Proof Gaming on Xbox = Lazy

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] Its not like PCs are astronomically more complex or harder to use. People just THINK they are harder to use. Most PC things are fully automated now, and you're not going to get viruses unless you go to malicious sites or read anonymous e-mail. In that case, its the end user's fault.Jandurin

OH HE'S GONNA ARGUE IT

that's just what they do

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] PCs require little to no upkeep as long as the end user isn't going to all kinds of malicious sites. I haven't had a SINGLE problem with my nearly 2 year old PC since I built it, not a single one. I don't even have any kind of heavy duty anti-viruses or spyware blockers. These things are exercises in tedium and are not required.Cute_Red_Panda

Seriously, I thought we went over this? No way you can say PC is just as easy to build as a console. You have to be delusional to say otherwise.

Did I say that PCs are just as easy? I just said that PCs aren't astronomically harder than consoles. Besides, if you don't want to build it yourself you always have the option of having someone put it together for you. Building one is not hard.Vandalvideo

What about when my motherboard goes on my PC.

When my disc drive breaks in my 360, I know what I have to do to fix it. What about when my motherboard goes on my PC.Jandurin

I built my PC also, and it was way harder then my consoles. I think it's the main reason why people game more on console than PC.

OMG... Sh*t like this gets me mad. Go F**King play your video games! PC is not better then Xbox 360. Xbox 360 is not better then PC. Nothing is better then something else. I haven't played a game other then WoW on my PC for months.. Why? Because nothing interests me! I' m waiting for GTA on my 360. I'm waiting for stuff on PC as well. Get over it. I have built 4 Computers it isn't easy for everyone just stop your complaining. If PC was so much better in your opinion why are you here ranting when you could be playing your all so great PC.

Now if you excuse me I have to go to work and have a life. Not saying you don't I'm just saying you should go live it if you have it.

Yeah, to fix it you call up Microsoft, wait a week for the box to get there, wait another three weeks to get it back, etc. Atleast with PCs you have the OPTION of not sending it in at all, and trouble shooting the problem. Then again, like I said, I haven't had a single problem with my 2 year old PC since I built it.Vandalvideo

And you bought your system pre-built?

PCs require little to no upkeep...

im gonna stop here first. that's a lie, and ur not convincing ANYONE

I haven't had a SINGLE problem with my nearly 2 year old PC since I built it, not a single one. I don't even have any kind of heavy duty anti-viruses or spyware blockers. These things are exercises in tedium and are not required

speak for urself. there are millions who have THAT VERY PROBLEM. its mind bottleing that hermits try to convince people tht PC gaming takes close to, or on the same level of contribution as consoles.

let me break it down for u incase u haven't played a console in a while...

step one. buy the console

step two. buy the game

step three. hook it up to ur tv

step four. put the game in the drive

step five. enjoy

enlighten me if pc gaming is that simple

Then its probably user error for placing it in a highly dusted area with poor ventallation OR overclocking. I've never had a video card give out on me and I'm pretty rough with my rigs.Vandalvideo

Some may just need a instruction book for that as well. :) j/k sorta

Building a PC just has that overly technical sound to it but I get what you are saying.

Thank God...

For a minute there I was worried that a console vs. PC thread wouldn't turn into a thread about why PCs are much harder (or not much harder) to maintain than consoles. :lol:

This is one of my favorite topics to argue, as both sides offer pretty hilarious insights (or exaggerations ;))

lol...Okay Vandal. I can't believe you still hold this false argument. Compatability is an issue. I still can't play Crysis on high settings, and I build my computer 8 months ago.

You can fix your Xbox 360 if it RRODs. It is just a solder job.Only problem is it voids your warranty.. OMG! Same thing with PC Hardware components. Why do it tho? BFG has 3 Year Warranty free new Graphics card.. OMG! Same thing with Xbox 360. Oh my head hurts.. Im confused!!!

Horrible and utterly wrong. PC gaming requires little to no upkeep, and thats a fact. As long as you aren't neglecting your PC by placing it in a poorly ventalliated area with lots of dust it will be fine. Most drivers, patches, and updates are FULLY AUTOMATED, and you don't need to perform any kind of rigorous upkeep. Anti-virus software IS NOT needed as long as you refrain from malicious sites and anon e-mails. Let me break it down for you: Step 1) Purchase the PC Step 2) [Optional] Have the parts sent to your local best buy and they will assemble it for you. Step 3) Take home and plug into TV Step 4) buy game and put in Step 5) Sit through a very short installation process.Vandalvideo

As long as you're already an expert, it's almost similar, relative to how hard it is for a non-expert, in terms of difficulty.

You just don't get it...

Yep. As long as you know exactly what you're doing, when to wait, what to order, what you need for the games you want to play, what mouse and keyboard to use, which brands are better, PC gaming is only twice as difficult as console gaming.As long as you're already an expert, it's almost similar, relative to how hard it is for a non-expert, in terms of difficulty.Jandurin

[QUOTE="Merkaba"]

If it isn't played with a mouse and keyboard, I'd rather "miss out."

XturnalS

like a woman??

ImOldGreg

hahaha owned, sig worthy

How is that owned? It doesn't even make sense...

Women prefer PC gaming so I'm a woman? Ok...

PC gamers didn't start out as experts. I built my first PC without any kind of formal training or experience with just a simple manual and nothing more. I didn't know any of the information you just said someone may need to know. PC gaming isn't astronomically more difficult than consoles. You have the option of building it yourself, which isn't hard, or the option of having someone build it for you. OMG ONE MORE STEP! TEH HORROR!Vandalvideo

Oh, wait. Each time you buy a console, it always works with the games for that console? Wow, in your world, that's like negative steps.

Step five should say: Enjoy for five minutes and get bored and go back to Team Fortress 2 which you've already invested 1000+ hours in but is still limitlessly more fun than anything on xbox/any shooter played with a gamepad.

indeed, I think I just threw up alittle in my mouth...

There are so many reasons that statement is false. First of all, I like playing in front of a TV. Especially a 64 inch HDTV. Secondly, there are some games on the 360 that you can't find on the PC. luigigreen

You can easily hook up your PC to a TV. And there may be some games but certainly not alot. (Im sure Halo 3 will move to Pc).

In response to the TC, im not sure why people buy 360s, i mean a console is a console but u can use the console controller on a PC. Free online, Free Mods, Better Graphics (comparable to the PS3), and no RRoD. However i avoid PC gaming because 1. i hate Windows. and 2. I dont want to deal with viruses and malware.
