Consoles serve a purpose for sure. I have one. I don't pretend that it is somehow better than a PC (and that's why I do eyerolls when people yammer on about 'aim assist'...it is nothing compared to PC play). But one thing I don't have to do is worry about keeping my console 'up to spec'. Accepting less good play for less maintenance for me is a worthwhile tradeoff. Most games aren't worth the extra performance anyway, not to me.
If I got into PC gaming it would be for a game with monster graphics that was a single player experience. Not to be overclocked SnipurxX01l33T. But that's just me, I understand for others, yes, enhanced shooty is what they like better.

Standard PC player: Turns on PC, 10 different things need to update, Firewall now interfers with game, needs fixing before playing game.
PC player tells console player how many frames, etc. he runs game with, then proceeds to turn every graphics setting in game to low or off before playing game.
Preach it, I am done with the maintenance gaming on PC requires. I had enough when EA's Sim City 3 couldn't run any more because Microsoft discontinued whatever dll the game needed to run. Bro? I'm playing the game. Gave up and deleted after 1 month of no solution provided by EA. Haven't played a game on PC since. Dogwater system. And then we have the cheating and/or mod issue ontop of that.
Side-note: As Apex is completely unplayable currently (fix Mixtape!) I've been playing other games. Like Tiny Tina. And the first thing the game did was asking me if I wanted frames or graphics, and I was like, okay, let's try, this is what them PC's always rave on about... played for 1 minute, went to options, chose graphics... much better gaming experience.- 2 years ago

I hear ya, PC gaming is an Art, it takes work, you can't just turn on a game and play.
You need to, or you should tweak Windows
Install and adjust video drivers
And the list goes on, but, take it from a gaming geek, and I mean, I've been PC gaming a very long time, if you get into it, then you shouldn't run into problems, or that often. But you also have to build a good gaming PC with good parts.
I built a gaming box last year, Rog Strix B550F-Gaming, Ryzen 5 5600X with an EVGA 3080 FTW3 ULTRA, and it's been purring like a swiss watch, and all the games I play, Zero Issues.
Sure console gaming is less problematic, but you're never going to get a console game looking like NextGen high end gaming PC hardware, which is now 4090 level...
Don't give up, if you want to play extreme ultra next gen settings with games that are ultra realisitic.
HEY, I've modded out Skyrim, presently have over 300 mods on it, and I have it looking like a 2023 NextGen extremly realistic looking game, it would blow you away, how real I have it looking. 🙂- Aowba2 years agoSeasoned Adventurer@AnyBrains for example I don't need an extremely realistic-looking game, I just want to have fun, compete and a decent gameplay, that's who I am. but apparently all I got from playing Apex on a PC was a bad experience at all.
