So overall that solves my question. Not going PC gaming. I already have too many games for consoles and I hate kb & m gaming as well as same 23 games on PC on console and lastly I already have too much debt to pay. Thanks all!
You don't mod Windows on Deck. Just install normally.Steamdeck runs on linux. Yes I know it's been modded to run Windows 10 & 11 but still I don't mod stuff and again money debt issues.
This 100%.The sooner you start building your forever library the better.
Tried kb & m for a year, hate it. I just want a basic PC as I watched a youtube video of a similar guy like me, used apple for so long and switched to PC because it has more inputs and costs less and supports more file types.If you care about best graphics, five times the framerate, and superior keyboard and mouse input for aiming games, and have access to games across all generations, then pc is the only choice.
If you don't really care and want a budget entry just stay with consoles.
Out of curiousity, what did you hate by it, and what type of games do you usually play?Tried kb & m for a year, hate it.
I already own PS12345, GameCube, Wii, Xbox, 360, Series X. I own over 600 games already on all those consoles. All the games I have on steam, ea, origin, epic games I already own on consoles. It's obvious not to right? I'm just worried that there won't be next gen consoles so PC is the future. But it's only been 2 years of PS5, Xbox series. Opinion?
This sounds interesting.That depends, the strength of PC gaming lies in its logevity and customizability. It's always worth it since you'll have endless backwards compatibility and strong 3rd party support (basically 99% of everything is on PC, besides Nintendo). Also, those games are better on a PC because you'll have options. They'll also have a much stronger community years down the line.
Besides that, you'll have access to "free" remasters that you can mold yourself. For example, Fallout: New Vegas, while fantastic, is built on a shit engine that was outdated the moment it released and time hasn't been kind to it. Besides that, it wasn't even finished completely. Can't even imagine playing that on consoles. But with 10 minutes if your time invested (which i'll pay 2 dollar for) you can add my (personal) list:
Essential plugins/bugfix patches to make stuff work (added in this order):
1. New Vegas Script Extender (xNVSE)
2. JIP LN NVSE Plugin
3. JohnnyGuitar NVSE
4. UIO - User Interface Organizer
5. ISControl Enabler and Ironsights adjuster
6. kNVSE Animation Plugin
7. lStewieAl's Tweaks and Engine Fixes
8. ShowOff NVSE Plugin
9. Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP
10. The Mod Configuration Menu (MCM)
Essential mods related to graphics to make stuff as polished as possible (added in this order):
1. New Vegas Mesh Improvement Mod
2. Skinned Mesh Improvement Mod
3. Improved Lighting Shaders
4. NMCs Texture Pack (Small Version) - just wanted something quick to improve some of the textures, huge difference even with the small pack. I didn't add the larger versions because the difference aren't that big and that shit engine can't handle it.
Essential mods related to gunplay (added in this order):
1. Weapon Mesh Improvement Mod
2. Simplified Weapon Retexture Project
3. Hitman47101's Anniversary Anim Pack and Season 1, 2 and 3 - better animations and sound effects.
4. Real Recoil - smooth, realistic recoil.
5. (JAM) Just Assorted Mods - adds stuff life sprint, a quick loot menu, a dynamic crosshair and more. Massively improves the general gameplay, and is a must.
Essential mods related to the User Interface (added in this order):
1. DarnUI
2. Consistent Pip-Boy Icons
3. High Res Local Maps
4. High Resolution Screens
Then Clarity (Darker Nights version) so i could remove the orange tint, and particulary this version to make the nights a little darker which improves the atmosphere.
Finally JSawyer Ultimate Edition. This is my favorite, JSawyer was a mod created by the lead designer of Fallout: New Vegas, Josh Sawyer, adressing many balance changes and bugs unable to be fixed in the 18-month development window for Fallout: New Vegas. JSawyer Ultimate Edition is basically the final version of the game with a lot more extra polish. Makes the game more difficult, but far more balanced and satisfying to play.
Besides NMC, i think all of those combined are like 500mb. Which will give you access to a bonafied remaster which is finished, polished to near perfection (30 hours in, no crash), wrapped in a silky smooth User Interface, full with Quality of Life improvements and with genuine good gameplay. Which you can play in 4k at 60 FPS.
Ditto for Fallout 3, and the older ones - the original Fallout and Fallout 2 (which you should play, no "UOHHO h4vEn'T aG3D W33ll!!!" problems). I'd never play these without some QoL mods. You can't do shit on consoles if the engine powering the game becomes hopelessly outdated to the point it impedes your enjoyment. On PC, you can polish the shit out of it to standards that will yield that positive experience you want. For free.
This sounds interesting.
Got any videos of this running? Also does gamepass NewVegas support the above mods?
So in short, you don't actually want a PC, but you're afraid you might eventually need one because consoles might "die" at some unspecified time in the future.I already own PS12345, GameCube, Wii, Xbox, 360, Series X. I own over 600 games already on all those consoles. All the games I have on steam, ea, origin, epic games I already own on consoles. It's obvious not to right? I'm just worried that there won't be next gen consoles so PC is the future. But it's only been 2 years of PS5, Xbox series. Opinion?
I'm not who you quoted but I hate movement with a keyboard. Using a mouse and especially the keyboard hurts my wrist much faster than a controller would. It's also hard to ignore the 25+ years experience with a controller. I recognized it is a superior input method for selecting/aiming but it isn't for me.Out of curiousity, what did you hate by it, and what type of games do you usually play?
Dude why you're even considering then? For own sake, get rid of that ASAP.Money is an issue. I have a credit card with about $500 debt. Also $838 to Dell for a year old order with there store loan. So overall $1338 debt I owe. I should make paying my debt off more of the priority than buying more stuff with a credit card again. I don't want more debt of course.
That's fair.I'm not who you quoted but I hate movement with a keyboard. Using a mouse and especially the keyboard hurts my wrist much faster than a controller would.

