Because everybody has 120 USD just lying around to throw at video games and has no need to spend even somewhat responsibly. /s
It doesn't even stop anyone who really wants it. Anyone can play whatever they want in any country they want provided they're willing to jump through some hoops. It can be imported or torrented or downloaded or streamed. If you're really desperate you can have it put on an external hard drive in another country and have the drive mailed to you.
Yeah, no. Frame-rate (along with some other factors) determines minimum input lag and any input lag caused by the framerate is added to the total. It has a real measureable impact on reaction time.
I don't care what you'd wager.
Only on consoles, and even then that's often not true. Nintendos 1st party games typically run at 60 (BOTW being the exception, not the rule.) Fighting games on every platform almost always run at 60. Shooters on eve...
they can be run in a virtual machine, it's just more work.
You don't have to use the most recent version of windows, or you can dual boot and use windows 10 and windows 7.
It's also not a load of BS at all. If I decide I want to play a game released on the apple 2 in 1979, I can do it with my current PC.
1: So? What do I care what "lots of people prefer?" You can buy a moniter for your PS4 too if that's what you prefer. That doesn't mean we add the cost of a moniter to the PS4.
2: Depends entirely on the computer and the game. You can run the games in a VM and old games are easy to brute force if the VM or WINE isn't enough for you. Also, if you think they aren't legit, find another seller. Windows 7 isn't expensive, and (as with games) peopl...
It's called Fear of Missing out (not to mention pre-order restriced stuff is often objectively better than it's competition) and they are deliberatley exploiting it. They aren't "rewarding" pre-orders, they're punishing good consumer behavior by charging extra for the same product (or denying parts of it to other outright.) It's not collectors items for super-fans, it's actual in game stuff that impacts the play experience.
The rest of you...

I honestly couldn't tell you. On an I3 I'm not really worried about heat, the stock heat sync is fine, the fan is just in case. Also noise isn't an issue because my PC is under my TV half a room away, so it'd have to be like a 747 engine for me to hear it over whatever else is going on.
Unless you're gonna overclock (I don't think that mobo is one of the ones with a bios that lets you) then you can save yourself the money.
It doesn't even matter. Maybe people are all nostalgic about it for a reason.
Like, the closest thing to a CPRG I'd ever played before Pillars of Eternity was Dragon Age Origins. There was no nostalgia for a genre abandoned since 2002, just a really good game, and now that I've discovered what people liked about it in the first place I've gone back to play several of the older ones (even with the horrible mechanics of Fallout 1 and D&D 2nd edition.)

Oh, sorry hon. The article lists it at 443 usd.
If you include a Mouse and Keyboard (they didn't) ~460 USD.
If you include a copy of windows 7 ultimate off ebay (instead of using a free OS, of which there are many) ~465USD.
Where is the total price for the PS4 after you factor in the yearly PSN subscription for online play?
It's closer to 40 actually. The apple 2 had games in 1977, 40 years ago, and it's not even the first PC.
Oh, also, *technically* not true. The fat PS3 (the one that plays PS2 games) has backwards compatibility to 1994 and it ceased production (and likely got it's last AAA game) this year, giving it 23 years of backwards compatibility.
No, not 1443, 443. I can manage the same thing for only slightly more, watch.

PSN alone has cost someone who bought a PS4 in 2013 200 dollars.
BTW, that computer is 13x12x16. So it is a bit over cubic foot. For reference, the PS4 is 10x2x12, you shouldn't have trouble fitting such a thing into an entertainment center.
And for ...
Actually a lot of PC gamers are still using Windows 7 Ultimate. Performance wise, it's very, very close (often slightly better) but without the privacy concerns.
No, I'm not crazy, and yes, you can. In fact I do. I sit crosslegged on the couch with the keyboard resting on my knees. I used to use one of those adjustable TV dinner desk things but it broke when I moved. That's not a "mcgyver solution" it's a plain old solution.
Do you add the cost of a TV to a console?
Linux is free/ You can get Widows 7 Ultimate for under 10 USD on ebay
You can play with a keyboard and mouse just fine on the couch (you can buy a desk or platform for about 20 USD, or you can make one for half that in lumber) If you're really cheap you can just put the keyboard in your lap and the mouse on a cardboard box beside you.
A wired controller, if you want one, is ~15 bucks but ag...
1: google what it's like to work at a place like EA or Ubisoft. Spoiler: It's exploitation.
2: Yeah, trying to bully people into buying a game before it's out based on literally nothing but pre-release info the company trying to sell you a product has exclusive control over by punishing you for not buying early by carving out sections of the game is unfair. They're punishing you for being a good consumer and waiting for 3rd party info and reviews that are m...
Racing game hon. Split second reactions are important, thus framerate is important. It literally physically impacts peoples ability to play and enjoy the game.
Uh, wrong? If the fastest move in the game is 10 frames, that means while you *should* have 7 or 8 of those to react properly, you instead have 3. That's a big ****ing deal.
Wether or not it's a luxery has literally no bearing, and just because some companies take exploitation of customers or (in this case) workers much farther doesn't mean that isn't what EA is doing.
What you've done is the equivilant of saying "Serial killer? There are governments and effective governments that kill thousands of people per year, Ted Bundi isn't a serial killer," which, needless to say, isn't an argument. One is worse, both ...
That's also not counting that mmos require good internet, which baiscally means the only place you could realistically play one is somewhere it would already be easy to take a (significantly more capable) laptop.
Though I don't quite agree on the skills point. I've used a controller to play SWTOR (joy2key, xpadder, antimicro.) Using shoulder/trigger buttons as ctrl, shift, alt and shift+alt you can turn the 8 potential inputs (4 face buttons and Dpad) into 40. N...
