Console gaming online is more FUN than PC games online.

Now hear me out, i don't want to sound like a fanboy here, it's just my reasons for this statemeant is because with console gaming online you never really have to worry about anything, just pop in the game and your good to go! With PC games online you gotta worry about graphical settings, because you may get less FPS than someone else and he has an advantage, also there alot of PC users don't use headsets which IMO is a MUST for online gaming. I just think it's more fun to pop in a game and just play! Not install, mess with setting, hope others have a mic etc. Basically with console gaming everyone is on level ground.

EDIT: Im NOT saying console games > PC games.

Or consoles > PC.

Just simply the online experience.

Kool..I find it funny you say all that yet setting up PSN and XBL aren't very nice ventures.

Opinions are opinions.

I used a headset 1 time in my life and it was at a cs lan party. keyboard>headset when english is not your primary language. The rest of your argumentation is stupid and fanboyism and I am sure someone else will throw a brick at it sooner or later, because I am too lazy to do it tonight.

I have had more fun gaming online on my PC than XBox 360..... On which I have been gaming online on since the 90s.

And the best thing is I dont have kids rapping, screaming, or making racist comments in my right ear.

Eh? I normally just go and play. Unless you mean RTS where stats and stuff are tracked. Then I guess so. But even that is simpified to entering email, desired name and PW.

Because a good/fun admin can make a game much more enjoyable by doing crazy things like zero gravity and stuff.

Starcraft: Brood War does not approve of this thread. if any console games are still going strong online after 10 years let me know tho.Ewok432

Snicker snicker.

But seriously, that may be your opinion, but many people's, including mine, disagree with yours.

Apparently pressing the power button and pressing the game shortcut is complicated for you. Even worst, you can even set the settings like you wish or let the game chose your settings... yeah that's horrible!Bebi_vegeta

Its a good thing none of the consoles have any games at all that require or even have the option to install to their hard drive.

Install is done once... is that painfull for you? I mean some PS3 game use the install feature too.

Tweaking the video card? Yes, when you install the first time, it detects your hardware and set it for you. Pc gives you freedom to do what you want with a game, how is that bad?

Maybe he's dying, and only has days to live. He can't waste his time installing video games, he has to play them NAO.

Once a console becomes very cheap and comes with free online in Korea, than Starcraft will approve.

I apologize, I should've made it more clear that my second paragraph was designated towards the TC.

skrat_01

that's not "more fun" that's more convient. PC has less lags, dedicated servers (run much better than any P2P consoles have) and you have much higher chances of playing with simply more fun(ie..no swearing, helpful, willing to play in team etc) people than on consoles thanks to much more organized communities, clan servers and heavy admin jobs. Not to mention mods that can personalize your experience the way you want itAdrianWerner

and once it is installed on pc I can level up 3 times before the 360 version has launched. installs are a plus since there is no disk needed everytime and loading is way faster

dedicated>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>p2p

no lag is much better than people having headsets the yell in your ear.

and many gamespy games use the same account, so all you have to do is login

the fact is you don't have to worry about them anymore, its all auto detected at the best settings for your hardware, vista can even update you graphic drives through windows updates

lol console gamers would know what to do if every game said "install to reduce loading times" or "play now with slower loadings"

Duh, Splitscreen + Online is way better than either by itself.KingCotton462

nope lan + online > splitscreen online

I personally think playing online, in general, is overrated.

Nothing like playing good ol' local multiplayer with friends and family.

agreed

Good. Now go back and delete some of your posts before you get TOS'd for spamming:)(Speaking from experience)

Not true.

Nothing's more fun to play some mini game on Garry's Mod with guys screaming out internet memes, and playing sonic fanfic porn.

Seriously, every second is filled with epic lawlz.

If you want a serious side, Battlefield 2 blows everything away.

And how many console games support 150 players online. There are pc games that support 100-150 players online since 1998 if not earlier. Games like Joint operations support up to 150 players

Another PC vs. Console thread.

Everytime I come on here thats all I see.

When will it end.

So you aren't bothered by the lack of dedicated servers et cetera?

And at least I don't need to worry about graphical settings. I play CoD4 multiplayer on max at 100 fps.

1) I dont have to worry about anything graphically related, seeing as you know, I research the right parts and run everything maxxed on a good budget.

2) HEadsets? everyone? please the damn kids annoy me so much, I prefer only chatting to specific people or clans, or even in a 3rd party mic setting.

3) Matchmaking isnt as good as lobby-dedicated servers, sorry, it isnt, I can save mine to favourites, meet the regulars, go on clan servers, go on servers with only my favourite maps isntead of random.

Console online cant even compete with PC online for 5-10 years ago, and boasts about the ILLUSION of "Fair Fights".
