@jesot I feel your pain on that (or is it joy that I have so many games to actually play?). I think Titanfall is going to occupy a lot of my time in the near future.
@neowarrior121 @DarkLight748 Building a PC isn't cheaper, but owning one in comparison to the life of a console is. Games on average are 30% less money (and it may be even less), which over the course of time adds up. After purchasing 10-20 games You will have saved the cost of the PC (depending on how much you spend). I average about 15 games a year, easily, so in the course of 5-10 years, a PC saves me a significant amount of money.
@kovaras1984 @deg22 My 8 year old PC had a 650w power supply. And even if it didn't, it's still cheaper to buy a new power supply and video card than an XB1.
PCI-E has been around for a while, so finding a compatible card isn't hard. Once again, it's cheaper to upgrade, Power supply, Video Card, Motherboard, Processor, Ram, than to buy an XB1...Built my gaming rig for $550, which comes in at $100+ under the XB1 in the UK. Now if their parts are more expensive, it may be the same...But with a PC you'll get 1080p/60fps for nearly the same cost.
@uchihasilver @Talavaj @DarkSaber2k My AMD card gets to about 65c while playing a game...not sure if that is hotter than an Nvidia card or not...The fans kick in and I can hear them, but it's not so loud that it's an issue. Same goes for my processor and case fans...I guess another reason I don't hear them because I wear a headset.
@SpicaAntares @Hakkology Nothing will ever equal the way I felt when playing FF II, III, and VII for the first time. And to this day, Zelda: A link to the past is the best game I've ever played...but I had a hard time replaying it when trying to get some of that Nostalgia back. What I would give to have the SNES/PS1 days back.
