And the older a game gets, the more annoying this process becomes. Yeah, you can play 30-year old PC games on the same machine running the newest games, but it isn't gonna be painless to do so.
I'm just trying to play the damn game. Simple as.

I never had to log in to any sort of service to play my games, been playing exclusively on PS5 since Spider-man 2 launch. (and now I want to buy games physically only). What are you even doing to encounter such problems?
The only "problem" I have encountered is a game crashing once, only one time since October.
That probably because you already paying for online anon, try not paying for 1 month and look at all the single player you cannot play anymore.
"Always online" is a fricking bane.
my PS5 is disconnected from the internet, it hasnt touched internet once
Of course you arent gonna fill your ps5's drive with games
There arent any
PS5 not even having a Bloodborne to meme is so frickin' sad man. What were they thinking.
>Yeah no, lmao
>lists things that happen on PC too
?
250GB of SATA III disk space is not 150$ on PC, homie...

Works on my machine. I will never buy a console until they stop charging extra to use the internet that I already pay for.
more like

Honestly I haven't had a pc game like that since magicka,
And magicka was probably the last game that was good enough for me to want to fight through the bugs anyway.

Oh no, not the five feet of wall space for a bookshelf! That's precious real estate that I could be using for... other things!

Of all the things you could pick on you chose this
I don't see your point
uhh you know you can own both right?
>in b4 ITS PRICEY as he has a PC and 1000$ PHONE
I already have the original Demons Souls so I don’t need the remake and I’m not interested in the PS5’s only other game. Seems like a waste
also
>operating system proprietor is trying to frick with me?

