Merry Christmas 2017

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.
-
@calum as if aiming is easier,it’s more precise on pc you guys don’t know what gaming really is try playing cod on a laptop with the track pad that’s real difficulty
@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.

@calum yeah I can really sense how much love you have for consoles
although I’m not a pc gamer given the money I would be lol@declan Mate, PC is SOOO much cheaper than console.
Honestly, I've only got a few games for my Vita, but they literally cost an arm and a leg. You could have had a lot of games for the price of the few I've got. It's well bad.

@calum I suppose if I really wanted one I could get one maybe I will actually I did see a decent spec one on eBay as a starter gaming rig although I’m not a pc gamer so I have no idea what is actually decent spec
@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.

@calum I’ve seen it lol I zoomed in on it when you showed us your chair thinking wtf is that lol now that rig is do able if I sell a bike

@declan Yes, but I haven't explained how special it is. It was a one off production available through Mass Drop. It's absolutely stunning, but it's only a 60% keyboard. Meaning it's missing A LOT of keys lol.
But it's just gorgeous. My last mechanical keyboard, Corsair K70, was a fully mechanical keyboard that set me back around £110. Each key could be pressed 4 million times before wearing out. Since unlike you laptop, it uses a physical switch to actuate each key. Where as conventional keyboards, such as your laptop, uses a logic board and a membrane to detect key presses.
My Hall Effect uses neither. It uses magnets and solid state switches to determine key presses. The result, each key can be pressed 4 billion times before wearing out...

@calum wow your kind of like an evil genius with this stuff aren’t you lol so you use that keyboard full time? Almost a shame if it’s a one off
@declan They are too expensive to manufacture mainstream.
Yeah, not really. A friend of mine mentioned it to me a while back, but I just palmed it off as "too geeky" for my liking.
But when you've gone all out on a custom rig, something you're really happy with, it's just a really nice finishing touch. It's a fully RGB keyboard with some really nice features.
Basically, every time you press a key, the led turns off, then slowly brightens up to full brightness. Aww it's such a cool feature.
I dunno mate, I spend a lot of time at my desk, so it's just nice to have nice things.

@vtrn_raptor Uhmm yeah there is aim assist lol. PC is much better. It is much more precise, but that doesn't make it easier. It's more competitive.
