PC vs. Consoles

Started by Lag2 pages

To me console's are better. They provide more games, game types, online play, convenience, and you don't have to buy a new one every other week. It's not that PC's have to many buttons, one of my favorite games is Steel Battalion, and I don't think that PC's are better for FPS games, which are my favorite type of games: HALO, Rainbow6 3, Ghost Recon, Red Faction, did I mention HALO, I think it boils down to convenience. When I buy games I want to play them and I want to play them now. I don't want to download anything and I don't want to worry if my computer can take it. I want to buy a game and know I'm going to be able to play it no matter what. Also,like anything, if the game doesn't work just take it back and get a new one, no patch downloading or any of that crap. Consoles, in my eyes, are just all around better. This doesn't mean I won't play a game on PC, I mean a game's a game no matter what it's on. 🙂

It all depends on the genre of the game; some are better for PC's and others are better for console's. Updates for Pc's can be downloaded for free via the internet.

The consoles are better with games like sonic and fighting dames aso, where the pc is better with strategic games, RPG, Car games, and 3D shooters🙂

Yeah it's also free for X-box. They have games with downloadeable material such as NFL Fever and Splinter Cell. Granted you have to pay a yearly 50 dollar fee to play live, but what's $50.00 a year. Whatever PC's have console's have and then some.

Im a PC gamer all the way,
i like the many buttons,
FPS on consols are just wayyy tooo confusing with aiming and such,
also, games like sims and other RTS on consols are just ???
but i don't even have a consol soo....

PC's are factually better for FPS, the amount of accuracy you have with a mouse/keyboard control far surpasses the control you have with a joystick.

I basically only play PC games right now, the only games consoles do better are Fighting, and action adventure.

And the graphics on a PC can be absolutely staggering.

I spend the majority of my free time on PCs if not for work orientated operations then gaming, im addicted to FPS (First Person Shooters) however i also own all three of the major brand consoles currently available on the market and one thing i must say in there defence is that it is far easier to play direct multiplayer (i.e. between you and your mates) on a console providing you have all the neccesary perphiral devices then setting up a PC based LAN (Local Area Network) meet and my three mates usually come home at lunch and have a round or two of HALO on the X-Box which is great for quick 'switch on 'n' play' action particuarly on a time constraint where as when i am not in this situation i tend to stick to my PC and its online gaming capablities, i tend to not play much console gaming unless i purchase a new game or have a 'hankering' to play one of my older titles.

consoles hands down..i mean consoles are made purely FOR gaming, it's what they're here for.
