Steam's refund program is the best in gaming which is a big perk on PC. I've never understood buying a game if you're just going to sell it. If that's the case, you might as well sub to Game Pass. Also, if you buy a prebuilt pc, there's nothing any more difficult about the setup than a console. Nor is there any compatibility guess work. It's not difficult to figure out what a suitable gaming pc is for what you kind of experience you want.

@1403coltsfan 9 дней назад

Honestly, to provide a bit of contrast to this comment section, let me speak as someone who built a $3,500 PC back in 2021 and just bought an Xbox series X for $330 during their winter sale last year. PC setup was over $5,000 if you include the two monitors, desk, and chair. I put a 3080ti and ryzen 7 5900x in my rig. For me personally, I love my gaming PC. But when you can get a console that plays games at 120 fps for $350-$550 it truly does make a PC a very hard sell. The current generation of consoles competes so well with a nice PC for such a fraction of the cost that it’s honestly astounding. Pair it with a a 120-144 refresh rate monitor and you can rarely and barely tell the difference between my pc and the series x. Also, while tinkering is a plus when it’s fun. Having to diagnose and tweak settings to figure out why a game is running like crap on my $3,500 PC is not fun at all. It’s annoying and irritating as hell when I just wanna play the damn game. Not sift through settings menus and check temps etc. I turn on the Xbox, I boot up a game, the game plays perfectly. Every. Single. Time. The consistency of that is truly valuable and I would argue a big con to PC gaming. I love both. But honestly speaking, I’d rather just buy a series x or PS5, pair it with a gaming monitor then get a $300-$400 laptop for work if I were buying again today.

@kingwalz 3 дня назад

@josef689 2 дня назад

I completely agree with you, I didn’t have a PC as expensive as yours, but it was around $1000, so I expected to be able to run all games just fine, I was wrong, I had to tweak the settings to get the games working, at the end I spent more time changing the settings and looking for the issue my pc was having than actually playing games. I also ended up buying an Xbox Series X, I was instantly happy with my decision, never had any problems again. Console is just SO MUCH BETTER in that regard, all you have to do is turn it on and play, you don’t have to change any settings, on 95% of the games you pretty much have a locked 60fps, and 120 in competitive games, which in my opinion is more than enough. My favorite things about consoles are: -Having no problems when playing games and not having to tweak settings -Having all your games at one place and not having 10 different launchers like pc does 😂 -Price to performance I don’t see myself going back to pc in the near future unless both PlayStation and Microsoft mess up hugely on their next consoles.

have a Switch and have a PC, like... as far as I'm concerned, as long as you know what you are getting into, and you are making the choice for the right reasons, more power to you. I don't like people that are just "Console better." no PC is better from an objective standpoint, but that doesn't mean that a console can't fill a specific need. if what you get with a PC is not needed, and you just want to play (approved) games and watch Netflix or CR, then get a console. if you like the idea of game pass get an xBox, if you like the features of PlayStation then get that. if you want portability get a switch, it doesn't matter. a PC will get you further, but a console isn't a bad choice at the end of the day if all you want to do is play video games and watch netflix.

I've had computers since the ZX Spectrum days. I also had consoles, NES, Mega Drive, Sega Saturn. They are all computers. The console is a very specialized computer for playing games. PCs are very versatile machines where you can do everything you can do digitally. You can play video games, develop software like Operating Systems (even those for consoles), games for PC, consoles and smartphones. Basically everything that exists in digital format was produced using a computer (PC). PC is the architect of the digital world...

@Svante 7 дней назад

I got a gaming PC with a RTX 2080 card, and a PS5. I play much more on the PS5, since I just wanna game, and nothing else. And it's such a streamlined experience, not having to worry about the hardware specs and settings. Before I got the PS5, I was thinking of upgrading the PC, but it's just to damn expensive now, and TOO ME, it's not worth the money. Back in 2015, when I built my PC (which had a GTX 980 originally), I basically payed, what a RTX4080 card costs today, for the entire computer build. And before the GPU prices went insane, I actually did recommend to my friends to move over to PC. But with today's prices? Hell no. If high end GPU prices goes down again, in the future, then I might go back to gaming full time, on PC again. But I fear that the prices will just keep on getting worse...

All the games I play don't even need you to buttom map as games with controller support is plug and play. Games without controller support on Steam will automatically keybind the most popular binding to your controller so you can play the games without binding them yourself. Emulation is also a one time setup and you can use BigBox app to launch games and emulators using your gamepad too on the sofa and it just works.

However i do agree with the other IT people in the comments about the convenience of a console vs fixing PC issues just to get it to work. My relative built my personal gaming PC last year but didn't choose compatible parts which i just discovered recently. Been dealing with crashing issues, boot loops, random reboots, freezing, performance issues and ive been researching/tinkering for a whole damn year. It got so bad to where i switch to my PlayStation or Xbox occasionally because of the issues I've been dealing with.