This whole line of thinking is why I haven't updated anything in my PC since I built it almost seven years ago.
>build computer nearly a decade ago
>spend next to nothing on upkeep
>it still runs everything just fine
basically this. Quit being dumb OP.
upgrading a single part shouldnt be this hard no matter how how your hardware is, unless it ancient 20+ years old
>I don't understand why I can't just drop a Ferrari engine into my 2006 Honda Civic to make it go faster
pc is build with updates in mind, unlike your moronic ferrari example
Civic is a tuner car.
no car in history has ever been created to be upgraded over time. if that would be a thing the entire auto industry would collapse decades ago
>Don't know shit about cars
>Weigh in anyway
Do you drive a Mitsubishi by chance
Confusing maintenance with upgrading is your probem, sonny. You'll get it when you grow up.
The Ferrari engine would actually make it slower because it doesn't have VTEC
>shouldnt be
oh cool, sounds like you have a billion dollar idea, young go-getter. don't let us stand in your way.
i dont have to invent anything to be justified in rating of stupidity
>thing is "stupid" because it doesn't fit with my limited understanding of how things work
pay more attention in class, kiddo
idiotic people like you who sit without complaining are exactly the reason why technology doesnt invent anything new
now you're just projecting.
what are you going to do about it? spank me? go play with your expensive pc anon
oh I will ha-ha, I will
There's also that. I can still run everything that I've been wanting to get, including Helldivers2. I honestly don't know much about how to tell when parts are better than others and looking up stats is like looking at a brick wall for me, but it certainly seems like I've done a good job at picking parts that punch above their weight.
Find someone willing to buy the old pc and build a new one.
gpu?
I mean, sure. its a litle sunk cost but if you are already spending $400+ on a GPU why are you mincing over an the cheaper purchases? Just buy a little every now and then. If you've been cruising on 15+ year old hardware this long you really do have to admit that its about time you upgraded.
just save up money and buy the whole thing at once. tech loses value so fast that buying it by little is dumb
PC gaming will forever remain the insurmountable filter for morons and poorgays. The last bastion of hope for video games.
>spend insane amount of money
>live in constant stress and parts hunting
>always upgrading every other year
>not doing this is making you a moron
Ok, moron.
>This post
The gate continues keeping
cope
arrest
none of what you wrote is even remotely true
You only need to do that if you want to have the best shit available at all times.
Like...
Dont be poor?
I'm not poor. I enjoy pleasure, but I don't enjoy putting insane money on it.
Then I got a perfect idea for you
Instead of paying 80 bucks per game and 500 dollars for a console
(Thats already 1000 dollars for 5 games and the console)
Just get a 700 bucks pc and you can have it all for free
See? You're a moron
>>live in constant stress and parts hunting
Of what? It breaking down? Elaborate.
You can ruin parts easily since they take pressure to put in
You don't know which part will really work great with your system
You have to wait or go somewhere to get the parts
You have to manipulate expensive insides of your system
Every other year the system needs upgrading
Random little errors occure and you must troubleshoot
When you finally get something working something else wont work
Tiny mistakes can cost lot of money
One upgrade leads to 10 other upgrades
Every game needs something else to run properly
Not every game runs exactly the same proper way
Random updates can frick up your perfect system due to software error
You have no control over software as you rely on other people to make it right
When you finally get it right the software might work only for limited amount of games
Lmao this is next level cope
It's true. All of it.
Ive got consolegay friends and all of them have jumped console versions before Ive replaced a single part on my computer, so this 'economic choice' is complete bullshit. Its the morons choice because you dont know how to build a computer.
Haven't changed my PC at all since 2022, not very impressive, but before that I hadn't changed a thing since 2011. No issues.
i'd have immense buyers regret if i bought a modern console, at least i can make music or do video editing on PC, on console it's just a decent game or two every other year and then the next console comes out lol
just master race things
or you just build a good enough machine the first time that should keep you relatively future proof? it's really not that hard and I did it on a budget without even buying anything top of the line like 4 years ago.
When consoles ever actually become usable.
>Get a new GPU with the few bucks I have
do you live in 2009?
still not buying a c*nsole frick off
>Pic
Anon I have a 3060 and an i7 processor and Helldivers 2 runs near flawlessly for me, and I only say that because it stays stays at a stable fps in the high 50s instead of 60s+
It's really not that intensive of a game, but I thought it would be too since it was released in (current year) and (current year) devs can't optimize for shit
Except for Arrowhead it seems
PC gaymers are divided into castes
>top
True master race that makes full use of the medium
Slavs still playing Heroes of Might and Magic III on Windows XP
PC gamers that do not hold themselves to any brand
Modding coomers
Steam only gays
FOMOslaves that bought a prebuilt, only play what every social media outlet is shitting themselves over
Third worlders and children that almost exclusively play free games
the pc i built 4 years ago for under $1000 runs helldivers 2 just fine.
do people still play on consoles?
>ITT: OP gets dogged on for not upkeeping his PC
just because im a woman im not getting "dogged" by different opinions. besides they are wrong
Everyone on the internet is a man until proven otherwise.
I can't "upkeep" my PC when I'm NEETing in-between upgrades and using one time windfalls to finally get them.
Do the marketers know that the consumer is free to make choices, is that why they shill the console so much and try to degrade a Personal Computer. Anyways frick Black folk.
>built own gaming pc
>most games would micro stutter or something. I dont know, its annoying though. Cant play games cause of it
>end up with overpriced youtube watcher
cool story bot
True story
It's your fault that you're moronic and don't have a use for a computer.
micro issues are a thing with every computer, pre-build or not. its fricking annoying to fix it, its random, its idiotic. i fricking hate pc gaming. frick you. frick all of you. its stress
You're not capable of troubleshooting. You're inferior.
im capable troubleshooting. i just hate it
You can't even capitalize or use proper grammar. You're stupid.
imagine trying to put me in place through grammar whining
I can use computers, you can't. Do I need to say more?
genuinely have a nice day, dumb zoomer homosexual
enjoy living in stress you loser
>living in stress
lol
lmao
>fat
>ugly

