If you were given a gaming computer...

, free games, a top of the line monitor and headset, a guy who instantly upgrades your computer the time your computer isnt top of the line, a leather computer chair (or a cable hooked into your tv), and a personal computer helper, would you game on the PC? I honestly want to know.

Already have all that (Except that comfy chair, this **** hurts) And I already PC Game.

Win Win 8)

Only totally irrational fanboy gamers or people that simply don't like gaming wouldn't.

no, i wouldn't

I'd sell it since the majority of games on the pc dont appeal to me and I want to play with my FRIENDS

Probably be my system of choice until the next Xbox came out. A gaming PC also needs to be upgraded after awhile and I wouldn't want to get into that (again). That's why I quit the PC as my first system.KC_Hokie

I would play games that interest me on it. Which, actually, aren't as numerous as games on consoles.

I'd be grateful to whomever was paying. And yes, I would game on it for as long as it held my interest.

Then that computer would turn into an everyday use computer once games surpassed the level of technology it is capable of. I sure ain't gonna pay so much as a nickel to upgrade that thing.

So you're saying upgrades wouldn't cost me a thing?

Then yes, I'd continue to game on it as long as games interested me.

@ABCarmine That's the idea of the sig, yo ;)

waggle? who invented that word..trying to diss a new control method that they cant get used to.

too many reasons...to list why...maybe some day ill game on pc but i wouldnt right now

kris9031998

I game on the PC anyway. But, if the PC given to me is better than the one I got now? I'd hand my current PC over to my kid.

Now, if someone gave me an XBox 360.... Would I game on it? You betcha. Of course I'm going to game on it.

I know, right? :lol:

The problem I have with PC gaming is that after a time, I will HAVE to upgrade to keep up. And that's an extra expense I just don't want to place on myself.

DarkLink77 helped me with it. Go here.

Make a username, and just start adding images. You'll be given an address that picks one of the image URLs at random everytime someone refreshes the page. Have a blast. :P

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]Yea in a magical land of free PCs, games and upgrades I would probably make PCs my platform of choice once again. In the real world I'm sticking with consoles.

But how much would that run me the first time? To make a gaming PC that wouldn't require hardware upgrades for that long a period?

If you don't constantly upgrade a gaming PC you aren't doing it right. It's part of the hobby.

True. I also only have a PC so if you switch the question and you give me a console, would I play it? YEAH!

If you game on a 720p tv, you wouldn't have to upgrade the video card for a long time.

[QUOTE="kris9031998"] Well..it technically doesnt HAVE to be upgraded. If you buy it "correctly" you can keep it for a few years. kris9031998

:lol: x99

I can hardly spare enough money to buy a new game every now and then. Looks like PC gaming remains out of reach for me.

I honestly can't tell if you two are joking or not...

I don't get internet service? wtf? pc gaming without internet?

and the idea of having a personal computer helper sounds really creepy so no thanks. I wouldn't go near the thing.

Nope. I'd trade all that in for a console and a bunch of games.

Can't I game on both PC and console? :/

I wasn't joking. I honestly wanted to know a rough estimate.

Even $1000 is out of my league. The selection on PC isn't exactly catered to my tastes, so I'd have a hard time justifying a commitment of even half that amount at this time. No need to chew kris out ;)

Nah, I'd sell all of that PC garbage and spend the money I gained on PS3 games :o :P joking, of course I'd game on it, who in the right mind wouldn't!?

Cue the lulz: I work off a MacBook :P

And since this rusty baby suffices for the tasks I need it for (System Wars, videos, music, and word processing), I won't be changing it up any time soon.

I would play flight simulartors on it at their max settings.

There is no way to prove a direct relation between how much you spend and how much it will last. I don't know why people keep thinking this way. A PC regardless of how much you spend could last 2 years or it could last 6 years just as easily. For example people who bought the ATI X series had to change it to play the latest games just like two years it because of the DX and SM version. But years later people jumped on ATI cards because they had a superior DX version but that time it meant nothing unlike the previous time. There is no serious way to know such things.

I'd sell it since the majority of games on the pc dont appeal to me and I want to play with my FRIENDS

that sounds awfully complicated. it seems to me like PC gaming is not only expensive but also more of a pain in the @$$

I would play a few games but most of my gaming would be on a console since controllers are better.
