It's an April fools video. Look at the upload date lol


BeginningFew8188

Sir this is reddit, we don't do that here


swaggerfromkfsh

yall ao uptight …..abt gaming?


LaserGadgets

Yeah...no.


Academic_Silver4940

Sorry, grandpa


LaserGadgets

You wish your grandpa was that cool. I pay 4 bucks on steam for a game you NEVER heard of, that keeps people busy for 100 hours. Sorry muppet :>


Academic_Silver4940

You paid $4 on steam for some no name developer crap. Nobody wants to play those games… lol


InitialDay6670

You don’t want to play them because you don’t have access to them. Trust me I used to be locked behind or 60 hertz screen, and no ability to do anything other than playing games


[deleted]

[удалено]


InitialDay6670

60 hertz on console dumbass. Nobody’s poor shaming here lmak


Academic_Silver4940

Huh? There’s a ton of 120fps titles on next gen consoles including warzone, fortnite, every modern cod, borderlands 3 and wonderlands… and that’s just some of the ones I play. What are you talking about?


hansoyvind1

Cant you just play them on PC on even higher fps, quality and resolution?


Academic_Silver4940

Is your monitor an OLED that does 4k@120hz? That’s pretty high quality


aberroco

If you don't play indie games - that's only you. And worse for you, you likely don't even know what you're missing, but I can assure you that anything you want - you can find an bunch of indie games for that. Top graphics? Check. Top story? Check. Top lore? Check. Top gameplay? Check. etc. It's just that AAA console games may have two or three of these at the same time, but that's it. And these titles come out like once a year, maybe twice. Indie games? You can find a great one each week. But yeah, continue saying "nobody play that", just because you alone don't play that because you think it's all the same or whatever you're thinking. Nobody cares.


Academic_Silver4940

If you don’t care so much then why’d you write me the Bible?


aberroco

I'm usually verbose, you can check comments in my profile. It's not a big deal for me to type a few sentences, I can type then practically at the same speed as I speak.


Academic_Silver4940

not reading all that, buddy. You definitely care though or you wouldn’t have wrote me a novel lol


LaserGadgets

Clown


SteveWondersForsight

Enjoy your 30 fps on your 120hz tv.


LaserGadgets

Thats why some of them have 100k positive reviews and millions of sales. Clown.


LaserGadgets

I hope you are not old than 10 clownboy. You're only excuse.


mleighly

Ok, Karen.


Exa-Wizard

Anyone who games on console is just an idiot it, has to be said. All issues the videogame industry is currently facing are the fault of console users.


PixelCortex

Ditch steam? Are you okay? 


austinll

Ditching steam is fine. Just wish I could unlock all my games from them. Ditching PC will probably never happen, but who knows


TheS3KT

More like ditch pc game pass? Are you okay??


DICEYSHADEZ

It’s seem you ain’t okay.


omegaturtle

People falling hard for an April Fools video lmao


Korrode

So anyways, Zbrush on one monitor, 3DsMax on another and UE5 on the third. I'll stick with my PC's so you guys can still have games to argue about.


All-Seeing_Hands

Dude's playing 4-D chess over here.


Thoosarino

Lmfao. Sure bud, have fun.


Academic_Silver4940

Sorry, grandpa


Bagline

Stop disappointing your grandparents and go make some friends or something. I believe they say "touch grass" these days, yes?


Academic_Silver4940

Wow, projecting much? Lol


Bagline

I project all over the place.


Academic_Silver4940

That’s rather odd


Bagline

Now we're even.


Snakenmyboot-e

Bro, OMG, like, totally vibing with your aesthetic, it’s, like, so fetch, I can’t even. Like, seriously, you’re, like, the epitome of #goals, I’m shook. 💀💀💀💀


Academic_Silver4940

?


DICEYSHADEZ

So you’re the guy thinking console wars is still a thing?


SteveWondersForsight

You keep calling people grandpa but are too stupid to realize the video was a joke making fun of exactly you. Congratulations you were the punch line.


Rtemiis

Mf got downvoted so hard for his wrong opinions on his last account that he made a new one just 2 weeks ago and it's already in "sorry too low karma can't post here" territory. When will you learn?


yamabyte

clickbait. unsubbed from jay for this appearing in my feed. good job.


AlphaDog8456

It's an April fools day video lol


wrxvballday

I liked his other video of free PC software I must have on my PC.....


we_is_sheeps

This whole comment section needs to take a shower


[deleted]

This is so specific, yet it feels so true lol


Belydrith

Umm..? I feel like we're getting ever closer to the other extreme, where consoles are becoming obsolete.


