I've read many PC vs. Consoles thread and it has been annoying me to no end. I don't get why you people always fight and debate each other. PC is a very great platform. The king of graphics and game technology. The king of RTS, WRPG, FPS, etc. But you know, to get full experience on gaming you need both PC and Consoles. Tell me is there a game on PC that's like Mario, Legend of Zelda, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.? No. I know most PC gamers don't care for console exclusive games but they're usually different than most PC games and this is why PC + Consoles is the best for a gamer who wants to get full experience on gaming. I don't get this barrier. It's only made of stupidity.

You should post this kind of crap discussion into system wars if you want it to go somewhere. PC has never been in any competition, it's console gamers that have to make up some kind of absurd reason to justify their purchase by saying "My epeen has more electrons than yours" draggin PC into it.

For an objective comparison, the arena is the example that suits best: console are gladiators, PC is the emperor looking down, laughing and deciding who is to die first.

There is no such thing as barriers.

and that's why i made this thread. In nintendo forums, if there's a thread bashing on another platform it gets locked right away. Here, it's ok. Why is that?

i'm talking about gamers here not the hardware. PC gamers tend to generate a negative aura on console gamers and vice versa. I have read some people say "Console sucks" or something like that here in PC games forum.

We simply don't care.

Console fanatists take it personal when another console fanatist says his console his one's better or the other one is worse, and there begins the system wars.

Notice that even you wrote "PC vs Consoles" and not "PC vs PS3"/"PC vs X360"/"PC vs Wii".

There's always going to be an extreme on both sides. You'll have the incredibly stupid and illogical monkeys that are the console fanboys, and the stuck up elitists that are some PC gamers. Neither extreme is good. You just have to ignore them and let yourself have the benefits of both forms of gaming hardware.

I've got my 360 handy right here - and yes I'll be needing it. For one thing, and for one thing only. FIFA 10. I'm a FIFA online addict. I finally had to throw my copy of 09 into the trash because that's all I was playing. I would get so excited during the online matches that I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. One Saturday afternoon, I spent six hours straight, playing online, and knew I had a problem. Yes, I'm a Fiffaholic, and I will be again in October.

there are some console games id like to play (on the ps3), and i may well selll my 360 to buy one, the last time i played on it was a few weeks ago and, having not turned it on for months, i was shocked at how dated the games looked, the tech really does look on its last legs.

While I admit PC is superior to consoles in almost everyway (and I'm mainly a console gamer, just got a gaming computer, so that may change soon), some games on the consoles are incredibly good, and PC gamers miss some of the greatest gems in gaming (Golden Eye, Metal Gear Solid, Zelda, Mario, God of War, etc.)

You need to understand that these forums show a minority group of PC's sales. People's opinions on here do not truly matter. If everyone hates and trolls on Gears 2, let them, it will sell regardless. If people absolutely love and praise a gem of a game doomed to fail, it will still fail (I couldn't actually think of a PC game for this,Zak And Wiki on the Wii springs to mind in general though). We are a minority, and we make little impact in the grand scheme of the economic side of gaming. If these people want to troll consoles, let them. In the end, opinions are opinions, and it makes no difference to anyone.

The only barrier between consoles and console gamers for me is that consoles are harder to control and alot of console gamers have this strange idea that our system is so much more :question:inferior:question: to theirs (at least some of the ones I've met online).

I agree with this. Don't be influenced by just any opinion on the Internet unless it can be reasoned and justified. All I can say is, you have to deal with these type of threads. Just ignore them. If you create a thread like this it is just asking for a war between consoles and PC

Yup. I remember talking to a guy who ownd a ps3 saying not even pc games look better then killzone 2. I laughed because I assumed he was kidding. He even thought it looked better then Crysis by far because the pc can't handle that good of graphics. Sigh ignorance. But this is the wrong place to put a topic like this i'm surprised so far there hasn't been any flaming yet tbh.

Gears of War, Halo, Fable are all franchises that have been released on the PC and their sales aren't exactly stellar...as you are trying to paint them to be. In fact, GoW/HALO pretty much were largely met with indiferrence and were pretty lukewarm. That said, all these bickerings are not meant to be taken seriously and if you are affected so much by the Platform wars, you have some insecurity issues. Just have fun.

Give it more time, I thought like this too. You have to get to the point where you get engrossed in the plot and gameplay. It's a truly magical experience when you reflect on the memories.

I like to play on PC because it is better period. There are some good console exclusives and I would mind consoles too much if console fan boys weren't constantly calling them "next gen" or saying that they are better than PCs. At least I find Wii enjoyable because it has an unique control, it is innovative and it assumes that it is a toy.

Yep in an ideal world I would have all console and a PC. As it is I try and maintain a current gen console along with my PC (my platform of choice). That said I don't see the point of this thread it will only attract flame wars :(

Epeen measuring is always fun to read! It often gets sillier and sillier after post no.2 in the thread :D

There will always be conflict between the systems, until we one day can finally all play together online regardless of systems.
And please, don't reply with the"mouse and keyboard superiority" arguments, the consoles have them too you know :)

Oh yeah, before I forget, I'm a PC gamer! And really don't care...

Yar this is best left to the system wars forum.
