    The whole business of upgrading hardware all the time becomes boring after a decade or two. If you aren't playing current PC games you don't have to spend anywhere near as much on a PC and don't have to upgrade to a new one all the often.
    A new console is an upgrade. You can choose not to upgrade a PC and still play new games.

    I didn't find anything terribly wrong with it
    You probably need to actually play it properly. I did originally have the PS3 basic version but never touched it, got the PS4 version and thought it was good.

    Plenty of people have been on the same CPUs for almost 7 years now and they're only just starting to get long in the tooth for certain games .

    I just think it's funny to say I care about graphics a ton and then not play on PC, that's all. Like I'll live with Last of Us on PS3 if I decide to give it another go. Obviously PS3 graphics are shit and have been for a long time but I have no problem playing PS3 games.

    I think our PC upgrade cycle has been every 5-ish years. Not all that different from a console run. PS3 came out in 06 sure but it took 2+ years to gain traction and the PS4 came out in 2013.

    Edit: Also what Shar said.

    I don't upgrade to a new console every 2-3 years.
    New games at max settings?
    Can you trade those games after playing them?

    I mean in general not TLOU in particular. I was just being a wank.

    Consoles are even close to max settings?

    Not sure how that's relevant but okay.
    Arguing for consoles then saying something about max settings? Seriously?
    Obviously not but that's not what I thought we were discussing here.

    Consoles don't have much in the way of settings. That's why many people prefer them.

    Look it another way. A lot of people prefer automatic cars but I don't.
    I prefer my gaming to be less painless and more comfortable.
    I also like watching movies at home instead of going to the theatre.

    Well if you aren't playing cross platform games at max settings on PC then what's the point?
    You're just jumping through some extra hoops for hardly any gain at all.

    You don't need to run at max settings to outpace the consoles? Once you've got a system setup that's better, it's better, it's not complicated.

    These days, using a console is almost the same. Slow Sony drive read speeds, slow Sony dl servers etc... It used to be that having a console was much more of a plug and play experience but that's more or less changed since gen 7, particularly in non Nintendo consoles. Patches, installs etc...
