Okay nuff ranitng about PC. There is something the PC cant do. Split-Screen multiplayer.

I dont hate PC i just dont care about it, its not an issue.

For me i dont want to upgrade to keep up with the best games.

I like having the best console available and be able to chill on a sofa and playawesome gameson a HDTV.

The PC doesnt even have any better games lol you dont have UNcharted 2, Killzone 2 or Metal Gear Solid 4, Warhawk or Forza.

I have never seen top range PC graphics and i dont care ill see it and more next gen buddy.

grizzlybear1

You'll still have last generation graphics compared to me and my PC ;)

Sorry bud your wrong. Say Xbox(original) is 1 PS3 is 2 PS4 is 3 you prolly have 2.5 at best, not next gen more like 1.5 gen with a lack of games.

PC is the better platform but to get the best experince I would say go for consoles. Purely because the PC lacks games that everyone plays. Ill give some examples... halo, gears, CODMW1/2 Forza etc. The games that "everyone" plays. Yes the pc has better graphics etc but its just not supported from major developers anymore, we dont get anythhing to rave about do we? tbh if CODMW2 had decent server support the hype for bad company 2 would be down by over half.

PC isnt loved by the gaming shops i.e. gamestation. Consoles are worse but you get the better experince from them over all i feel.

1) Blog it 2) It's called opinion. Granted people in SW present opinion as facts but get used to people not having the same mindset 3) I have a PC that's capable of running most games at medium to high but I still prefer consoles (Xbox 360 FTW!!) because I find it more relaxing. You can enjoy your choice of gaming machine and I can enjoy mine. If you feel you have to defend it, it just means your insecure about your console93soccer

I don't have a console, And aside from Gran Turismo there isn't really any game that I really miss not having by not owning a console..

PC is too expensive with a lack of AAA games. Not worth it IMO.

Id prefer to play Uncharted 1 &2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Soul Calibur 4, Killzone 2, Warhawk and Rathcet and Clank over any AA title PC game.

Face it there is less choice of great games! And yeh yehits is an opinion but doesnt mean its wrong! PS3 has better games than PC.

Have you even played a lot of these AAe titles? I mean, how can you say you prefer the console AAA games if you haven't played these AA games? Standards skew quality. For all you know, these AAes are far superior to console AAAes.

It depends on the computer you have. For the most part, emulating a PS2 is serious business (and an entirely legal venture if you own a PS2 and a copy of Persona 4). Persona 4 takes almost as much processing horse power as ETW.

Seriously, PC is just the better platform, granted it costs more but my PC does EVERYTHING X-box and PS3 can do and loads more almighty151986

Can a PC play Uncharted 2, Demon souls, Darksiders Kill Zone 2, Soul Calibur 4 etc? No. Can it play games on my 42inc HDTV without me having to drag a bunch of junk over and hook everything up? No.

Face it Consoles have the best games period. I have an updated PC and I use it for WoW because there are no PC games that interest me.

Also Consoles predate the PC and got people into gaming to begin with so show a little respect.

Well technically you have to drag your console over to your TV as well. The fact of the matter is that the PC actually has less wires to worry about all things considered equal. But it is only about one wire less.

That leads me toquestion though what's the point of going through that process if you already have the hard copy of the game and the system in the first place?

I dunno, I'll admit, I'm apathetic to PC gaming so that's probably why I'm asking so many questions. :P

The fancy graphical tweaks that Emoos have? Ray tracing for the win! I've played some classic Playstation games that look dramatically better on the PC due to the anti-aliasing and higher resolutions that emoos offer.

Honestly, people wouldnt dog the PC if pcgamers wouldnt push so hard..I know this is SW but I really think we should boycot and make GS get rid of this forum. We are all gamers. We all have one thing in common. We love to game and we live to game. PC/MAC/CONSOLE/HANDHELD, we are really AS ONE. Rather we want to think so or not.

Get rid of SW and you get rid of a LOT of arguments, and tenssion that tend to sepparate our community. Instead have a COMMON board called System LOVE were you can go and praise gaming, and the platform we play them on and support one another. I dont know about you,but it sounds better than this same ole mess here.

Except the first PC didn't hit till 1977 why because until than they were not personalized untill than they were just computers. The first complete personal computer was the Commodore PET introduced in January 1977. But that's irrelevant because as far as gaming goes it was Nintendo and than Sega that got it off the ground

Lets see, what does PC have that consoles don't? Hmm, well they have modding, Crysis and I believe everyone who has one thinks they and their PC's are better than the rest of the world.

Now, PC's DON'T have splitscreen

The DON'T have rumble

They CAN'T be played on a big screen HDTV

They have NO true exclusives

NO recent critically acclaimed games

NO major hype vessels for 2010

And honestly speaking with online now a major part of gaming systems, the only thing consoles could use are modding. I love PC gaming and have no ill will toward those who simply like it more, but PC elitism has no place when the PC is a dying game platform and everyone know it. When is the last time PC even had a GotY here?

I put it down to post purchase anxiety. Not sure if you picked the right platform? Bash the alternatives and convince yourself you made the right decision, because if the others suck you don't have to care right?

PC in particular gets allot of this because it offers a variety of pros and cons compared to consoles, performance being one of the biggest pros. Some people aren't willing to accept the higher initial cost for PC gaming, so they find as many faults as they can to drag down the appeal of the platform.

Cows in particular are the worst for this, they were hype into thinking they were getting a super computer; but in the end got just another console. PC gaming offers the sort of performance they were promised, 1080p in every game and such, so it becomes a big target for them to bash. They want what PC has but they don't want to pay for it, so the big fanboys spend their time convincing themselves that PS3 is more powerful than PC.