Enjoy your 10k machine, bro.
i'd tell you to go create white children, but a Black person of your caliber isn't capable of doing so
>Enjoy your 10k machine, bro.
Yeah I enjoy my car
shitbox
you must be 18 to post here
I don't know a single person who could corroborate that
>anon has no friends
>projection
>deduction
Stuttering occurs because you have malicious programs monitoring your GPU. This is a known issue.
If you have afterburner installed turn off all the monitoring stuff in it.
What the problem OP? Should have the cash for it since you are not paying double for internet (PS+ and Black personlive).
That 50$ US per months...
Not a mistake but this is a legitimate issue at this point. Upgrading piecemeal needs to be done consistently. If you try to do it in batches you're pretty much building a whole new damn rig. As ever, I blame the israelites.
let me also remind you that 99.99% of pc players gave up ownership entirely except some pirategays
Return to disc, become PHYSICALGOD
but Ryujinx is still fine
This thread is full of the dumbest fricking people ever. Holy shit, I can't imagine not being able to use a computer and then coping about it on this fricking board.
Just get a new gaming laptop with very good specs. That way you don't have to deal with changing parts.
>Still using a 12 year old 850w power supply that works flawlessly
>Upgraded to a 5800X3D on my old AM4 motherboard
>Got a 7800XT for 200 bucks off
Not my problem!
using a 12 year old 850w power supply that works flawlessly
You over built and future proofed like crazy. Insider knowledge or SLI build gamer for sure.
850 has been the sweet spot for a while. Maximum efficiency comes at about 50% utilization.
>The electricity savings will pay for the cost difference if I use this thing for the rest of my life
Based if you actually had to consider that at the time. Firstoids would've needed to crystal ball that new gpus would become the size of entire game consoles.
>Insider knowledge or SLI build gamer for sure.
No shit. If you just blindly buy a gaming PC from Etsy or eBay that costs over 2gs but has shit parts then it's YOUR fault.
I’d rather deal with all of that than have to pay a cuck fee to use my own wifi. What a fricking joke that is, how everyone didn’t abandon consoles after they started doing that I have no idea but it proved consoletards are actually moronic and it’s not just a name
You used to be able to sidestep the cuck fee by not buying an xbox, before the PS4/Switch
>Implying there are any modern game worth playing online
In all fairness it's israelitenidiea's fault. GPU prices were reasonable up until around 2016.
Will g sync solve my stutter problem?
Skill issue
the image in the OP is literally me down to the point of wanting to upgrade specifically for Helldivers 2.
>OP pic
This is only a problem if you brought a pre built from Best Buy
You can deliberately avoid those problems when building yourself, yes.
But if you wanna game cheap you'll be buying a bunch of nearly outdated crap that will be 100% gone in ~6 years when it's time to upgrade.
My 6 year old PC can play baldurs gate 3, cyberpunk 2077 at 60 fps with 0 issues
Unlike consoles your PC doesn't magically stop working and becomes unable to play new games when a new gen comes out
Okay but were you putting together already 5 year old used garbage to save 20% when initially making that thing?
I got that reference. Wish I really had bought some poptarts off Newegg and posted them here. Too late for the meme.
>My 6 year old PC can play baldurs gate 3...at 60 fps
No it fricking can't don't lie. BG3 is a horrifically unoptimized piece of shit.
BG2 should have been 2.5D.
RTX 2060 came out in 2018 anon,
My fricking 6 years old laptop with a 2060 can run Baldur gate 3 at 1440p60fps with DLSS...
>with DLSS
so you're running it at 720p
Nah, that not upscaling like on console Anon. It DLSS.
You know how that work... right?
Newest part in my pc is a 2060 and I can confirm it does run at 60. Its a 5 year old economy budget card, and it bottlenecks my much older cpu.
Sounds like a issue for broke people to me
>
Pc gaming is a pain in the ass.
Console gaming saddens me
always funny seeing pcbeggars shit on a console game when it comes out then immediately run to play it when it eventually comes to pc years later
Yeah consolecucks know they got no chance so they dont even try
>Every other year pcs needs updatint
Lol
>Tiny mistakes fan cost lot of money
Just dont be a moron zoomer and actually develop skill to never frick up
>Some other random bullshit
Pc gaymin was fine like a decade ago idk wtf happened
Nvidia just released some new overpriced GPUs for you PCukks
Better grab them quick for an extra 5% performance boost in your buggy, optimized game!
