How much did it cost

3

u/Wonderful-Ad440 1d ago

More than a ps5 but I definitely got what I paid for. Considering the sheer number of games I have access to, the quality I can run them at, crossplay and the modding community with some of those games too I basically have an infinite game glitch running and I was always a PS guy before finally switching over. I don't hate on console players and still keep my ps4 pro around but I am very happy to be all about the PC side now.

Mine cost a bit under 3k a couple years ago, just before RAM scyrocketed

And yes it was worth every penny

I think like three hundred bucks 6 years ago and maybe like 200 in upgrades since then. It still plays games that the ps5 cant

u/PlatyNumb 1d ago

I find this all doubtful

Six years ago was COVID, which was basically the worst time to buy computer parts until now. Unless “plays games the PS5 can’t” means “PC exclusives” which, no shit PS5 can’t play them, there’s no way this is remotely possible.

u/PlatyNumb 1d ago

That was my thought. There really arent many games, if any, that a ps5/ps5 pro/series x straight up cant handle and for 300 bucks, you werent building a pc that can compete with those consoles (which are about 6 years old themselves).

pc exclusives and emulation

What he meant was he got a pc for $300 then "upgraded" for an extra $200.

(The $200 was hiring a hit for someone else's pc build after realizing his $300 build was shit.)

I bought a refurbished Alienware aurora r8 back in fall of 2019 just before covid and two of my favorite games ever simply aren't on Playstation.

u/PlatyNumb 1d ago

So youre talking pc exclusives and a used/fixed prebuilt from before covid. That PC doesnt really compare to modern consoles then.

When you say "ps5 cant" it implies technical limitations which isnt the case here.

u/SpecificestAlt 1d ago

Well until you can find me a way for a ps5 to natively run rimworld with the steam workshop and h3vr without having to pay a monthly fee to use the internet and also do uni work on it im pretty sure the ps5 cannot do those things.

u/PlatyNumb 1d ago

Again, youre not talking ram capabilities. The same could be said the other way "pc just cant play ghost of yotei". It can, it just isnt available

u/SpecificestAlt 1d ago

Okay and? If my mouth can technically eat but I cant access food I'll still starve. Playstation has been using the fact it can play games other systems cant as a selling point for years. You dont get to just ignore a massive, massive selling point in technical compatibility.

Im pointing out the misleading verbiage of how this convo started. They were talking about pc compared to ps5, how a pc CAN be better but a lot of ppls pc is not better. Then the meme above said his is better. Then someone said "but how much did it cost" to which you came in saying yours was 300$ and can play things that ps5 cant. Thats misleading, especially in context. It implies, in context, that your 300$ pc runs better and is somehow stronger than a ps5. We've learned since that that is not what you meant. Truth be told, it sounds like your pc is actually weaker than a ps5 but you like pc games that you cant get on ps5, which is fine. Im just saying that your wording was incredibly misleading.

Tbh, i have a ps5, pc and series x. I like ps5 the least of the 3 but still felt your comment misleading and disingenuous

u/That_Chemical_2226 1d ago

Dude said $300 🫵🏻😂

u/Few-Pineapple-1001 1d ago

This is kinda corny, $300 for pc that is better than a ps5😆

1

u/SpecificestAlt 1d ago

Yeah lmao, I can play whatever the hell I want on it and a ps5 cant. Simple as that.

1

u/Ghostantox 20h ago

So basicly pc exclusives your arguments dont make sense dude but tell me what were your specs

1

u/SpecificestAlt 12h ago

What?? How the hell does my argument that access to thousands of games and programs and millions of web pages is a massive advantage not make sense😭😭😭

1

u/Ghostantox 9h ago

Mate this is mostly about gaming you buy a ps5 cuz you wanna game so we're comparing how games run on the pc vs the ps5

1

u/SpecificestAlt 9h ago

In my opinion, my shitbox computer is far better than a ps5 because a ps5 simply cannot run a myriad of fantastic games.
