While I've never been a PC gamer, that is completely false. The visuals on PC are damn insane, especially when modding is introduced for games that otherwise aren't pretty.

The change in graphics and framerate from a modern console to a PC has never been justifiable for me in price, that's why I never made the change. I just flat out don't care about graphics being at peak quality, a fun game is a fun game regardless of how it looks. I don't need anything higher than 60 FPS.

It's not about one game. It's about playing nearly every multiplatform game (there are some poorly optimized exceptions) with smoother framerates, better visuals, more choice in what controllers you want to use, no additional cost to play online, community mods, and probably a number of other things I'm forgetting.

1. Games look and run better on pc than console 99% of the time

2. Nowadays most games that are "console exclusive" just end up on pc too

3. For online games WAY lower chance of running into wifi warriors

4. You technically never have to buy another game again so you make your money back eventually tbh

a lot of games that come out on pc dont come out on console, or do not without their full functionality. microsoft has been changing that somewhat over the past gen, but there's still a big gap

also fps with kb+m will always be better than controller

A $2000 PC is going to future proof it so that it will run every current gen game better than the consoles for the entire generation, and possibly be better than the PS6.

So it's not a matter of which game right now is worth it, it's which games in the next 10+ years are worth it, and I'm sure there will be a ton.

Lol, that isn't true and you know it. I was still using my 2500k CPU (released in 2011) up until a few months ago and it gave me literally double the performance of a PS4. 60FPS is considered the minimum of what constitutes a "good" framerate on PC.

But anyway I'd want a monster PC for Total War games, they're very demanding due to their nature. Rendering thousands of individual models at once all fighting and pathfinding isn't easy to do.

Nothing. You don't need to pay near that amount to get the most out of games. None of the games are really pushing limits currently and new console hardware is going to ensure that we aren't going to be seeing that any time soon.

It's a hobbyist thing when you spend that much.

There are plenty of things out there that offer similar things at different price points. Whether or not the premium is worth it depends on what you're looking for.

While PS5 and XBOX are impressive, you can make a $2000 PC that's better than the next 2 generations probably. But the thing to consider here is that I bet you the console generation will last like 7-10 years this time around, tho PS and Xbox consoles tend to just be a flat power upgrade so maybe not. You might think it's expensive but at the same time, you either spend the next 10 years enjoying games at max power or... you wait 7-10 years so that maybe a console will be at a competitive power to a PC.

I didn't really get it at first but when I finally built one and saw it effortlessly just crank up the quality to a level PS5/XBOX can't even remotely reach, I finally understood. Also it's very easy to have 2 screens to watch Youtube or Netflix on one and play games on the other, and you can't really do that on a console that easily, unless you watch through a small phone screen or you have a laptop then the costs rack up.

How long do you think console generations last?

Games are also built FOR consoles. Theres never a doubt that theyll run the games. (Cyberpunk is not a good example and thats why people have a right to be upset)
