A challenge for console gamers!!

Find me ONE FUNCTION that a console can do better than PC.

ONE.

(DISCLAIMER: Exclusive games that boil down to preference DO NOT COUNT as a FUNCTION)

PS

Here is a function that a PC can do while consoles are FORBIDDEN to do it:

License involving mods:

Ease of use.

I wouldnt call standing up and switching discs as ease of use...

PC can do it better by simply launching the game.

I close one program and click on another Steam title to play something else. What could be easier than that?

Doesn't cause acne or obesity.

A dedicated game console is meant for one thing--to play games. Proper development cycles provided to developers is a function of a games console. Innovation and evolution of control input is a function of a games console. This leads to either an evolution or revolution in game design. When the boundaries of one console gets pushed too far, it warrants the next cycle. That will go over most people here though, I'm sure.

Play Forza Horizon 2.

Doesn't prevent one from getting laid.

@Heirren: Not i got. It's still not really a feature. It's simply an evolution of hardware that allows devs to do more. Basically what Star Citizen is on PC.

Doesn't answer the OP's question, has dumb has he tends to be, sadly

The games trade in better.

well, for a person who is just getting into gaming i'd say consoles offer the lowest cost barrier to getting started. pretty simple to use and set up. supported by a company who you can contact for tech support - they're good for n00bs. n00bs exist. sell 'em somethin'.

They're better at being consoles

Checkmate

The installation process on a console is generally quicker than on a PC, so I guess that's a good thing. And a PS4, Xbox One and Wii U are a lot cheaper than a PC made for gaming, not that I believethat's an actual 'function' but it's one of the reasons why I spend many of my hours gaming on a console rather than on a PC.

I have completely left the days of PC gaming behind me nowadays, except for a little Football Manager now and then. My reason is simple; console just fits me better. I prefer to lay down in my bed with a controller in my hand and the game on the TV instead of sitting by my desk gaming on my computer. I don't care what's actually the 'best' option and I don't give a flying **** if the graphics or fps are better on a PC, It's just not my thing. It was when I was younger, but today it's Xbox all the way.

I can feel your anger

Play games at max settings for whole generation without upgrade

Local Multiplayer (on a single system)

Its not that consoles do it better.......they just do it more often, usually with Multiplats.....

Anyway don't bother, many console gamers are extremely misinformed about Computers, they still think they are complicated to use and can't be plugged into a TV..... truth is I actually found its aactually the same, just plug in the HDMI cable and the Graphics Card does all the rest, and at 1080p 60fps to boot.

No need to worry about specs?

lol, "max settings"

One function.....................Update itself.

It is a pain in the ass on PC that I can't join a lobby because I am not running version 4.93094322 let alone trying to find that damn update. PC sucks for this. Console Rulz.

Has a name like True_gamer.....is a hermit.

Thread dumbed.

They actually buy there games. You (as admitted) do not.

Therefor: Publishers make money on consoles.

I honestly don't care that my pc beats my ps4 and other consoles I enjoy them all equally. It's kind of pathetic that tc is trying to stir up an argument that console gamers can't win

Yeah all games runs at max, all tweaked and rdy out of the box !!!

LOL at console MAX setting so in other words it's the consoles max setting but not PC since PC can play games at much higher settings and resolutions. My GTX 780ti will be able to out perform the PS4 of the entire life of the PS4. It might be play the later games at PC max settings but it'll definitely be higher than the PS4 settings hahahahaha

supermax

Yup easy of use & trophies/achievments

@lostrib: "lol, max settings"

Lol...out of the box good port.

@mr_huggles_dog: I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean

Don't challenge me, come on.

I haven't encountered that problem in ages...All games on Steam update themselves and won't allow you to start the game without the update. Same with Origin and Uplay.

They are good for keeping kids quiet during the holidays when its too cold for them to go outside.

they make a nice footrest

xbox go to sunset overdrive?

how about the ability to control my TV, sound system, and console via voice commands and via my cell phone. To have it turn everything on and launch a game while I'm in another room so its ready by the time i sit down and grab my controller? The ability to pause my game turn off my console and come back 2 days later with it still paused in the same spot? that's just off the top of my head actually

you need to make sure the settings are right to work with your pc depending on its power. Iv gamed on pc before and thats one thing that always bugged me.

Different games, different platform, just dream on. Your gtx 780Ti dont max the settings for PC games

It's about having fun people. It doesn't matter where you game so long as you have fun.

One time setup brah, just like the first thing I do when I play a new game on any console is see what settings they have to offer.

As the owner of a 780 Ti, I'd like to know which games you think it can't max out. I haven't run across one yet.

Plays all them multiplats without needing to upgrade obviously.

That is because you dont have max settings, which is 4k resolution + all jumbo mumbo at max.

@commonfate: na I hear what he is saying. Continually going back into the settings in the midst of a game because of frame hiccups here and there. That always bothered me too.

You won't max out far future games with it.=p

Will still play a lot better than current consoles, A LOT.

That depends on your settings, like for 1080p maybe with 60FPS for a lot of games, but 1440p and higher, holy crap, not to mention those VRAM requirements, and mods if you want to go that route(since most PC gamers do).

consoles are better at having the games I care about. Games like Gone Home, Chivalry, The Forest, Goat simulator... Seriously, you can keep them. Although with these new consoles there has been a rising trend on porting those shitty PC games like Warframe to consoles.

But then again, no Yakuza 5, my most anticipated game of the year is not on PC and neither are Guilty Gear XRD, Persona 5 or FFXV so why would I need a PC for? To play some shitty multiplat game I don't care about with better graphics? And not to mention keyboard and mouse.

Most PC games are by default k/m but when you put a controller you have to configure it and not all games allow you to play with controller either. And PC gamers might talk as much shit as they want about k/m's superiority but a similar argument happened on the FGC but look at who won Evo last year... A guy with a PS1 controller.

PC offers a lot of customization and depending how you see it it might be an advantage or a disadvantage. To me it is an incredible annoyance, especially if you hook up your PC to a TV you still need k/m to navigate. Then we have the fact that on PC you either have to download the games (AAA games usually are like 20-50GB and I have a 400 kb/s connection) or buy them on like 6 DVD's and install all that shit up manually disc by disc. Seriously, **** that.

The only worth I've found on PC gaming is ironically to play console games through emulation. CONSOLE GAMES.

Your argument is like saying a golf cart is better than a Ferrari because at the golf cart can drive at max speed all the time.

Keep digging that hole, peasant.

Well downloaded games on consoles can do that too......

And I'd say local multiplayer. There is always a ton of fun to be had with couch co-op/competition. All you need is 2-4 controllers and your'e set. I still remember to good old days of Goldeneye on 64.

Even though most new genres, mechanics, and hardware comes from PC.

Lmao.

Another day.....another insecure PC gamer. You need to change your user name. No true gamer would ever totally discredit a platform for games.
