Then be clear with what you're actually objecting to.
Here's a 1060 getting 57fps at 1080p low. You can extrapolate what pushing 4X the pixels will do to that number pretty easily.

No of course not, sorry I meant graphical and performance settings. Of course loads of settings are necessary for accessibility and preference.
That's also something to consider, if a game like Bloodborne launched on PC in the same state that it's currently at on PS4, people would be calling it a worse port than RDR2 and would be making a massive fuss. Standards are just higher on PC for these things.
That wouldn't have actually happened though. From Software cleaned up their PC ports a fair bit after Dark Souls. Had Bloodborne been able to release on PC, there's no reason to believe the game would run any worse than DS2 or DS3, both of which had decent ports.
I am aware, that wasn't the point of the post. I was just pointing out that acceptable standards regarding performance etc is just higher on PC.
That's probably true.
This is true. It's the same on AVForums when looking at the discussions of high end TVs, whether plasmas of the past or OLEDs now. Then comparing those discussions to those of the low end TVs. You'd think the high end stuff was terrible and the low end stuff was the best thing since sliced bread. But in reality it's a totally different set of people with very different standards, tolerances and expectations compared to those in the other camp.
Apparently the image being blurry as fuck is the best way to fix draw distance issues.
Honestly I'd rather play my games, not troubleshoot them and not have to put up with garbage console performance/visuals/options either. Luckily PCs exist, which can do just that if you want them to.
Some games do run better. Though admittedly I can only think of one right now (Ninja Gaiden 2)
It's perfectly fine for you to avoid a platform for any reason whatsoever, but you can't tell people what to do in regards to what platform they prefer/recommend.
I am not saying to outright not recommend PC gaming. What I am saying is that people shouldn't blindly recommend it to everyone. And that's just an opinion.
I don't know what that means. In what way is it ok to recommend PC gaming, and in what way is it not?
Of course that's the case since most enthusiasts in the PC gaming scene are not gaming on a 400$ system... More likely then not their gpu alone costs as much. With it the expectations are also higher.
I jumped in at the start of the gen and had heard all the talk about the complexity, was honestly a bit worried.
I've run into way too many random, irritating problems when gaming on PCs that I would never encounter with consoles. Just earlier today, my motherboard's bluetooth adapter started acting up after an hour of working just fine, randomly disconnecting and reconnecting/detecting my xbox one controller over and over again every 10 seconds, even after I switched off the controller. Little things like that just become really frustrating especially when there are no obvious solutions.
It can be just as easy as I explained earlier. My wife is a PC gamer as well and she knows exactly nothing at all about hardware and fiddling with ini files or driver or whatever. So I guess we're two of those luckiest persons on earth here then. Gsync is a tweak-saver though, since I never see much stutter I just never bother to try tweaking things to perfection, I just start the games and make sure vsync is off and start gaming.
Hardware issues are basically the only PC exclusive, don'tcha know?
I know about the controller losing sync, but I've never had the same issue I described with my xbox one. The one that happened to me earlier was strange because my PC kept cycling a controller from connected and disconnected states repeatedly eventhough the controller wasn't even powered on (and everytime it did it, my PC would stutter for a second or 2)
