Support NeoGAF

[demonstr8]

I have one but I don't use it for gaming anymore. One reason is having kids. Then. At one point it was crypto fucking prices and now it is AI doing it.

Ports are also so hit and miss - Remake being a good example but one of the most annoying was Dark Souls 3 stuttering on my PC that was about 2.5 times the cost of a PS4 at the time.

People say you can do more on a PC but a phone is a requirement for life ATM but a PC is not and is becoming more and more of a luxury and there isn't anything I would do on my PC that I can't do on my phone.

This is also a more opinion based point but I want a console I disconnect from the internet and put a disc in that i legally own and play it without having my all digital library banned from use for calling someone a tranny. Which I will always think is one of the most important things.

On a side note I think the likes of PSSR are really gonna increase the values of consoles in the next couple of years but I'll wait and see of course.

 

[drganon]

Ps5- main
Switch- exclusives
Xbox- barely use
Pc- old stuff and emulation

 

[ArtHands]

I have all

Funnily enough, ownership and access are two of the main reasons I ditched consoles. Physical games will disappear there eventually, just like they have on PC, and there are already physical games on consoles that require a day-one patch and can't be played using the disc alone. Stores won't stay up forever, hardware support will end sooner rather than later and it's highly uncertain how extensive backwards compatibility will be in future consoles.

Sure, I might lose access to my digital games on PC as well, but unless it's a multiplayer-only game (and in many cases even then) there's always a way to get your hands on any given game. I'm still playing MMOs that officially got shut down ages ago, and if I want to play No One Lives Forever 1 and 2 (which can't legally be bought anywhere) I can just download them from http://nolfrevival.tk/. Backwards compatibility also isn't guaranteed on PC, but at least it's an open platform and people are free to rectify that. Your old DOS games won't run on Windows 11? They'll run on DOSBox, which does run on Windows 11.

Overall, PC just feels safer to me.

Playstation first, Xbox second and PC for games like Civilization and Age of Empires, which means... I play a lot on it... One more turn ad aeternum.

Nintendo....

 

[RoboFu]

I think there are a lot of pc ALSO gamers on here that don't really talk about pc gaming because they don't have a 4090 and newest Ryzen cpu. That's a bad stigma with pc gamers that they are ashamed not to have the best hardware.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm currently everything and I see myself staying that way for this gen at least.

I'm leaning more and more PC which was always the lions share but I do like my comfy couch gaming.

We will have to see what sony and microsoft do next to tempt a future console purchase because I'm not feeling it right now. I don't turn my consoles on. Ps5 hasn't been on since October and spider man 2.

 

[RoadHazard]

You're definitely gonna get a representative result phrasing the question and thread title like that.

 

[Quasicat]

I had all of the current consoles and then bought a Steam Deck OLED in November. I then sold my PS5 as I didn’t use it for 6 months and I’m now questioning the Xbox as I only use it to play MLB the show, which I can also play on my Steam Deck through the cloud. I’m not sure if I will buy another console and will instead look into a full size gaming PC instead. Some of those gaming laptops are looking tempting.

 

[JCK75]

I have PC + All Consoles but I game on PC 99% of the time.

 

[Kazdane]

Technically I'm PC+PS5, but my PS5 barely gets any use, I got it just to play FF XVI and Rebirth (I ended up playing also Ghost of Tsushima) but at the end of the day I always end up going back to PC. I have a huge backlog of games and I can use it for way more things than just gaming so it suits me much better than a console.

 

[midnightAI]

PS5 (include Portal on that even though it's just an accessories, but I use it a lot), Series S, Switch, and some light PC (not really powerful enough for top end games, works fine for ESO though)

 

[Flyingpanther]

Pc only. I don't buy (ps) games day one anyway, so I can wait . Had a ps5 but sold it recently.

 

[BlackTron]

As time goes on I skew more PC, but I'll never be PC only. Historically my main platforms have always been PC+Nintendo, it's the others that get cycled out. It's never more true than now because PC+Switch offers the most complementary features with the biggest spread of software.

Consoles have their uses. I'm not about to throw them away. I decided to buy two Ratchet & Clank games for PS3 last week because rather than attempt to download and emulate these on PC I just wanted to play Ratchet & Clank with no hitches (I missed out on these games). On the other hand also last week I found PC to completely transform one of my favorite old/bad games I keep a console around for (Sonic Adventure with LOTS of mods -holy shit).

New consoles have gotten meh though. I sold the Series X. I hardly want a PS5 anymore. The Series S and PS4Pro are sufficient to access my existing games/ecosystems and use as streaming boxes (I only have old dumb TVs lol). PS4 is only way to play Astro Bot VR, Series S has some titles trapped on 360 BC. They all have their aging and increasingly niche uses while PC gets more insane seemingly daily.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

I call myself a pc 99%. I own 4 playstations, 3 nintendos and several emulation machines (and a nice tablet for when I bother), but realistically I only play on my pc. Been trying to resume my fire emblem 2 playthrough on the psp for months lol

 

[Fabieter]

Pc, switch and ps5. Let's see if that stays the way for next gen. Going by current climate its likely to switch 2 and pc.

