PCs save you money over PS4 and XB1

PC gaming is alright, but it lacks playing co op with your friends. Looks weird if I were to share a keyboard and play Bomb It on a small computer screen.

>PC games for $40 each Some foul play is afoot. Any big name title will usually be the same price on release.
-
Lol no. I don't even pay for online. I get it for no mon33z
-
What if I told you I haven't paid for gold in 5 years and still play online?

1 ReplySteam pretty much slaps you in the face with sales, so I can understand the games. If you we're to walk in GameStop right now and buy a game I can guarantee it will cost less on steam. [b]Almost[/b] all the time.

Who in the hell bought/made/whatever a gaming PC for $650 (a figure unheard of in Australia for a solid machine) that lasted for 8 years that could still even play games at a decent frame rate but also last that long without the need for replacing dead components?

4 Replies$2,000 custom made gaming PC lol ok

3 RepliesIf you get like a 600-800 dollar PC you will be good for like 2-3 years. Maybe after that you'll have to upgrade your gpu (if you didn't get a great one initially). If you buy like a 300-400$ gpu you probably won't have to upgrade.

6 RepliesEdited by Orion: 11/4/2013 3:25:33 AMToo bad my PC can't play PS4 games. Sorry OP, but the only right choice is to get a PC and at least one of the consoles. Or better yet both, if you can afford it. That way you don't miss out on anything. Because, y'know, if you were a little more open minded you would realise that all three have their merits, and great exclusives. Enough of this "I think A is better than B, therefore; hey look everyone, I'm retarded!" idea.

2 RepliesEdited by Quantum: 11/4/2013 5:05:30 AM>Good PC is $650 lol no. That's an average PC that won't be able to supply 60FPS at 1080p on Ultra settings in BF4, which frankly should be the benchmark for PC games (IMO). No point massively underspending on a PC, especially if it gets outdated quickly. Also, who the -blam!- buys 40 games at $60?

Not entirely sure you're including the PC upgrades needed to be able to play games in 2021. Nor are you including the mouse, monitor, speakers, etc. I think your graph and figures are slightly flawed.
-
That chart means nothing since it doesn't apply to everyone. But I do agree with the point you're making, PC gaming is cheaper overall than console gaming. Whether it's a better investment or not depends on your current situation.

I understand the money benefit when it comes to the PC or the point of this thread but I honestly feel more comfortable playing on the Xbox & talking to my friends, also the exclusives are worth the extra money IMO. ^_^ I think it's best when you're not one sided & more open minded when it comes to being a gamer overall, everything has it's benefits & in my case Xbox One meets them but I still see why people prefer a PC or PS4. Simply be open minded. There's no overall master race, YOU just have to be the one who decides which one you want to master, whether it's everything or just a handheld. I just hope that everyone is having as much fun as me when it comes to gaming because no matter what you play there will always be people there to play with you when it comes to next-gen, current-gen & PC. We're all one big family of gamers.

2 RepliesEdited by The Squatchmen: 11/3/2013 10:01:42 PMI averaged about 10 different build costs and came to be about $1,250 and then 40 games at $40- Total: $2,850 So I guess you're right - it does save you money, just costly initially......wait a minute, wait a TRUFFING minute! I realized that I forgot the average cost for upgrading and the average amount of years before upgrading to new hardware. So You could be wrong - Also I think you're just a bit biased towards PC gaming As of right now, I'm still doing my research for the average cost - but you can chew on this at the moment. So the build in the pic is $650 - pretty minimum, pretty minimum.....so anyway, there's no way it could keep up the with the consoles over the course of 8 years, likely if you had to upgrade anything, it would be the video card, a $200 video card every 2-3 years. On top of THAT, a new Windows would come out and may need to upgrade to that as well which is $100 - in total it would be $700. $700 + 2,248 = $2,948. just under $3,000 from that dirt cheap build, now I'm doing more research on the average build, and not a cheap ass one Also I just read the text boxes, particularly the one on the right, that this is actually only a graph about PC gaming saving you money of ONE YEAR, and after TWO YEARS you'll still only save $50 against the PS4 In short, this thread is retarded, and you should feel retarded

1 ReplyWell actually my PC would be costing about $1000 ..Still saves money, lol
-
5 RepliesYou can build a gaming pc with the longevity of hardware to play 40 consecutive new games? And it only cost $650? And all the games cost no more than 40 bucks? News to me. I mean, xb1 and ps4 may be lasting for 10 years. It's tough to play new games on a 5 yr old $650 pc, let alone 10.
-
3 RepliesSo this is taking into account the constant technical updates to the PC? Most of which total hundreds of dollars?
-
4 RepliesSadly lots of AAA games are 60 bucks on PC too.
-
4 RepliesPrice of PC games = 40$? Lolwut? More like 50-60$.
-
Sure! Let's spend maybe $1500 on a gaming PC, play games that only require about 20% of the pc's total power, and then buy new and even more expensive parts a month or 2 later because the old parts are 'out-dated'. OP, you're STOOPID
-
Even though people will always say PC is the "best platform" I'm still buying a PS4 and Xbone eventually because I enjoy my exclusives.
