Bruh, PC can use ANY controller, so what are we really missing there!?!?
Brain, to comprehend basic knowledge
yOu cAnT sIt oN CoUcH wHiLe pLaYIn 🤤
steam input increases compatibility too.
@@TrollAxeThrower yeah you can, steam has a big picture mode and if you just buy a steamdeck *which is a pc* you can just turn it on and play pc games like you're using a console.
yeah, the person who made that is beyond delusional, I use a control on pc all the time. this guy doesn't know shit, who let this man cook... actual brain rot take he had...
So, he bought a laptop in 2013, and didn't start using it for gaming until 2018. That's already a five year old laptop... wait... didn't he also say 'a 5 year lifespan on computers'? And then, he wrote the article in 2023, which is another five years. That laptop is so out of date it's ready to be buried.
Why talk to people with no common sense.
2013 was PS3. (PS4 launched in November)
2023 was PS5.
Not just his laptop but there's _two console generations_ ago.
He also claims he played Tomb Raider (2013) on that Sony Vaio laptop on medium settings, but he didn't specify framerate. With those specs, he'd be lucky to hit 30 FPS. I don't even consider the GT 640M to be a gaming GPU.
brother my laptop 142years old and still use it to play retro games
Ironically, not only can we use any controller we want... Steam Input API is so customizable that it is almost magical. Game doesn't support controller? Make it support it.
It genuinely might be my favorite feature on steam, it's so useful
Your regular reminder that steam has more user friendly options on it than all of the other storefront services *combined*
the irony of this when i can get the gyro controls for ps4 controller work on Steam but cant get it working on ps4 itself lol... when PC supports your console controller more than the console it originates from lol
Yup. I could use a piano as a controller if I wanted
It's incredibly useful, I love it. But:
1) if you're not playing the game through steam or the Xbox app... Good luck
2) I would never have to "make the controller work" on my consoles.
So it's still a demerit for the platform as a whole.
GeForce 640m LE "Top of the line"?
Controllers outperform Mouse & Keyboard?
He made Comparisons with his "Gaming" Notebook instead of Desktop PC?
my Braincells are committing seppuku on mass.
I almost don't use m/k for years for gaming. I enjoy playing with a controller and that's the beauty of pc gaming
Same for me. There something about comfortably leaning back with a controller that helps with immersing me in my adventure. Even with a game like Baldur's Gate 3, which really seems like it should be best with m/k on paper.
However, for anything like grand strategy or citybuilding, I still need my m/k.
The GeForce 640m LE was lower midrange at the time and was for "thin and light" notebooks. I wouldn't call the laptop he is referring to a "gaming" laptop even back then.
Certainly not "top of the line" as he states.
They just hear "GeForce" and think that means gaming
So do they not realize I can use any controller I want on PC? Plus have the ability to use any keyboard and mouse in any game. No to mention the plethora of other pluses that come with PC.
He's the kind of person to recommend 750 in 2023 and says do not buy an 800x600 monitor. So no they don't realize
The PC can't compete in a market where it dominates? Sure, Jan.
I'd say ChatGPT wrote this, but ChatGPT actually understands grammar
Sometimes... ChatGPT isn't always correct when it comes to grammar.
@@DreamyAbaddon It's usually better than this, though.
I asked ChatGPT about which parts recommended to make a middle range PC.
R5 3600 or i5 9600k and a rx580 or RTX 2070 was the answer paired with 16 GB of Ram.
A way more reasonable and acceptable answer than the crap written by that journalist.
I have a gaming laptop...RTX 3060,32GB of ram and a 12th gen i5. That will last me for ages with the games I play honestly. World Of Warcraft, lots of JRPG's and indies. I can play many games at 1440P at good settings sand framerates without issue. So much happier I came back to PC.
