I'm obviously not a PC gamer, but the "you can't play [insert game] on PC" argument is garbage as there are plenty of PC games that you can't play on consoles.

[QUOTE="treedoor"]

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"]

Nobody has showed me a game comparable to SMG2 on the PC platform. I'm still waiting.

Rikusaki

But you never showed anyone a game compareable to Empire: Total War on consoles....

It should at least be a fair trade imo.

You do realize that AAAA=a single person's opinion, right? AAAAs don't really mean crap in real life and if you hope to make a good argument, it's better to stay in the realm of "real life" rather than the backwards realm of "SW".

PC Gaming is superior because I say so, and Console Gaming is superior because you say so. It's called opinion and needs. Both types of gaming fit different people's opinions and needs.

Edit for grammar.

Fail thread is fail. This seems more like a trolling attempt then a geniune topic.

I am sorry. :(

I'll try better next time.

I just need to level up a bit.

When I'm stronger, I will defeat you all.

PC wins... for now.. :evil:

Omg you guys... I know what a laptop is.. -_-

I'm typing this message on my Sony Vaio (with the cursed 8400M). You guys are just being mean now. :(

Rikusaki

True, but my laptop only lasts for few weeks.. ALL 8400M GPUs are inherently defective. I had the damn mainboard replaced three times already. Nvidia COMPLETELY ignored the issue and I hate them for that.

Never buying an Nvidia product again.

The United States seriously needs a law protecting people from products with inherent defects..

8600M GT(G84M) also has NVIDIA's "bump gate" issue. My old ASUS G1S(Intel SantaRosa based) laptop lasted about 19 months before it suffered the "black screen of death".

My repalcement ASUS G1SN's Geforce 9500M GS is another rename G84M.

All the games on the PC that you can't play on consoles beg to differ.

Yangire

I laughed so much , still i am when i saw t vote results that i think i shouldnt say anything.

As for your accusations... 300 for console now 500 3 years ago 600-700 in some regions 5 years ago.

Any PC can be plugged easily in HDTV and play with friends and guess what. You can fullytake advantageof 1080p ( means your HDTV with a decent PC )

You can play with more than 4 friends on EMU games with the same X360 pads ( wireless or not ) !!

Assuming a console is at 300$ range , games are at 50 to 69 where PC gameees are 19 to 39 ( not to say great STEAM DEALS ) In the long run ( 5 years cycle ) a PC hardware of 1000$ will be cheaper than a 300$$ console , simply because youll save so much from games.

Find a game like World of warcraft you cant

Find a game like Starcraft 2 you cant

Find a game like Diablo 3

you cant Find a game like ... OH WAIT...

Comparing all 3consoles AAAgamesvs PC. hahahahahaha.Im out here , nice entertaining thread once more. Had great time heree really but .. i feel i have to go , learn about PC gaming then make threads. Period

Also you can build a micro atx pc and put it in a smaller case which is still cooled well and they even have handles on the cases for easy carrying.

bigblunt537

Still need a monitor for that thign and don't say you need a tv for a ps3 because almsot everyone owns a TV. Not everyone owns a second monitor for you to just ring your pc voer and plug it in. I'm a console and PC gamer, but at times console gamign is a lot more practical imo.

You can plug a PC into a TV too...

Well you actually could but that would require you to get out of the couch and walk all the way over to the TV-set. Sounds like a big hassle to me.

Last year I hired this slave guy to start up my console. He also receives a huge tip for inserting the disc or buying me popcorn.

Primarily PC with a little bit of console gaming. To be honest, this whole consoles vs. PC thing is ridiculous, The TC is a bored loser with nothing better to do, Some arguments I have seen are pretty stupid such as the "to lazy to plug in your PC to your TV somehow equates to +1 for consoles"

And a more mainstream game collection is also +1 for consoles, what?

Also, for whoever said PC gaming is more expensive, right now, on Steam I can buy the entire THQ pack, which includes 20 games including Metro 2033, Red Faction Guerilla, Saint's Row 2 for £20, Metro 2033 is alone that much for the Xbox on Amazon.

I guess I'm a hypocrite, but I'm tired of these BS same excuses console players are giving as to why their platform is so much better, when a lot of the time it is false. PC and consoles are both great to be honest.

I think he was refering to console gamers being lazy since all they care about is sitting in front of a TV playing games.

Off the top of my head, Mount and Blade, Pre Bad Company Battlefield games (four of them), Lugaru, Penumbra, StarCraft, Supreme Commander, Total War, Team Fortress, Team Fortress 2 with mod support (which makes a huge difference, imo), Counter Strike, hundreds of indie games, Knights of the Old Republic, Freedom Force, and ArmA.

I personally can't choose whether gaming on a PC or a console is entirely superior than the other, but you brought up some valid points Riku :). There's pros and cons for both honestly.

On the flip-side, someone could put up a good argument as to why PC gaming is superior: lower prices for games, mods / freeware, Steam owns, and better graphics (if you've invested enough).

I primarily game on consoles now, but I can't wait to start building a new PC to get back into PC gaming :D.

PC's cannot do splitscreen and tbh most PC games look worse then console games because you tend to sit close to monitor.Banjo_Kongfooie

What? Maybe you should try playing in higher resolution?

When you pay $300 for a console, you can play the latest games for many years to come.

When you pay $300 for PC, you will find yourself upgrading your hardware to keep up with the most demanding games. The graphics may not look as good when compared to the PC version of the same game (assuming you have the latest hardware), but the fact that the games of the near-future (Rage, Killzone 3) will run at 100% on your system without the need of any upgrades is a great feeling. Rikusaki

News flash: You do not have to upgrade to play the latest games on PC.

I will repeat that message:

You do not have to upgrade to play the latest games on PC.

Now, if you want to play the latest games with the most cutting edge graphics? That's a different story altogether. But your 8800GTX will suffice just as long as a console's lifespan. It's a great thing we can afford to upgrade twice within a generation. Hell, it's great that we have the option to upgrade to get better performance.

Portability - Bring your console with you. Instant gaming at your friend's place.Rikusaki

You say console can do it. Cool. Well, we do it. Every year. Since 1993.

Accessibility - Anyone can do it. Get together with friends.Rikusaki

How to play on the PC

1) Press power button.

2) Click game icon

The games. The variety. Consoles have them, PCs don't.

Find a game like Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the PC. You can't

Find a game like Uncharted 2 on the PC. You can't.

Find a game like Little Big Planet 2 on the PC. You can't.

What you can find on the PC are games that can only take advantage of the mouse/keyboard configuration (for the most part).

Consoles get a lot more attention from the mainstream because consoles offer games for everyone.

Rikusaki

Find a game like The Sims on a console. You can't. (Not even the Sims 2 nor the upcoming Sims 3 on console will be like the original PC game).

Find a game like SimCity on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Eve Online on a console. You can't.

Find a game like The Experiment on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Canabalt on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Flight Simulator X on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Mount & Blade on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Total War on a console. You can't.

Find a game like King's Bounty: The Legend on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Europa Universalis on a console. You can't.

Find a game like Feist on a console. You can't.

Moral of the story: Do not bring in the argument of variety against PCs, because you will lose. Mainstream appeal and variety do not go together.
