What are the downsides of PC gaming?
Cheaters, more expensive because unoptimized garbage is normal for pc, that's it
hackers in almost every shooter or big multiplayer game
>>720779084women think you are teh sux0rz and won't sleep with you because you game on a different box.
>>720779167Who cares if people cheat? It doesn't affect you.
>>720779334I'm talking about multiplayer games, tard-kun.
Mouse and keyboard are less comfortable and require a suitable flat surface.Older games may have compatibility issues.Newer games may be poorly optimized.You may need additional hardware that you would otherwise not need to buy for a console (monitor, desk, sound solution, microphone, etc)More widespread cheatingDriver issues and software hiccups that would not normally occur on consolesMore complicated user interface (more flexibility at the cost of increased complexity)Emulation and piracy are not guaranteed to exist as they do foreverAnd lastly, a tower PC is likely bigger and heavier and requires careful positioningNot like these things invalidate PC as a platform but I hate the idea there are NO issues, that's an oversimplification
Why are 120mm fans the most popular? Why not 160mm or 200mm?
>>720779084Price of entry is more expensive but it's worth it. All games you get to play at higher resolutions, higher frame rates, higher texture resolutions than consoles.
>>720779084You'll never be able to play on any other system
>>720779084My desktop doesn't get hot enough for my cat to sleep on it so sometimes I have to boot my ps4 up when her arthritis is flaring up.
>>720779420Who plays multiplayer in the holy year of our Lord 2025? What a fucking faggot.
>>720779084Occasional hackers and cheaters in multiplayerHardware costs absolutely ballooning into absurdity over the last decadeThat's about it really
>>720779669You simply don't get it anon, he's playing "competitive" console games
>>720779420But I play on PC.
>>720779084>PSU on the bottomYou guys don't actually do this, right?

People who are good at games like multiplayer
Takes extra effort to play on a couch
>>720779760And PC multiplayer is unplayable because everyone who plays it cheats, unless the game has kernel level malware preinstalled.
>>720780003sure but is being good at games a real achievement?
>>720779084The "community", but the "community" of pretty much any gaming related topic is garbage anyway so it's hardly even a real downside. The other downside is Windows/Microsoft bullshit but Linux is viable and getting better by the day and I recommend it.Everything else is the best. Go for it.
>>720779084stuttercheaterssitting at your deskhalf assed controller support for most gamescan't buy parts without troon lightingparts are expensive ports almost always run worse than PS5 despite technically being more powerful but also costing 3-5x as muchmore shovelware clogging up your browsing their any other storenew parts dropping legacy software so it's literally impossible to run some older games (see 5000 series dropping 32bit physx support)the list goes on and on
>>720779884truly an electronica genius
>>720779084If your opponent's PC lags, you get delay in multiplayer games, in addition to the regular internet delay.Cheaters everywhere.10x the cost.Often have to troubleshoot problems in games because they won't run or run like shit, so you spend literally hours or even days going down a fucking online rabbithole testing several different fixes and nothing fucking works.... then you end up with spyware and viruses that affect yoyr PC negatively and then THOSE issues take hours or even days to troubleshoot.... repeat ad-nauseum until you PC isn't usable anymore.Mouse+keyboard have no analog input and aren't comfortable to use. You may develop carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel syndromes because of it.>>720780231Plus what this guys said.
>>720779084The MiSTer can emulate PC perfectly accurately.
>>720779084Don't you have a PC? I thought everyone has a PC. Anyway, PC is the platform with the biggest game library and you can easily pirate almost any game. That makes PC "master race". If you can only own one gaming device, it should be PC.
>>720779084You have to know about computers if you want a good experience.
>>720779084Snoys and to a lesser extent, tendies, will hate you. But also, Zoomers and soon gen alpha completely abandoned computers. You'll feel really isolated.
