Literally the 360 interface was so easy to use. Now its like fuck me theres just so much garbage when I sign in.

I just wanna be able to sign in, play my game and thats it. Or if I wanna explore shit I dont wanna be greeted with like a thousand useless tiles. I just wanna be able to easily find Xbox live arcade games like Bomberman and indie titles like I used to be able to do back in the day.

I agree, the X1 has an extremely poor UI, and incredibly bloated installs that fill a 500gb hard drive in no time.

It's still my pick of this generation home consoles, great exclusives, plus multiplats and backward compatibility.

Why would you get an Xbox when PC exists?
There's like 1 Xbox game that anyone wants and it's obviously coming to PC eventually.

Wanted to get a Switch but couldn't justify the $300 asking price (and that is without an SD card wtf?)
And the controller is $70 lmfao?

I thought the same thing when I got mine last year, you get used to is. When you first turn on you xbox if you scroll down to My games and apps you can access your games somewhat quickly. I just use the home button for everything, the main menu is too cluttered with ads. I think Mixer is for video editing, community is like a bad message board, gamepass is useful if you have the service, but the list leads a lot to be desired.

Exclusive to game consoles. I haven't built a gaming computer since 1999. I only keep a 12-year-old PC for mailing invoices.

Why would I want to spend a kilobuck building a gaming computer that will be obsolete as soon as I put the last screw in the case, when I can buy a $150 used console that's good for years?

I loved my Xbox 360. Played on it every single day.
My Xbox One on the other hand, is mostly just collecting dust.

But I mostly blame that on the games themselves this generation. So many hyped up games that end up being really disappointing...

That's really only true if you're trying to build a top-of-the-line computer, and even then the only thing that means is that your computer is no longer top-of-the-line. You'll still be just as capable of playing everything you wanted to play when you built it, as well as everything to come out for a good, long while. I built mine in 2011, and the only parts I've replaced are the GPU and PSU (the new GPU needed a stronger one), and even that was mostly because the GPU I started with was on the lower-end side because I'd actually bought it to add to my old prebuilt (but then it didn't fit).

That's not how it works. Gaming computers can last for years and really the only thing that would even need to be replaced if you want to stay active in PC gaming is the graphics card.

To add to this:
1. New consoles are released every 5-7 years usually, so about the time you might have to upgrade your PC. (This isn't including mid-gen upgrades such as PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, New 3DS, etc.)
2. PC usually has better digital sales than console counterparts.
3. You don't pay for online on top of your internet connection on PC.
4. Due to steps 2 and 3, you will most likely save more money in the long run compared to consoles.

The only huge cost is the initial cost of building a PC. But even them that's not much more than consoles when there have been consoles that have launched at $500-600... <_<

Depends. I mean Switch was only $300. And online for a year is $20. Which is pretty cheap. But they are different since they have mostly exclusives. For the others, it depends. Sure, you have to pay a good amount for online. If you want online. Though, they can help you get certain games for free and discounts on lots of other ones. But she was saying to buy a used consoles. Which would probably be much cheaper than building a PC. As for the sales, steam has good sales (because they understand that digital and physical shouldnt cost the same amount), but thats usually after a little while. If Im getting a game when it comes out, then the sale prices wouldnt matter.

But it all depends...

Consoles do work every time you ask them to. It's a different situation than 'beginner mode' on PC's. Steam trying to make it easier for you essentially takes over the library before dropping its payload.

We've been through this before. Steam users will never know they are wrong. Like Hillary supporters. Simple, stubborn, ignorant.

Yes, that is my point (you're exaggerating because console failures do happen, but we'll ignore that). How can the simpler, more reliable option not be considered the "beginner mode" option when compared to a system where the user periodically has to jump through hoops to get stuff working?

aren't most of them available on pc? not really exclusive

Exclusive to game consoles. I haven't built a gaming computer since 1999. I only keep a 12-year-old PC for mailing invoices.

Why would I want to spend a kilobuck building a gaming computer that will be obsolete as soon as I put the last screw in the case, when I can buy a $150 used console that's good for years?


I haven't read all of the topic, but you do know that it's not true anymore, right?

Like I built a slightly budget gaming PC in 2011 which was able to play most games on decent framerate without any upgrades until I decided to finally upgrade the GFX card that was bottle necking the PC in 2014, and that PC lasted me until I lost it to ex-wife in 2016. I probably still could a lot of the newer games on it, and if it couldn't, it most likely wouldn't take much of an upgrade.

Most experts agree that we're at the point where upgrading often isn't necessary at all.
