PC gaming remains winning

 

[lh032]

nah i just spend 70 dollars for less headache.

 

[SJRB]

Pro-tip: half these games will be in the bargaining bin after 4 weeks.

 

[Punished Miku]

Gonna be 5 nopes from me. Sonic Frontiers is $60. So is Bayonetta 3, and Mario Rabies 2. And Star Ocean.

 

[scraz]

Part of me wants to complain about $60 bucks for dead space but i double dipped on the PC versions of one and 2 long ago.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Expected.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Real winners are the peeps who game at 1080p on a PC. Insane value all things considered.

 

[sendit]

nah i just spend 70 dollars for less headache.

Agreed. You need to have a PhD in Nuclear Physics to install and run games on PC.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

nah i just spend 70 dollars for less headache.

Headache? Unless you’re absolutely broken, it couldn’t be easier to play games on PC. I’ll just assume you’re absolutely broken.

On topic, I’m not really interested in any of those except maybe Harry Potter.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I just totalled up how much I'll be spending on those games.

0.

EDIT: Missed that Calisto Protocol was on there. I'll probably buy that. Somewhat undermines my point. I'll wait until I can get it half price.

i have a gaming PC with 2070s, not a high end one of course but still able to play alot of recent games with good FPS.

I still stick with console.

Nothing to do with broken, PC gaming is just expensive, it will be getting worse in the future.

 

[Flabagast]

You have to be dumb to not go PC this gen. Win on absolutely all fronts.

 

[chromhound]

let's see how much i'm going to spend...

 

[jm89]

Physical edition console master race wins over all, or atleast in the UK.

 

[kyliethicc]

So don’t pay more than $60 for them on PS5 then. Purely out of principle

 

[Nankatsu]

The best deal is getting these games for free in 2 years time on the best service that exists.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Dear game publishers:

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Pro-tip: half these games will be in the bargaining bin after 4 weeks.

This + pro-pro tip:

Dead Space is exactly the same game you played already. Play the original if you want, save your money for Calisto Protocol.

 

[Banjo64]

Lmao. Even worse for britbongs. £49.99 vs £69.99

 

[Trogdor1123]

Dead space and protocol for me. Really looking forward to both

 

[BoxFresh123]

I'm ashamed to say they could bleed me dry for Hogwarts. I've been waiting on it since that first footage leaked way back.

Yeah, not to say you are wrong boys/girls/people, but purely from a math perspective:

Difference in buying Day 1 console vs. PC: 10$ / 10€ (assuming you buy at MSRP + physical console version you can resell, all the PC games are 100% digital storefront locked, so no resell)
Cost of a PS5: 550
Cost of good gaming desktop PC (let's be conservative): 1000 (probably higher)

Difference: 450 = break-even at 45 games bought Day 1


Yes, I don't add all the PS+, GPU, etc. but for many people it is not as clear cut as you think it is + streamlined experience on consoles.

 

[Mr Moose]

Skull & Bones is going to be £39 before launch (probably).

 

[Interfectum]

You have to be dumb to not go PC this gen. Win on absolutely all fronts.

DLSS, RTX, Steam Deck, cheaper games and all publishers (Sony, Microsoft, etc) on one platform. You are correct sir.

 

[clarky]

Any particular reasons for this? As far as im aware steam takes a 20-30% cut just like consoles.

So whats the justification? Im guessing none.

You don’t have to deal with Windows on consoles.

That $10 licensing fee?

The price for doing this can be $3 to $10 dollars per manufactured unit, though there is often some negotiation to be had with manufacturers such as Sony, third-party publishers may pay the highest price.

[clarky]

[Saiyan-Rox]

I got Hogwarts for £48

Callisto Protocol £45 https://www.shopto.net/en/ps5th12-the-callisto-protocol-day-one-edition-p1173119/

 

[adamsapple]

All potential gamepass games, I'll wait

Dead Space will 100% be on game pass in 6~ months because of EA play.

[Jaybe]

No one should be buy Skull & Bones on any platform

 

[Mister Wolf]

Gonna cost even less for me on PC. Right now you can get a key for Dead Space Remake for $42 on Cdkeys.

[clarky]

No one should be buy Skull & Bones on any platform

I'll buy what i want cheers.

So I take it you're from the future?

[OmegaSupreme]

No reason not to be on pc these days. Get gud boyos

 

[Jaybe]

I'll buy what i want cheers.

Post the receipt when you do lol

 

[MiguelItUp]

PC gaming has always been a bit cheaper, it's honestly one of the reasons I flocked towards it the most in my early 20's. I had consoles, but if games were multiplat, I'd grab them on PC to allow my then minimum wage to go further, lol.

I wanna grab a few of these, but I'm still holding out until the price is right.

 

[saintjules]

No reason not to be on pc these days. Get gud boyos

Well considering a good portion of games (Sony for example) don't hit PC until 3-4 years after Console release, I'd still say I'd prefer Console more so.

 

[Dr.brain64]

I prefer paying more than having to use windows 10/11.

 

[nowhat]

You have to be dumb to not go PC this gen. Win on absolutely all fronts.

No, you just have to be poor. Fucking PC peasants!

Also you have to factor in the price of a GPU if you're going to upgrade, and when it comes to that... good luck.

Thanks for enlightening us unwashed masses, oh wise gamer mathematician. Have you ever considered the possibility of there being a million different ways of crunching the numbers, many of which still come out in favor of going the PC route?

I mean by not counting PS+ you are already missing some big future Sony games like the next Naughty Dog's one, so you will not be able to get the full PS5 experience.

But more important than that, the catalogue difference between PS5 (or any other console) and a PC is... huge
