I mostly use a controller even tho i play on pc but when comes to certain games like rts or strategy games or city builders ill use a keyboard and mouse
I can use my pc as a console as the tv is in the same room, so I can just use a hdmi cable and connect it to the tv. Whenever I want to use my pc as a console, I switch the display with the windows+p keys, turn on big picture mode and plung in a controller into the pc. The only problems I’ve run into is that I need to change settings in-game based on if I’m using the tv or pc (4k 60 fps vs 1080p 120 fps) and if you already have 2 monitors, the tv and cause issues on the desktop.
I use a PS5, Xbox and switch controller on my pc depending on what game I am playing. You can literally use any controller ever made on a PC. Even for games that don't use a controller.
The fact that people are still having this conversation is kind of amazing. Objectively PC gaming is superior, but just game wherever you want to. WGAF?
To my mind, there are only two distinct advantages to consoles: 1) Easier to set up if you don't want to bother figuring out what kind of setup you need for the games you want, and changing settings for best performance/quality. Just plug and play, being confident that your console can handle the games made for it (at least in theory) 2) For couch/TV/controller gameplay, more convenient than PCs in a lot of households. The TV and desktop might not be very close to each other, while a console can just go under the TV. Though in all honesty, the second point is barely distinct from the first. So maybe consoles have only one distinct advantage (convenience). In every other way, PC is just better.
I don't like the plug and play saying because if u really think about it it doesn't work like that in modern console gaming like it did with NES-360/PS3 days. Now you buy the console hook it up, Let it update then put the game in install the game then update then u can finally play that's 5 steps. PC- theres a few more steps but the one thing is when u install a game on PC it updates the game at the same time.
@@shadowsagen723 "Plug and play" was probably the wrong phrasing, for the reasons you mentioned. What I meant was that you don't usually have anything to figure out in terms of in game settings, graphics card settings, windows settings and hardware for optimal performance. Although that is also a downside if the game is badly optimized. There is little you can do about that on a console.
@@FlyingFox86 Nah I wasn't criticizing your plug and play phrase. It's probably how I just interpret that phrase overall, but most if not all these pro console people leaves out the fact that nowadays you have to install the game on top of the updates just like you have to on PC. The Plug and Play Phrase should be considered obsolete now unless your referring to Atari-xbox360/PS3 where it was/is considered "Plug and Play" hook everything up no internet or updates needed.
Dude has a point with the whole controller compatibility though... I cannot use a controller with my PC until I start it with a controller already plugged in. If I accidentally unplug it at any time it won't recognize my controller anymore when I plug it back in. I have to restart the entire system and it drives me nuts! And before any smartass comments yes I have updated my driver SEVERAL TIMES, it just won't work. My laptop is from mid 2021 btw, so not that old.
That is weird... On PC all the games I have played so far with controller support tend to allow you to hot swap between gamepad and m/kb input while in game... I wonder why its not the case for you? Might need to look into this...
They dont understand that new games that come out are mostly made on PC. PC does not require you to pay for an online service. You can use any controller you want on PC. Consoles cant get updated graphics when you want them which you have to wait for the game to get the update. PC can get mods and updated graphics for games that you can look for modders that create and share those mods.
So what if he wrote this in 2018 and just published it 2023 with a few updated words & pictures here and there? I sounds an old article if you get what I mean.
My favorite thing about PC gaming is options, you have the option to use keyboard mouse, xbox controller, Playstation station, switch controller, wii controller, etc.the possibilities are endless and is at your control, why would you limit yourself? I never understood that, been pc gaming for 10 yrs.
I can play Nier Automata on PC with an Xbox controller, then I can switch to playing God of War with a PS5 controller. How is that possible you might ask? It’s black magic, obviously…
so to get the "console expirience," i need 3 consoles, 3 yearly subs at like $150 /yr, extra controllers for each of the 3 consoles ($225 more).......yea console gaming is sooooo much cheaper lol
I mean I would have said Epic Games as the main argument why PC gaming sucks. Because for some reason people tolerate incompetence of the highest degree and actively defend Epic for removing games away from Steam.