Lets see, what does PC have that consoles don't? Hmm, well they have modding, Crysis and I believe everyone who has one thinks they and their PC's are better than the rest of the world.

Now, PC's DON'T have splitscreen

The DON'T have rumble - some games support rumble.

They CAN'T be played on a big screen HDTV - why not?

They have NO true exclusives - yes it does

NO recent critically acclaimed games - again, yes it does

NO major hype vessels for 2010 - Napoleon TW? Starcraft 2? C&C4? Crysis 2?

And honestly speaking with online now a major part of gaming systems, the only thing consoles could use are modding. I love PC gaming and have no ill will toward those who simply like it more, but PC elitism has no place when the PC is a dying game platform and everyone know it. When is the last time PC even had a GotY here?

Yes, but that is nothing more than a casuistic argument. My console is in a box downstairs. Therefore, it is more of a pain. Really, all things equal, the PC isn't any harder to hook up.

Think back to were gaming really started and then think what machines your uber awesome console games are created on, Think about what hardware your consoles weak GPU's were designed on, Think about were the companies who created the GPU's are and were they came from...

Without PC your amazing consoles wouldn't exist so try and show a little respect :|

That last part gave me a good laugh. :D

You could say the same thing about the PC. How would the PC exist without electricity to power it? I'm sure you're thinking "HA, that's simple, all you have to do is throw a few hamsters on wheels and vuala". But I beg to differ. I mean I give credit when credit is do because those sure are some useful creatures. But do you have any kind of idea how much responsibility 3 hamsters running on a wheel brings upontheir owner? I didn't think so, I envy the electric companies that are hamster powered. First you have to make sure they're paid a satisfactory amount. ie: food. No one wants their trained hamsters running off to a competitor. Secondly you have to make sure they get a decent amount of vacation time each year. You don't want to put the responsibility of powering a facility in the 'hands' of depressed hamsters do you? And last but not least, do you have ANY idea how much these things reproduce? I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "well why don't you just buy more wheels and create more power using the extras?" YOU FAIL for that idea. How do you expect to pay all of them? You probably said "with food". Well guess what, YOU JUST FAILED AGAIN! :x The price to buy that amount of food would far exceed the profit you would gain from the electricity they create.

So please, before you say "think back to where gaming started" you should think about the other things that allowed the PC to exist. :)

[QUOTE="almighty151986"]

Seriously, PC is just the better platform, granted it costs more but my PC does EVERYTHING X-box and PS3 can do and loads more :|

The upgrade argument is complete rubbish, NO developer forces anyone to upgrade there PC, I upgrade mine because I like playing with all the eye candy turned on, That's MY choice and not something I've been forced into doing.

As I've said there's NOTHING the consoles can do that my PC can't but there's LOADS of things my PC can do that consoles can't, And on top of that my PC does the thing it can do at a better standard and quailty then the same feature on console ( PS3's FAIL web browser :roll: )

I'm a PC gamer because I choose to be, Not because I've been forced into it.

If you console gamers are happy to play your games at sub HD resolutions with no anti-aliasing or texture filtering at 30fps or less then that's YOUR choice and me wanting to play my games at 1920x1080p with 8xMSAA and 16xAF at 60+fps then that's my and every PC gamers choice :roll:

Think back to were gaming really started and then think what machines your uber awesome console games are created on, Think about what hardware your consoles weak GPU's were designed on, Think about were the companies who created the GPU's are and were they came from...

Without PC your amazing consoles wouldn't exist so try and show a little respect :|

uhh it because people like you scream about how much better PC is than consoles, when someone is threated they lash out the whole system wars war is because of insecurity no one wants to be lesser than the other so in reality everyone has brought hate upon them selfs get over it.

Well under that rationality I could say that consoles better because my PC isn't hooked up to it's monitor. Doesn't make much sense does it?

You do realize I'm using your own rationality don't you? You're using a casuistic argument in an attempt to try and create a pro for consoles. All things considered, it is most assuredly not an argument against PCs. A PC, if anything, is easier to hook up to a TV. Merely because you personally have a console hooked up to your TV doesn't mean that, at some prior point in time, you didn't have it hooked up to yuor TV. You had already engaged in that time sink with your consoles. If anything, you're using double standards here.

4 person split screen on a monitor? 2, yes, 4?

I would hope so, I mean c'mon... even the n64 could.

You mean there is a 4 person local computer game?

Kind history lesson; the Antikythera was before electricity.

You're probably waiting for me to say "that doesn't count because I meant a PC". But then you would probably say "it was a calculator and we see calculators today as a very small simple personal computer so why not call the Antikythera an ancient PC?"

Well I guess you would be right if you wanted to think of it that way.

Probably should have said [modern] PC eh?

SPYDER0416

so i guess ive never played L4D or UT3 splitscreen

that wasnt rumble i experienced just now while playing batman and mirrors edge and crysis

my pc doesnt have a hdmi port to hook up to a hdtv

i guess KOTOR3 aka ToR, diablo 3, starcraft 2, STALKER CoP, sins of a solar empire, league of legends, machinarium. all are no longer exclusive

i guess thats a lie that torchlight is critically acclaimed

and i guess theres no hype for WoW cataclysm or STALKER CoP or KOTOR or starcraft 2 or anything like that

god i must be living a lie

Even that wouldn't have saved your claim. For all you know, there was a potential steampunk universe out there which developed very complex Antikythera type devices which could compute just as complex algorithims as those that we have right now. To say that the development of the modern computer required the condition of electricity is a bit presumptuous. Yes, electricity was sufficient to establish modern PCs, but that doesn't mean it was necessary. We simply do not know.
