1. The system doesn't need to update for EVERY game, and if you have any clue what you're doing, it does that by itself while in rest mode.
2. Buying a game on disc, at least on PS4, takes about 30 seconds to install.
3. Day 1 patch download typically still takes less time than downloading the entire game off Steam
4. Patches (unless they're absolutely huge) only take a few seconds to install.
5. I've never had any sense of motion sickness due to low fov or motion blur. If you do there's something wrong with your sense of balance.

Counter-points:

I've had the Steam store crash on me several times when making purchases, and even more when just browsing.
There's NO option anymore to buy PC games physically, so you're stuck with an extensive download no matter what.
3. Steam only updates one game at a time when more than one needs it. PS4 can do 3 concurrent downloads without any significant drop of speed.
4. PC games frequently release months after the console version, and they're often inferior ports with terrible optimization.
5. Due to pretty much every PC gamer having different hardware configurations, unless you have a much more powerful PC than you need, getting fluid frame rates and a good resolution can be a bit of a crap shoot. Bought a nice AMD GPU recently? Too bad, the game will only run really smooth on an nVidia GPU. (Yes I have encountered that problem)
6. Crypto farming has still put GPU prices way higher than they need to be, or should be. Want to buy a new, high end card for your rig? Going to cost you more than a new console, maybe as much as two consoles.
7. Have an older PC from some years ago that was really good back then, but want to upgrade? You'll also need to likely buy a new UPS, possibly a new CPU, and likely a new motherboard as well that can support the bandwidth from the GPU and CPU. At that point you may as well buy a whole new rig. You'd likely need more RAM as well.
8. Drivers for everything. New wireless keyboard? Need a new driver. New mouse with more than two buttons? Need a driver. New GPU, same thing. New speakers? Ditto. ETC ETC. Let's not forget that the drivers need updated a lot, but in most cases won't actually update themselves.

Though this does more or less summarize why I'm not much of a PC gamer.

Strategy games frustrate me, sims bore me, WRPG is the glitchest genre of all time, and there's no Mario or Kirby.

what i like about PC gaming is access to electronic board games, indie titles, paradox interactive titles, and firaxis titles.

i've spent 100 hours on mordheim. 125 hours on twilight struggle. 150+ on templar battleforce, 200+ on dungeons of dredmor, 300+ on FTL, 400+ on XCOM/XCOM2/Civ V, 500+ on mount and blade, and 1000+ CKII/EU/Victoria/HOI.

these games aren't particularly graphically intensive. they're not really pushing the hardware. but they're what I want to play.

But ever since I plugged a PC in the living room I was able to convince the wife to cancel Comcast Cable TV since we can just watch anything (and my entire blu-ray collection is ripped onto an external drive so no need to ever get up off the couch).

So I am saving $960 a month, which is enough to buy a PS4, Switch, and Xboxone? >_>

So is that good?

I like PC due to being able to play many generation of games, while PS4 cant play PS3, PS2 and not even PS1 games physical or digital.

Nintendo Switch cant play any previous generations of Nintendo console and handheld games at all be it digital or physical at all. For PC once you buy a game it can be played on Future Pc without repurchasing, while console you cant gain those games next gen or need to repurchase them.

Using mods for A Hate in Time and Sonic Adventure makes the games even more awesome. Sega classic Genesis mods makes the classic games even better.

2. I'll buy more on my hardware for less performance.
3. I'll pay more for games.
4. I like having a smaller library of games
5. I like buying a whole new console every generation.

There are only rumors about it, and Rockstar for some reason is super quiet about everything to everyone and will probably kill any employee that leaks information, so we can only speculate:

Despite based on Euphoria (what ran GTA4), RDR ran on RAGE to try and improve on its less robot like animation from GTA4 and increase quality on those distant beautiful horizons. Its rumored that the code was an utter mess, and an test was made to port RDR, but was deemed it would be too expensive to hire another company to fix it, or worse, take the Rockstar North Team (which we assume at the time was working on GTA5) to fix it.

Honestly, I own a somewhat decent gaming PC and I just play the games I enjoy and that's pretty much it. Trashing other gaming systems or the users of said systems is just petty and childish.

Seeing people Internet fighting because muh console/pc is better than yours is amusing though, I'll admit at least that much >_>;

I forgot about definite edition. I remember Ori and the blind forest was out for PC and then the definite edition came out later on, so those that had the vanilla could buy the definite edition at a discount. Full price was 19.99 while those with the vanilla edition costed 9.99 that is good.

I dont know if that is common or rare for PC, as for console I have no idea.

Wife is playing Chrono Trigger, Daughter is playing Pajama Sam and Strikey Sisters with me :3

I hope Terraforming Mars has all the solo challenges fans made on bgg.com. And hopefully they will use it to balance the game. Doubt i'll get it unless it reaches Galaxy Trucker or Through the Ages levels of content. And I don't have Twilight Struggle online yet :( The only times I can play for 1+ hour stretches at a time are Tuesday afternoons.

But on topic, yeah, at least here on CE, PC gamers can be just as insufferable as the circumcision debate. Like why are you so invested in what platform people play games on/ some other guy's dick?

True there are games on PC with bad frame rate and poorly ported like YS Viii, which luckily got fixed. But there are games that run worse on console like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1. Console runs at 30FPS with lower resolution or graphics, while PC is 60FPS with higher graphics.

Some games are made better on PC with better optimization, while the reverse is true sometime console has better optimization and runs better.

I dont know about Windows Store, never used it at all but Steam you can play and buy games from any generation of games available.

Console has 0% BC, except Xbox One which has BC.

Console has 0% BC minus Xbox One.
My PS3 is BC to PS1. My 360 is BC to some Xbox games. My Xbox1 is BC to 360 games. Wii and Wii U VC both have BC games, as well as Wii U having GBA games that I can now play with my GC w/o my GC/Gameboy player combo. Not to mention games from other consoles that are available on PS3, 360 and Xbox 1 to download.

I'm not sure what this propaganda about consoles not being BC comes from other than disgruntled PC gamers.

That is my fault I should have been more specific, current gen console except for Xbox One has no BC.

PS4 = No BC at all
Nintendo Switch = No BC at all
Xbox One and its remodel or enhanced version = Yes BC
PC = Yes BC.

Nintendo and Sony both abandoned BC.
