mojo for this list we’re counting down
everything that makes the PC such a
beloved gaming platform for so many
these are the things that PC can do that
are simply unmatched nothing I bring
news join me in PC gaming and it’s send
through god of number-10 what console
wars tired of the eternal struggle
between the three major consoles then PC
gaming spectively for you because you
could be snotty to both of them if it’s
a PC game then it can be played on
pretty much any computer that meets its
system requirements it’s not like World
of Warcraft is exclusive to Dell
computers or alienware dota 2 isn’t
exclusive to Lenovo if you have a PC you
could run games from EA’s origin valves
steam blizzards launcher or maybe none
of those or maybe all of them you can
have it all number 9 games that can’t be
played elsewhere
while shooters platformers and RPGs are
all staples of PC gaming you can also
play jars that really just aren’t
available on consoles traditional MOBAs
like League of Legends and dota 2 are
not available outside of pcs because
they require sophisticated mouse and
keyboard controls that would kind of
overwhelm a gamepad is massive realtime
strategy games like total war would heat
a console CPU power and pet ass per
second then there’s those tycoon games
which are just too intricate for
anything other than a PC you’re saying
it yeah
number eight easy to diagnose a problem
I love run installation run installation
loves me follow along it’s easy you’ll
see hey do you know how to Google then
you’re already on your way to knowing
how to troubleshoot your PC’s technical
problems there is a deep knowledge base
out there when it comes to fixing some
of PC’s most common problems and they’re
also terms of resources for fixing the
less common ones and once you’ve figured
it out you can open up your rig swap out
the ramp clean the CPU fan or do
whatever is required to fix the problem
yourself console makers often want you
to send their broken consoles back to
them charging higher repair and shipping
cost with a PC you totally circumvent
that shit come on you guys just trying
to help you save money that’s all number
seven unlimited backwards compatibility
you worried that if you buy a new PC you
won’t be able to play last year’s
greatest games well of course not
because that would be silly in PC gaming
there’s really no need to worry about
backwards compatibility
you wanna play dawn of War one in
preparation for Dawn of War three that’s
no problem just load up steam and play
anyway
do you like playing the original Call of
Duty you can do that in fact if there is
a game out there that is too old to run
on modern hardware there’s a good chance
that there’s an emulator or a patch to
fix that too number 6 mouse and keyboard
are way more precise ever feel like
you’re a god of death playing the latest
shooter on a console only to not be able
to hit the side of a building when
you’re playing the same game on a PC
that’s because console shooters often
have built-in aim assist this is
necessary because of how highly
imprecise analog sticks can be melting
keyboard on the other hand don’t need a
misis because they’re already extremely
accurate where you point your mouse and
shoot this is where you’re going to hit
this can be jarring for those not used
to it but it’s a significant advantage
and one the PC players like to kind of
brag about mm-hmm number 5 free
multiplayer the price of new games is
definitely steep but consoles often add
paid online services on top of it too
that’s not something you really have to
worry about with PC gaming another job
well executed want to play a steam game
with friends no problem load it up
have fun does your favorite PC strategy
game require a paid service to play
against your friends no it doesn’t it
kind of boggles the mind that console
makers are still getting away with
double dipping like this grant it there
are some online games like a lot of
MMORPGs that do require players to sign
up for a dedicated subscription service
but in recent years that models been
dying out so oh well
number 4 cheaper games ever notice that
your PC game playing friends are
unusually happy or excited around a
specific time during the summer that’s
actually a medical condition called the
steam summer sale there’s also a similar
condition called ski Winter Sale you see
not only are many PC games reasonably
priced but all these digital
distribution services have a ton of
sales even EA’s origin service has sale
you I’m sure you play has sales too but
no one’s ever bothered to check because
you play gross yeah anyway the point is
cheap games whoo
number three Bob do you prefer for your
dovakin to be fighting Thomas the Tank
Engine and set a dragon would you rather
play a custom Starcraft 2 game mode
rather than what the developers
originally offered you want your Roman
soldiers to fight Lannisters instead of
Carthage Ian’s until recently the only
way to do anything remotely close to
this was by playing on a PC Bethesda has
started to allow mods for their games on
console but that’s basically it it’s
truly amazing what you can do by simply
modifying some text files number 2
graphical power
while modern consoles are still coming
out with 720p graphics we’re looking at
you Nintendo switch pcs have been
pushing graphical limits past HD and
1440p up to 4k and beyond so now you get
a picture the amount of power that
modern GPU is staggering and you can
even double up your cards for hillie
twice the performance you can’t really
duct tape to PS fours together to get
those 60 frames per second now kanya
I mean you truly haven’t lived until
you’ve gained it ultra high resolutions
and silky smooth frame rates number one
customizability
[Music]
like your PC decked out in a fancy case
with RGB lighting or to prefer a modest
look with big power under the hood you
want a dream machine that fits in your
backpack or how about a gaming computer
tall enough to get to most rides at
Disneyland you can do it all with PC
gaming there is a dizzying amount of
options when it comes to gaming on
computers and that’s the way the users
like it what’s even better is that all
of that custom hardware is always
upgradeable there’s nothing like the
satisfaction of building your own gaming
rig to your own specifications or the
specifications of your wallet do you
