are you pc savvy but prefer consoles?

if so, why?

gaming on Pc is a more rewarding experience, but I'd be curious to know from the guys who have a capable Pc their reasons why they prefer gaming on a console.

I got a capable Pc, but console exclusive games are the key factor why I think many gamers may still prefer it over the Pc.

but I might be wrong, so what is it?

I can't afford a capable PC at the moment. That is why I do not have a gaming PC. But if I did have one I would still game on PS3 mostly because I'm used to it. I've been console gaming for a long time and I like it.

I have a gaming PC and all the consoles, though I would not say I prefer them. There are great exclusives sure and some games I prefer to play with a gamepad, but I think im still rather more a PC guy becouse of the variety that it provides and in many cases the communities that form around PC games are more civil and the players generally more mature. A stupid example but I have never been teabagged in an online game on PC.

I got high end PC but only using it for interweb cos they aren't making any games for it anymore

Game which was released 2007 is still graphic king :(

Thats why i prefer consoles

nope lol. I love my PS3 and my Wii (although PS3 more), but PC is the best :).

Sums me up pretty well. I have high end rig but prefer console gaming.

I just feel disconnected from my friends whenI play on PC. I also can't get used to KB&M, and get demolished whenI use a gamepad.

That being said there are some games on PC which I play quite a lot. The Total War series, The Football Manager series, old school Bioware titles, etc

I got high end PC Zurrur

Being PC savvy=having a gaming pc? I never knew that...I was always under the belief being savvy meant you knew something...Like the fact I've been on a computer since I was about 5 years old *im 28* that I had been gaming on pc for a while, I know how to build a pc, install and OS, debug things... that I'm experienced...

did I get it wrong or something?
P.S:I don't own a super powered PC cause I got sick of upgrading, and PCs didn't offer quite a few of the game types I wanted, as well I had been console gaming since the atari 2600...so I just gave up one area for another I was already enjoying.

Now if they were to remake Battlezone for PC's I would likely sell all my consoles and portables and get a 3000 dollar PC with 30 inch monitors, super mouse, keyboard...etc Battlezone...such fond memories...
XCS!!!!!

You play games in sub-hd and low-med settings on consoles because no game on any system has surpassed the technical graphics of Crysis?

Been console gaming since I was 2, handheld gaming since I was 10, and PC gaming since I was 15. So most of my experience is with consoles and handhelds, so in a way I guess I prefer them due to using them longer and having grown up with a lot of series on consoles and handhelds that aren't legally available on PC, like Mario Bros., many of the older Final Fantasy games, Dragon Quest, Donkey Kong, all the good stuff. I tend to play a lot of console & handheld games, but stick to just a few games on PC, although Steam has recently broken that tradition. Now I buy lots of PC games too.

Unless the console version of a game sucks, I'll probably prefer it to the PC version for now. But I know if I get the console version first, I can get the PC version a year or two later for only $5 or less on Steam. So I could end up with both versions of the game I like. I don't mind double dipping as long as the extra copies are cheap.

I have a gaming PC and all 3 consoles and i play my PS3 most of the time. I dont find gaming on the PC any fun. I own both the Crysis Collection and the Witcher and i never want to play them. Ohh well.

Funny thing is, you dont have to just play Crysis and the Witcher on PC ;). I was just playing Bad COmpany 2 on my PC with far superior graphics, controls, and amount of players (compared to consoles). I love my PC. PC IS the best, but yes consoles have some amazing exclusives I will never ignore (Zelda, Uncharted, Metroid, Mario, and more).

I may say so, yes. I had the most fun with console games.

I'm pc savvy and a pc gamer but. I play more on consoles, tho.

I used to have all the consoles but sold the Wii. Anyway I have a gaming PC but prefer not to use it too much for gaming. It's loud hot and I worry about burning it out. I use my PC for business, porn, meeting random women on the internet for "dates"- I would hate to burn my computer out gaming.Also dont like gaming with a keyboard and mouse. I even played Crysis with a 360 controller.

Funny i was just playing Bad Company 2 on my PS3. Small world lol

Just as i said, i don't have fun gaming on my PC. No idea why. I could sit at home with my PS3, 360, Wii or DS and play for hours. I play a game on my PC and get bored in like 10 mins. I guarantee you if Crysis and The Witcher were on PS3 i would have beat them.

Nope.

I actually know that deep down inside I love my N64, my SNES, and my Dreamcast among others, but my PC gets 99% of my playtime. It's hard to drag myself away from it.

Yes, and I do.

some console exclusives are just too good to be ignored.

I'm assuming most of you are trolls. Nobody has a nice gaming PC and PREFERS consoles. We've all heard the car analogies before ... so you are saying the Honda is all you need, but calling yourself a race car driver.

Also, one of the comments said "I have a gaming PC, but can't get used to the m/kb" ?!? That simply doesn't add up.

There is absolutely no reason to use a console, other than for exclusives, if you have a gaming PC. (and no Facebook games doesn't constitute PC gaming)

If the consoles weren't sub-hd, awful communities, and terrible controls I maybe could accept a few splatterings of a pc gamer preferring console ... but as is the two are mutually exclusive.

Hahah so i am a troll because i have a gaming pc but dont game on it? OK you got me... HAHAHAHA

You ever try and do a haduken with ASDW keys? There's a reason many people prefer gamepads.

:lol: Good stuff

most of the exclusives i want are on consoles . I like how devs push the consoles as far as they can go . I just like the console eco system better .

I have a gaming PC and don't like the m/kb, that's why I use a 360 controller. Steam has rekindled my love for PC gaming.

Pray_to_me

Plug in a gamepad then. Hell, I'm going all ghetto and connecting my Xbox controller to a USB cable for my gamepad (not sure why I need one at this point, but meh).

Yeah I do, mainly because all my friends have a PS3

And I do like console exclusives more than PC exclusives (for the most part).

The irony is killing me.

I have a 1300$ gaming rig but still favor my 360... I originally bought it for Crysis 2 and Rift, but I regret it so far

I have a high end gaming PC but I prefer consoles. I don't play too many games that take advantage of the full power of computer which makes me realize the whole quest for gaming rigs is pointless. The speed of technology far out paces game development. That and consoles provide comparable games.AncientDozer

Of course you could be like most people and upgrade when you aren't satisfied with your performance in games. Hmm....

I have a high end PC but still like my consoles more. Well not like more, but I do game on the consoles more. I guess I just have more friends with consoles.

Im console savvy. and don't prefer PC? lol

I did at one stage, but not anymore.

Meh, I've got a very capable PC and a PS3/360.

PS3 gets 95% of my playtime and PC gets 5%.

The only game I actually spend a lot of time playing on PC is Red Alert 3 online.

I just prefer the gamepad, my TV, a comfy chair and surround sound to playing on my PC.

Not to argue, but you can use all of those things with your PC too, as well as wireless HDMI and controller if you don't want to move the system to your living room.
