Consolites are running out of reasons to bash PC Gaming. Debunk!

I'm changing the thread. :P

Consolites bashing PC for reasons such as can't use a controller, constant upgrading, and etc. Behold I debunk all their bull!

For starters you don't need to spend thousands on a PC and upgrade every 2 years or 2-3 years. Anyone with at least a 8600GT and Dual Core processor can play games on their PC at settings better then console with multiplats being maxed at 720p or higher and running PC tech pushers at settings better than the consoles.

Here is a little video demonstrating what the AMD Apu can do at 1080p

If you think about it you can get higher settings if you sacrifice the resolution a little.

I'm sure some one can find a rig better then this for a little cheaper.

Think building a PC is too hard? Go buy a prebuilt then.

You have many companies to choose from to provide a PC you want from AlienWare, Origin, ibuypower, CyberpowerPC, and others to put together a gaming PC for your budget.

Don't want to use a mouse and keyboard? Use a controller then. You have a wide selection of controllers to use on PC and I use some of these.

You can play on the couch. Don't want a Giant PC in your living room or don't want to drag your PC out everytime.

Get a mini ITX PC it will be small enough to keep in your living room if you don't know what Mini ITX is here is some example of it.

The PC is at the bottom.

Here are other mini itx PC cases system builders can get

What about keyboard and mouse? Just get a wireless keyboard and mouse for you to use from your couch. You don't need to spend money on fancy KB+M cheap ones can do the job fine.

Upgrading drivers a Hassle?! Updating drivers can be done in a matter of minutes.

Download the Driver BAM your done! Steam can do this automatically for AMD users.

As for the tweaking graphics argument that can be done in minutes too.

Most games these days can auto detect settings for you, and you have the option to use presets such as low, medium, high, ultra, and etc.

Patching Games? Really now Console games have patches now too. Patches can be done automatically by Steam, Origin, and others. Steam can do it before you even start the game so that way you don't have to wait to play the game while the patch is starting.

Installing games a hassle? I hope you don't play on PS3 or buy games from (some games are recommended that you install on Xbox 360) XBLA, WiiWare/virtual store. The majority of big releases have retail version so if you don't want to wait for the digital download go out and buy it retail. You can activate your CD key on Steam or Origin for some games and you can add games that weren't bought off Steam or use Steamworks and them to Steam so that way you still get the Steam Overlay so your friends on still will know what your playing and you can still use the ingame chat.

Can't Rent PC Games? Think again!

Why is "I prefer consoles" or "I don't want to" an excuse?

evangelism is the turning point.

They're are understandable reasons.

But crap like what Shielder7 said are just plain ignorant.

What do you gain by trying to get more people to game on PC? CajunShooter

I think you should take a break from posting for a while. Just breathe and relax for a bit. Don't let whatever is getting to you get under your skin.

Not everything needs to have a reason or be a conspiracy for someone to like something. Some people don't game on PC because they don't. Some people don't game on consoles because they don't. Everything should end there.

I know people come up with baseless "facts" and reasons against PC, but don't take it to heart. Let them lie to themselves since that's the only way they'll feel better. If they can't handle reality, then that is their insecurities to deal with.

Just don't try to shove everything PC onto people. That can be a factor to people avoiding it completely.

They're called "Bronies". Saw a report about them on NBC. It's recommended that you hide your kids, your wife and your husband too.

It's real out there, yo....

rentals is my excuse for why i still game on consoles, paying gamefly $300 to play 40 to 50 full brand new releases a year is just flat out a sweet deal and something pc cannot match.

Bu bu bu but what about mah couch!?

Plus only nerds play on PC. I certainly am not a nerd despite me frequenting a video game forum

Gamefly lets you rent PC games now

Ok, cool, consoles are just simply put pre-made and loaded to play games straight away, no hassling, updating hardware etc. All games are designed to run well on the system. A game released last month should run just as smootly on a 360 as a game released 5 years ago. With a PC you have to constanty be paying attention to specs, on both your rig and the requirements on the game itself.

Honestly, PC's have their merit and can be great, but I also feel like the benefits are overplayed. If someone is loving their experience on a console what are they going to gain by switching to a PC and spending money in the process? If they love console gaming then it's not as if they need 100 RTS's or hyper-realistic shooters to keep them happy, meaning the main difference in most cases would probably just be a slight upgrade in graphics.

Again, I'm not trying to diss PC's they're great, and if you really have the time of inclination you can do some wonderful things with them, but consoles are pretty damn awesome too.

How I still don't understand what the monumental upgrade is to someone who already enjoys console game?

Well, like I said in the other thread, reason I don't is because between my full time job and my evening freelance, I'm on the computer about 10-13 hours a day. I'd like a break from the computer. Also, most of the games I want to play are on consoles.TomatoDragonPSN

good reason,

at least it isn't the typical hurr durr can't game on the game couch, i prefer controllers derp

Gaaaahh dude enough already with the PC Threads!!!

If you're bored, PLAY on your PC, don't come on SW and make a sh!t ton of threads.

I have that same SNES USB controller!

On topic though, do people really not understand comfort zone?

Are you a freakin' PC salesman or something? Why do you make ten threads per day on System Wars instead of playing your precious gaming PC?

Also, do you play console games too tc?

noodlefighter you're doing a great job at making PC gamers look very insecure by posting these kind so threads every few hours... Seriously..stop thatlawlessx

someone should restrain my hands from the keyboard :P

Opinions aren't excuses. Gamers just have opinions. If a gamer likes his console then so be it.