Oh I think this was written by my wife's relative lol. My nephew got married and at the wedding my wife's cousin was arguing that his "brand new i7 gaming pc" couldn't outperform his "next gen console". I asked what he had this mofo said a gtx 960 and an i7 4770k 😂. I didn't bother to ask what console he had because I don't care lol.
Man said gtx 750. Im dead 😂
I've always said that it's surprising how a device that was designed specifically for playing video games does so noticeably worse than a device that wasn't designed with that same (and only) purpose in mind. Also that ignorance kills.
2013 laptop and 2000 era journo mindset= 800*600 screen.
You can mod games on PC, you can't on consoles. You have a variety of gaming ecosystems on PC, you're stuck in walled gardens on consoles.
"Walled Garden" That is a very good choice of words to describe console gaming.
@@RamzaJinnRuu consoles are Apple. Except lacking the goof build quality part lol
"I play with Xbox Controller, Playstation Controller, HOTAS flight stick, AND KB/M"
🗿🗿🗿
And remember, kids, he's a journalist.
Bro calls detractors retarded in 2024
Don't forget a 56k modem and sound blaster sound card because they don't come with pcs anymore
Ah, the good old days. LOL
What is that article about!!!! I use an Xbox controller when I wanna be brain dead in a game & Keyboard and Mouse when I wanna sweat my balls off
Couldn't have said it better myself
I use both but my reasons are different. If a game is designed around shooting mechanics, I use mouse and keyboard always. If not, controller it Is.
pretty much platformers are controller for me... otherwise KBM
Very accurate. I only use kbm for pure shooters, other than that, controller, and sometimes for a game like RDR2 I even go back and forth
This is EXACTLY my philosophy
the pc can be cheaper upfront too. budget builds are a thing
But they can't give the performance of a console, i.e. 4k 30 fps. Can they?
@@lazyboy9227 don't know. Not a graphics or fps person. The games that I play fps really isn't an issue. And honestly I don't mind low settings. When most of your games are indie games graphics really aren't the main focus.
@@lazyboy9227 i have someone to ask about the lowest end pc that can if you are interested?
@@lazyboy9227 also the handful of games that are triple a for me can indeed be played on console.
my fave console cant do 4k 30 fps at all. its the switch lite. thats as powerful as a 5-6 yrs old phone
Jeez console plebs act like updating graphics drivers is like hacking the nsa.
Oh i need a driver update, better put on my leather trenchcoat and wraparound shades then head to the basement with blaring techno and neon lights on my face. I'll just script a unix gui to upload a backdoor in the dark web, in and out 30 seconds tops. If i leave the connection open for more than 1 minute the icebreaker will backtrace my isp the agents will have my location.
When really you just right click on the desktop, open Nvidia control panel, and click "update driver"
no but seriously, "Game" ""Journalists"" being terrible at both, what is new? Ubisoft makes another shit AC game and people eat it up?
Noticing everytime a console peasant (corporate slave of plastic boxes, not referring to console gamers) keeps trying to make PC gaming have the freedom and large options of different input controller options they seem to be upset PC's are not as locked down and restricted as consoles are.
Its as though they enjoy having their hand held and do not like freedom, free multiplayer, better framerates, cheaper games and any other benefit, they are alright with being screwed by a corporation and limitations imposed on them.
Not to mention modding.
Anything more complicated than on/off will cause a vast majority of people to have a headache.
On that point about shooters: you can unironically get a better experience with shooters on PC with a controller because you can get gyro aim in them even if they don't natively support it, unlike on console, where if the game or your controller doesn't support the feature, you have no choice but to suffer.
I miss regular show. Close enough was tight tho
I mostly use a controller even tho i play on pc but when comes to certain games like rts or strategy games or city builders ill use a keyboard and mouse
I do the same thing just add FPS to the list of keyboard and mouse games
I can use my pc as a console as the tv is in the same room, so I can just use a hdmi cable and connect it to the tv. Whenever I want to use my pc as a console, I switch the display with the windows+p keys, turn on big picture mode and plung in a controller into the pc. The only problems I’ve run into is that I need to change settings in-game based on if I’m using the tv or pc (4k 60 fps vs 1080p 120 fps) and if you already have 2 monitors, the tv and cause issues on the desktop.
