Pc gaming has never been as good as it is today.

heck, even 18+ adult games on steam is a compelling factor for pc gaming lmao. those kind of games will never ever hit ps/xbox stores as they're trying to depict themselves as family friendly
reminds me they've released Rance recently on GOG ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
To be fair you’re making it out as if games crashing is a normal thing, with almost every game. It’s either major hyperbole or an issue with your PC.
Nah, was just pointing out my personal PC experience over a certain period compared with my experience on console.

From what I can see it's pretty common knowledge that modern PC ports have not been that hot recently. I pointed to Wild Hearts and Wo Long as very recent AAA examples where issues have been prevalent regardless of specs, hardly hyperbole. On the other end Atomic Hearts runs like a fucking dream, which also seems to be the common experience. You sure it's just my PC?

Nice opinion, OP, but PC gaming peaked with Commander Keen.

Everything since has been alright.

I agree with you but cmon...who the heck pays for Windows?

Fair enough. So here's the build I put together using the specs (and prices) that were listed in the post I responded to.

Fun facts:
  • Nearly $450.00 more than a PS5 or Series X.
    • Not including shipping
  • Doesn't come assembled.
  • No keyboard, mouse or controller included.

Easily a better build with a much stronger GPU

Slap in any $50-$60 PC ATX tower, there's plenty of choice.

Keyboard and mouse? How are you typing on this forum? 100% mobile? In 2023, you never had a keyboard and mouse.. You have no controller either... but you were a console gamer..

Hey, man...I went with what was outlined. Did you not catch that?

Slap in any $50-$60 PC ATX tower, there's plenty of choice.

Then why not include that in your tally? Kind of seems like you were trying to make your build look cheaper than it really is, which is a hallmark of any PC Gaming conversion-style argument.

And a $60 case? Wow, I bet that's going to be a real looker!

Keyboard and mouse? How are you typing on this forum?

Never heard of a laptop or Chromebook, I guess? Completely unreasonable that someone with one of those might want to build a gaming pc?

Oh, and do they no longer include controllers with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S? Because you see, I was just trying to point out that you get everything you need with a console right in the box. I thought that would have been obvious, but here we are.

But I digress, I'm sure Little Johnny NewBuild can just ask his mom for an old keyboard and mouse from her late 90s Compaq Presario.

Resorting to sarcastic extremes while straining to make a point? I've never encountered this strategy before! I'd best consult my Repartee Handbook.

And i'm pointing out a better build. Can't i?

You bothered to make a build without even finding a better solution? All that wasted effort.

Easily - better - than - yours

Case are non factors in PC builds.

You don't work at home either? Company has no budget for PC components? Even without that, a keyboard and mouse, console warriors cingling on this topic as if it make or break the budget

In the meantime, you pay to play online, next gen you'll buy again the fucking patches to bring the games to PS6.

Why would there be a PC "box", pick whatever you want. You act as if the controller is "free", you pay for it, without choice..

Oh you're one to talk. We know what makes your day Chiggs.
