5 Reasons PC Gaming Is Better than Console Gaming

1. Better Hardware, Better Visuals and Faster Frame Rate

Many console gamers argue that the substance of the game trumps how it looks; that is, the story is more worthwhile than the graphics. There's a reason that you choose a Ferrari over a Ford Focus, though, and that's because looks and performance both matter. Having a better "motor" means your trip is going to be much more enjoyable. In a lot of ways, comparing a PC to a console is like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford Focus.

2. Game Mods

When a game releases on a console, you get the content that comes with that particular game, and that's it. When that same game is on the PC, however, the community playing it continuously creates new and interesting content for others to enjoy. Even old, outdated games can be injected with new life through the installation of a new texture mod.

3. Universal Backward Compatibility

Upset that you can't play your favorite Xbox 360 game on your Xbox One? With a PC, you need not fret. While hardware is constantly getting better, PCs never make it impossible to play your favorite game again. Even outdated DOS titles can be manipulated and experienced on new machines through emulators.

4. Unlimited Controller Options

Are you a mouse-and-keyboard person, or do you prefer a gamepad? Even those wonderful controllers that come with consoles can be connected to a PC, ensuring that whatever you prefer, it's available.

5. Upgradeable Hardware

When a new console is announced, there are dozens of articles and discussions about how powerful the new hardware is. You know who never gets involved in that conversation? PC gamers. Because PC gamers know that if a part of their hardware isn't performing up to snuff, they can simply invest some money into making it better, with no new machines to buy.

closet lemming hiding behind PC now

Damn, TC. I didn't know about all of that.

No one has ever bothered bringing those points up. Very good.

Freedom stop please.

What did I do? :(

Boy TC, you sure have been making alot of PC loving threads. So that means you're officially a PC gamer, right? right?

Meh lemming confirmed. Only 5 reasons? Ugh.

Don't worry about it, man.

So it kinda like when Blu-ray beat out HD-DVD and all the HD-DVD fanboys jumped on the DD bandwagon?

Ba regardless he's your re**** now hermits embrace your new brother with open arms.

You're not fooling anyone with your "I'm a hermit" shtick.

If I made a thread like this but for consoles it would've been locked in 2.3 seconds by the hermit mods (you know who you are).

There's a difference in your threads and this... This thread is obviously common knowledge and should be locked anyways. But, your threads are splattered bullshots all over. Hermit mods or not you don't make good threads.

Pretty sure he's a lem.

QFT I've tested it.

While the majority of older games work on windows, there are still some compatibility issues. For example, Oddworld Abe's Oddysee's cutscenes don't work on Windows 8; I've been having to use a laptop that has Windows 7 to get a working complete experience.

That being said backwards compatibility is leagues above consoles, and the overall preservation of the past, for not only Old PC games but old console games, still gives PC an advantage.

prove it

I think he's just an all around fakeboy

5 reasons why PC gaming is better than Console gaming.

1. Steam
2. GOG
3. GMG
4. Humble Bundle
5. Amazon

Run it in Windows XP mode (select from properties) . I was having same issue with Warcraft 3 on Windows 7 but it solved my problem .

Sure he just didn't jump ship? I mean when he was a lemming his threads weren't much better, and by much I mean not at all better.

Ya know I'm starting to see that. Seems a bit more obvious here.

@FreedomFreeLife:

I agree with your number one because those have become the "craze" this gen. If its of dire importance, why settle for console? "well PS4 is a better value". No. I can do a helluva lot more with my PC than I can with a console.

Well this topic is new. I'm not sure System Wars was aware of any of that.

Stop it TC, we can't handle the truthhhhhh :( :( :(

Persona 5 alone make the console better than PC for me. At end of the day its all about games and If PC dosent have the games I care about then all those advantages means nothing to me.

We get it. You're a Lemming.

Ya know, people don't care anymore.

Hmmmm... where do I go from properties. I'm not seeing the option; I have Windows 8. The game runs fine on Windows 7.

Some pretty tired arguments there in the OP. The only thing that matters to me is that the games are cheaper.

I have to take issue with your first point. Not everyone that plays games on their PC has the hardware for better performance relative to the consoles. The point isn't wrong but I think it requires an asterisk.

Slam-mutha-fuggin'-dunk.

isn't there a tab that says Compatibility?

I'd go with larger video game selection and that oftentimes the price of PC games is lower.

lol what I don't get is why he doesn't just start with a new account. I'd bet he's done it before...

What should we call our growing collection of XBox refugees? Lemmits? Hermings?

fixed

Oh and TC, you know you didn't write that shit in the OP. Give credit to whoever did.

@santoron:

Or, I dunno, gamers?

Nah, I'll stick with "oftentimes"

Cdkeyprices has never steered me wrong. Dem keys fell off the back of the truck.

Which makes it sketchy.

@clyde46:

And not my problem so long as the keys work.

If the key has been stolen, it could be banned and then you are locked out of the game you paid for and there is nothing you can do...
