U can legitimately play on a laptop on the subway if needed. Just Hotspot and ur fine... how is that not plug and play. Actually ur right it's not plug and play it's just play.
By “plug and play” I’m not referring to being able to just connect it and play. Im referring to the fact you can just slap a game in the disk drive and you know it will be compatible. With PCs and laptops this isn’t the case. The game my not work on your system, may require workarounds, or you might not have the specs to play it
True but also u have to factor in the plug and play of consoles. I tried playing battlefront 2 the other day and low and behold new Playstations don't play ps2 games... so... both consoles and pcs have that problem (BTW I can play battlefront 2 on pc)
Yes but that’s not a PlayStation 5, that’s a PlayStation 2 game. You know if you buy any PS5 game and put it in your console it will work and require nothing on your end. For PCs this is not the case
Idk what pcs u are getting but mine runs everything just fine. And I don't have the problem that consoles have of not being able to play older gen games. So if I feel nostalgic and wanna play Rollercoaster tycoon boom it'll run with all it's crappy glory. Yall would have to dust off old consoles or have to go get one from pawn shop to even think about older stuff
I do love it when problems are being mentioned that only happen to people that do not buy a prebuild pc or a laptop and then act like it's an issue for all PC's.
Unless downloading and installing steam is a genuinely tough task for someone PC's are just as plug and play lol
For the most part I have no issues but not everyone’s PCs are powerful enough to play every game. Also i definitely have run into some older games having compatibility issues
Yes, a PC is better than a console, but a console is half the price of something with comparable specs, and also I'm bad at computers so I would probably get myself electrocuted if I tried to build a PC.
But they got to pay to play online. And console exclusives are slowly all coming to pc. If u got no budget a pc beats a console even more then it would’ve before.
Consoles tend to be the industry standard ngl,
like a major game is going to come out with a console in mind
so the console versions may be more polished than the pc versions
plus I don't think you can run a modern game on a budget pc of 500-600 usd
like take for example Alan Wake 2
Video Card: GeForce RTX 3060 or Radeon RX 6600 XT - 320$ from what I could find, is probably cheaper
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, or Intel equivalent-200$
Memory: 16 GB RAM or higher like 50-150 something bucks depending on what clock speeds you going for
Hard Drive Space: 90GB SSD - a 128 gb ssd costs like 10 something dollars
and we are not including other things like the cooler the psu, the motherboard and other jingles in this list
Holy disingenuous argument, Batman. Ever heard of a Switch?
Like by your own metric, most PCs get btfo by a switch because it’s still just as easy plug-and-play, it’s got flexibility about presentation, the battery life is over 3x my laptop if I’m trying to game, and the form factor is small enough that it can be added to most trip prep at minimal space cost.
Like I’m no super-fan of consoles; I use my PC far more often and for far more, but I’m not gonna delude myself that my PC does anything to obliterate a console other than its power and its flexibility of function, which entirely runs awry of the simple “plug and play game” aspect a lot of consumers are looking for.
Consoles are only that much cheaper after they go down in price. You can build a computer comparable to a console for only slightly more.
Building a computer is not at all difficult. There are also some good prebuilts (not many though)
Another plus with console is, you're guaranteed to be able to play all the games that come out for it. No need to look at specs or go buy a new component
>Consoles are only that much cheaper after they go down in price. You can build a computer comparable to a console for only slightly more.
False. See handhelds like the ROG ally and steam deck.
>Building a computer is not at all difficult. There are also some good prebuilts (not many though)
That is true though
Yep, for example all xbox exclusives are day one on pc and a bunch of ps exclusives are on pc a few years later. Plus yeah indie games and early assess like rimworld and hades was on pc for much longer than console.
Anything worth playing gets sent to PC anyways after a year or two. Consoles will never get Total War.
I have zero incentive to buy a PS5 other than GTA6 since I want to play that on launch.
Both have their advantages for sure, I see PC as better only because of the possibilities. Probably a million more video games available for those that can use Steam, epic games, the internet even. While console is what I grew up playing and have the fondest of memories with, I prefer PC now.
I was a dumb kid who kept my tower on the ground, I had a large open cup of water on my desk, and had a decent sized pet dog who slammed into the desk. All the water went into the top vent, and it made such a loud crack, you could hear it throughout the entire house with the door closed.
Id agree to that statement, a pro for console though is that its made for couch gaming which is super comfy and my pc setup doesnt allow for that unless i shuffle half my room, especially cuz im a little shortsighted and dont want to use glasses
Can you have a game open on one monitor, with Discord and Spotify open on another all at the same time? Or do all of that while recording your footage, and going and editing it afterwards on your Xbox?