So many people only buy games on steam that when the game finally comes to steam many games have a pretty large boost in sales on PC only reason I even have the epic launcher is cause gives me free games
Gaming News Media outlets should not hire someone with journalism education who have ZEERROOO knowledge about gaming in general they should hire a hard core gamers.
Playstation is only the console "market leader" if you ignore Nintendo. Even then, I'd take PC over Nintendo consoles any day, as I'd at least have access to their back catalog of games without having to wait for Nintendo to drip feed them at random (and never to own anymore). Consoles are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay more up front for a significantly better experience & more options than pay less for a much more limited, inferior experience.
Consoles only have "more longevity" in the sense that you usually can't sell your old console if you want to keep playing its games. Where's the PS1-PS3, PSP, and Vita compatibility, _Sony?_
This article is either: A) Basing his experience with PC's _solely_ on a mid-range laptop that was already years behind. B) Was made with AI/Chapt GPT C) Had been written at gunpoint to push a stupid and old argument. If it's A).. jesus, being this wrong in 2023 is astounding. Like, has this man not read a single current article about PC's? Or watched guides? Holy shit.
PC literally can use PS5 controller with all it's features except even with old games that PS5 can't bother to run lol. Imagine playing good ol PS3 games with graphics mods and haptic feedback. Even if the game isn't compatible with controllers, we'll use controller emulators. Can't do that on PS5 can ya ?
PC is the only platform you can use literally any controller you want, in addition with keyboard and mouse plus some extra peripherals like joysticks and keypads. Also nearly any game's buttons are customizable.
Just got my gaming pc a week ago and I'll never understand why anyone would look down upon that, I rather join the pc master race than limit myself to consoles,
"I'm going to take my obsolete laptop from 2013 and use that to judge modern PC gaming on a dedicated PC rig in 2024, and say it's bad. But I'm going to *hide* that fact at the very end so that so I can call people stupid if they call me out for my wrong and garbage opinion. I am super very intelligent." Typical gaming journalist clown behavior. He knows exactly what he was doing.
It took me many months to figure out how to properly get my PS3 controllers to work on my new gaming laptop... when my cousins came over, they were still unreliable and didn't connect right to play Power Stone on an emulator. So I took them to my TV that had the 24 year old Dreamcast... and everything just WORKED. I bought Sunset Overdrive on steam for my new gaming laptop... and I tried hooking it up to my large screen TV. Not only did it require the controller to be plugged in annoyingly enough, the frame rate dropped to 10fps and the graphics looked worse. I was really disappointed. I am computer savvy, (built my own and have used them for 35 year) but I also hate having to trouble shoot a million things to get one thing to work. Nowadays I leave my PC gaming to VR only, almost. I may also pirate games I can't access too. I'm just going to say I agree with being more of a console gamer. For the average person wanting to get into all of it, they're not going to want to figure out all the ins and outs, and not pay 4x as much as they need to.
All PC games (that I know of) are able to be used with mouse and keyboard... but some I find better with controller... and I have my pick. From ANY controller. Tend to rock with X-Box over PS as it's more ergonomically designed; at least in my eyes. Anyhoo... This article is like me giving a dissertation on the problems of speaking Welsh... and I can't speak a word of it. What a joke.
Console makers will lose money when selling consoles. They will make their money back. If you try to make a PS5 with separate parts, you will be paying more just to build that PS5. When PCs are being sold, you could get it pre-built, which would cost lest, or get parts for the PC and paying more. Try buying a gameboy and see how much you paid for it. Then buy the parts separately and see if you paid less or more for it. Consoles will always get their money back either by selling the subscriptions to play online or from the game sales.
I'm using a cheap 2015-16 laptop for gaming. It feels less cheap(more solidly built and better feeling keyboard) than the modern laptops I see on sale. Considering the games I play, it's enough for now.
I have a PS5 and PS4 controller but have never owned a PS4/5, I use them for PC gaming depending on the kind of game (Monster Hunter for instance). They work out of the box on linux.
I really hope this article was some kind of elaborate troll attempt to farm attention. For the life of me, I can't believe someone decided to publish this without doing any research, it can't be this stupid.
