1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:08,130
yes yes yes we've all seen this movie and we all know how it ends but instead

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:13,110
of the usual song and dance why don't we all put down our glorious broadsword

3
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:18,590
then mrs. hitch forks for one second stop acting like the poop we're slinging

4
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:24,990
doesn't stink as much as the other guys objectively speaking what is best a PC

5
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:30,210
or a console let's log our way through the traditional arguments shall we first

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:36,390
up is exclusives whether their intent God of War Final Fantasy Starcraft Gears

7
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:39,540
of War halo or Super Smash Brothers fans

8
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:42,800
will argue all day that the exclusives

9
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:46,920
make a given platform best

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,350
hmm there is no such thing as a best

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,489
exclusive and every platform has exclusives ironically given how often

12
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:57,480
consoles ahlet's bringing this point up the Windows PC platform actually has

13
00:00:55,530 --> 00:01:01,170
more exclusive than every other console ever combined along with stellar

14
00:00:59,489 --> 00:01:06,840
backwards compatibility thanks to DirectX but and here's a bombshell for

15
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:11,310
the PC zealots that doesn't make it best either a fat lot of good redneck rampage

16
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:16,920
is gonna do for someone who only really wants to play pokemon next is the living

17
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:20,790
room experience consoles are optimized for the couch the interface is easy to

18
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:24,830
read the controllers are wireless and this might seem like a small detail but

19
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:29,909
they can be turned on with a controller arguably steam big picture improves game

20
00:01:27,689 --> 00:01:33,479
navigation on the PC and yes you can buy little dongles to run the same

21
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:38,729
controllers wirelessly even but no one actually does that one infinitesimally

22
00:01:36,150 --> 00:01:45,420
small number of you actually have a separate PC on your TV for local gaming

23
00:01:41,369 --> 00:01:48,869
or game streaming that yes yes I know a

24
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:51,450
handful of you do but most people who

25
00:01:48,869 --> 00:01:57,299
invest in two separate gaming boxes will at least consider buying two different

26
00:01:54,210 --> 00:01:59,850
kinds of console for the TV and a PC for

27
00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:04,500
the desk horses for courses my friends but the PC is the horse for any course

28
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:08,700
isn't it Linus you can buy a cheap O'Dell slam the video card in it and

29
00:02:06,990 --> 00:02:12,989
start playing great free games like League of Legends and Team Fortress 2

30
00:02:10,379 --> 00:02:17,580
just like that or you can go balls to the wall and Dec your setup out with

31
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:21,380
cool peripherals like the oculus rift 4k monitors and even elaborate multi-screen

32
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:27,210
configurations yes the value and flexibility argument

33
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:32,730
is a strong one for the PC but one counter is the simplicity argument yes

34
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:37,709
internet connections have made console game releases more PC like than ever and

35
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:43,920
not in a good way but at least the game works as well as it can across the board

36
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:47,970
because let's face it not everyone wants to care about what brand motor oil is in

37
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:52,739
their car what heating element is in their dishwasher or yeah it's true what

38
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,870
leet video card is in their gaming system which leads us to performance I'm

39
00:02:55,290 --> 00:03:02,940
legit tired of hearing about how pcs are faster I really am they are and their

40
00:03:00,989 --> 00:03:08,220
core functionality is much deeper than what a console can be but to be a whole

41
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:13,590
lot faster they're also more expensive at a similar price a PC really isn't

42
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:18,299
that much better than a PlayStation 4 with that said I'm even more tired of

43
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:23,010
hearing about how consoles are faster they're not if you think they are you're

44
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:27,540
wrong there was a time when you could argue that but these days you're just

45
00:03:24,570 --> 00:03:32,790
wrong sorry brah then there's the closely related value argument both

46
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:38,220
sides can lay claim to massive catalogs of cheap games that were released last

47
00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:42,090
year but two seemingly devastating blows to the console argument are the

48
00:03:40,049 --> 00:03:46,560
backwards compatibility of the PC courtesy of DirectX and the lack of a

49
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:51,090
system-wide paid subscription for multiplayer unless of course you don't

50
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:56,100
appreciate the rampant cheating in many PC games even at the highest competitive

51
00:03:53,850 --> 00:04:00,000
level sometimes something that console gamers don't suffer from to the same

52
00:03:58,110 --> 00:04:03,959
degree and then of course there's the hardware too you know this is where it

53
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:08,070
kind of degrades most of the time consoles are cheap it lasts a long time

54
00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:12,120
yeah but PC gamers could keep their computers for seven years if they wanted

55
00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:18,090
potato grade graphics to your games are locked in 30 FPS 792p oh yeah well all

56
00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:22,140
your triple-a games are crud ports of the games that run better and are

57
00:04:19,350 --> 00:04:25,289
supposedly inferior Hardware maybe if your hardware didn't suck so bad the

58
00:04:23,729 --> 00:04:29,070
whole industry could be able to move forward out of fast jacent yeah we all

59
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:34,680
knew this was heading there as soon as the potatoes got brought up so let's

60
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:37,020
reset again the problem and I'd actually

61
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,910
like to address my fellow PC master-race members for a moment here is that at the

62
00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:46,440
end of the day life is not a spreadsheet and the way that we approached this

63
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:53,850
video in the first place is actually sort of wrong if we tackle this purely

64
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:56,639
objectively the PC is superior it can

65
00:04:53,850 --> 00:05:01,800
achieve more check marks and fewer X's at a lower price or a vast number more

66
00:04:59,310 --> 00:05:07,380
check marks at a greater price yeah I know but guys it's not about

67
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:12,120
dispassionately comparing stats to crown a winner it's about the games and the

68
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:17,430
experience that you as an individual are after if you want a super deep

69
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,960
experience an EVE Online makes you happy then great but if someone else wants to

70
00:05:20,010 --> 00:05:26,700
play singing dancing games with their friends do you really expect them to

71
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:33,330
crowd around a PC to do it no of course not it's one of those scenarios more

72
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:35,850
hardcore oh I don't know probably but

73
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:40,190
who cares it's entertainment and the TLDR here is everyone needs to just calm

74
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:45,090
the heck down speaking of calming back down lynda.com