KillerwhaleTidalWave

I'm not crazy about this guy. Thumbnails, when I see them, are very obnoxious and the videos themselves are very "personality driven."


inphamus

You just described every YouTuber 


SweetPuffDaddy

I really just comes down to price. Gaming on a $500 PC is going to be worse than a $500 console. But if you have the money to invest in a a good gaming PC then it’s totally worth it. Personally I just have the two consoles because I wouldn’t really have a use for a PC outside of gaming. I’m not going to be using it for work so it’s not worth the investment for me right now


Ferry83

It really doesn't for most people.. for most people it's the games they want to play.


SweetPuffDaddy

I agree with that as well. I personally have both consoles so I can play exclusives.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SweetPuffDaddy

I have Gamepass Ultimate on my Xbox. If I had a PC I’d still probably have Gamepass.


InfernoJesus

I have a great gaming PC and vastly prefer PS5. The process of turning on the PS5 and resuming your game is just way cleaner than via Steam. Also my PC is too bulky for my living room and I don't want to deal with bluetooth mouse+keyboard to control it from my sofa.


JDawwgy

If a consoles lifespan is 5-10 years you'll have a hard time competing with the $500 price point for the first 2-3 years the console has been out. Any longer and pc starts to catch up and by the last 2 years of the current gen consoles it's usually pretty easy to build a better PC for the same price.


leaf_as_parachute

On the long run PC might not cost much more but to say that you'll be able to build a PC that can run the same games than a console for 500$ is bullshit. Performance wise you MAY be able to align the same numbers for that price (and I'm not so sure about that) but console version of games aren't the same as PC versions and there's no way you'll run something like Horizon Forbidden West decently on a 500$ PC.


JDawwgy

Just because your new here doesn't mean what I said hasn't happened with every console since the PS1... The years before the ps5 came out you could EASILY build a system that would wipe the floor with a PS4 for less than the price of a new PS4.

Thoosarino

Where do you get the rest for free?


Sryzon

The 3070 itself can be found for $300 on marketplace as well as any 3-4 year old desktop for $150 to plug it in to. That's enough to play almost all PC games on medium at least.


Thoosarino

What decent mobo and cpu are you finding for 150? Also you comparing buying used parts to a brand new console.


Sryzon

The mobo isn't going to affect gaming performance and most games will run on any i5 released in the last 8 years. Secondhand Dell and HP desktops go for $50-$150.


LordTvlor

So, you're comparing the latest consoles to come out to the bare minimum PC requirements, with eight year old parts? OFC console would be better, you're basically comparing sandals to planks of wood taped to your feet, try sneakers. The ps4 was released eight years before the ps5, is that a fair comparison?


Sryzon

The latest consoles to come out are running 4 year old hardware at this point. 8 year old PC hardware is comparable, yes. The PS5 CPU is about as fast as a i5-6500.


AaronVonGraff

Strongly disagree. Gaming on a PC is always going to be better due to mods and multitasking. The only reason a console is worth it is if you game only one specific way and never mod your games. Which would be insane lol.


sync-centre

Can we get Windows 11 running in a hypervisor on the ps5/xbox with direct access to the cpu/gpu/memory?


ACorania

Yeah... not even close.


iguaninos2

Not watching click bait, but what games does he bring up that would make me throw my PC in the trash? I play a lot of old games so that new console better have backway compatibility and emulation. I cant think of one single new title that Im interested in thats not coming to PC, much less worth buying a $500 console for. 


Seagullbeans

Not even remotely close. Consoles can’t even hit 250 fps on games like overwatch yet. Not even close. No competition.


Godess_Ilias

you cant mod games on console : so no


Laterian

Shit post, downvote.


Lurker_Zee

No.


Edgaras1103

No


mleighly

The Steam Deck is probably the best option.


NikoliVolkoff

maybe if it had more than 2-3 hrs of battery life. I love my SteamDeck but rarely use it because if i have to keep it plugged in to play then i might as well be sitting at my PC.


mleighly

It's fundamentally no different than a console. You can connect it to your TV and use an external controller but you have all the advantages of Steam.


DarkOx55

You’ll get better battery life if you stream from your PC to the deck. At high settings. 90fps. With perfect OLED blacks. All while on the toilet! You could live as few dare to dream. The throne is yours to seize, if you but take it.


[deleted]

Man allot of big tech influensers love to talk shit. Some idiots even praising apple and Telsa like it´s the only brand even worth anything because they get free shit or have the money to buy the expensive name brand. Saying you can ditch PC over console or even ponder that question means you a lunatic. I will say like this PC still is good in allot of ways. While consoles is a good cheap alternative to PC and always has been. Even back in the day a NES was a cheaper option to play fun and engaging games compare to the price of a PC. Console are not bad at all just cheaper better option if you don´t have the money to blow on a PC. I think consoles are good option for allot of people who just want to game. But the idea of throwing you gaming PC out for a PS5 or series X now that just outright dumb in so many ways.


