If I had to choose I would go for PC. Cause I love how I can play games online for free without paying for a subscription.
I love how I can mod my games like GTA v.
I also use my PC for starting up my business and doing zoom classes and meetings.
So PC would be for me.

I always say this for people who talk about the price. A console is cheaper short term and a PC is cheaper long term.

Want to know the best part? A part in my PC died, but I'm not forced to go out and get a brand new PC as I can still technically use my PC in it's current state, or since it is so modular, I can swap out the part

Consoles i like the fact im playing other people using the same system as me, So its a even playing field oh and less likely to face cheaters since i stay away from crossplay.

Listen, I love PC. I just built a new one and I love it. I put an RTX 4080 and an i5 14600K with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 4TB SN850X m.2 SSD in mine. I say all of that to say, I LOVE PC. However, it is not even close to being as affordable as console. Even if you don’t go all out, if you’re buying new parts, you will never be able to build a PC that gets similar performance as a current-gen console for the same price. It just won’t happen. PC is for those of us who love gaming to the point that we are willing to spend extra for the great gaming experience! It’s not a smart option at all for people who just care about playing the newest games. There are a lot of benefits to PC (such as the indie marketplace), but it’s simply not cheaper.

I can’t imagine playing Skyrim without slapping a thick layer of 900+ mods on top that make it run, look, and play better than any Triple A title. God bless for PC gaming.

I will say, i do miss not being obsessed with hardware. Since building a PC in 2017, i have become obsessed with all the new goodies. I kind of miss the mindless bliss of consoles.

im the type of person to play pc with a controller

If my “friends” tell me that I break off the relationship

[nfius]

Well, on console I have to fucking pay for a subscription just to play a multiplayer game I already paid for $60

[lolcat]

one thing I love about PC is that "generations" don't exist. you don't need leftovers in the form of remasters and ports you can just play some of the oldest games just like that

[vassillios]

Nice job with the loop. Well done sirs

[ryanmalik]

Have both, and actually i enjoy play in console. But in some case i more enjoy play in PC, because i can alt+tab, listen music, join voice chat discord, gaming and do work at one device, and play YouTube or Googling when gaming.

When you have long holiday console really become your best friend. But when your already have tight schedule for work and little time for gaming PC will help in this case.

Why do people still complain about drivers lol? Not only will most software automatically notify you, you can go months without updating and still be fine! I hung back on an old nvidia driver because newer ones introduced a bug and stayed on it for about six months until it was fixed, no issues.

As a user of a console and a PC, I would say that typically a gaming PC would be a much better gaming device than a console.

Your PS5 might be cool and all but can it do THIS?

Let’s be fair. You can build an equivalent spec machine if you buy some used parts and know what you’re doing. You’re not going to Best Buy and leaving with a PS5 killer for $500. You don’t build/buy a pc because you want a console experience. It’s because you want more. Part of building a PC is the building, optimizing, tuning, upgrading, and maintaining of it. You buy a PS5 to go when you open it and never think about it again. It’s like a tv. It’s there and you appreciate it, but your relationship is that you just use it.

While I play on all platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC), I main Xbox, personally. It's the most comfortable gaming space/community and it's where I have the most games at.

Every platform has its advantages and disadvantages. The "best platform" will *always* be the space a given Gamer prefer to play at. There is no logic in debating this.