I once saw someone use the negev and a steering wheel on cs:go and got accused of hacks bc of how the negev is
hey man i've been watching for a few years and its an actual crime you haven't blown up, ur vids are great
"that we gonna throw in the trash imediately" 💀💀💀 Classic
"The games aren't watching you to make sure you keep buying stuff" ...yet
They dont understand that new games that come out are mostly made on PC. PC does not require you to pay for an online service. You can use any controller you want on PC. Consoles cant get updated graphics when you want them which you have to wait for the game to get the update. PC can get mods and updated graphics for games that you can look for modders that create and share those mods.
Im still using a 2070. And im perfectly happy with it, for the time being.
I was thinking about upgrading but never got around to do it. Sow, i supposed it didn't matter that much to me.
But we can use any controller we want
we call them gamepads now
This article just screams AI. And if it was actually written by a human... then it's even worse.
I was literally about to ask if it was. It feels so off, i can't believe a person would write like this
I have a PS5 and PS4 controller but have never owned a PS4/5, I use them for PC gaming depending on the kind of game (Monster Hunter for instance). They work out of the box on linux.
Dude has a point with the whole controller compatibility though... I cannot use a controller with my PC until I start it with a controller already plugged in. If I accidentally unplug it at any time it won't recognize my controller anymore when I plug it back in. I have to restart the entire system and it drives me nuts! And before any smartass comments yes I have updated my driver SEVERAL TIMES, it just won't work. My laptop is from mid 2021 btw, so not that old.
That is weird... On PC all the games I have played so far with controller support tend to allow you to hot swap between gamepad and m/kb input while in game... I wonder why its not the case for you? Might need to look into this...
I use a PS5, Xbox and switch controller on my pc depending on what game I am playing. You can literally use any controller ever made on a PC. Even for games that don't use a controller.
Holy smokes those PC specs are ancient. Do they make 4x3 monitors anymore? I've not had a 4x3 anything, TV or monitor, since the early 2000s lol.
I game with controller on pic with no problem and I have more choices. I like having choices.
I'm playing on my GTX 1070. My dad bought it in 2016 and it still performs great in 1080p.
So what if he wrote this in 2018 and just published it 2023 with a few updated words & pictures here and there? I sounds an old article if you get what I mean.
As a rule, I wouldn't take advice on an activity from someone who doesn't actually do it. If your "Gaming PC" is a decade old Sony Vaio and you call it a Vivo when the only Vivo associated with Sony is a cartoon, I'm gonna put you in the not a gamer category and ignore your opinion on the topic.
I agree I would have had a little more respect for the "journalist" if he actually recommended something like the steam deck more powerful handheld PCs would probably cream his decade old PC any way
It took me many months to figure out how to properly get my PS3 controllers to work on my new gaming laptop... when my cousins came over, they were still unreliable and didn't connect right to play Power Stone on an emulator. So I took them to my TV that had the 24 year old Dreamcast... and everything just WORKED. I bought Sunset Overdrive on steam for my new gaming laptop... and I tried hooking it up to my large screen TV. Not only did it require the controller to be plugged in annoyingly enough, the frame rate dropped to 10fps and the graphics looked worse. I was really disappointed. I am computer savvy, (built my own and have used them for 35 year) but I also hate having to trouble shoot a million things to get one thing to work. Nowadays I leave my PC gaming to VR only, almost. I may also pirate games I can't access too. I'm just going to say I agree with being more of a console gamer. For the average person wanting to get into all of it, they're not going to want to figure out all the ins and outs, and not pay 4x as much as they need to.
My favorite thing about PC gaming is options, you have the option to use keyboard mouse, xbox controller, Playstation station, switch controller, wii controller, etc.the possibilities are endless and is at your control, why would you limit yourself? I never understood that, been pc gaming for 10 yrs.
