The reasons you gave are all doable with PCs. Your post gives the impression that they are console-exclusive things somehow.
Does anybody really do that? Really?
I bet not one person in here actually does that. OK maybe a few, ONLY because this is a board of super enthusiasts.
-still gonna have windows bugs, drivers, etc.
-have to keep a keyboard around, with nowhere to type on it comfortably
-is there any decent big picture mode?
-Isn't HDR on PC a mess?
-I would have to buy a 2nd PC. As my PC is my PC, and goes at a desk. So I can type on it right now.
-A DECENT PC is well more expensive. Yeah you could get some PC crapbox you will never be happy with and always wishing to upgrade (trust me, I know how PC gaming works!) for the price of a One X, maybe. Except One X is on sale for 300-350 with game a lot lately.
-Many have complained the Series X is too big for their entertainment centers. Would you like me to take pic of my mid-tower? It's at least I dont know, 5 or 6 times as big as a Series X. So yeah, if people cant fit the Series X near their TV, and this is a real problem (often mentioned in Series X threads), well it's a HUGE problem with something at least 6 times as big. You could build a SFF I guess, but it's going to be more costly and/or limited.
-I dont care what anybody says, PC is not plug n play in the same manner as a console. I WILL NOT be gaslighted about this. It's obvious fact.
-Does every game immediately play with controller as my Xbox does? On my PC I have to plug my controller in with a wire, just to be simple. Does bluetooth to Xbox even work reliably on PC? I guess there is a wireless xbox controller dongle somewhere, that you somehow need even though every PC has bluetooth because PC. I dont have it.
On top of all that for 6 years I realistically mostly play only one game, Destiny 2. I prefer the console version. Why?
The big Destiny advantages frequently listed as bigger than mount everest for PC are: Wider FOV, 60 (+?) FPS. I dont care about either of these in themselves. They're just something you get used to being there, or not. I'm perfectly happy with either FOV or 30 or 60 FPS, once I spend 30 minutes getting adjusted.
The thing is I dabbled with Destiny on PC with cross save, keeping console as my main. While it's easy to go from console to PC, it's very difficult to go from PC to console version, as there will be a period (maybe a half hour) of getting used to a smaller FOV and 30 FPS again. This became problematic. It became better to simply stick with the console version all the time and not have that annoying transition period.
I prefer several things about console Destiny: No hacker cheaters. This is huge for me. Just dont have to worry about it. Some will tell you this isn't a problem, but then you have youtubers (Zmushroom) making their whole channels about encountering cheaters so umm... AFKers are another big thing (people exploiting the game by doing activities for XP while not actually present, ruining it for people legitimately trying to do the activities). Well, they are much less frequent if at all on console. On Pc they are rampant, because it's easy to write a macro or whatever on PC. When I read the Destiny thread and read someone complain about the terrible AFK problem, well I know they're on PC. It's just not a thing on console.
Superior sandbox. PC has a few differences about the PVP sandbox (I live in PVP) that are all negatives IMO. Because of the laser aim, and FOV, on PC, hand cannons and snipers are even more suffocatingly dominant. I dont want that. I dont like to play with HC's. Why would I want to play in a sandbox where HC's are even more dominant? While HC's are still dominant on console, it's less so, and there's more freedom to run non meta loadouts. PC has ways to cheat the movement systems, that makes warlock and titans effectively superior to hunters, who's advantage is supposed to be movement. I run a hunter, why would I want to play in a sandbox where my class is weak? For whatever reason, many PVP exploits seem only an issue on PC as well. A gun called lord of wolves was OP for a good while. Only on PC. Didn't have to care on console. At least one big youtuber, True Vanguard, agrees with me and prefers to play Destiny on console.
