But how does that work since 90% of pc games are console games, the other 10% being MOBAs, early access indie garbage and f2p?

The PC gamers in the comments on Youtube videos seem like really cool well rounded people I'd go w that because then you can play games with them.

total war, any paradox game, any RTS game, wtf are you talking about? and not all early access indie games are poo poo, just look at Kerbal Space Program or Rimworld.

besides the PC version of the console game is almost always better

e: war thunder, xcom, civilization, cities skylines

PC gaming is usually far more serious than console gaming in my experience and tends to be more competitive. Also steam sales are loving amazing.

i sure like my games to be serious, so that i, a grown-up man, can stroke my beard thoughtfully while i devote my evening to the biggest waste of time and energy ever conceived by humankind, which is better than the people doing it for fun.

I know my PC will run games at 1080p @60fps+ unlike those tv gaming boxes the poors have.

Worst thing about Consoles is trying to play FPS or RTS without a mouse and keyboard.

yeah, I'm a keyboard/mouse shooter and going over to a friends house and playing on a console with a controller is impossible for me. I'm just a running target

On the other hand, as a person who plays on consoles I have no idea how you guys use a keyboard and mouse to play games. Well, I get the mouse part of it but keyboards are the worst thing I've ever tried to play a game with.

Video games aren't the biggest waste of time and energy ever conceived by humankind, at least not while you're still around.

Both next-gen consoles are just AMD PCs from like 2009.

it's not that bad once you get used to it.

wasd are your arrow keys, basically everything (in a decent game) should be within finger's reach of those so you don't really ever move your hand from one position on the keyboard. plus any game that exists on PC and console can be played with a controller on a PC. usb controllers for PC have existed since at least the 90s.

I gave PC gaming a shot long enough to realize I'd never get used to using a keyboard. People saying they are good for games have probably been using them their whole lives. if you take that context away using a keyboard for anything but maybe strategy games seems weird to me.

Even the mouse, while technically way more accurate than a controller is less fun to me because it feels like I'm just clicking on poo poo and their isn't much physical feedback. I've thought about just going to PC before but I like online shooters and I don't feel like getting wrecked by everyone using a mouse while I'm using a 360 controller or something.

You can use a wired xbone controller or, soon, a wireless one, on PC.

PC gaming isn't that expensive unless you buy a gaming laptop, in which case you either travel a lot or you're an idiot (or both).
