A challenge for console gamers!!

Funny seeing console gamers complain about upgrading a pc, yet the sentiment i'm seeing is that many of them don't want this generation to last longer than the traditional 5 years.

In that time frame, all you'd have to upgrade is your graphics card halfway through. A 250$ one should do. You know, like the 250 you'd pay for multiplayer.

Maintain functionality with all game the entire generation with absolutely no upgrade or configuration change required.

Also, just to piss the TC off:

Consoles have the functionality of having exclusives higher quality than the PC sees which are able to achieve perfect 10/10 games and GOTY awards. :P checkmate!

You have got to be one of the most ignorant, negative posters, this boards has seen. What do you gain out of continually doing the same thing over and over?

Why would I refute your list? Why would I argue against aspects of your list when some of it is the truth? Regardless, Consoles have had a more profound effect on games and the industry, overall. Period.

What about a physical retail copy? I only have a few games from Steam. I never pirated a single game in my life so **** you for the accusation.

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:

I can play games from my couch better with a console than a PC.

/thread.

What difference does it make? Like 99% of games activate through some steam-like service, physical copy or not, and will auto-update.

You didn't know that?

I don't have to search forums to figure out how to get a game to run properly on console.

I dont want to play games on the same system I do work. Business and pleasure.

physical copies also install steam or origin, they keep the games updated FYI mr Sparrow

@True_Gamer_: fun factor, and better games. and multi plats on time. still waiting for red dead? no need to petition either.

pc gaming is cool, but why do you feel so insecure about it? lol

@mikehockbourns: the BS is too strong

Gaming on my living room couch is better on a console.

.... wut. Didn't go over my head... just grasping at straws.

Tell me how many truly unique genres there are based on the innovations of controllers? tell me how well the wii did outside of its same old franchises with controller innovation some-what intergrated... Mario Galaxy 1/2 would of been just as good with an xbox controller.... or hell mouse and keyboard.

So many insecure gamers

You don't have to troubleshoot your games to get them to work.

For everyone pirating, you don't know if that file you downloaded is malicious.

PC exclusive games are not designed for viewing from a couch. Yes, you can play Call of Duty, but it sucks playing DOTA, StarCraft2, or WoW.

I've had a PC (and a Mac) hooked up to my TV on-and-off again for 10 years.

Doesn't crash as often as a female driver.

Exclusive games that i like are in consoles.

Whatever, dude. I currently have a mac mini connected to my 60" Aquos Quattron.

PC exclusive games' UIs are designed with the user sitting 18" from the screen in mind - as you are while staring at a monitor on a desk. Minimaps, icons, and other UI items are difficult to recognize at 10 feet away. Plus, using a keyboard on a TV tray (or whatever else you are using) sucks.

The only correct way - or at least, the far and away best - to use a PC for anything, including games, is to sit at a desk. You can sit there and say "Oh, I can do it" , "Oh, that's false", or whatever else helps you sleep at night in regards to gaming from your living room - but there aren't too many people who are going to honestly agree with you (honestly is not a prerequisite for SW).

PC gaming is for a desk, console gaming is for a couch. I prefer the couch.

Limiting the console to a specific design allows developers to adhere to such design knowing their entire install base has access to the same hardware.

For example, the Wiimote. Developers can develop for the Wii knowing that every Wii owner has a Wiimote. You can't do the same for PC.

Bait thread that TC posted and abandonned.
