Ah, a classic
also, using a pc keyboard has around 100+ buttons, while a controller has around 17 buttons (including joysticks). so, what were you saying about PC and consoles having the same amount of complexity
But do you have to use all those buttons? No, just because an elevator has 100 buttons, doesnât mean you have to push each one.
You only have to use a few keys on every basic game. (WASD, Spacebar, scroll wheel, and mouse movement)
But other games like ArmA, uses more than the basic keys, which is why youâll never see the full version of ArmA on consoles.

overall it is still more complicated on a pc and more relaxed on a console.

Thatâs more opinion based, you havenât given any facts, or any reason for me, or any others to believe it is more relaxed.

Console gaming is more relaxed⌠Thereâs really no set up for graphics, or any weird hiccups because the game was optimized for one set of chips instead of the chips in your pc.
No mess with constantly changing drivers either.
Also, a bit hard to use a keyboard and mouse while sitting back on a couch.
With the new consoles, streaming is easier, and OBS is a POS, IMO to set up and all if you use it for both streaming and recording.
Not saying PC gaming is bad, I enjoy it a lot! But I do miss the comfort of a couch and the more plug-n-play style with little fiddling around with settings.

Good points. It used to not be as bad, for optimization for each card, and such. It used to be who was better than the other. But now itâs all about money anymore, they pay one company a little, to make it run better on their cards. Same with consoles, except for exclusives.
Drivers donât tend to be an issue anymore, not with all the new stuff coming out, it pretty much does everything with you. (Years ago, it wasnât âhardâ it was just more steps)
And yeah, I could see that. But for my type of gaming, I donât like to be sitting back in a couch, but thatâs my opinion, others may vary.
And oh yeah, god yeah youâre right about that. Iâve heard good/bad things about OBS, but Iâve got other programs, so I havenât had a reason to touch it, yet. (Also, with the new Game DVR out on AMD, you can stream straight some it, without taking a hit in performance, dunno if itâs on shadowplay yet though).
But good points. I do see why some people like it, but it seems like the most used games on console, tend to be better suited for PC gaming anyways. I guess Wii(u) is the best for just casual gaming.

At the end of the day it does rely more on preferece and I personally could play with both controller and keyboard for most games aside from first person shooters and tycoons.
I really should look into that shadowplay and the amd one. OBS seems to work well once the settings are in order but until then, itâs very stubborn. Also seems to depend on how strong your rig is. Since as you know mine is sub-par, it took me a while to get the settings down.

i say consoles=pc overall just leave it consoles will never die out
Consoles will die out soon 
Iâm pretty sure that because of the increased cost and Microsoft going bankrupt, it wont wait. Sony cant possibly hold the entire console market themselves.

why so mean to console players man!
The developers are the issue, not the players, because of console PC is getting piss easy games, games that can be played blindly, and entire features are getting removed because of console
For example, the ballistic shield was recently added into BF4, at first DICE wanted the shield in your right hand while holding your pistol in your second hand, but because of the PS3 and Xbox 360 they had to scrap that idea
that would be cool but also OP
It wouldnât
I think it would work quite well, for example your gunna have a huge shield blocking most of your FOV, so you wonât be as accurate. And your still prone to grenades
XBOX MASTERACE!
Huh, huh, this make anyone mad?
No, I am kidding. I like PC gaming way better than console but, I still love consoles so to tell you the truth, I do not care what I play on. I play on my phone a lot. I am in my phone so much that I am on my phone as I post this.

Try amdâs Game DVR, got shipped out in the last Gaming Evolve update. Itâs really nice, didnât notice a single frame drop on a i5-4440 and a 270x. (In minecraft, when recording with shaders, it went up a frame).
@azertyman Consoles will never be like PCâs, and consoles will die out. Look at them now, they already are.
And the riot shield is not OP? You can shoot the glass out of the top and headshot someone, it just protects you really from crowded hallways.
