Guys don't hate me for this!

Well if you can't afford it then don't complain.

The OP is saying he doesn't have the cash for a decent PC. Yet you (or other postsers for that matter) are telling him that he should stop being cheap and buy a PC. Its like telling you to stop being cheap and buying a Ferrari.

At ~£300, the PS4 is a good bet. You get what you pay for. Don't expect ultra clear graphics, and the game are priced a bit higher. I think for the same price, the PC you end up buying will only be marginally better than a console. The only downside is that PC games evolve, and you will need to upgrade your tech after 2 years max, but with the PS, you can keep the same tech for 5+ years.

Call me crazy, I still like the PS3 graphics.
 
Good for you. Then why are you contradicting yourself by stating that your cheap console out performs your expensive PC. ?
Where did I say my cheap console out performs it?

I said the overall experience is far superior, experience doesn't mean high resolution, high detail or high framerate.

I can leave my console in suspend and it automatically patch games, then when I want to play I can load from suspend and within seconds have my friends in a party, I can plop a game in and in 30 seconds start playing while it caches the game from the disc, as soon as I load the game it will download any patches for me and if they aren't essential I can carry on playing while they download.

If I need to check a website or do anything from the UI I can pause the game and hit the PS button and be back to the main menu, I can watch a movie, look at youtube, check a FAQ using web browser and then switch back to the game and carry on playing.

While I'm playing I can hit share and take a screenshot or video, edit that video and set it to upload and instantly be back in the game without losing any progress while it uploads in the background.

I pay for PS+ and every month I get a free game or two, I could just pay for PS+ year on year and never have to buy another game.

Where did you get £1000 from ? Not that I care to tell, but I didn't spend that little on my PC, but I will be buying a GTX780 next month as part of a planned upgrade, about £400, but I don't mind. Funny how one part of my PC is worth more than your entire console and yet you still think your gaming experience is better. What cave are you living in ?

Congrats you spent loads of money, do you want a medal or something?

I'm done here, it is clear you haven't even used a PS4 if you think having a gaming PC that runs Windows 8 and requires frequent driver updates to fix game incompatibilities and having bad DRM running three different stores/launchers to play your games is superior.

Yep, I think if you check my previous post you will find that that is what I said. :p

Why not respond to the rest of my post instead of selectively quoting.

Why are you so convinced graphics make an experience?

I pity you for missing out some of the greatest gaming experiences because of your ignorance.

But them again maybe you don't deserve to experience them.

I have a PC that is better than yours and a PS4.

Just don't like elitist morons who act all superior because their £1000 gaming PC is faster than a £350 console.

I find the overall experience far superior on a console as you would expect it is a dedicated gaming machine. ........

There are pc elitists and then there are console fanboys like yourself.

Consoles are great at what they do. PC's are great at what they can do. Get over yourselves.

As an FPS gamer consoles don't even get a look in for me personally and why they can't support KB/M is beyond me :(
 
a lot more do on a PC!!

Download
Play games At amazing res and GFX!
MSN to pick up chicks haha
Online dating!!!
Ocuk forums!!!!!

The list is endless!!

I don't like idiots crowing that their PC is amazing and does everything and is the bestestest thing in the whole wide world all the while belittling and being condescending for no reason whatsoever.

I enjoy talking about both and it's rare that a decent thread pops up where I can have a discussion about it, I have nothing against the guy I just disagree with him, yet I'm not the one being a condescending moron.

Don't pity me. I'm loving life and my PC. Don't get me wrong, I don't pity console noobs because they are poor or whatever, I just pity their futile attempts to try an justify their purchases by this delusional argument that somehow console gaming is better than PC gaming. I guess it's like the old, keeping up with the Jones's argument. You know, your neighbour buys a kick ass car, and you're stuck with your Ford Ka but every time you chat to him, you constantly try and persuade him that your Ford Ka can do 0-60 in 5 seconds. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's that kinda thing. :cool:

You can download from the Playstation Store?
You can play games in 1080p?
You have a friends list and can send messages, join their games or watch them stream to twitch from their console without needing a PC?
PS4 has a web browser?

You keep saying that and I'll keep saying my PC blows yours out of the water and I still think console experience is better.

You have a superiority complex about the hardware that you play games on.



Just let that sink in for second.


I'm sorry that things have turned out this way for you
 
Lmao at some of the pathetic 'PC master race' people in here. Its quite hilarious but also sad.

I'll be honest m8, I'm not really this obnoxious in real life, I'm just having an absolute blast winding up TheLegendOfMart. Don't tell him though, I'm having too much fun ! ;)

You're not winding me up, I enjoy talking about this kind of stuff. Just trying to get my postcount up for MM.

Ok guys. Here is a full and frank apology to all the people I wound up.

Sorry, but I was having too much fun pretending to a PC Elitist ass. I'm not really like that. I've played on several of my friends consoles and really enjoyed it and I have nothing against them.

I've had a few drinks and my mischievous side got the better of me ! :D
 
3 reasons why I will never touch a console....

No mouse, no keyboard, no Steam sales.
I pretty much get a years worth of gaming for about £30 in the Steam sales.

I'm running 2 gen old hardware and have still seen nothing coming out of the console camp to make me even consider the switch particularly for FPS games, playing them with a pad is about as natural as Ann Robinson's face.
 
Pc gets some great deals on games but costs more for hardware (and probably won't last as long)

Eg consider last gen at the time if you bought an 7800/7900GPU and quad core when the Xbox /ps3 came out, it would be torture playing GTA 4 on that (never mind 5!). Yes the resolution is lower etc in 360/ps3 but (most) games look pretty decent and have acceptable frame rates (more important). Never mind the fact optimisation is better on a closed system.

If you play a lot of games I reckon pc is a better buy tho as games are that much cheaper!!
 
If i didnt waste so much money on meaningless crap, and ridiculous amounts of food and drink... i'd buy both but because i'm not thrifty i can afford neither..

Pc > consoles btw
 
If you enjoy a non-unified UI, separate launchers and ways of loading games, friends lists that don't carry across those services, bad DRM, needing to get the latest graphics drivers to get games running properly, the abomination of Windows 8.1.

Remind me again which is the mediocre experience?

I'd rather have multiple launchers than one really **** one like consoles do (swapping disks), disks are bad DRM. I don't use windows 8, nor can I remember the last time I had to manually install a driver. And teamspeak carries across all services. You seem very misinformed.

I think consoles are more likely to not last as long, they are more prone to overheating and there is less you can do to maintain/prevent failure, there is a large range of aftermarket cooling and watercooling for better results

In short: A well maintained PC should theoretically last 10 years+
 
I used to say I like consoles for FIFA etc with mates.

Then I got a htpc (Well, i7, 7850, 8gb of ram, cost like £200 for the main parts on the MM) now we play FIFA which isn't upscaled 720p on there. :p