I don't do put together. Sure I could do it but the possibility of wrong mobo size for case could happen, wrong cpu model won't work with mobo, the cables insertion, it's all a big headache!If you have the income then absolutely. A good gaming pc is expensive, but once you build it and see the performance compared to console’s you’ll be more than happy.
Fyi don’t buy a pre build. Do your homework, pick your parts and build it yourself.
Wrong, because of everything a pc can do (even considering only gaming) that a PS5/XBSX. Pc gaming is not only about performance.if you don't spend at least $2-3k, it's really not worth it, because the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are decent machines that can be had for a lot less money.
If it hurts your wrist, you are doing something very wrong, because your wrist should stay on a "perfect" natural position on the keyboard.the keyboard hurts my wrist
You wish. Only a few titles have this and the problem stops after a while. Plus you still get better everything else of pc version advantages.but modern titles suffer from shader compilation stutter and run much better on consoles.

The second part is about non gaming stuff. I am only talking about gaming.Did you miss the second half of my post? I literally said that.

that's a shitton of consoles. that being said if you like mods and having total control of your games do it. if you don't give a shit dont pull the triggerI already own PS12345, GameCube, Wii, Xbox, 360, Series X.

Cheaping too much is not. But getting a pc with more or less the same "power" can be good enough.I guess I misread. Still don't think cheaping out on a PC is a good idea,

Because the way you said implies that every modern title has stuttering. It's only a few that are DX12 and don't have pre compilation. Stray runs flawless here as it is DX11. The problems people were having with stray are not related with shaders compilation.Why are you saying "you wish"? I don't know what you're implying there. Let's get this straight I'd much rather have played Stray on my PC, but the bottom line is it runs better on PS5. The stutter on PC is insufferable. PC titles are plagued with stutter at the moment.
Yeah after 10 years I still don’t have it all in muscle memory and digital movement is so 1995. I do play first person games with mouse and keyboard but I’m not good at it. I play all third person games with controller. Elden Ring, Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, etc.I'm not who you quoted but I hate movement with a keyboard. Using a mouse and especially the keyboard hurts my wrist much faster than a controller would. It's also hard to ignore the 25+ years experience with a controller.

If you FORCE DX12, that not only is not the default render as you also lose performance.