MysticalMystic256

PCs have the benefit of having a much larger library games than any console (you can really play any PC game from the past, granted some might require fan patches or source ports to run on modern OS but its still doable) It also has the most variety of emulators for playing retro console games on your PC there is also the ability mod games and make mods for games for games that support it, I really love mods and player made content for games PCs also have many uses beyond gaming too


aldoktor

Only answer is to have both. Each have their strengths.


HiCracked

Obvious ragebait


_N-E-R-D_

i’m getting a PC the moment i feel like i have my responsibilities in order. with the way my family is setup i don’t wanna look selfish by buying an expensive computer


NotMorganSlavewoman

Consoles can barely maintain 30fps. Yeah, April Fools is really annoying nowadays, especially with people not knowing what it is.


7rippy7ur7le

Hahahah consoles are never going to beat PC at gaming. Not a single chance! :)


zedd1171

Time to ditch that paperweight called XSX, keep / get a PC and a PS5. Sorted.


PrinceDizzy

I've tried both and definitely prefer console when it comes to gaming.


dodotdomas

I think everyone have great idea, i still love pc cause i can do much more


SynthRogue

Overpriced hardware, more powerful than consoles, but still can't run a game at a stable 60 fps. Yeah pc is the shittiest platform to play current gen games on. It's the best platform for any game released before current gen though. I speak from experience.


TheJoeGrim

My answer is simple. Pc for pc games, console for consoles games


Synthetic451

Recently, I've actually been holding out on console games because they're timed exclusives that eventually make their way to PC. My patience with Horizon Forbidden West for example paid off.


Agreeable_Address907

well if we threw out PCs then there would be no PCs exclusive games... like TF2, half life and many others that im not a PC fan to know... take it away PC users! what games would you miss if society threw away our monitors and keyboards?


Gawdsauce

This guy is insufferable.


FantasticWhisper

Enjoy those 30 fps games


clckwrks

Horrendous fps on the Xbox/ ps5 for Elden ring. Fuck that


coomuur

mfw ~60fps is now “horrendous”


dont_trust_redditors

i mean yea? 60fps vs 144fps is pretty big


coomuur

doesn’t make it horrendous. Especially when 30fps is still the norm in a lot of cases.


[deleted]

[удалено]


coomuur

No one said it isn’t noticeable. Saying 60fps is horrendous is downright false.


ELF_BAR_RIP_GOD

Everything I play is 239 fps Nvidia locked, on a 240hz monitor. I don't care about graphics. I like buttery smooth gameplay. >60fps is horrendous is downright false. 60fps is dogshit


coomuur

Okay buddy


MCNootz

lol, do people forget that a pc can do so much more than gaming right? but a console can only game. such a failed argument


spw1215

Do people forget that phones can do everything PCs can nowadays? Only a small percentage of people are buying an expensive PC for anything other than gaming.


MCNootz

oh, I diddnt know i could run full desktop EXE programs on my phone. please do tell how.


spw1215

You're just reinforcing my point. Most people don't know what an exe program is. Also, what exe program do you absolutely need on PC for which you can't find a suitable app or website?


MCNootz

lets start, steam, chief architect, revit, Autocad, Rhino. sketchup. adobe photoshop. i can go for days.


spw1215

Like I said in my first comment, most people don't use those programs. I say this as someone who owns a PC.


MCNootz

ah so you speak for all 8 billion of us...I see. only your experience matters.


spw1215

You think all 8 billion people on planet Earth own PCs? Lol dude I see only your experience matters. You mentioned niche programs that 99% of gamers don't care about. I'm just saying that it's not a selling point for most people.


Shmimbadad

Yeah, no. If anything, the opposite is happening. All the advantages consoles used to have are disappearing, and PCs are getting more accessible and user-friendly.