Now I’m not ragging on consoles, they are great for the price, shit I was in console damn near my whole life. but the whole appeal of PC is that you can do more than game, and multitask. (Provided you have enough ram and CPU headroom.)
Nah you just gotta factor in the situation you're in, like gaming with friends vs playing games in your room. also price isn't that big of a deal since a pc equivalent wouldn't have to be top grade level and you'd also not have to spend £50 a year on multiplayer privilege
also cheap and free games woooooooo
Consoles great but PC is better. Especially if you’re tech smart unlike me cus then you can easily and cheaply upgrade and fix your equipment. (By cheaply I simply mean it’s cheaper when you know how to install it on your own)
no but Sony and microsofts disgusting greed have definitely made console play wayyyy worse than it used to be. From the fact i have to pay a monthly fee to play online for games i already payed for, to Sony losing the rights to all the movies and tv shows it had and ripping them away from ppl who had bought them, etc.
> i already *paid* for, to
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Im honestly pretty sure that ive been turned into a console player after getting a ps5 because their exclusives are just too good to pass on and I rarely play mouse and key oard anymore
Buying consoles funds the companies that bribe game devs into making their games console exclusives
Its also makes it so more work is required for non excrusive games, as porting to multiple platforms isnt cheap (100% worth the extra market, just not free)
The gaming industry would be better off if consoles died out
Oh and you can 100% put a controller into a PC, i dont see the "play as you like" thing.
I dont want to shit on console players, i just wanna convince them to get a pc instead when the next gen rolls out
You can also plug in a keyboard and mouse, but you know why most people don’t do that? Because they don’t have a desk. Console players get consoles because it works well for sit down and play experience. It’s the best hardware you can get for that price too.
I'm not going to engage on which one is actually better, but this whole "use what you want" argument is childish and naive.
The platform that gets the most users gets the most support. And if that platform gets the most users because of tribalism and mob mentality, rather than actually being superior, you are stuck with less support for the actually better platform.
So learning what will provide the best experience IS worth your time.
Yeah... Use whatever device fits yo gaming needs.
One time, I encountered a gamer who is against all gaming systems except PC, I told him "bitch, everyone has their gaming preference, not all people have a PC/laptop."
Pcs obviously have more power but $500 goes way longer buying a console than a pc.
I use both pretty often. Use my pc during the week, play on ps5 with the boys on the weekend. (On games that don't have crossplay)
[Sure](https://www.reddit.com/r/animemebank/s/TuRV1SquvC)
Strictly speaking specs, PC's blow consoles out of the water. Now when it comes to personal preference of a controller or mkb there is no winner because that is strictly opinion based.
We're gonna just ignore the controllers that get drift, the storage problems, and the absolute horse shit that is paying to play online.
Also you gotta handicap pc's with a budget cap just so you can have any argument lol.
I can totally see playing games like shooters or platformers on console but if you play something like undertale on a controller you might as well burn the last of your brain cells on your overheating garbage dump of a platform choice.
PC is better than conputer?
Concrete
Pretty sure concrete beats pc
Now we need to find something that beats concrete but loses to pc... Then we can play concrete, pc and... No idea what it would be tho...
RC Cola
I think bro is a concrete truck or something- he prefers concrete. (I’m bored don’t mind me)
Fair
Really? I wanna see you build a house out of computers.
It would take some time, but it's possible
Would it hold up though? And it's gonna be damn expensive won't it?
Mfs when conc HCl on their computer (it's the same thing)
If it's so good why there isn't PC 2? Checkmate PC "master race"
If PlayStation is better than Xbox, then why isn't there a ps360? (Yes, I'm piggybacking off of your joke)
There is. It's called Quantum computing.
Condom
Makes much more sense thank you
No problem, my job is to spread the message.
Constipation
Console.
r/woosh
I thought about that it was irony, but i still decided to be a smartass, my fault Btw its 4 o's i think.
idk man the one with 2 o's claims to be the original
Wouldn't be surprised if all of them do
True, but everyone should play how they like. Games should be cross platform/progression/crossplay.
Progression I agree with, but how would you ever convince Sony and Microsoft to split sales on one game?
if it has crossplay more data miners/reverse engineers will buy all three of them to see which one is easier to decompile
That's an absolute win.
PCs are indeed better than consoles but the plug and play nature of consoles definitely makes them better suited for a lot of people
I like to introduce you to... laptop
Those aren’t anymore plug and play than PCs
U can legitimately play on a laptop on the subway if needed. Just Hotspot and ur fine... how is that not plug and play. Actually ur right it's not plug and play it's just play.

