Yes.

Dell gives me an MSRP of 499$ on it cheapest model without controller or games

Hunting. Personal defense. Target shooting. Hand-eye coordination. Appreciation of metallurgical and mechanical craftsmanship, and historical context. All reasons, among many more, that people own guns, even in context where the guns are rarely or never used.

To quote myself:

Not really. I could name at least 3 devices in my general vicinty that I could write this very comment with that is not my PC. And if going by assumptions I can in turn not take the freedom to state something as fact. I am not saying you can’t make good and/or cheap computer. But most of these videos that explicitly…

That’s your argument? Just because it can kill a person, it’s effectiveness doesn’t matter beyond that threshold? We just count a knife, a gun, and an atomic bomb as equal then, no matter factors like range, execution time, force it takes to operate these devices?

No, because we could then easily add 150$ for a monitor, 100$ for a desk, 100$ for a chair, Speaker systems, etc, etc.
You have to define it down to the most basic parts it needs to work. A PC needs an OS to work, and most people are still too afraid of Linux. Also you need Input, otherwise all you have is a box…

And even those are missing some crucial parts like an OS license or Input devices, just so they brag about that it costs as much as a console. And if you call them up on that they excuse it with ‘just use what you already have’. No, it’s tabula rasa, if you compare one to the other, you have to include 100% of parts…

London the most violent city, yet 4 US cities have been named under last years 50 cities with the highest homicide rate per capita. Besides if you compare Londons knife+gun related incidents to americas gun related incidents, you have to take in americas knife related incidents as well.

Tiny Number? The US has one of the highest firearm related death rates in the western world. So no, tiny is a relative term and can not be applied in this case. And where do you think many of those illegaly obtained guns came from? Stolen or traded in from people that did legally own them.

A far far less effective weapon. Sorry to piss on your piss with logic

TBH I’ve been playing much more tavern brawl recently than any of the regular modes. Just more fun I think

Not really, since no matter the resolution, games are and are still becoming more demanding. Modern Consoles could easily run 1080p if the expectations of graphical fidelity would stay on let’s say 2013 level but no, peoples expectations grow constantly with time. Hardware sets a limit and this limit will be breached…

Consoles have always been drastically underpowered compared to Pcs and yet it worked. So will it this time. Maybe even more easily

You do know that consoles have ALWAYS been dramatically underpowered compared to PCs, right? And yet it worked everytime.

Do you have ps3 or a modern Android device ? Because Season 1 Episode 1 is free on PSN and the Google Play store. And after playing that you know exactly wheter you would like this game or not.

You can play Season 2 without 1 the same way as you can watch Empire strikes back without watching SW first, which means basically not at all. Get Season 1 and also its DLC ‘400 Days’ and play those first.

What about MGS: Twin Snakes? Or Fire Emblem Pool of Radiance? Tales of Symphonia? Baten Kaitos?