18:07 The journalist actually has a valid point that you shut down erroneously. Your response is VERY, VERY blind to the reality that many "Overwhelmingly Positive" games on Steam, or even very popular games off of Steam, are specifically for the hardcore M&K crowd, such that only mouse & keyboard bindings are hardcoded without any thought to an alternative input. PC, overall, has many options, but those options are still restricted by the developer, noticeable as soon as the game launches, until the player is willing to trick this game to modify their input method, even modify their PC, into what a game like this expects. Steam Input, the way to customize and change bindings outside the game, cannot work to its full potential of freedom-of-input if the game is not designed for flexibility in mind, has a limited subset of considered acceptable controllers (every controller is an Xbox mindset) or isn't sold on Steam at all. So instead, you use this point to beat this already frustrating, bloodied journalist to death to fulfill your ego. Pathetic.
I have to use a controller because of my bad hand. It can grab a controller and I can use my fingers well enough for it. Not keyboard though. It's a shame really, because there are tons of games only on PC (new and old) that don't have controller support. Meaning I'd have to get a mod to make it work or don't play it since I hate the idea of mods. It's one reason why my "switch" to PC gaming has been so slow. I still need to save up for a PC so my old laptop can die a peaceful death. lol
Steam has a setting that can allow you to use a controller for games that don't support them it's not perfect and doesn't work for all games but it's a option
"We're on pc because we don't want to be on console." As a former xbox player, this is so true Tbh I feel I was robbed of so much variety by being on console for years
I can play Dying light 2 on max settings, with RT off, with 150 fps (a game which came out at the time my card released). I have a RX 6800. So a already 4 year old card and a midrange card nowadays. I can play any new title at 1440p max settings with 60 fps. Even tho I prefer 1080p and higher fps. I can play so many games at a high refresh rate experience. What the hell is that guy talking about? And even tho upscalers look worse than native, it can make hardware last even longer.
The more I read these articles, the more I’m convinced that PC gaming is way superior than the other platforms. To be honest, I don’t know where you get the patience you have with these people though ahah!
If u play a game like Overwatch and prefer to use a controller.. yeah it has crossplay but you will always be in a pc lobby which will effectively put u at a disadvantage (and no you can’t use m&k on console Overwatch unless u exploit it) so ur argument that well just plug in a controller duh it has crossplay or just use m&k is moot. Ur either on an output setup u DON’T prefer or ur at a competitive disadvantage. Either way is a loss if ur adamant about being on a controller (which yes some ppl are). It’s not a great argument for pc vs console.. but it’s a valid argument as to why someone might prefer console gaming in that instance

I do the same thing just add FPS to the list of keyboard and mouse games
I can use my pc as a console as the tv is in the same room, so I can just use a hdmi cable and connect it to the tv. Whenever I want to use my pc as a console, I switch the display with the windows+p keys, turn on big picture mode and plung in a controller into the pc. The only problems I’ve run into is that I need to change settings in-game based on if I’m using the tv or pc (4k 60 fps vs 1080p 120 fps) and if you already have 2 monitors, the tv and cause issues on the desktop.
I use a PS5, Xbox and switch controller on my pc depending on what game I am playing. You can literally use any controller ever made on a PC. Even for games that don't use a controller.
The fact that people are still having this conversation is kind of amazing. Objectively PC gaming is superior, but just game wherever you want to. WGAF?
Possibly this is some of that AI generated content?
says pc gaming is worse because of his pc
tells you to buy at least his decade old pc
???
we call them gamepads now
I miss regular show. Close enough was tight tho
To my mind, there are only two distinct advantages to consoles:
1) Easier to set up if you don't want to bother figuring out what kind of setup you need for the games you want, and changing settings for best performance/quality. Just plug and play, being confident that your console can handle the games made for it (at least in theory)
2) For couch/TV/controller gameplay, more convenient than PCs in a lot of households. The TV and desktop might not be very close to each other, while a console can just go under the TV.
Though in all honesty, the second point is barely distinct from the first. So maybe consoles have only one distinct advantage (convenience).
In every other way, PC is just better.
I don't like the plug and play saying because if u really think about it it doesn't work like that in modern console gaming like it did with NES-360/PS3 days. Now you buy the console hook it up, Let it update then put the game in install the game then update then u can finally play that's 5 steps. PC- theres a few more steps but the one thing is when u install a game on PC it updates the game at the same time.