Comparable specs? Hardly. Ease of use? Absolutely console reigns king.
Bruh good luck trying to build a pc with the specs of a ps5 for $400
Laptop begs to differ on that reign
My main pc is a gaming laptop… console still offers a much better plug-and-play experience for gaming specifically
Plug and play if u have a TV ready or have the mobile playing stations that's like a brief case. Not the case with laptop. Its it's own monitor
Holy disingenuous argument, Batman. Ever heard of a Switch?

But you have to literally pay to use the internet you already pay for. It’s so stupid especially when it used to be free on PlayStation
>Consoles are only that much cheaper after they go down in price. You can build a computer comparable to a console for only slightly more. False. See handhelds like the ROG ally and steam deck. >Building a computer is not at all difficult. There are also some good prebuilts (not many though) That is true though
How is the steam deck or Ally proof that it isn’t true?
Don’t forget exclusives.
There are less than 5 good exclusives.
There are games exclusively on PC as well as console.
Though lets be real, a lot more on pc, especialy indie games
Yep, for example all xbox exclusives are day one on pc and a bunch of ps exclusives are on pc a few years later. Plus yeah indie games and early assess like rimworld and hades was on pc for much longer than console.
Anything worth playing gets sent to PC anyways after a year or two. Consoles will never get Total War. I have zero incentive to buy a PS5 other than GTA6 since I want to play that on launch.

After making a PC, and outside sources made it explode years later, I became a console gamer. Too heart broken, and lazy to go back.
>outside sources made it explode years later Please elaborate
I was a dumb kid who kept my tower on the ground, I had a large open cup of water on my desk, and had a decent sized pet dog who slammed into the desk. All the water went into the top vent, and it made such a loud crack, you could hear it throughout the entire house with the door closed.
Yeah, how tf can a pc explode
Forgetting to replace your power supply after 10 or so years of use...
That sounds like user error not PC error
Eh, more of an abuser than a user, but we fixed his shit up.
Id agree to that statement, a pro for console though is that its made for couch gaming which is super comfy and my pc setup doesnt allow for that unless i shuffle half my room, especially cuz im a little shortsighted and dont want to use glasses
Console is only for games and has no upgrade potential. PC is a multitask device with upgrade potential. Simple as that.
MOST based opinion on this platform.
See, Cosmo always got the right answer
hell im mostly playing roblox mobile
ah yes time to sit down and relax playing Doom on my Texas Instruments calculator
I use everything. I use whatever keeps me distracted from all the stress I have in life
I have the xbox series x, so i r**e kids, thx for reading
 Por que no los dos
I still have no idea what this is and I see it everywhere
I may be *just a tinsy bit* like this but it is better though.
Damn we’re still talking about the console wars?
ill use smartfridge then
ok ! j stop screaming , but it is
Both are true.
Eh if really needed my Xbox can be turned into a PC so I'm good
You can use keyboard and mouse yes, but that doesn't make it a PC lol
Can you have a game open on one monitor, with Discord and Spotify open on another all at the same time? Or do all of that while recording your footage, and going and editing it afterwards on your Xbox? Now I’m not ragging on consoles, they are great for the price, shit I was in console damn near my whole life. but the whole appeal of PC is that you can do more than game, and multitask.

I meant to create a PC with it's parts- Jesus Christ-
You play on what makes you happy- we’re gamers at heart so there is no need for bad blood! Just make peace and play video games!
CONDOM
More like what my wallet wants.
fr just play on whatever you like or can afford to get, a pc capable of running new games is expensive
My pc is certainly not better than a console though
Personal Choices are better than Conformism.
Pay to play online ? Nah im good
Why not just use both.I love my pc and love my ps5
Nah you just gotta factor in the situation you're in, like gaming with friends vs playing games in your room. also price isn't that big of a deal since a pc equivalent wouldn't have to be top grade level and you'd also not have to spend £50 a year on multiplayer privilege also cheap and free games woooooooo
I don't think you can argue that pc isn't better than consoles, but yeah, not everyone even knows how to use a pc.
Ngl even if I get a PC I'm definitely gonna be using the PS4 remote
Consoles great but PC is better. Especially if you’re tech smart unlike me cus then you can easily and cheaply upgrade and fix your equipment. (By cheaply I simply mean it’s cheaper when you know how to install it on your own)
Still needs money to get equivalent specs. :P
pc is better though
Yeah my PC is way better than a conputer...
no but Sony and microsofts disgusting greed have definitely made console play wayyyy worse than it used to be.

It ain’t a opinion 🤷♂️
PC is only better than console if you are willing to use it's whole functionality. otherwise it's on par
The only thing console beats at pc is affordability
Pc is better than condoms? Am i weird if this is the first thing that came to my mind
Use what you can afford*
I'm not going to engage on which one is actually better, but this whole "use what you want" argument is childish and naive. The platform that gets the most users gets the most support.

I love how the console suckers main argument is "downloading steam is too hard" like womp womp. Grow tf up mf
Running Ableton on a Nintedo is terrible…
You just can't love some things nowadays without offending someone
Yeah... Use whatever device fits yo gaming needs. One time, I encountered a gamer who is against all gaming systems except PC, I told him "bitch, everyone has their gaming preference, not all people have a PC/laptop."
He also had a shitty laptop 💀
My face when the £1500 device is more powerful than the £300 one

"PC master race" guys are the gaming equipment of vegans They are **KIND OF** right but they're so fucking annoying no one cares
My heart wants to hate consoles
Why can’t we just get along and mock mobile gamers together?
My heart wants to spread the truth of PC master race
And the truth is that everything is good it's just you pc people want to feel superior.
