PC bruh.

Reasons: Keyboard/Mouse, higher frame rate, future proof (ps5/xbox w/e coming soon), and it's better overall IMO.

It doesn’t matter just by the one that your friends play on. There literally the same product I had the ps4 traded for the one so I could play with friends.

My friends had Xboxes, though if they had PS4's, I probably would've gone with that. IMO the xbox one and switch pro controllers are the best you can get. Had a Ps2 back in the day and never got used to stretching my thumbs down for the analog sticks, when the left thumb can just rest in the ideal position. Being a full time college student, I don't really game anymore other than the occasional skate 3 session, and I have a switch for long drives/flights.

same my one friend got an xbox before the rest of them went to next gen. so after they ended up all getting ps4’s so i can’t play with any of them.

I went through multiple Xbox 360s due to the red rings of death, bought one of the slim 360s that lasted me a good while until I got a PS4 and never looked back. I picked up that Black Ops II special edition PS4 with tons of extra memory and havent had any issues in the like 4-5 years ive owned it

I was an xbox guy for years, my roommate has a ps4 and switch, they're both pretty great. Pretty sure the ps4 pro is the fastest console right? Like someone said, it doesnt matter, just depends on what you like to play.

Playstation originally because that's what my parents got me, and errbody had one. Eventually xbox because friends had it and controllers are way better.

Would still get a box if I was playing video games any more but aint got no time fer that. Although I considered getting one this season to play red dead and drink less. Not really a fan of new GTAs and def not a fan of new CODs. Red dead looked epic though. Maybe I'll get a used one eventually on the cheap.

tech.deck.juulrad, black ops 2 is a great game


it came free with the consel but ive played maybe 30 minutes of the campaign mode, I havent had PSN up until like this past summer, Online gaming doesnt really interest me a whole lot like it used too in the xbox 360 online days, I feel like it was still about just purely having fun online instead of this DLC transaction shit that AAA titles are priding themselves on nowadays. PC will always be good for that along with making fun mods and porting stuff into your game. Gaming is the biggest its been I feel like right now but its really just kids watching E-Gaming tourneys or their favorite twitch streamers.

There are tons of other games you should try if you don't want to play online, COD is really only good for playing online.

As for your statement about gaming, lots of people are watching people play video games, but the number playing video games online beats it by 100 times. DLCs are necessarily for games to make money, especially free to play games like fortnite and apex legends. Video games 15 years ago cost $50 bucks, they cost anywhere from $30-60 now without any add-ons, which you DO NOT need any add ons to play online, it's mostly skins and rewards, its not like it a different game. These games should cost like $100 based on how much they used to cost, but the companies figured out boost their bottom line without actually charging more money for the game, actually genius really.

its actually insanely impressive knowing that Epic Games put out Fortnite entirely free and then add all these features as it progresses and they just rake in the cash like you said. The last pretty decent online game I played was The Division and I might get sequel. It did a decent job of combining single-player open world RPG style play with terrifying and fun online play with The Dark Zone. You can do the story mode and all the quests/missions/grind XP that way or you can team up with other players or go by yourself into this area on the map with other players and take out big bosses, get loot, or start shit with other people/steal other peoples loot. It keeps you on your toes.
