed by the current consoles. The performance I can live with but I just don't see any major exclusives that make me want to own one. In the end i think it's just the fact that with a rig you can play with settings, upgrade, overclock and just control everything. I miss that freedom the most. The fun of putting it all together and making the wiring as neat as can be. It's a hands on experience. I get it if you prefer consoles but I've got the pc bug again and oh boy is it great. It can be a huge money pit though if, like me, you like having the newest tech when it releases. I'm not going to go as crazy as I have in the past upgrading with every new gpu and every other cpu but like I said there's nothing like a pc for a truly personal experience.
