We know hermits are feeling even more irrelevant than usual at the launch of new consoles. Its ok.

Considering how badly the consoles are performing, and scoring (lol 7.0, 4.0) we don't mind.

PC is ahead this gen by a big margin.

Obviously mind enough to have to block out my words. I guess the truth cuts deep :(

But who wants to play shitty MMOs? Not me. Consoles>PC

So why would shitty games score 8.0-9.0?

Why couldn't killzone and knack score a shitty 8.0 or 9.0?

Yea, thinking about selling the PC. I dont like FB games and generic rehash mmos. Sniper was right, just stick with consoles for the true next gen experience.

According to GS: PC has the most diverse genres of 8's and 9's http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/?page=3&platform=PC

Nothing in the past year has been FaceBook games (which GS does not even review AFAIK) or MMO's.

So given that info, please explain why consoles get less 9.0 + 8.0 games than PC each year.

so can you split screen co-op? keyboard mouse? headset? windows operating system?

no one uses split screen these days. If you say you do, you're a dirty liar. KB+M are dirt cheap, same with a headset. OS is free.

Say what you want hermits, the main reason I buy a console is not the graphicx, but the games. No matter how high resolution your PC can get, it still can't play GTA V / The Last of Us / Super Mario Galaxy

"a console"? GTAV and SMG are on two different platforms.

BF4 on console is medium setting and 900p for the ps. Obvious we're getting more than that. Oh wait I forgot since I recall cows bragging about getting 60fps and 1080p on there games while the xbox can't.

$400 = 3x more?

Also, twice the frames is worth it alone. Better gfx and more aaa/aa titles? Icing on the cake.

I wouldn't buy that PC for $400. Plus I buy a console for the experience not because of how much it cost. I have a gaming PC for my PC gaming needs. Different experiences, but I enjoy console exclusives more. I do appreciate the high quality multiplats on PC though.

zero chance this is true

Windows 8 alone takes up over 1/4 of that cost. Then you add in a decent keyboard and gaming mouse and you are left with under 230 dollars for the rest of the gear...NO WAY that is accurate.

Wonder Woman should wait for a console to get more aaa/aa titles than PC for a gen.

It's yet to happen. Maybe Wonder Woman should go back to Amazonia or whatever.

As much as I love pc gaming this rig is trash and does not scale at all for future upgrades, Id rather get a 400 dollar ps4. In addition there is no OS included meanwhile the ps4 comes with the OS in the end product (i mean what are you gonna use GNU/Linux, good luck running BF4 and keeping it stable). If we are comparing end products then you have to include the OS, without windows $$$ there is no way to play BF4.

This. Why make a pc that is just inches by past the ps4? might as well just save the build time and buy a ps4.

Build the PC that obliterates the ps4 instead! Sure its more expensive but this is where pc gaming really shines, hardware that last into the generation after the ps4.

i guess console only players don't understand that the windows disc can be reused with new hardware, no need to add it to the cost of a new pc if all they are getting is hardware.

Yes but either way you have had to have paid at some point in your past to obtain that windows disc. Windows was never free to begin with...

i played it yeasterday on my 4gb ram PC

it runs 45fps maxed out (so much better tha PS4)

but that thing is crap and thats why i didnt mention COD ghosts, its purposely unoptimized on PC and should run on my PC on 60fps 1080p maxed out

ghosts only use 2gb of ram on max settings( stupid uncompressed textures), but it should use only 600mb since it looks much worse than battlefield 3

you can put a 8 core fx series cpu on this later, also up to 16gb 1866 ram and a 2x faster GPU with the same PSU

PS4 dont have a OS, all it has is a tiny UI to run games, remember its also a PC, you can work on it all day and at night play games, try editing office documents or editing videos on your PS4

Why do hermits feel the need to do stuff like this? DC much?

You can even show a $100 PC that beats the PS4 and you still wont convince anyone to jump from consoles to PC...

how the hell is it classed as "damage control"? its more like "owning the console peasants". seriously. what are they damage controlling? the fact that some mid-range consoles are coming out with mediocre games and a long waiting game ahead? =/

you still have to purchase an OS (unless you plan to try and game on linux) in order for the PC to even work. the PS4 doesn't need an extra OS purchase. and the added components later, greatly increase the cost of the PC by about double, and I have a feeling that some of the components could oppose future upgrades

in 3 years your PS4 will fail you will have to buy another one for 300

you will already have spent 150 on psn and 300 in games

on the PC side it will keep cool since it has decent case size and fans

spend zero on psn and 100 dollars for the same games

so saving 650 dollars (750 -100) i can build another (much better) PC

this video is about being a cheap guy with little money, not about being a PC elitist

i had a ps3, x360(died in 2 years) a wii(for 2 months to play mario games) and now im happy to save money with my PC

Oh yeah, let's compare a PC that cost 400$ more than a PS3 and see who wins.. yeah because that relates to the topic and question at hand entirely. Stop giving hermits a bad name you idiot.

Wow, talk about goal post moving.

Roughly equal hardware will be outperformed by a console!!

Shows roughly equivalent hardware performing better than console.

But, but, the monies!!!

The bototm line is, last gen the consoles were equivalent to fairly high end gaming PC's, and this gen they are like low end gaming PC's. Deal with it.

Depends what you're doing. If it's a gaming PC than maybe. I mean what Mid-high end card can you afford for a PC that "Just beats the PS4"?

Depends what you're doing. If it's a gaming PC than maybe. I mean what Mid-high end card can you afford for a PC that "Just beats the PS4"?

Agreed yes it does depend what you're doing, sorry I'm just quite passionate about computing on a budget.

And no of course not, I think that's where you and I really agreed - the PS4 can't be beaten on value by a PC.
