The Computer Gaming Evolution

With the next generation of consoles on the way, we are being promised new ways to be able to connect with others and more options when playing games, such as the built in share button in the PlayStation 4’s controller and the option to play games while they’re downloading. As gamers, we have to ask ourselves do consoles still provide an easier experience than computer gaming or does the flexibility and adaptive nature of computers ultimately make that experience superior?

of course consoles provide an easier experience...

for one, you don't have to fuss around with hardware/software compatibility, and it's not nearly as expensive/time consuming as building your own gaming PC. and let's be honest - no PC elitist would settle for bottom-of-the-barrel components.

And that is why you have sensible PC users who buy based on price/performance ratio.

And I have done the math behind it and long term with PC I ended up saving money due to the cheaper games, steam sales, games generally having a longer life span, not having to replace broken down consoles, pay for online (on xbox obviously).

It's initial cost is high but it becomes cheaper long term so long as you are a smart spender and not won over by shiny overpriced branded products *cough* Razer *cough*

Easy is defined by your technical knowledge as well because I found setting up a PC a breeze and I have never had a problem I could not fix nor have I had problems with games.

Consoles are more simple but there is no real need to compare, just enjoy what you have got first and foremost....or be greedy and buy them all like I did :D

gazgriff2k124049d ago

its no were near a tie i play both console and pc and even though consoles are not problem free its still day and night compared to pc plug and play. when have you ever purchased a console game and not been able to play it for example

Computers dont evolve, they just get stronger. Now console on the other hand.. Oh shit look! They're evolving now!! OMG OMG OMG

CaulkSlap4049d ago

Well I'm just glad the last 5 years of consoles holding back game development will take a leap forward. PC games have had superior graphical fidelity all along but the core games are still designed to run on 2005 hardware with 512mb ram.

dcbronco4049d ago

I'm so tired of hearing that consoles are holding back PC gaming. Developers will make games where there is money to be made. If they made money pushing graphics as far as they could go on PC they would do it. But they don't because the money made on consoles is too good to pass up. If PC gamers really want developers to push the over-priced hardware they need to demand that they do it. There are plenty of PC exclusives, Push those to the limits.

console is a "console" and PC is a "PC" thats y they have different names...

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken2h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.