Going by this thread and my own impressions. Ps6 sales gonna be real interesting.

 

[Topher]

Primrarily PC/Steam Deck. Currently own an XSX. Sold my PS5 in anticipation of PS5 Pro being released this fall. A little bit of a gamble, but I have plenty of games until the Pro comes out.

 

[captainpat]

I would have said pc and switch but I play almost every switch game on emulator. The switch only gets dusted out to play multiplayer smash.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

PS5, Switch, Quest3 and a Mac.
The best combo!

But that's not a combo. That's the whole product range of some stores

OT: I'm PC only by accident rn. If Microsoft indeed is crazy enough to release a device that's open to Steam and other storefronts, I might replace my current HTPC in the living room with that thing.

 

[Humdinger]

Well, I own a PC - I'm typing on it right now - but I assume you mean gaming PC. I only game on console.

 

[What A Shame...]

PC only.

I have a Switch but it really shouldn't count... the only Nintendo games I've played in the past couple years were emulated.

 

[Sentenza]

I've always been PC-focused with the occasional console purchase here and there, but moving forward I see less and less appeal in owning new consoles.

 

[STARSBarry]

PC + all consoles. And it depends on what's released and for what, for example I spent like a week + playing sandland and Stella blade on my PS5 none stop, then back to helldiving on PC before returning for the FFXVI DLC and then back to PC for the Ghost of Tsushima DLC.

Where's mention of my Xbox or Switch? Well they just haven't had anything for awhile, but I do play them if something on gamepass or switch catches my eye.

 

[hinch7]

PC, PS5 and Switch. Only really play on PC. But the big exclusives I've played on PS5. Switch I've barely used.

Probably will cave in for a PS6 to play Naughty Dog's and Sucker Punch Productions next, next game plus GTA first.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I voted PC and all consoles, but PS5 is my primary by far. XSX (waste of money), Switch, and PC are supplemental

 

[AGRacing]

My son has a switch .. and I’ll get him a Switch 2.

I HAD a PS5, Series X and PC.
But I just put the consoles up for sale and ordered an oled steam deck.

I MAY buy a PS5 Pro for GTA6 if I feel like it then.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I can't see many owning a gaming PC and not having a PS5 or xbox.

That would be me. With the PC on the living room and plugged to the TV there's not much need for consoles, unless you are crazy about playing their exclusives on day 1 (which I'm not)

 

[rm082e]

PC as my main and I own a PS5 that I almost never play. I don't see myself buying another console though. I'll just funnel that money into more upgrades for the PC.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I have a PS5 and a Switch but I’ve been almost entirely PC for the last year. Last console game I bought was Final Fantasy XVI and I wish I had just waited for the PC version.

And now that I have a Steam Deck OLED, the Switch is for Nintendo first party games only.

Only reason I haven’t sold the PS5 is because my kids use it for Roblox, Fortnite, and Hogwarts Legacy.

 

[tvdaXD]

Can't vote since I am mainly on PC but also own a PS5 and Switch for exclusives.

 

[Skifi28]

So much for consoleGaf. PCGaf it is from now on.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

PC, Xbox and Switch here.

 

[Arsic]

PC, PS5,Switch, and Deck.

 

[twilo99]

Why bother with console when every game is available on PC

 

[BennyBlanco]

I am probably 50/50 desktop and steam deck at this point. Selling my ps5 next time gamestop has a good trade in deal because I simply do not use it. Switch 2 is day 1.

 

[buenoblue]

Many more PC only players than I thought . But judging by the Gaf age thread maybe because they are older and more monies

 

[Skifi28]

Why bother with console when every game is available on PC

"""""every"""""

 

[bender]

Switch Only.

[James Sawyer Ford]

I have a ten year old PC I use for windows, word, and excel and browsing

That’s about it

 

[Gaelyon]

I love PC gaming, bought my first PC in the 90's and since then only do upgrades, I really like build a PC piece by piece. Last month I've finally got a 4080S to replace my old 2070S And an Oled monitor.
But then I also do love my Playstation consoles, and bought all PS since PS1. A few Nintendo also, but PS is a no brainer.
So 50% PC, 50% Playstation, 100% gamer ^^

 

[The Dead Flag Blues]

PC and PS. But haven't felt the need to get a PS5 yet, no exclusives I want to play. Might get PS5 pro for Death Stranding 2.

 

[Reckheim]

PC and PS but if Sony ever releases their games day and date on PC i'll drop PlayStation all together. I don't forsee that happening anytime soon tho.

 

[Dragagon]

I spend a lot for my PC, feeling quite satisfied with it >_<
Why would you go for anything else?

 

[Bilu]

My last console was a PS2. And no, I don't have a 4090.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Pretty much PC only at this point.

Had a PS5 but sold it because I really only played PS exclusives. Now I just wait until they come to PC.

Have an XSX that I haven't turned on in probably six months, I bought it for backwards compatible games that don't work well on emulation.

 

[Plague Doctor]

I am getting there. PC and PS5 but this is going to be my last console I think. I don't even touch the PS5 for gaming that much so PC all the way from here on in.
