    The arguments against PC gaming are as follows: More expensive upfront, I can't handle the controls on a keyboard even though I type out this long essay ON A KEYBOARD, I can't be bothered to change settings because I'm lazy, and optimization issues exist. Or the outlandish one where they act like they have to completely unhook and dismantle their PC every time they stop playing a game. When everyone ever plugs in the computer once and uses it as needed. Just play the game. Who cares what box or harddrive it's on.

    My laptop has a 3070 laptop GPU But this can vary wildly because mine is limited to 85 Watts and had to be added to the listing after there was outrage how weak it was even weaker than a 2060 (forget if it was SUPER or not) desktop I believe Laptops can be so much weaker than it’s desktop counterpart if the watts are as low as 85, but can be really close if it goes up to 150 - 250 watts They need to label how many watts the GPU is limited to

    For a while in the ps4 generation (maybe in ps3 gen as well cant recall) you had to install an application like ds4windows which would essentially mask the ps4 controller as an xbox one so the xbox controller driver worked with them. Despite the controller using bluetooth connectivity. Also I wanna know what handheld he's using because if the CPU isn't an APU it's gpu isn't integrated. Also I'll be the first to admit that my old alienware r4 m15 that has a 3070 in it can definitely run games better than my friend's steamdeck. Granted the laptop is not going to have a long shelf life since it constantly overheats it's cpu despite everything I've done to try to fix that :/

Honestly this man feels like a child that is upset people do not like what he likes and he needs to whine about it.

    I started the switch to PC a few years ago and I'm embarrassed that I used a console as my primary platform for so long. It's so much worse in every conceivable way. Did anyone else grow up in console peasantry, though? My father, to this day, plays only on consoles and is intimidated by PC gaming as he deems too "complex." That's just the environment I grew up in. Granted, I spent most of my young life on the computer and I love being able to customize my experience. He isn't like that, and it's kind of irritating to see him stuck in the dark ages on the PS5.

    Maybe im in the minority here, but some of the arguments listed in this specific article hold a little water. As someone who has had to spend hours diagnosing pc issues, I certainly don't blame someone for wanting to have a simple, more streamlined, and "curated" experience. it can be very nice to know that it will more than likely "just work" when you only have a limited time frame to play your games in and if someone's tech skill level isn't to a point where they feel comfortable tinkering and figuring things out, I'm in full support of them going the route that lets them play more games during the time they have, because as an industry as a whole, we all benefit when more games are bought and played. PC is better. Don't get me wrong. I'm very glad I jumped ship, but some of those points go, if someone is trying to reduce as many barriers to entry as possible, console can be a valid choice. for the record, I am one of the people that have had trouble getting controllers to work on pc. My first gaming pc refused to connect to my xbox controller until I got the wifi adapter. Bluetooth just wouldn't work. During my early days of PC gaming, I would spend more time working at figuring out why things weren't working than I would play, and I can totally see why that could drive someone away even if it's the exception to the rule.

    5:40 For context, in Elden Ring, you need to set your preferred prompts. It doesn't auto-detect keyboard/mouse or a controller. But they do have prompts for basically everything, you just need to manually set it. The journalists complaint just means he didn't do any searching on how to fix it. It takes 10 seconds to fix.

    4:10 i love elite dangerous but that game is HARD to play on ps controller. I spent at least an hour setup up key binds when i realized it was not optimal for default settings. You get a lot of alt key binding (ex. Holding L1 and hitting X for this action etc.) Which helps but there just isn't enough buttons to get all your actions. You have give up a handful of things. Ended up leaving out forward/back thrusters and while i got good it was still cumbersome to use controller and do things line combat in that game. Sure keyboard isn't the best, hotas is what I'm getting just for that and other games, but it's a hell of a lot better than the ps controller. Love my PC, so far i don't really find i hate keyboard for any game. Fps is a bit difficult but getting past that learning curve i haven't really been motivated to grab my ps controller over all the other keys i have for everything ya know

    Sounds like he wants every app/game he opens to hold his hand and when it doesn't, he's lost. And with Steam, you can turn off the promo ads when it launches and set steam to launch directly to your game library. But again, it's in the settings and there's no one to hold his hand through it. Some games with external launchers, like Larian and CDPR games, have an option to skip the launcher when you hit play. He says he's used steam for a long time but it seems like every time he opens it, he forget everything. Honestly, I'd expect nothing else from a Nintendo adult. spez: Holy balls, he was tried to play on integrated graphics.

    "I just recently had a friend of mine with a Dell XPS 15 laptop with a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU try to play Hunt: Showdown. The game refused to run smoothly at max settings, so he turned them all the way down; nothing changed." I'm pretty sure this guy just lied about the Dell XPS 15 because the latest model of this laptop on Dell's website HAS NO RTX 3060 GPU option. Dell's only offer of discrete GPU for this laptop is an Arc A370M with a VRAM of 4GB of GDDR6.

I enjoy having corporations dictate to me what I can and cannot do on something I spent money on. Why should I have freedom and options available to me, my brain can't comprehend the higher frames and better resolutions. I enjoy cinematic interactive games running at nauseating 30fps. Im a simpleton and even mobile computers scare me as they aren't shaped like a plain plastic square with metal shapes and noises when I power on the thing. PFFT? What is freedom? PC gamers just pirate things and Im a Consoomer who doesn't question anything."

BUT he tried to treat mouse and keyboard like a controller. just Smashing the space bar, and clicks loudly on the mouse... so i gave him a controller for a PC. after 2 second of gaming on pc with a controller, he turned to me, and said: "put this controller away. gaming on keyboard is much easier"... i'm suprised, but after that, i teached him how to use the mouse and keyboard quietly.

    @@oystersoup3434 Same controller's excel best at racing games due to how camera controls usually work on mouse and keyboard. Fighting games also work like this in my opinion especially if the controller has analog inputs on their triggers/buttons (IE: gamecube controller for smash bros). They're also way more precise in their ability to strafe in games due to a control stick having better precision than using the W/S and A/D keys together. Also I know I'm in the minority here in this opinion but I will say controllers do have a leg up on mouse in keyboard in a certain aspect of shooter games. Recoil imo is almost always easier to control on a controller than it is on mouse, but that's not as big as an advantage mouses give you with aiming so it doesn't matter in the end ultimately.

    exactly unless it's an APU you'll be lucky if a game can run on an integrated card. Also is that the highest resolution Elden Ring supports? I always run the game at 1440p because I hate the black bars on my ultrawide 1440p screen since that's the best I can get without said blackbars. However, I do know I can set it to my monitor's true resolution of 3440x1440 which is why I'm confused.