To my mind, there are only two distinct advantages to consoles:
1) Easier to set up if you don't want to bother figuring out what kind of setup you need for the games you want, and changing settings for best performance/quality. Just plug and play, being confident that your console can handle the games made for it (at least in theory)
2) For couch/TV/controller gameplay, more convenient than PCs in a lot of households. The TV and desktop might not be very close to each other, while a console can just go under the TV.
Though in all honesty, the second point is barely distinct from the first. So maybe consoles have only one distinct advantage (convenience).
In every other way, PC is just better.
I don't like the plug and play saying because if u really think about it it doesn't work like that in modern console gaming like it did with NES-360/PS3 days. Now you buy the console hook it up, Let it update then put the game in install the game then update then u can finally play that's 5 steps. PC- theres a few more steps but the one thing is when u install a game on PC it updates the game at the same time.
@@shadowsagen723 "Plug and play" was probably the wrong phrasing, for the reasons you mentioned. What I meant was that you don't usually have anything to figure out in terms of in game settings, graphics card settings, windows settings and hardware for optimal performance.
Although that is also a downside if the game is badly optimized. There is little you can do about that on a console.
@@FlyingFox86 Nah I wasn't criticizing your plug and play phrase. It's probably how I just interpret that phrase overall, but most if not all these pro console people leaves out the fact that nowadays you have to install the game on top of the updates just like you have to on PC. The Plug and Play Phrase should be considered obsolete now unless your referring to Atari-xbox360/PS3 where it was/is considered "Plug and Play" hook everything up no internet or updates needed.
I can play Nier Automata on PC with an Xbox controller, then I can switch to playing God of War with a PS5 controller. How is that possible you might ask? It’s black magic, obviously…
These people do know how bluetooth works right?
"Why you should play fps games on console with a controller:
1) Keyboard and mouse are superior"
ALL OF THE HIGHEST RATED, MOST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS ARE ON CONSOLES. THE ONLY ADVANTAGE OF THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE IS THE MOUSE FOR AIMING. EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF THE CONTROLS IS GARBAGE. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This article reads like someone translated it with AI, then slapped their name on it.
I wonder if I could convince a jurno that PC booting into Steam's Big-Picture mode is a console. I think that'd be a fun experiment.
That guy must have been on something when writing this shit.
"Let me enjoy this slow time"
Ubisoft : let me cooked
lol, I can play any game on my library with any controller ever devised by human kind, wtf are they on?
PC is the only platform you can use literally any controller you want, in addition with keyboard and mouse plus some extra peripherals like joysticks and keypads. Also nearly any game's buttons are customizable.
The part of this that is the most annoying is when people go like i7 ryzen 7 like Joe said a i5 or i3 and amd equivalent will do fine id a i5 personally will do the trick especially for the price you can get like a 12th gen i5 is still very good
I'm using a cheap 2015-16 laptop for gaming. It feels less cheap(more solidly built and better feeling keyboard) than the modern laptops I see on sale. Considering the games I play, it's enough for now.
14:50 with software like xpadder you can use controller on games that have no controller support, i use it for Guild Wars 2, lol
As somebody that appreciates the 4:3 aspect ratio, I will gladly take his 800x600 monitor (there is no way it doesn't go higher than that unless it is a 1997 LCD or something)
13:13
*Pathatics in gyro*
you don't need the latest and greatest cpu and gpu you can use a cpu for 2020 like i7 10th gen or i5 10th or 11th gen they are also good ( i never had amd cpu) so i can't recommend one but i heard that the ryzen 5 3600x or ryzen 5 5600x is also good.