You can make some AIslop while you wait for your game to install!
Among my friends there are both people who play on consoles, and PC. Both are ok people some more some less.
What distinguishes them is the fact that the ones who play on consoles are:
- The ones that always are hyped about new AAA release
-They always are buggin me about playing newest AAA releases with them
- Some of them buy packs in FIFA
-They always want to talk about new cyberpunk/Baldur's Gate and so on.
Than among my friends who play on PC.
-One is milsim fanatic a he plays both popular and obscure milsims.
- Other one plays a lot of Barotrauma, and some other indie games.
-With them I've played:
-Space Beast Terror Fright
-Door Kickers 2,
-Helldivers 1, where we discussed that the concept has a real potential.
-Streets of Rogue
I on the other hand like to play traditional Roguelikes. I upgrade my PC once per console generation, or less so, for a couple AAA games that are interesting to me. Like for example Death Stranding.
I've played on PC for 20 years now and I want something that surprises me. Not the: "same but bigger and prettier".
If you want to get hyped with others and play every new release just as it comes out. To "share your experience" sure buy a console.
This idea of hype and "sharing gaming experience" was designed by corpos to drive sales. But do it if you are enjoying it.
I have different tastes.
I have the same experience with the console side, lmao.
Always getting hype for newest golden turd. They waste hundreds of dollar on garbage, play it for maximum one week, and then drop it because it bad, buggy or straight up unplayable.
They even bought Cyberpunk at release like a bunch of morons.
Gonna be a real painful month watching everybody play Dragon's Dogma 2 while I'm stuck with my 2011 build.
New Vegas is all you need.
Im buying corsair one prebuilt fir $7,000
Why would you upgrade your computer for a live service FOTM game?
Why would you compose a post that's over 20% 4cuck buzzwords?
Because spending god knows how much money on upgrades for you computer simply to play a game that's entirely dependent on centralized servers and an active userbase seem incredibly silly to me. And 'live service FOTM game' is a succinct way to describe the game.
you have to upgrade at some point anyway, might as well do it when theres something you wanna play
>Invest in a computer
>Wait for several years for it to either break or become too underpowered to play new games I wanna try
>Invest in a new computer and use the old one as a spare or shit like running older programs
Whats so hard about this?
This was viable 10 years ago.
Not now with the current price of GPUs. A midrange card is $500. 10 years ago it was $200.
Not to mention every game that's released now is unoptimized trash that requires downsampling to get a stable framerate.
>a midrange card is 500$
4060 is 300$ and its the face of midrange cards, and its new.
I bought a 6750xt for $300 over a year ago on sales. I'm good until ps6/xboxsxsx comes out.
>This was viable 10 years ago.
And still viable today Anon, Card and CPU don't age that quick.
You can EASILY save a lot of money by just playing on PC. I saved about 480$ last year in video game alone just because I bought keys instead of going directly on steam.
You can also scam the gamepass 1$ deal by making multiple microsoft account to play the NEWEST goyslop if you want. Or go sail the high sea.

>Meanwhile PC does not need the newest GPU to run modern games in the first place.
>Can play pretty much every game in existence, with better performance, peripherals, game deals, and preservation. On top of being able to perform other things besides gaming.
Sounds like you are the mistake, a sentiment I'm sure is shared by your parents.
>must turn to petty insults
This is why your argument was doomed from the start.
>new motherboard
Sometimes you have to start your build over, like upgrading from and Xbox original to Xbox One. If you actually need a new motherboard in order to use an acceptable processor, your computer is very old.
>forgetting "OYYYY VEYYYY WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALL YOUR SSDS ARE FILLED UP??? ITS HECKIN CRUNCH TO MAKE AN INSTALLER FOR TEXTURE SIZES AND LANGUAGE PACKS JUST INSTALL IT ON YOUR NVME YOU STILL HAVE PCIE SLOTS AFTER YOUR DUAL GRAPHICS CARD AND 4X8 RAM RIGHT GOY"
>buying a GPU to play FOTM
just wait a month and everyone will move on to the next thing. look at Palworld
>insane amount of money
A couple thousand dollars on a good PC is not an insane amount of money, that's less than a single month's discretionary income for me. If you're poor then just stick to consoles.