@@shadowsagen723 "Plug and play" was probably the wrong phrasing, for the reasons you mentioned. What I meant was that you don't usually have anything to figure out in terms of in game settings, graphics card settings, windows settings and hardware for optimal performance.
Although that is also a downside if the game is badly optimized. There is little you can do about that on a console.
@@FlyingFox86 Nah I wasn't criticizing your plug and play phrase. It's probably how I just interpret that phrase overall, but most if not all these pro console people leaves out the fact that nowadays you have to install the game on top of the updates just like you have to on PC. The Plug and Play Phrase should be considered obsolete now unless your referring to Atari-xbox360/PS3 where it was/is considered "Plug and Play" hook everything up no internet or updates needed.
Holy smokes those PC specs are ancient. Do they make 4x3 monitors anymore? I've not had a 4x3 anything, TV or monitor, since the early 2000s lol.
Dude has a point with the whole controller compatibility though... I cannot use a controller with my PC until I start it with a controller already plugged in. If I accidentally unplug it at any time it won't recognize my controller anymore when I plug it back in. I have to restart the entire system and it drives me nuts! And before any smartass comments yes I have updated my driver SEVERAL TIMES, it just won't work. My laptop is from mid 2021 btw, so not that old.
That is weird... On PC all the games I have played so far with controller support tend to allow you to hot swap between gamepad and m/kb input while in game... I wonder why its not the case for you? Might need to look into this...
I game with controller on pic with no problem and I have more choices. I like having choices.
But we can use any controller we want
They dont understand that new games that come out are mostly made on PC. PC does not require you to pay for an online service. You can use any controller you want on PC. Consoles cant get updated graphics when you want them which you have to wait for the game to get the update. PC can get mods and updated graphics for games that you can look for modders that create and share those mods.
So what if he wrote this in 2018 and just published it 2023 with a few updated words & pictures here and there? I sounds an old article if you get what I mean.
My favorite thing about PC gaming is options, you have the option to use keyboard mouse, xbox controller, Playstation station, switch controller, wii controller, etc.the possibilities are endless and is at your control, why would you limit yourself? I never understood that, been pc gaming for 10 yrs.
PC controller support is so good that some guy beat dark souls with a guitar hero controller.
Basically a console gaming journalist writing about pc gaming. He has zero idea what he himself is talking about lol
That guy must have been on something when writing this shit.
hey man i've been watching for a few years and its an actual crime you haven't blown up, ur vids are great
This article reads like someone translated it with AI, then slapped their name on it.
I can play Nier Automata on PC with an Xbox controller, then I can switch to playing God of War with a PS5 controller. How is that possible you might ask? It’s black magic, obviously…
Remember, real Yakuza play with gamepads.
so to get the "console expirience," i need 3 consoles, 3 yearly subs at like $150 /yr, extra controllers for each of the 3 consoles ($225 more).......yea console gaming is sooooo much cheaper lol
I mean I would have said Epic Games as the main argument why PC gaming sucks. Because for some reason people tolerate incompetence of the highest degree and actively defend Epic for removing games away from Steam.
Nobody defends epic games, people absolutely destroy it. They haven't made a penny ogf profit remember ?
So many people only buy games on steam that when the game finally comes to steam many games have a pretty large boost in sales on PC only reason I even have the epic launcher is cause gives me free games
I’m literally playing super mario galaxy 1&2 on a Mac book with a ps5 controller. What is this clown talking about ?
These people do know how bluetooth works right?
I wonder if I could convince a jurno that PC booting into Steam's Big-Picture mode is a console. I think that'd be a fun experiment.
Gaming News Media outlets should not hire someone with journalism education who have ZEERROOO knowledge about gaming in general they should hire a hard core gamers.
To be fair my laptop in 2013 was pretty cool. Would play new vegas and some other games really well. But like it died in within 3 to 4 years.
Playstation is only the console "market leader" if you ignore Nintendo.
Even then, I'd take PC over Nintendo consoles any day, as I'd at least have access to their back catalog of games without having to wait for Nintendo to drip feed them at random (and never to own anymore).