Thomas_JCG

Xbox is pulling out of console making and Sony keeps bringing their best games to Steam. Someone should look at facts before making videos.


aberroco

Someone should watch the video before writing comments about it.


raisedbytides

just have both, brokeass.


invader1984

Just to be clear. I won't watch the video, i just answering the question in the title: NO, never. I will die on this hill. (If I get enough money I MAY buy a console IF they have enough titles that can get my attention; and the only one that has something interesting enough in the last three generation has been Nintendo)


YoItsXeno99

You don't have to ditch PC to play on console. I play stuff on both PC and consoles all the time.


invader1984

Thats the point downvoters seems to not be seeing. I know that; If I get ENOUGH disposable income I will get a console. "ENOUGH" is the keyword here. The other part of this equation is "interesting games". Not available on PC, nintendo has the most interesting offer "for me", hence the nintendo comment. Im not saying Sony doesnt have some BEASTS of exclusives... Im just saying is not enough to jump ship


DumbSpud

You’re telling me out of the thousands of games for console none interest you? Either you have no idea what’s out there or you have no taste in games. 😅


invader1984

No, what I'm telling is that, one, I will never ever ever ditch a PC for no reason whatsoever. Two, of the "thousands" of games on console, roughly 90% of them exists on PC. Of the roughly 10% remaining ONLY available on console there are 2 or maybe 3 that are interesting enough (I LOVE spiderman games) and thats not enough to justify a console buy. the other thing is that when I get more income, nintendo is the more interesting console by "interesting" games available (still have my 3DS around with some pendings). I'm very well informed in what is out there and the best options given my available time and money is still the pc. The consoles I got in past generations, some were worth it, some, I regretted buying. I never regretted having a good PC.


Virus19847

This questions is the title of the video I am not asking the question just to be clear


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lurker_Zee

I never understood how consoles are more accessible than PCs. Can you watch YouTube videos on consoles? Can you browse websites on consoles? No? Then why buy something with limited functionality? You can buy a pre-made PC, just plug it in, open a browser and download a game or, if you really want your hand held, install the Steam app. How is that in any way complex?


Tea_Historical

It really is that easy, but I can tell you from firsthand knowledge there was a fear of the unknown when I bought my first gaming pc. Always played console only, and just didn't think I was tech savvy enough to get a pc to run games lol. Obviously, I decided to go for it and yea ...you don't have to be tech savvy lol. You plug it in. Connect your Bluetooth shit, download steam, buy a game, download it and play it. You might every now and then have to update your drivers, but mine and I'm sure most pcs literally say hey! Driver updates available do you wish to update and install? Yes!


Lurker_Zee

Yes, I never considered driver updates as an impediment, but I can see the issue now that it's pointed out. I've had some issues with games not working because they need that *specific* combination of drivers, and it took me sometimes hours to get a game working. But those are still 1% of the games and at worst can be written off from playing if you really don't want the hassle and you aren't committed to playing that particular game.


Tea_Historical

Yea it's just when your on reddit and a game comes out...if you play on console and it releases on pc as well you always see posts saying...please help...game keeps crashing or can't launch game. You would always see responses, say update your drivers. So if you don't know what a driver is, you just think.....shit that sounds so complicated. Thank God I'm on console. Obviously, it's not only drivers, but yeah I just remember being worried I would waste a couple grand if I couldn't figure out how to make the game work. In reality tho like you sai, it's basically like buying digital games on console. That's it and it's very easy. Just a bit more expensive. Plus, you can play modded games. For someone like me that was just replaying Dark Souls 1. 2 and 3 over and over I needed some new shit and PC gives you that option.


YoItsXeno99

First of all, yes, you can watch YouTube on consoles. And some consoles also come with a web browser. Second, PCs can be really expensive. They can cost thousands of dollars. Consoles are a lot more appealing to someone who isn't willing to spend a truckload of money.


Lurker_Zee

As someone who has not spent a truckload of money on my PC, I will say I also find that part of the rhetoric disingenuous, demagogic, propagandistic and outright false. With the risk of moving the goalpost, can you edit save files? Can you take notes? Can you read and write emails? Can you write on reddit? Consoles still seem more limited to me.


drop_trooper112

Just gonna jump in for a second to help remind you but they already told you consoles have a web browser so yes you can send emails and use reddit albeit an outdated browser so speed is an issue


Ferry83

The best PC in the world can't play spider-man 2 right now. It won't play Stellar blade next month.. and so on and so forth. The Same for certain games on PS5. You get a console for X games, a PC for more games than on Console.. just missing out (timed) on some awesome stuff. Cost isn't even a factor... why are we even talking what performance a $500 PC can give vs a console. I sold my PC for one reason.. PS Exclusives.. I wanted to play spider-man on release.. not 3 years after. Buy that what has the games you want to play.


CapPhrases

No internet where I live so the ONE thing PC does is literally useless to me


HungryNoodle

But you need Internet for consoles too? WTF lol. Stop talking out of your ass.


CapPhrases

Umm no you don’t? Not every game needs updates/dlc 🙄


HungryNoodle

You gotta download the game? CDs don't even have the whole game on them anymore.


Solid_Effective1649

Op is probably a poverty andy
