Is it a fact that PC is the best Platform?

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="haberman13"]

Point is when talking console, since we also include monitor cost in PC, we should include average TV cost in a console purchase.

That is what I have been arguing - they aren't the same.

Avg PC: 250

Avg Console: 800

wait what? how is the average console 800 bucks?

Well, I'm getting a job just so I can upgrade this old piece of crap for gaming. I'd have to say yes.

If you have the money yes. Why

Graphics, true 1080p, 60 fps

Mods

Cheaper games

Dedicated servers in 99.9 percent of online games

Mouse and keyboard

More games,

RTS

[QUOTE="locopatho"] No, we don't include any display cost since they are THE SAME.markinthedark

Playing shogun 2 on a console would cause it to explode it just can't handle it

[QUOTE="Doom_HellKnight"][QUOTE="crimsonman1245"]

1.Price-Not even close.

2.Hackers/cheaters/pirates

3.Confusing for people who havent learned about computers.

4.Constant upgrading.

Consoles are just so much easier for most fans, 300 dollars gives me a PS3, Blu Ray, Controller, and i hook it up into my big screen HD TV with surround sound.

I dont have to upgrade anything, i dont have to buy a controller, a vga cable, blu ray, etc etc.

And i prefer games like Infamous and Uncharted over Shogun, WoW, and Civilization.

Graphically and MOD wise it is a FACT that it is the best.

1. Best hardware

2. Best overall library

3. Mods

4. Best Controls

Anyone agree?

Snyper-007

Not really BEST hardware so much as upgradable

Not BEST library just more games

YES MODS but who really cares?

BEST controls? Thats very debatable..For me..NO...Consoles have the best controls..I dont like having to use a keyboard and getting game pads working can be a pain..I want to put game in..play game...NOT screw around with settings and configuring things all day..PC bad...Console good..:D

Unquestionably.

The only question is... do you have the money + patience?

Yeah...since I got the 360 controller for windows i don´t have to configure a single thing,that´s a thing of the past. It´s just plug and play,exactly like a console.

Who cares about mods? Apparently many people do,and the only reason that console gamers like you say they don´t care is simply because consoles don´t have them.

In my opinion,yes it is.Arach666

And I will join you in that opinion.

If it were not for exclusives, I would not own a PS3 or Wii.

It is impossible for anything to be "factually the best" because the term "best" is derived off the term "good", which is an inherently subjective (read: opinionated) quality.

You can certainly find far more debating points to argue that the PC is a superior gaming platform to everything else, but when you are talking about entertainment (like gaming) people's preferences aren't a "rational" part of their personality which you can somehow change by using the right trigger words. If they don't like something then they don't like it and your mouth and brain can't do anything about that.

I suppose if you were to remove all personal preferance from the equation and just look at the facts then I guess PC would be the best.

That is what all you say..I say different. Hook it up and play something from 2000 OR even from 05 and come back to report..Ive NEVER seen a controller plugNplay for old games..EVER..There are programs you can dl and use but they suck..SO I guess PC doesnt do EVERYTHING better..NOW plug said controller up to the console its made for and WALLA!!! 100% every time. PCs should try to use our console tools because it simply has trouble..sorry bud..OH and as for MODS..sure some can be cool others are a waste of time and MOST will have glitches to the point of not working right..I know..Ive seen some in action.

Objectively yes and there's no way to argue it. Most powerful, constantly updating, cheaper games, ability to use whatever controls you want, and a much bigger game library.

Now which one someone personally likes better based on convenience and what games they like can come down to opinion. Regardless it's objectively the best.

I think it is the best. Too bad I don't have one yet. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't keep on buying all these great deals on steam that I can't even play yet...yentlequible

In an objective point of view yes the PC is the best. However subjectively other platforms can be chosen over it due to reasons such as ease of use having more weight than availability of mods.