The part where the journalist claimed that a PC won't play games well five years from now is a lie. It's wild when you consider that the PS5 is already struggling with 30fps on many new games. Your console couldn't last five years, while my 8-year-old GPU outperforms every console in terms of performance. I have a GTX 1080 that is far more capable than any console and still handles games just fine. I upgraded to my current RTX 3070 back in 2021 purely because I wanted to, not because I had to, as I was still gaming at 100+ fps on most new AAA games at 1440p.
Remember, real Yakuza play with gamepads.
Gaming News Media outlets should not hire someone with journalism education who have ZEERROOO knowledge about gaming in general they should hire a hard core gamers.
This guy looks like he might be the creator of some of those "Completed Builds" on PC Part Picker that make you wonder if they know better hardware came out in the time since they spec'd a rig out in 2021, i.e. "Powerhouse PC" with a 10th gen i5, a 3060 8GB, and 16 GB of DDR4. Even better, they manage to spend $650 on the 3060 because they didn't do 5 seconds of research to realize that they could've bought a 4070 TI for $50 less than their gimped 3060. "Powerhouse PC" worth maybe $800 in 2024 had $1700 spent on it and the goober is obliviously pleased with that overspend. This Medium article has this kind of energy lol.
So, I have one of those third party controlers with full mechanical buttons, no membrane crap and hall effect sticks and triggers with excellent accuracy, way better than the resistive crap in official PS and Xbox controls.
And I'm supposed to have the worst product/experience?
Edit: where you can even get a 800x600 monitor these days anyways?
Edit 2: Im still rocking a laptop with a RTX 2060 6GB and a desktop with a RX570 8GB, both with 32GB of System Ram.
Both can play Helldivers 2 and Dead space remake at 50-60 fps at 1080p and are "old" hardware. How can this clown say that PC Hardware have less lifespan than consoles?
Console manufacturers purposefully Kills their own hardware with each scheduled change of generation, roughly every 6-7 years, a GTX 1080 or even a 980 still are viable for middle-low quality gaming, around a decade after their release, longer than the lifespan of a console generation span.
What the name of that controller you using I am interested in it.
@@RamzaJinnRuu Machenike g5 pro.
Some find the mechanical buttons, especially the D-pad too "crunchy", personally I love the feeling compared to the marshmallow feeling of membrane buttons.
@@carlosdgutierrez6570 Thanks I'll take a look at it.
14:35, My first experience with cs:go was on console, the xbox verison on cs:go existed. So you can play it with controller.
Just want to point out that Medium acts more as a platform similar to TH-cam, rather than a publication not that they're any better
Just get a steam deck its $349.00 it can be hook up to tv and hook up your controller to the steam deck
Having fun Playing through kingdom hearts and Elden ring with the boiz to get ready for DLC.
I have to use a controller because of my bad hand. It can grab a controller and I can use my fingers well enough for it. Not keyboard though. It's a shame really, because there are tons of games only on PC (new and old) that don't have controller support. Meaning I'd have to get a mod to make it work or don't play it since I hate the idea of mods. It's one reason why my "switch" to PC gaming has been so slow. I still need to save up for a PC so my old laptop can die a peaceful death. lol
Steam has a setting that can allow you to use a controller for games that don't support them it's not perfect and doesn't work for all games but it's a option
PC literally can use PS5 controller with all it's features except even with old games that PS5 can't bother to run lol. Imagine playing good ol PS3 games with graphics mods and haptic feedback. Even if the game isn't compatible with controllers, we'll use controller emulators. Can't do that on PS5 can ya ?
Bro i have a lapto at the moment but its a 3060 with a ryzan
says pc gaming is worse because of his pc
tells you to buy at least his decade old pc
???
Just got my gaming pc a week ago and I'll never understand why anyone would look down upon that, I rather join the pc master race than limit myself to consoles,
The fact that people are still having this conversation is kind of amazing. Objectively PC gaming is superior, but just game wherever you want to. WGAF?
Playstation is only the console "market leader" if you ignore Nintendo.
Even then, I'd take PC over Nintendo consoles any day, as I'd at least have access to their back catalog of games without having to wait for Nintendo to drip feed them at random (and never to own anymore).
