What do you think has the better game library this generation? PC or consoles? I am not talking about scores just about your personal opinion. What games make you think so?

That's a tough one, and to be honest, I don't think i'd be able to decide between them.

3 vs 1? lol, love these threads, well ok, imo PC still wins 3v1. I own all and still play PC the most. Currently playing Civ 5, better than any console release this gen imo.

3v1 I'd still choose PC.

I mean I've put hundreds of hours into the consoles this gen (except the PS3 because I really did not like any of the games I've played for it so far), and I'd still say my PC has gotten around 95% of my total play time this gen :P

You're right. I wouldn't waste money, and haven't. I just mooch off friends if a game happens to peak my interest such as Super Smash Bros Brawl as I had played Melee for if not over one thousand, maybe over multiple thousands of hours with friends.

Way more time played on PC. The console games seem less in depth and less interesting.

Easily the PC. Just from the Steam Christmas and summer sales I have more games than I can play and finish.

Thanks for clarifying you have no idea what you're talking about. PC is an open platform, the fact that you can have custom hardware is encompassed under an "open platform". It's still 3 platforms versus 1, and the PC still wins.

you have a custom machine not custom hardware. You dont change the hardware you buy unless you add like a after market cooler on. We are comparing category not platforms . its not pc vs 360 vs ps3 vs wii its pc vs console .

I am a PC gamer but I chose console. I would say PC if it were 5 years ago.

I blame the money hungry publishers.

I choose consoles, when it comes to games you can't play on a PC vs games you can't play on consoles, I'd can do without the games you can only play on a PC. It's not a fair comparison though because PCs don't really have generations so the library is pretty endless.

You intellect and witty argument is impressive! I personally voted for PC, the PC has more titles and more exclusives. I think unless you have a strong preference for sports games, third part action-adventures and GoW style hack and slash the PC just offers more. Still there's enough good titles coming out on the consoles that I don't regret my X360 or my gamefly account. I'd have hated to miss games like RDR or AC2 without the DRM.

I was significantly more interested in PC from 1999-2004 than I have been from 2005-2010. And at any time before 1999, for that matter.

What do you think has the better game library this generation? PC or consoles? I am not talking about scores just about your personal opinion. What games make you think so?

swguy123

Consoles, hands done. Not only because it can play all the best PC games, but it also plays all the console exclusive stuff that will never be on the PC. There are to many games to name. You can start by listing the PS3 exclusives and that alone would be enough.

******************************************************************************

pointless thread is pointless. PC wins, any other answer is wrong.

washd123

That's your opinion, but I think console gamers would disagree.

********************************************************************************

3v1 I'd still choose PC.

I mean I've put hundreds of hours into the consoles this gen (except the PS3 because I really did not like any of the games I've played for it so far), and I'd still say my PC has gotten around 95% of my total play time this gen :P

Raymundo_Manuel

Well, that's nice. Gamers have put in over 100 yrs of hours playing Halo: Reach online alone in just one week. I think that beats your gaming time by a long shot. At least 90% of my gaming time is spent playing PS3 and XBox 360. 5% playing handhelds and the other 5% playing this online PC game http://www.tribalwars.net and Starcraft 2.

Given your previous statements, we don't have to do anything. You'll earn a Darwin award sooner or later. =P

I voted for the PC. Multiplats and exclusives! DX11 and control. 8)

You do realize that the PC has 13 AAA exclusives right? As in, not playable on any consoles. Ergo, how can it play the best PC game?

Why are you talking this year if we're talking library? You also said nothing about this year in your post :?

This year the PC had Civ 5 and Starcraft 2 as AAAE's. Your point was you can play all the best PC games on 360. That simply is not right.

Personally i'm a big PC gamer myself and i own 360 and ps3.

This generation there has been a lack of PC exclusives BUTthe exclusives that do come out on PC DESTROY consoles.

For examplestarcraft 2, crysis 1, world of warcraft, half life 2, counter strike etc

none of those games can be done on a console to the potential it has on the PC.

Do you think if they made WoW on thexbox 360it would gain 13 million suscribers?

or do you think theps3 can handle crysis at 1920x1080 resolutions with all textures set at very high?

In terms of sheer number it would have to be consoles I'd say, but unfairly considering the number of crapware for Wii in between amazing Mario and Zelda releases.

Quality wise I say they both have Half-Life, they both have Call of DUty 4. Exclusives like God of War, Halo and Super Mario are definitely against PC's, but people who enjoy RTS and MMO games still have Starcraft, Civilization and WoW.
