Can't say I've ever had any significant issues getting a game to run.

I don't care about visuals at all really, but the performance benefit is definitely noticeable once you switch over. The main reason PC is the best is because of its library though. That's what makes it worth it over consoles for me.

In all fairness though, that does sum up my experience with Battlefront II. One day it worked, one day it didn't, one day it did.

is that the only game you played on pc?

Pretty much this. Sure once in a great while you will have a random issue after nothing changed. But the same thing happens once in a while on newer consoles as well. 99% of the time if nothing has changed the game will work exactly the same.

I have a feeling this is one of those people that slight inconveniences are huge problems for them. So even if 99/100 games work fine, he'll blow a gasket over the 100th and stress hard about it. I've met a handful of people like this.

Sure once in a great while
i've probably had an issue 1-2/a month. The only time it's "once in a great while" is if you just play the same 5 games for years on years. And the older the game is, the more likely you'll have issues. To replay tie fighter prior to squadrons i needed to download a 3rd party tool to get my flight stick to work with it.

Star wars squadrons just launched with hotas issues that you had to wait for a patch for or use various 3rd party tools to get around. FF7 was a nightmare to get working with an X1 controller. DW8:XL took downloading some mods to get the controller working there and having the correct prompts. Forza Horizon 3 will crash to desktop when selecting cars.

Then you get the launchers into launchers, like Microsoft flight sim where you download 80gbs to be met with another 80 gb patch that's common on most MMOs, that's not a "problem" just a needless annoyance.

And all of that before getting into modding issues (which is where most of the rest of the issues i've encountered), which is a major perk of PC gaming. PC gamers have this really weird issue with admitting consoles are easier. Because they want to portray this black and white world. You are vastly more likely to run into issues on pc gaming then console, but this triggers pc gamers so much. PC brings more options, more options brings more problems, more problems brings more solutions to those problems.

Sometimes you just want shit to work and consoles are going to fit that better.

I have never had to jump through hoops to run any modern game. Older games most of the time also work fine or just need a quick patch applied. I honestly do not understand why some gamers get so pissy over PC gaming.

Tbh I think this has to do with how much tolerance people have for problem solving in their hobbies. If everybody has a certain tolerance for minor problems they're willing to solve on a regular basis. Let's say everybody has a base "dealing with problem resource" that varies from person to person and is replenished with sleep/relaxation. Now you subtract problems you deal with regularly in terms of finances, home maintenance, work, family matters, etc. And low on that priority list is going to be problems with PC gaming. By the time you get down there, have you already run out of your reserves?

This is probably where the "problems" divide happens I imagine (imagine being the key word since this is all coming from my ass). Either you have enough shit to deal with on a daily basis/have a low tolerance for this kind of stuff, or you don't have that many annoying issues in other parts of your life/you have a high tolerance for this kind of stuff.

Sometimes you just want shit to work and consoles are going to fit that better.

PC is designed for keyboard and mouse, so using a controller isn't something companies design the game for if it is for PC only. So that isn't really much of a problem for most PC gamers.

Games crash on consoles too though.

Big patches happen for consoles too. Why do you think only PCs have major patches?

What does mods, something you have to put extra work into make PC gaming difficult? Hell that isn't even an error caused by the games themselves, but by the players making mods.

The distinction here though is that you can't do anything but wait for a fix, and you at least know this should be a universal problem. So you either wait for a fix, stop playing the game, or just deal with it. On PC you'll probably want to solve the problem, which requires a lot more energy than just giving up or waiting, especially because these issues often vary from user to user.

they are the ones who want to portray it as black and white. like the assclown on twitter in the OP.

Except he doesn't, he says he had an issue with a game working one day where it doesn't the next, which is shit that happens and triggered op enough that he needed to share a tweet he can just click unfollow and you to go REEEE ONLY REAL PC GAMERS DONT HAVE ISSUES! someone not liking pc gaming doesn't change your ability to like it. It's not going away it's a billion dollar industry, you don't need to be insecure that other people just want the simple experience of consoles over the often minor troubles of pc gaming. You don't have to pretend everyone is out to get you and steal your precious hobby away because their experience didn't match yours.

Pretty much, most of it is google, hit first search result, copy steps and your good. It barely registers as effort. But I don't pretend it doesn't exist. But when you get the issues that go beyond that, it gets immensely frustrating.

It must be nice to be stuck in the early 00s.

pc gaming is great but ya definitely need to be tech savvy if you wanna do it

just yesterday i had some random ass issue where for some reason my wifi connects to my router and says it's online, but i can only connect to google-related sites for the most part and nothing else. i've tried like 10 things to fix it and nothing has worked

I can relate to the "something worked perfectly yesterday but is refusing to today for no reason". But games are still usually better on PC.
