NME: “Which do you prefer, Xbox or PlayStation?” Henry Cavill: “PC.”

What's funny about this is that the whole PC Master Race thing started with a video about The Witcher.
I can only speak from personal experience. The big reason I haven't been able to get back into PC Gaming is costs. The PC I'd ideally like to build is around $1,000, which is a bit more than I'd like to spend on such a thing right now. And that's for fairly low-to-mid end hardware. The big issue is that, once built, I'd have to struggle with finding a happy middle ground between performance and quality for graphics, and that really gives me anxiety.
If I had the kind of fuck you money that someone like Henry Cavill does, I'd load up Logical Increments scroll down to "Monstrous", and buy everything on the lowest portion of those columns.
And fuck, why not upgrade it every six months to a year for shits and giggles?
With the amount of salt here, I could start a fucking business without fearing of running out of salt for hundreds of years.
Geralt knows the truth.
The salt some of you have when actors share their opinions....
And I agree with you. I'm simply saying this isn't the case for all people and you shouldn't assume so. Many people buy or build a machine to play the game or games they they want to play and are perfectly content with it while others, like you and I, want the best of the best to keep up with the games that come out on a weekly basis. *We have a problem, btw :)*
His look and delivery says more.
PC best platform confirmed by Geralt.
As someone who has been primarily PS4-only the past few years but recently dipped back into the PC world, he's right.
That being said, the costs can be an issue. Just upgrading a standard CAD machine I had ($1k pre-built, not ideal but whatever), which came with an 8700k, cost me an extra $70 for the 600W PSU, $349.99 for the 1660ti (not even shooting for anywhere near 4k), $299.99 for a 1440p/144hz G-sync monitor which was on sale from an original $599.99, and the various other little things here and there is a significant chunk that a lot of people (myself included, if I hadn't sold off a lot of older equipment and odds and ends) can't justify or afford.
Then again, the TV I have hooked up to my consoles is about $1300 in and of itself, so there are other costs outside of the console selling price to consider. Previously I would have said I had no issue playing something like Destiny or Red Dead on my TV and just dealing with the performance drop in exchange for a larger screen, but after playing them on PC it's next to fucking impossible to go back, especially on something like Destiny.

most people dont get anxiety for shit like that. I've usually only had around $1000 pics and ive pc games for 20 + years the freedom and types of games available or why I love it not the max end graphics and fps, though when I get bettern improved performance on my $1000 pc then consoles I enjoy it, but my pc also does a shit ton more for that price then consoles do too.
Nah, it's really not. PC gaming was a mess in the past and it's still a mess in almost 2020, with no signs of stopping.
Got into Steam this month and already debating wether not to purchase anything else and abandon it completely before investing more money in this shithole.

Why is it a mess then? I wholeheartedly diaagree. PC gaming is the best it's ever been. It's not for some people and that's fine too.
I was too lazy to link all the heinous shit Musk does so here we are rofl.
He's right. Destiny 2 on PC is how everyone should play that amazing game. But it's not for me.
still getting my PS5 broski.

"A mess"
PC gaming is slick mate, learn to set up yours system well. <3
Hey, incendiaries don't work if there aren't highly volatile subjects to throw against.
Well, objectively it is of you have the money for it. And don't care about Nintendo or PlayStation exclusives.
He's not wrong. Play any multi-platform with the best graphics as well as now having access to all of X-Box's games thanks to game pass and some of Playstation's with PS Now.
Always felt indifferent towards Henry Cavill but gotta say, learning he plays video games, he seems like a swell guy! Cant afford a gaming pc so imma hav to disagree with him tho an say playstation is where its at 😏 haha
