> most people dont know how to do it.

And? Most people don't know how to install an operating system, I could teach a vast majority how in an hour. There are countless guides out there, and at the end of the day it isn't hard work. No soldering, or real skill needed. It is plug and play, like lego. Anyone can learn how to do it. I'm not saying people know how to right now. I'm saying it's easy enough a vast majority could learn how.

You're being ignorant to how easy it is to get into computers. I literally have helped a 12 year old build a PC through Skype. Lets not forget, Steam has more users than the Xbox and PS4 combined, by a lot.

>The only thing I have said that is exaggerating is that the PS4 is a high end PC. A mid end PC is more like it if we are talking about custom built monsters than the general population doesnt have. Personally I would call that ultra high end, because its out of reach for us peons.

Uhhh, so are you somehow saying that you cannot make a custom built PC with mid-range specs? And that this somehow makes the PS4 high-end?

That's not how this works bruv. There arn't differant classes of computers, either it's high-end, or it's not. Just because you bought a prebuilt, doesn't make it less-high end than a custom build of the same specs.

You need to keep in mind, that a mid-end PC would run games at average specs (1080@60), with mid level settings. A high end pc would either creep into higher settings, or higher specs (1440/144hz). etc.

The PS4Pro still lacks 1080p@60 on average, and this would not classify as a mid-range build.

>played Paragon and The Last of Us, they looked tasty as fuck.

Nice blatant lie. Last of Us runs worse on PS4 pro, than regular PS4.

Then there's the fact the PS4 Pro fails to hit 1080p on BF1. Even with dynamic resolution scaling, which can bug out.

>Show me a video of a £350 PC that has better graphics than a PS4pro.

1. It's $500.
   
   
2. $60/year for online play
   
   
3. + Premium on games due to anti-competitive nature of the online stores.
   
   
4. + Having to buy a new console next gen, with 'remastered' versions of your old games
   
   
5. + Inability to use your PS4 Pro for everything in your house, and requiring a PC anyways.
   
   
6. = Much more than you claim.
   
   
7. I haven't made a parts list in a while, /r/buildapc could though.
   
   
   I'd need full software specs of games to even attempt to start benchmarking. You do understand that there's no way to change settings on the PS4 right? There's no way to tell what settings are where because it's all locked up. However, that 7870, $100 2011 card can run GTAV at 1080@52 as seen here, PS4 is stuck at 1080@30.
   
   To get actual in-depth about it, I'd need the PS4's .ini file, because if not I'd have to run a benchmark, compare it to a PS4 video of the exact same, then slight alter one of dozens of settings in the .ini file, then run it again to see what it looks like now.
   
   And here's a taste of the .ini life.
   
   <Shadow_SoftShadows value="1" />
   
   <UltraShadows_Enabled value="false" />
   
   <Shadow_ParticleShadows value="true" />
   
   <Shadow_Distance value="1.000000" />
   
   <Shadow_LongShadows value="true" />
   
   <Shadow_SplitZStart value="0.930000" />
   
   <Shadow_SplitZEnd value="0.890000" />
   
   <Shadow_aircraftExpWeight value="0.990000" />
   
   <Shadow_DisableScreenSizeCheck value="false" />
   
   That's just for Shadows in the game. Then there's the actual textures used. The PS4 has a file size for GTAV of ~50GB, PC is 15GB bigger.
   
   So in order to get a comparison, You'd need to get the raw files from the PS4, replace any textures with what's on it, then play with the settings, all to prove that PC > PS4?
   
   Bitch nobody's got time for that.
   
   You need to keep in mind a PC saves you cash in the long run. It allows you to run games on older hardware ULG mod for Skyrim, as well as grandfathering in 'last-gen' games, so much in fact I got the Skyrim Special edition for free because I had the original. so did lots of people. So right there I saved $60. PC is the long con, you save money and can get better shit because of it. If you're so blind as to think that a PS4 only costs it's purchase cost, you're a nutter.

I'm not in the US, but if you are: this is $6.

Please do yourself a favour and just plug in a keyboard so you can set it on your table or desk or whatever you play at. Communication is key in this game, and when you can't express your opinion, it unfortunately leads to things like this.

I should mention I play on PS4 as well.

Here ya go man. It should take a couple of days, but if you order now, you could have it by next week.

Well that helps! Good luck!

Scroll down to "What are the system requirements to play Paragon" for more info. A GTX460 is roughly $250 on Amazon, although that doesn't look quite right. It should be cheaper than that. Also, that's the minimum graphics card. If you head over to r/buildapc you can find a lot of help for building your own for relatively cheap if that's something you're interested in. If you're starting from nothing, expect to spend ~$500 or so for a PC (including Motherboard, GPU, CPU, Operating System, etc).

This is an ignorant, pointless post. I'd like to share with you the unreal engine documentation, and some standard industry software docs, and a book on C++. I'd invite you to learn these and join an indie team if it's so easy, cheers!

In all seriousness, don't take anything personally. You can also mute people so you won't see their pings. Many people are immature
