3 grand? Did they sell you magic beans at the same time?

 

You jest but do we need to look back a decade ago at the top of the line machines and what they were running? Not that much but you'd expect to spend upwards of five to eight hundred dollars in just putting together a halfway decent PC, with top of the line stuff running well over a grand.

 

Those prices have increased with time, so making a good gaming PC is stuff generally more expensive then a console, if you have to play the latest and greatest right when it drops and want it to look decent anyway.

3K USD just for a "good" PC? You should really find a better place to buy your electronics / computers at.

 

You can have a decent / good PC even without making it solely from top-of-the-line parts.

Perhaps but the moer money you invest in it too begin with the longer you can hold out befoer needing to upgrade again my PC cost around £1500-£1700  if I remember rightly I've had it for at leas 2 years now and I'm hoping it'll serve me at least another 4-5  with minimum fuss. I may need to upgrade he graphics cards at somestage before then but I'm hoping not. Of course this likely depends on when the next round of consoles get unleashed. But certainly for now I know that my PC can handle anything a PS4/XB1 can do 

[Hair Serious Business]

Depends on which port it is done better!

 

I got burned lately a lot buying games that were meant as "PC" games only to discover they are horribly ported from consoles. So if anything, I know one thing and that is that I'm not pre-ordering anymore in here.

[N7Jamaican]

I'll probably do both, Xbox One and PC.

Is MEA:A the sequel? When's the expected release date?

[Osena109]

I game mostly on PC but I have  xbox one  ps4  and a wii U  got as gifts but I plan to pick this game on PC.

[Xen]

Is MEA:A the sequel? When's the expected release date?

Fall 2017. ME:A is finished and right now they're just working on all the day one DLC they plan on cutting and selling for $60 in a premium edition/ season pass.

 

MEA: A will of course revolutionize the gaming industry with its pioneering of cutting edge pre-preorder DLC.

Lol...I'm assuming this is a technique bioware has used in the past?

Or they can make it a pay as you play like every phone game, and the more you pay the better the ending gets.

[BraveVesperia]

Since I don't have any computer knowledge and I can't afford to get a fancy PC, I'll be playing it on console. If I could, I'd be playing it on PC, because mods. Plus, most recent games seem to offer controller support on PC, so I wouldn't even have to use keyboard/mouse.

[SolNebula]

As many have stated if you can afford it PC is better especially if paired with a controller. I played the original trilogy on PC however ME:A (like DA:I) will be on PS4 for me. I don't have 2k$ to burn on the spot for a PC.

[Geth Supremacy]

im thinking about playing it on pc but havent made up my mind yet. what about you guys?

 

I would play on PC.  Both have their upside and downside.

 

On 1 hand if you enjoy MP....then you will be playing with cheaters and modders on PC.  They can talk about "master race" all day, but when your whole platform is infected with cheaters it loses its meaning. The SP game will be good on there though.  If you're one of those people that the game is never good enough then modding is amazing.  There are some mods out there that are breathtaking.  I am regularly amazed with what people come up with on PC.

 

Console?  Bioware hates console gamers and will really stick it to them with no warning.  Like Giving you a chunk of the game and then saying (in their best PR voice) Ok. No more stuff for PS4 and XB1.  If you want the rest of the game or any more content for it you have to go buy a PS5 or XB2.  Tough luck.  Thanks for the $60. Bye.

are you high? Because they have said that the release for MEA is holidays 2016 so november-december 2016. And considering the backlash the first time they did the whole day 1 dlc they are not going to repeat the mistake.

[Han Shot First]

Console games can experience day 1 bugs too.

 

Bugs tend to be bigger issues with PC releases however because of all of the different hardware configurations, and as a result...sometimes harder to fix.

 

There are advantages to playing on the PC over the console but playability on Day 1 isn't one of them.

Sure if you're willing to settle for an over the counter PC and live with the limitations of such.  Probably why so many were crying about problems with DAI on PC (no issues for me.)  Hell, if you want to get really crazy you can spend 3 grand or more purely on a video card.

I build my own and it usually costs half of what the pre-assembled ones cost. Especially if I find deals.

[Chealec]

I have nothing against consoles, in fact I own one but I use my pc more often. There are more games on it, my steam library alone has 140+titles. Plus strategies. Civ5, C&C, Age of Empires,

 

Ditto ... and XCOM 2 is due out soon - I do like strategy games.

 

However, I also like playing Gran Turismo on the PS3 with Logitech wheel/pedals, Gameracer chair positioned close to the TV with a home theatre system.

... and people say console gaming is cheaper, I basically bought a PS3 and £400 worth of peripherals for one game (series)

 

I'll probably get a PS4 when GT7 comes out.

You could do that if you wanted - but I reckon if you're a bit more careful about it a ~£1200 custom build should do you 5 years or more with a few upgrades along the way. Just don't buy a top-of-the-line GPU initially as that's probably the thing you'll want to upgrade anyway, you might have to upgrade a £250 GPU twice over the lifespan of the machine whereas you'd only need to upgrade an £800 card once ... but that's still £750 vs £1600.

 

Don't skimp on the mobo/cpu/psu initially and your rig can last for years.

 

Apart from one RAM and GPU upgrade my machine is about 6 years old now and the first game that made me consider a completely new build was TW3 as I had to cap the frame rate to 30fps to run the game on "high" quality (without Hairworks) - though I suspect just chucking a new GPU in would be enough.

[Seboist]

These days console games are as suspectable to bugs as pc's.

 

Consoles have to deal with sub-par porting like on PCs as well, like Bayonetta on PS3, which had half the framerate and longer loading times than the 360 version.

[pdusen]

I wish people who don't actually go through a PC upgrade cycle would stop pretending that they have any idea what it actually costs.

 

A brand new $1000 custom-built PC can last you for 3 years on its own, and then, if needed, you can start replacing individual parts. 

 

Emphasis on if needed. I've gone for over five years without even thinking about replacing anything before.

 

If you replace your entire PC every few years, you don't know what you're doing.

 

If you spend more than the above, you either don't know what you're doing or have too much money to care.

 

If you buy a "gaming" machine in a store, you don't know what you're doing. If it seems cheaper than building your own, it's because they skimped on something that will screw you over later on.

My pc is 5 years old, it cost me £700 when new but I had inherently a weak graphics card so I replaced it a year later. I had to replace my power supply which cost me £50 but only because the original was faulty, then I added 4gigs to RAM and a year ago I had to replace my graphics again because my old one had died. 

So overall over 50 years the upgrades and replacements cost me £350 or so. Considering to this day I can still play games like Witcher 3 and DAI(not on high quality but still) I would consider that a good investment. 

And yeah most of the online stores might offer you what seems to be a cheap option but there is one condition that they never tell you, the parts that they don't mention specifically by brand name will be some kind of cheap no-name low quality parts that are going to fail on you as soon as the warranty runs out or even sooner and getting them to replace it is a hassle.

Eh.

 

Still too complicated for my peasant brain to comprehend.

Yeah I would build my own if I was able to as I know how but because of my disability I can't. But my current PC I got from Cyberpower where I used the configurator system to choose the components I wanted and got them to assemble it for me. Glad I did though as it's proven itself a great machine since then