Consoles are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay more up front for a significantly better experience & more options than pay less for a much more limited, inferior experience.
PC costs less
Consoles only have "more longevity" in the sense that you usually can't sell your old console if you want to keep playing its games. Where's the PS1-PS3, PSP, and Vita compatibility, _Sony?_
This article is either:
A) Basing his experience with PC's _solely_ on a mid-range laptop that was already years behind.
B) Was made with AI/Chapt GPT
C) Had been written at gunpoint to push a stupid and old argument.
If it's A).. jesus, being this wrong in 2023 is astounding. Like, has this man not read a single current article about PC's? Or watched guides? Holy shit.
PC literally can use PS5 controller with all it's features except even with old games that PS5 can't bother to run lol. Imagine playing good ol PS3 games with graphics mods and haptic feedback. Even if the game isn't compatible with controllers, we'll use controller emulators. Can't do that on PS5 can ya ?
PC is the only platform you can use literally any controller you want, in addition with keyboard and mouse plus some extra peripherals like joysticks and keypads. Also nearly any game's buttons are customizable.
"that we gonna throw in the trash imediately" 💀💀💀 Classic
Just want to point out that Medium acts more as a platform similar to UA-cam, rather than a publication not that they're any better
Some people are just stupid, 2013 laptop trying to play new games, 14 years old..
Just got my gaming pc a week ago and I'll never understand why anyone would look down upon that, I rather join the pc master race than limit myself to consoles,
"I'm going to take my obsolete laptop from 2013 and use that to judge modern PC gaming on a dedicated PC rig in 2024, and say it's bad. But I'm going to *hide* that fact at the very end so that so I can call people stupid if they call me out for my wrong and garbage opinion. I am super very intelligent."
Typical gaming journalist clown behavior. He knows exactly what he was doing.
Then … doesn’t this make console gaming suck too? It still amazes me that people can still be this stupid.
Console gaming should be classified by the WHO.
lol, I can play any game on my library with any controller ever devised by human kind, wtf are they on?
It took me many months to figure out how to properly get my PS3 controllers to work on my new gaming laptop... when my cousins came over, they were still unreliable and didn't connect right to play Power Stone on an emulator. So I took them to my TV that had the 24 year old Dreamcast... and everything just WORKED. I bought Sunset Overdrive on steam for my new gaming laptop... and I tried hooking it up to my large screen TV. Not only did it require the controller to be plugged in annoyingly enough, the frame rate dropped to 10fps and the graphics looked worse. I was really disappointed. I am computer savvy, (built my own and have used them for 35 year) but I also hate having to trouble shoot a million things to get one thing to work. Nowadays I leave my PC gaming to VR only, almost. I may also pirate games I can't access too. I'm just going to say I agree with being more of a console gamer. For the average person wanting to get into all of it, they're not going to want to figure out all the ins and outs, and not pay 4x as much as they need to.
Just get a steam deck its $349.00 it can be hook up to tv and hook up your controller to the steam deck
All PC games (that I know of) are able to be used with mouse and keyboard... but some I find better with controller... and I have my pick. From ANY controller. Tend to rock with X-Box over PS as it's more ergonomically designed; at least in my eyes. Anyhoo... This article is like me giving a dissertation on the problems of speaking Welsh... and I can't speak a word of it. What a joke.
Recently got a pc specific controller (scuff envision) and it has been a game changer can reccomend it big time
13:13
*Pathatics in gyro*
Hell if he got him a laptop I’m 2020-24 he’d still be better off then a console
Console makers will lose money when selling consoles. They will make their money back. If you try to make a PS5 with separate parts, you will be paying more just to build that PS5. When PCs are being sold, you could get it pre-built, which would cost lest, or get parts for the PC and paying more. Try buying a gameboy and see how much you paid for it. Then buy the parts separately and see if you paid less or more for it. Consoles will always get their money back either by selling the subscriptions to play online or from the game sales.
I'm using a cheap 2015-16 laptop for gaming. It feels less cheap(more solidly built and better feeling keyboard) than the modern laptops I see on sale. Considering the games I play, it's enough for now.
