There was a time where PC was known for providing the superior gaming experience, the best graphics, the best gameplay, the best games.
But time has passed and nowadays, while PC are still better from a hardware perspective, It does not really provide better games than consoles.
I've just finished watching some of the games announced for PS4, NX and Xbox for the next year and I must say I'm impressed.
Horizon Zero Dawn, the new god of war, the new Halo Wars, PREY, Detroit become human, Robinson the journey ( VR ).
I see all those games, and wonder, if PC are still relevant.
God I see all the PC exclusives for next year, and besides SCORN which is still a big question mark, there is not a single game that would justify having to spend 500€ in a graphic card, or around 2000€ for a gaming PC.
Even Elite is available on Xbox and soon on PS4, the latter will even provide VR, and graphics are on par with what the PC can offer.
So I ask you, what is the point ?
I'm really starting to question myself if I would not be better spending 1/4 of what I would spend for a new rig on a PS4 for the same if not better gaming experience.
As far as I'm concerned, specialist seem to have nailed the gaming market when they said that PC gaming is dead, we should move on.