Consoles are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I'd rather pay more up front for a significantly better experience & more options than pay less for a much more limited, inferior experience.
PC costs less
Me with a Switch Pro controller on my PC: 🗿
I'm upgrading my gaming pc every 5~8 years, depends on which part failing first. Once set, i dont have to think about it.
If you lazy, just go get a gaming laptop
"We're on pc because we don't want to be on console." As a former xbox player, this is so true
Tbh I feel I was robbed of so much variety by being on console for years
gt1030 is minimum for gaming with nvidia. 750 i don't even think supports vulkan.
In a period of 5 years, a PC solution is cheaper than a console, considering all of the things you have to pay for, even more if you get a "console and a Mac" combo🤦
Consoles only have "more longevity" in the sense that you usually can't sell your old console if you want to keep playing its games. Where's the PS1-PS3, PSP, and Vita compatibility, _Sony?_
Nothing says you are a legit "gaming journalist" like talking about 10 plus year old hardware. That guy really has the pulse of the industry. This was nothing more than a filler article and whoever the "editor" of that website is should be fired. Since there are obviously no standards in "journalism" I guess those guys are employed for life. 🤣😂🤣
i have been on pc since 2018 and am not going back like you say games that are on console will switch to pc eventually.
Console makers will lose money when selling consoles. They will make their money back. If you try to make a PS5 with separate parts, you will be paying more just to build that PS5. When PCs are being sold, you could get it pre-built, which would cost lest, or get parts for the PC and paying more. Try buying a gameboy and see how much you paid for it. Then buy the parts separately and see if you paid less or more for it. Consoles will always get their money back either by selling the subscriptions to play online or from the game sales.
8 gb of ram.... LOOL
16 gb wasn't even enough for me, I ended up getting 32 gb
Some people are just stupid, 2013 laptop trying to play new games, 14 years old..
All PC games (that I know of) are able to be used with mouse and keyboard... but some I find better with controller... and I have my pick. From ANY controller. Tend to rock with X-Box over PS as it's more ergonomically designed; at least in my eyes. Anyhoo... This article is like me giving a dissertation on the problems of speaking Welsh... and I can't speak a word of it. What a joke.
Recently got a pc specific controller (scuff envision) and it has been a game changer can reccomend it big time
Tf? Well someone doesn't like keyboard controls
Console gaming should be classified by the WHO.
PC can literally use every controller and games that support controller have a dedicated xbox or playstation button layout display option
This article is either:
A) Basing his experience with PC's _solely_ on a mid-range laptop that was already years behind.
B) Was made with AI/Chapt GPT
C) Had been written at gunpoint to push a stupid and old argument.
If it's A).. jesus, being this wrong in 2023 is astounding. Like, has this man not read a single current article about PC's? Or watched guides? Holy shit.
I’m literally playing super mario galaxy 1&2 on a Mac book with a ps5 controller. What is this clown talking about ?
chassis...chassis..."chah-sis"......."CHAH-SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Hell if he got him a laptop I’m 2020-24 he’d still be better off then a console
If u play a game like Overwatch and prefer to use a controller.. yeah it has crossplay but you will always be in a pc lobby which will effectively put u at a disadvantage (and no you can’t use m&k on console Overwatch unless u exploit it) so ur argument that well just plug in a controller duh it has crossplay or just use m&k is moot. Ur either on an output setup u DON’T prefer or ur at a competitive disadvantage. Either way is a loss if ur adamant about being on a controller (which yes some ppl are).
It’s not a great argument for pc vs console.. but it’s a valid argument as to why someone might prefer console gaming in that instance
Why didn't he just buy another newer gaming laptop? 😕
so to get the "console expirience," i need 3 consoles, 3 yearly subs at like $150 /yr, extra controllers for each of the 3 consoles ($225 more).......yea console gaming is sooooo much cheaper lol
