Right, I can hear the scoffing already!
I have to say I ve been playing games on latest Gen consoles for so long that I hadnt went to PC for gaming, a proper PC, until recently, in the last week on my new build as i had to justify it
WOW! What a bloody difference!
I started playing Destiny 2 and after sinking thousands of hours into it on consoles, its like a completely new experience on PC! Smoother, faster, more enjoyable. An incredible experience. Something like 144 fps! :eek::eek:
Tried Div2 as well and same thing. Far better experience.
Ok, I absolutely suck at M&K on Destiny right now but Im sure I will get into it. Im only doing PVE as I would have no dignity left after trying PvP!
Im absolutely gob smacked at the frame rates, load times, the monitor input lag times, etc.
Im sure that most of you play PC as primary and find M&K completely natural but its like playing finger twister with my left hand as I get used to the key binds. But Im going to resist using a controller.
I have to say, its a way better experience so far and I always had latest consoles on release and a decent TV setup but this is on another league.
Seriously, Im super impressed and can see what ye were all harping on about on threads PC definitely is a superior experience so far. 0 -

You're not alone, I was a console only gamers for years, only got a decent enough PC to consider gaming on this year and it's been a pleasurable experience. I used to think there was a lot of faffing about, tweaking settings for every game etc to get things any way smooth but I've had zero issues. It's only a mediocre gpu I opted for [gtx 1660] but it's handled everything I've thrown at it with ease on ultra settings with decent frame rates. I've played games like The Witcher 3, Metro Exodus, Plague tale of innocence, The Outer Worlds, Forza Horizon 4 etc ... all run perfectly smooth and look fantastic - better than any game I've tried on ps4/xbone - everything just seems to pop that bit more. I'd expect the latest round of consoles to match but higher end PC will always trump them I feel
As for M&K - I'm hopeless, could never get used to it outside of slower games. I'm much more comfortable using a controller. You can get some nice ones, like third party xbox one controllers, pretty cheap these days. I have 2 controllers for mine, one is a Trust wireless, decent enough but the A button is getting sticky
the other is an xbo one clone from PowerA, much nicer to use only it's wired.
It does depend on the type of games you play though as Eoin mentions above, for FPS/fast action type game m&k will always rule once you get used to them. Me, I play more adventure type game, racers, platformers and beat em ups - you can't beat a controller for those. Best to have both0 -

Yeah man defo don't use a controller unless the game suits it,like a racing game or such.
In the long run will be way better off. Ive been on the PC long enough that now its the controller I feel janky with.
As for the feel of gaming on a good PC,its night and day.
Maybe the next consoles will be better but playing at sub 30fps on the PS4 Pro feels like garbage in this day and age.
Yeah dude, it was such a real eye opener to see something like 144 fps in destiny2 and Ive been a day one player and never thought it could be so different.
Even thought I have the pro and the OneX and more than likely will buy the series X, I really dont think the PC experience will be equalled.
Went to to OneX a few hours after playing D2 for a few hours and it felt like the game was in slow mo!
Ill persevere with the mouse and Keyboard though. Just messing around with keybinds to try and get a similar feel for a few games.Thecageyone wrote: »You're not alone, I was a console only gamers for years, only got a decent enough PC to consider gaming on this year and it's been a pleasurable experience.

I think Im going to play with M and K as much as possible on FPS stuff for a while and then try one fo the spare Xbox controllers with an adapter and see how it works for FH4 or something. I havent played a driving game on it yet and reckong it going to be seriously impressive! :eek:
Games definitely look so much better too. I was wondering what 1440P 144mhz was going to look like on the PC but with a decent monitor and GPU, its a seriously brilliant experience. I thought I'd miss the big 4k HDR screen but I dont miss the lag at all but up until now, I never really noticed it! Ignorance was bliss!
:o:o
But there is no going back nowDeleted User wrote: »Yup. Blasting out those sweet FPS's is a joy to behold. On the Mouse/KB thing, the muscle memory clicks in in a while and it will be like second nature.
I keep turning on the FPS over lay just to smirk in superiority to my Xbox I took your advice and resisted using the one of the xbox controllers on the PC, Ill persevere with the Key Board, the mouse part is seriously fun for shooters :eek:Welcome to PCMR
Haven't played anything on my Xbox One X in well over a year....I think :eek:
Hey dude, I had to Google PCMR:o Hadnt realised you moved to the dark side too!
But I now cant see myself putting in a preorder for next gens just yet (Im sure I will convince myself I need one). More than likely will buy a second GL850 instead in the coming weeks.
PC's are dangerously addictive with the seriously tempting and never ending upgrade paths :P:P0 -
If I could get along with M&Kb better I'd go all in on that front, but it's the extra layout always stumps me. I will never remember per game what my pinky needs to be hitting for additional moves - I know you can re-assign keys but it just gets too confusing for me. I wish I could get along with that kind of control system bette because I know once you get used to it nothing beats it. I may always be a controller pleb Kudos to you for sticking with though, good luck with it 0

HmmmmChrome, and no.
Have same, however, on FF and have set to delete history/cookies each time close.
Annoying, every time go for search or open Tube.
By the looks of it G want you sign in and sync your settings/preferences.
Fu**tards, and i hate that, but i guess have to live with it if you want to use their services.

What error that is, exact wording?PopePalpatine wrote: »Speaking of Windows updates screwing things up, I wonder if that's why I'm getting DNS errors on my PC, or if it's because my network card is dying.
Did you try ipconfig /flushdns from CMD
