You still spend a fortune building your own. Not saving much, if anything

Reply to comment by Steamdeckgameboy in I've got a ps5, which Xbox should I get? by Content-Cranberry295
My Mrs said the same, I went online and painstakingly set it up so only the one hdmi port was altered to the best ps5 settings. Anyway, about 2 hours into me messing with the Tele, she conceded haha.

I have no idea how you guys haven’t heard about these devices. If you never play FPS games then it’s reasonable but they’ve gotten extremely popular last year.

Using Mnk on keyboard is cheating because it gives a advantage. And it’s not only a modded controller it performers actions humans cannot giving people an huge advantage. Removes recoil and shoots gun faster and reload faster and the list continues

It just works.
Source: Currently fiddling with my PC that last week was ok but now it resets every time I game on it. Whereas consoles either work, or they don't.

I see unending posts from PC players about how they can’t play because of bugs with various launchers. There’s a 0% chance of that on console.

Reply to series x or S? by L3thalPredator
One of the things you need to keep in mind is that developers are not wanting to publish to the series s because they have to cut down soo much performance so that’s it suitable for series s and x. Xbox are also considering stopping production of the series s because of the developers chooses

Yeah no idea what you’re talking about. What kind of devices exactly? Better equipment than you? Lol.
Edit: saw his other post mentioned the Cronus zen. Are you mad because some people are using mouse and keyboard on console? Or because their controller is slightly modded? Damn.

Simplicity. I do both but vastly prefer PC gaming, especially with most AAA titles coming to PC now

Honestly the biggest advantage om my xbox series is quick resume. It's genuinely a game changer for someone like me who likes to game hop between game to game. It really does save so much time.

One I haven't seen mentioned: multi user support. You can easily flip between different users on consoles. It's more complicated on PC. A lot of gaming centric apps like launchers do not like running on two user accounts at the same time on PC. Also, PCs these days don't really shut down. So when you turn one on, you don't know if someone else is already logged in until you log on and start getting "an instance of this application is already running" errors. In that case, you have to open up Task Manager, log out the other user, then log out and log back in yourself.
I love my gaming PC as a couch gaming rig, but it's a pain in the ass sometimes.

I think he is talking about some devices. These devices are for Fish Poisoning Simulation games apparently. They seem to make it easier for people using them to have disabilities with an advantage to catching the fish.
Also they break Types Of Sausages too.

As an avid PC gamer, these are the benefits of consoles:
-
Exclusive games
-
Generally a better couch co op experience (better support mostly, especially for Nintendo Switch)
-
Specifically the Nintendo Switch is portable (Steam Deck is an alternative, but with how good Nintendo exclusives are I prefer the Switch, Switch has the added benefit of the joy cons being separate controllers so you can play co op without a TV or power hookup)
-
Competitive online games usually have fewer hackers (this is more relevant for older online games, new games (games being actively supported or came out within the last few years) don't usually have hackers on PC as well, but as a game gets older hacking becomes more common on PC especially)

I hate to be that guy but....
-
Value to performance when buying everything new consoles are cheaper, but PCs being upgradable without having to replace everything brings hardware costs down over time, games on PC are also cheaper
-
Building a PC is incredibly simple, anyone who can follow basic directions can do it, it's like Legos
-
PCs have more controller options than consoles
-
While the set up can be more complicated, you can set it up to have a very console like experience
-
PC can connect to to virtually any screen
-
You can put a PC in your living room and play from a couch or chair
-
PCs don't really take up any more space than a console
-
There are many form factors for PCs, many of which are smaller than modern consoles, and because you can connect it to any screen you don't need to bring anything more with a PC

Did you won them by bidding or by buying them instantly?

Cheaper.
Ease of use, simplicity and all round less hassle.
Big budget AAA exclusives.
Option for buying physical copies/used games market.
Hackers not ruining games.
No launcher bloat - Not having multiple clients, accounts, passwords, stores, launchers like Steam, Uplay, Battlenet, Origin, Epic Store, etc.
Exclusivity deals/content - publishers/devs tend to do deals with console companies which offer content, dlc or even whole games which may come to console before PC.
Split screen and local co-op.
Big developers tend to prioritize consoles (Rockstar etc)
Most Japanese games and developers prioritize console.
No system requirements.
Less bugs/issues/crashes etc
No Denuvo DRM.
HDR support is prioritized for console games and big screen tv's.

As far as I'm concerned, the controller does not allow you to fully use your PC. For instance, if I'd like to open Steam or any other launcher I'd still need to use Mouse and Keyboard to open the launcher and game before I'm actually using the controller.
What are the specs of this computer? I really doubt it's any better than a PS5/XSX. And how much did it cost?

I would argue PC has superior social options than console, integrated chat system into most multiplayer games and discord imo being better than what consoles currently offer

Also I would like to add that with the growth of the emulation community you can play any console games you want to, with the right settings you can emulate the full console experience, including, but not limited to, using original physical media bought legitimately through the common ways
