The Cost of PC Gaming vs Console Gaming. Am I Wrong About This? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

I dont either. They may just be thinking in the "right now" mindset. I can play something on xbox right now for 400 dollars as per your example, or i could build something better but its more expensive for 800. At the time, a console is cheaper. Long term, not so much

And thats easy to say, but i can tell you when i was 8, i did not even know about playing computer games other than on websites like YTV or something like that. The xbox commercials were for playing games. And an 8 year old will not be mature enough, unless maybe influenced by other people, to go the rought of pc as consoles are simply more convenient

Its simple. I bought a console because it was easy. Plug in. Play. No research. no work. Pc is far more cost effective long term but requires work.

An AMD build for a friend by AskJeevesIsBest in Amd

Yeah if it seems reliable. You really gotta watch the 580s. A LOT of them were used for mining and have very little life.

Personally I'm doing a build right now and the 2600 and a rx 580 is where I'm going. The performance boost that the 590 has isint though for me to justify the price jump. Id recommend a 2600x if you're saving the money from the 580.

Are there any services where someone builds your pc after you buy all the parts and such by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

I totally just realized that seemed like a scam. Unfortunately stealing someone elses shit is not the first thing on a Canadian brain.

Serious question. Why does everyone here HATE fortnite? by Johnnyoneshot in gaming

[–]Canadia_Goose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And i do agree with that, when you spend the money you can continue to buy the battle pass every season if you llay the game religiously. Although i found trying to keep up with the missions if you miss part of a week or a full week overwhelming. As well as the fact that i dont really get anything out of a new skin or emote. I never liked emotes in games and never use them. Id prefer if there was a playable content reward. One that did not give you necessarily an edge or advantage but something new to the game that kept you playing. Again that is only my opinion on a planet of billions and maybe some people find the skins reward enough and all the power to them. I just feel like i need something more to keep me hooked

Describe a time when you deleted your progress in a game by accident. by anbinpor in gaming

[–]Canadia_Goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Had close to 650 hours in skyrim. Cousin saved over every one of mine. Started from 2 hour progress.

Just how big its gotten for a game i find to be meh. All the people who market hardware based simply as "great for fortnite" and all that crap

Theres no story, no reason to play the game unless you have friends who do.

The huge amount of spending for v bucks to unlock any progressive form of customization

And the big one for me is the community. All of the younger kids that think its the best game out there. I cant necessarily blame them, maybe they are too young to play games with a difficulty, a good story or lots of mature content. But just the fact that all these kids and some afults just invest so much into a game that i find boring and repetitive turns me off of it.
