The Blackangel Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I use a PS4 controller for steam games and it works perfectly.

Well I've used this thing for pretty much every applicable game in my Steam, GOG, Origin, Uplay libraries and more and never had any connection or compatibility issues whatsoever. I've seen bundles that include the controller from about £15 to £20 in the UK, it works just like as if it's hard wired. Edited January 9, 2020 by Crazycrab

The only game I play is PRO.

skyfire Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 PC games tend to save more money to be honest. I think console is too much investment.

I'm sorry but that is simply not true. PC's are FAR more expensive than consoles to buy and upgrade and you save next to nothing in the cost of buying games. New releases are maybe £5 to £10 cheaper but useually not even that. The deals you get Steam sales or whatever aren't any better than XBox Live or PSN either, not to mention used games and services like XBox Game Pass. Even if the games were legitimately and consistently cheaper on PC in the current climate of publishers relaying more on recurrent user spending models like DLC and Microtransactions the upfront cost barely matters anyway. In this day and age the only way that PC gaming is cheaper that consoles is if your pirating. Edited January 9, 2020 by Crazycrab kingpotato, Shagger and Executor Akamia 3

Very true, and while I'm a console gamer almost exclusively, you're ignoring the fact that consoles can be pirated and hacked the same as PC's. You can take any recent console and hack the system and install 300+ games on it if you want to, that you never payed for nor will you ever pay for. I usually don't care if it's an old system and the companies have moved on and are no longer making money off of it. But games now in the current systems and the upcoming systems shouldn't be pirated. Whether you're loyal to one platform or another is irrelevant. Pc gamers, play your hardest. Console gamers, play your hardest. Just be fucking honest about it. I hate liars and general dishonesty in all forms. I may be a sociopath, but I won't sugarcoat anything, and I damn sure won't kiss your ass.

Gaming as primary work 3. Streaming. You can't do all of this with the console and it tends to add just dead weight with console. Piracy is hardly an issue these days with the microtransaction sucking the money of people.

Well what you are saying is that PC are better since they can be used for many other things other than gaming, but economically a PC is not cheaper, a brand new console at release can cost anywhere between 300 and 500 dollars, but a PC specifically for gaming can cost you anywhere between 500-1000 dollars if its an already prebuild model (I might be wrong on the price here since I dont know shit about gaming PCs but my point stands). True there are many things a console cannot do that a PC can, but that doesnt make a PC cheaper. And besides Micro transactions are optional while the type of expensive PC needed to play AAA games is not.
The Blackangel Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Around here, good gaming PC's usually run around $1000--$1500. Consoles are a lot cheaper. Also PC's are built and designed to do many different things other than gaming. Whereas consoles, are designed to focus on the game entirely without other distractions. This in my mind makes a console superior to a PC. Edited January 9, 2020 by The Blackangel
