The approach to obtaining Bloodborne is fine—it doesn’t cause any harm. Desiring a title to remain exclusive forever feels like excessive resentment. Still, being made to feel entitled and let down when it isn’t available on PC is truly disheartening.
I’m confident in my choices and always strive to improve. I invest in quality equipment and spend wisely, which is something I take pride in. Others may prefer different lifestyles or spending habits, but for me, a PC offers the best performance and versatility. Many gamers assume they can’t afford it, but with the right setup, it’s completely accessible. A top-tier system or a console both work well, but a PC gives you the flexibility to enjoy gaming on your terms.
That's correct there. If they were more affordable, they'd likely change things, but you're missing a couple key points—they aren't free, and most people don't focus on shadow resolution or draw distance in games. It's just a minor detail. Some individuals spend thousands chasing top settings, which is their passion, but most gamers just want to play the games. A build costing 2500k+770 isn't exceptional either way; it's not the best by any standard.
I assembled my setup four years back, and it still handles everything fine—especially with the new 4K display. In the near future I plan to upgrade to an i7 4790K with a few 390Xs or a Titan X. You’ll notice I mentioned “the best I could afford” rather than the absolute top-tier price. I could easily purchase the finest quad Titan GPUs, some 1TB SSDs, and surround sound monitors for around five thousand dollars tomorrow without raising an eyebrow at the cost. But that doesn’t mean I’m ready to go there. Having a machine that’s way beyond what I actually need isn’t worth it. My i5 2500K still delivers over 100 FPS in most AAA games, so there’s little urgency for anything more until I figure out which GPUs are necessary.
I share your view, I don’t expect major upgrades like you. My models have 3570k and 760, they work well across most titles. The only game I’d really want better performance in is The Evil Within You—it felt like the best value I could afford. Speaking of displays, the 28" 4K TN panel you mentioned? What were your thoughts on it? How much did you pay for it?