I moved from console to PC in late 2015. Bought a Costco HP tower with a 6700 and put a 970 and PSU in it. The itch started. Realized I wanted a full custom PC so I restored the HP back to stock, returned it, and built one myself. The itch grew. Built a friend a photo editing PC that can play games. That turned into a few more friends wanting me to build them one. Nine years and at least two dozen builds later, PC building is a passion of mine. And Jay's channel is, in part, to thank for that.

I literally just built my 5 year old nephew a basic gaming PC for Minecraft(Classic Cube on Linux so no MS account needed) out of an HP e-waste system with an Intel Core i7-2600s, 16GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB SSD, and an old AMD R7 350 2GB GPU I had in the parts bin doing nothing, so for his age and the basic game he plays it does fine on a 1080p 75hz monitor, even if I have to drop it down to 720p in game, as he's happy as can be.

Some things that weren't mentioned: - modding on PC is quite big - on consoles, you have to pay extra for basic stuff like playing online or backing up your saves

@ManomiiFox Месяц назад

also, internet/multiplayer is free on pc.

@RyuuMurasaki Месяц назад

Not to Mention that some Mods for example Skyrim/Minecraft, actually cost money on Console while being free on PC and in most cases even look better.

Also I feel like the games last longer and are actually around to build communities. I’m still playing arma 3 today and that game is over 13 years old.

@CancerFreeCody Месяц назад

Forgot to mention that for every 1 or 2 games that come out on console, there is about 15 that come out on PC. And a large amount of games on PC can be modded and tweeked into anything you want.

@bobbygetsbanned6049 Месяц назад

Yeah but most people don't even use PCs anymore, so building a whole PC that cost 3x what a console does makes no sense for those people.

Great neutral video! For me its also about what game I'm about to play. For example I would hate playing fps on console. Some I had to play on console (hale 1-3 for example). But then I'd much rather play a rpg on console i my couch on a big screen with amazing surround (yes you can get that for a p as well, but it doesn't feel the same for me) so I have to go with both. PS5, SWICH & PC. You are spot on on xbox thou... I don't see any reason to buy one anymore. As always keep up the great work. I love your videos

"Don't hook up your PC to a TV" - and here's me with a 42" LG C3 that is a superior display to any monitor I've previously owned and costs less. Unless you play competitive esports and/or FPS games you don't need a 240Hz + monitor.

I think it depends on your setup no? If I had a PC in my living room I'd for sure get a TV like that for it, but for at my desk anything more than like 27-32" is waaaayyy too big imo

@cvddl3s Месяц назад

The only reason I'm considering ps5 for fps is to avoid cheaters on pc. This years cod release on pc has been absolute helllll. You can barely play ranked (in any rank) without coming against cheaters if your hidden mmr is higher than norm. I get a 1.2kd in ranked yet still see a .60wl thanks to me and my team losing pivotal moments to wall hacks. Far less cheaters on console with crossplay off.

@Overminder Месяц назад

And it's not just the big titles. Especially smaller ones with barely any players can be unplayable as every multiplayer you join has cheaters/bots that may even corrupt your save and the publishers/developers don't care at all. Then the moment you switch to console it's like a complete different game with things working as intended.

@Navi_Silver Месяц назад

I own a pc but at the same time I own an Xbox because I don't have choice if I want to go on gta online. Pc version is full of modders and cheaters and I'm not up to spend countless hours when everything is obtainable in a matter of hours.

Good luck with that. Disabling cross play on certain games on console can make the matchmaking process take significantly longer.

As a kid I loved consoles and when the Iphone came out, I loved jailbreaking and fixing other peoples busted jailbroken Ipods. I always told myself I would never be smart enough to be a computer engineer, but after watching tech channels like yours, I realized my passion for computers and have been pursuing a career in Computer Science ever since

@MainBrainDaneInsane Месяц назад

What I'm considering with some seriousness is a handheld device like the Steam Deck, or Lenovo Legion Go if I ever wanted to get away from traditional pc gaming. Basically 'downsize' so I'm no longer locked to one room, but still have access to my substantial Steam game library. But there's truth to the tinkering aspect. I love my pc and doing work on it. Keep having to tell myself it's not a need, but a want to add more to the water loop. I feel it's the same mindset people who spend their days tinkering on their cars. You can buy a Lambo, or you could mess around with your Civic and see how far it can be pushed.

@erickfuga Месяц назад

I became a software engineer out of a passion for building my gaming PC back when I was 10. My mom always motivated that because she knew it could lead to a career. We didn't have money to purchase parts, so I started fixing PCs to make my builds, and one thing led to another. I also know people who have been in a similar situation. I often talk to parents who are afraid of the PC hobby, and I always tell them to direct their kids. Of course, as anything, it can become a bad thing. But if a kid is properly directed, a silly hobby can expand a myriad of career possibilities a few years later. The possibilities a PC brings, the curiosity it attracts, and the problem-solving skills you have to develop, are things that cannot be neglected. On the other hand, a console is obviously just a console. Anyways, I haven't played a single game for years now, but I still have a custom PC and refuse to work on laptops. I guess the passion is still there. Edit: your channel has a great part on that. So thank you!
