Merry Christmas 2017

@calum Yep it was released in November 2015 and still has a good player base 2 years on. Next years Call of Duty will most likely be Black Ops 4, I'm really looking forwards to that one for-sure!!!
Any gamer's out there can add me;
-
Xbox guy myself and a king at any call of duty

@vtrn_raptor Yeah but... auto aim on consoles is unreal. Cod on PC is a damn sight harder.
-
@declan Uhhm no. It auto aims for you console. so no, aiming is far harder on PC.
It's not a competition, it's just fact.
This year for Christmas, I imported an Original Mk1 PlayStation Vita. Since only the JDM models were red in MK1s. And only the MK 1s come with gorgeous high end OLED Displays.
There is no comparison between PC gaming and console gaming. PC gaming is simply superior. I run a 4K monitor with a completely liquid cooled setup running G sync, hitting over 100 Frames per second on my 100Hz monitor.
Trust me, when you've played a first person shooter at anything above 60 frames, it's incredibly hard to go back. Also the FOV on consoles is horrendous. Also with G Sync, there is no more visual tearing or stuttering during game play. I don't expect televisions to have such technology for a long while, let alone consoles.
Games are also a lot dummer on consoles. With Call of Duty being absolutely rife! Back in the early noughties late nighties, there were games pushing well over 100 players on each team. Now, thanks to the mainstream consoles, PC's are limited to just ported console games, which can only handle at MAX 64 players. Which means, games like Battlefield, now feel incredibly small.
Consoles really have ruined PC gaming, that said, I adored my consoles when I was younger. I still love them now, having sold my Piss Poor only recently. Granted I only had The Last of Us on it, since every other game was simply better on PC.

@declan Well a good number of us on the forum are PC gamers, so if one day you ever decide to venture into it, then open up a thread and we'll give you a hand.
AMD are doing wonders with the Ryzen Thread Ripper CPU series, although I'd prefer Intel's enthusiasts chipsets, the price for them doesn't warrant buying.
I built a high end rig for my mate this year, although prices have soared in recent years, thanks to cryptomining, it cost around £2500. But we went all out and spent £200 on a stunning tempered glass case for his rig.
You could have got an equally high end system for around £1500 mark. And a still very good computer for around the £800 mark.
Anything below that, won't be hitting the mustard quite as good, but so long as you stick to 1080p gaming you'd be still hitting 60 FPS with only minimal changes to the graphics.
But put it this way, the cooling ALONE on my system cost a little over 1k.
-
@declan Yes, but my setup is for 4K gaming at 100Hz.
With the way consoles are coming out theses days, with a new refresh every couple of years, gamings costing an arm and a leg, it's never been cheaper to sell up and get a PC.
That there is a good high end gaming rig for around £600. No it won't do 4K gaming at 60FPS, but it'll do 1080p all day, and double up as a computer.
I sold everything I could to build my PC this year. Consoles, TV's DVD's the lot. But to be fair, they also were not getting used lol.
I've had my rig for a good number of years now. Yes the initial outlay is expensive. But
- You can do it over a period of time.
- You can upgrade as you go like I did.
- It doubles up as a PC
Everything is just better.
Plus you haven't seen my keyboard lol.
I got a fully mechanical Hall Effect keyboard. with Tai-Hao double shot PBT shine through keys.
It's a fully mechanical keyboard with zero switches, the keys are actuated using magnets. Don't ask how much that costs lol.
