I love my €1200 PC. Can jump from The Witcher 3, MGSV and other demanding games on Ultra to Downwell, Crypt of the Necrodancer and Undertale. Honestly, if I had to choose in some sort of bizarre Room 101 situation I'd probably end up keeping some of the latter examples over the former ones. One might almost suggest the size or technological bona fides of the game matter little when the games are all, y'know, great

And best of luck running Broforce on a Megadrive. PS4 barely keeps up with the damn thing at times :pac:

Seriously thinking about building a gaming PC if I can save my Dollars & Cents. What's the specs of your PC? you seem fairly knowledgeable on every subject matter you post about on Boards LOL.

good luck. PC gaming quickly becomes expensive and tiring.
I spent 1000's trying to keep up and wish I had got a console much sooner.
When you end up spending the equivalent of PS4 just on the graphics card alone then you will understand its a no brainer.

Consoles, just plug and play anywhere, comfy chair in front of a big telly, low noise, unplug and take to your mates, no updating drivers, great online play, no worrying about if your specs are high enough or you need to splash more cash.

PC's, big, noisy unless you throw a lot of money at it, power needs more extreme cooling, always needs upgrading for the latest games, patching, virus's, pretty much stuck in one position in the house

been there done that, no thanks!

Anyone else suffering from increasingly long loading times in Broforce? I'm talking 40-60 seconds between levels. Really starting to get annoying.

Even just restarting a level after all my bros were killed was taking 30 seconds plus. Ended up just switching it off.

Well I can only guess you did no reasearch before getting into building your PC(s), I've built many over the years and I'm not well off, I don't have 1000s to spend and yet I tend to have a PC thats always pushing high/ultra on the newest games.

That said I'm not some diehard PCMR card carrier, I have a PS4, Wii U and 3DS and love the lot of them.

But the above diatribe needs to be taken with a large dose of salt.

Lol, just lol. I BUILD pc's for a living and I stand by my "diatribe".
Put up the specs of your PC built for the same price as a console which can run the same games with all the goodys turned on.
The poster referred to a €1200 PC and was talking about building from scratch.
Of course its cheaper when you can reuse parts, but its still not as cheap as just buying a console and then never having to touch it again until a newer one comes out.
Plus my points about ease of plug and play and portability stand up

Of all the threads that are regularly bitchy can we please not PS4 vs PC here

It came out 12 months ago on Plus, did you have it in your basket then, it is meant to be on sale all through March so could be one of those nice mistakes they sometimes make.

I downloaded it at the time but just checked the store and it shows I do not own it. Funny game but it scales up to annoying quickly.

Broforce has been patched to Version 1.01, haven't played ywt but hoping it solves the player freezing at the start of levels/ frame rate issues

The 1.01 patch came out last week and did not fix the freezing, it is a Unity issue that is causing the problems according to Digital Foundry.

Just a quick question about PS Plus.

I installed the Beta of Track Mania Turbo today and was offered a 2 day free trail of PS Plus to cover the Beta period, as I didnt renew my membership this month.

Is this a common offer for Multiplayer Betas?

Was my first time ever seeing it, and its totally separate from the free trial you get when you buy a console.

How often do the Playstation Plus 1 year subscriptions go down in price?
I know its gone down to 37.50 now but the free games on PS4 lately are rubbish and I only have a PS4, I don't have vita or PS3 so was thinking of waiting until they have some decent games but don't want to have to pay 50 for a subscription.

That's the first time it's gone down in my 3 years on it and it's not open to current members. They did a "buy 1 year, get 3 months extra free" back in 2014. Nothing since then. Argos messed up last year with 1 year for €15, didn't last long though. Prices generally stay constant at €49.99 everywhere except Argos at €47.99 (I think)
