See,there you go then! PC FTW :P But yeah,console gaming can be fun as well.

Agreed. Console gaming is worth it for the variety of exclusives alone. However PC gaming is a definite mainstay.

I like both, but given the option I would choose PC without a doubt.

Abssolutely.

But yeah,lately I´ve been playing games like Uncharted 2 and Metal gear solid 4 and I admit that I had a lot of fun(well,the cutscenes in MGS4 are a bit excessive,but they are kind of entertaining,but somewhat confusing sometimes).

You forgot the most important part: Legendary Dark Knight mode. :x

Seriously, that mode more than made the PC version worth it.

Yeah MGS4 was a little convoluted, and the cutscenes were a little much.

Still, I like it because it finished off the series quite well.

I prefer consoles, PC gamingis to complicated for me.

RAGINGxPONY

Huh... Well, I prefer PC gaming. I love how customizable PC gaming is. If I want a simple build, I can get a simple build, but I choose to customize and make my rig my own.

PC. Much more economically viable and overall satisfying, especially when you learn to take the hardware/software problems with the "double the trouble, twice the fun" attitude.

GamerX2311

PC that runs new games - what, $900? not for the best parts, but a pretty good one. Console = $300 for a 360 with 2 games? I don't get it. If you mean prices of games, it's $10 difference new, but console games have more special offers when new, and eventually they all go so far down- pc games typically disappear before they reach $10 unless they're classics.

you also need a super-fly TV for that console. the deals on STEAM completely destroy what we get for console:( Valve needs to expand their service.

PC,what else could it be?

Consoles are the poor man´s PC :P

Arach666

OR... people have different preferences? I enjoy gaming on a console more- shoot me. How does that make me any inferior to you?

It doesn´t. I was joking,couldn´t you tell?

What you said jokingly seems to be the general mentality of PC gamers on this forum, unfortunately.

Only play Valve and Blizzard games on the PC.

I'm not a fan of RTS, played too many FPS and can't stand simulators. I like Adventure though,

So the consoles definetly for me.

I specifically went out my way for a wired controller :P

I'm sat right infront of my PC, what's the point in getting a wireless controller whose battery will eventually die from repeatedly charging?

You get a wireless dongle which plugs into the USB port :P

It works well.

With the USB keyboard, mouse, scanner, desktop fan etc. I need all the USB slots I can get.

Wireless controllers have the small USB bit that receives the signal, which is more fiddly to deal with than just plugging and unplugging a controller when I need it.

Console gaming for me less hassle and it takes less time to get started playing the games that I want to play. Though I have to be honest I wou;dn't mind trying out for PC gaming in the futures. But in the end it is pretty much the games that decide it for me, so whatever systems have the best game then I will be in favor of that system.

Swing and a miss. I have a gaming PC, and I'm a consolite. Keep trying; eventually you'll come up with something better than "consoles are for poor people".

I kind of like both, although my PC gaming is limited to older games since I have a crappy computer with a 300w power supply. If I felt like putting the work into upgrading my power supply, I'd be golden.

I like flight/combat sims the most. So I'm naturally at home on the pc. But, sports and arcade racing games have always been in consoles. So it's both for me.

I have a (Logitech) joystick for flight sims, a (Logitech) driving wheel with pedals for driving sims, and even a (MS Sidewinder) gamepad for the few times I played a 3rd person game (Tomb Raider comes to mind).

PC. I like having mods, awesomer graphics, every game in 1080p with 4~8x AA, and customizable controls. I wouldn't give those up for the world.

My PC makes games crash to the point that I've stopped bothering to install games. Am saving up for a new PC in time for the release of Battlefield 3. It's pretty frustrating to be stuck with this malfunctioning heap of junk for that long though... So I currently prefer console gaming.