What games do you play?
I have a PS5 and PS4 controller but have never owned a PS4/5, I use them for PC gaming depending on the kind of game (Monster Hunter for instance). They work out of the box on linux.
Imagine people complain about that you have actual option on PC while Console is a close ecosystem that you just suck it up? Yeah funny
Explaining why pc gaming sucks in 2023, while the only pc experience is a 2013 laptop. Yeah exactly my humor. 😅
I really hope this article was some kind of elaborate troll attempt to farm attention. For the life of me, I can't believe someone decided to publish this without doing any research, it can't be this stupid.
18:07 The journalist actually has a valid point that you shut down erroneously. Your response is VERY, VERY blind to the reality that many "Overwhelmingly Positive" games on Steam, or even very popular games off of Steam, are specifically for the hardcore M&K crowd, such that only mouse & keyboard bindings are hardcoded without any thought to an alternative input. PC, overall, has many options, but those options are still restricted by the developer, noticeable as soon as the game launches, until the player is willing to trick this game to modify their input method, even modify their PC, into what a game like this expects. Steam Input, the way to customize and change bindings outside the game, cannot work to its full potential of freedom-of-input if the game is not designed for flexibility in mind, has a limited subset of considered acceptable controllers (every controller is an Xbox mindset) or isn't sold on Steam at all. So instead, you use this point to beat this already frustrating, bloodied journalist to death to fulfill your ego.
Pathetic.
Dude. Mouse&key players have every advantage under the sun compared to controller players
chassis...chassis..."chah-sis"......."CHAH-SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
I have to use a controller because of my bad hand. It can grab a controller and I can use my fingers well enough for it. Not keyboard though. It's a shame really, because there are tons of games only on PC (new and old) that don't have controller support. Meaning I'd have to get a mod to make it work or don't play it since I hate the idea of mods. It's one reason why my "switch" to PC gaming has been so slow. I still need to save up for a PC so my old laptop can die a peaceful death. lol
Steam has a setting that can allow you to use a controller for games that don't support them it's not perfect and doesn't work for all games but it's a option
PC can literally use every controller and games that support controller have a dedicated xbox or playstation button layout display option
have a feeling this article was made by a 14 year that got an old laptop from his dad
Me with a Switch Pro controller on my PC: 🗿
Only console dudes see having options as a negative.
"We're on pc because we don't want to be on console." As a former xbox player, this is so true
Tbh I feel I was robbed of so much variety by being on console for years
I can play Dying light 2 on max settings, with RT off, with 150 fps (a game which came out at the time my card released). I have a RX 6800. So a already 4 year old card and a midrange card nowadays. I can play any new title at 1440p max settings with 60 fps. Even tho I prefer 1080p and higher fps. I can play so many games at a high refresh rate experience. What the hell is that guy talking about? And even tho upscalers look worse than native, it can make hardware last even longer.
i have been on pc since 2018 and am not going back like you say games that are on console will switch to pc eventually.
Tf? Well someone doesn't like keyboard controls
I love controllers, gaming on keyboard isn’t the same.
Whats the name of this game?
Crab Souls
Shellden Ring
Waterbourne
Sekrabo Crustaceans Die Twice
Ok ok the actual name is _Another Crab's Treasure_
you dont even need a monitor, just plug that shit into a tv....but a 2013 laptop probably dont have an hdmi output lol
8 gb of ram.... LOOL
16 gb wasn't even enough for me, I ended up getting 32 gb
The more I read these articles, the more I’m convinced that PC gaming is way superior than the other platforms. To be honest, I don’t know where you get the patience you have with these people though ahah!
If u play a game like Overwatch and prefer to use a controller.. yeah it has crossplay but you will always be in a pc lobby which will effectively put u at a disadvantage (and no you can’t use m&k on console Overwatch unless u exploit it) so ur argument that well just plug in a controller duh it has crossplay or just use m&k is moot. Ur either on an output setup u DON’T prefer or ur at a competitive disadvantage. Either way is a loss if ur adamant about being on a controller (which yes some ppl are).
It’s not a great argument for pc vs console.. but it’s a valid argument as to why someone might prefer console gaming in that instance
