I remember when I was a console gamer, I was happy. Console gaming was more than enough for me, but that's because I didn't know what PC gaming was. Main reason: Ignorance. Also no money even if I wanted to.

If I could could have one wish, it would for all of you to experience the magic of PC gaming and leave the foul cesspool that is console gaming. That or a Ducati.

My guess is cost, and lack of knowledge with computers.

Why don't you try it for yourself (because you obviously haven't) instead of saying what other people say?

I am a computer science major, I own a quad-core rig with 4 gigs of memory and a hd 5750, I played one game on PC (borderlands) and decided to get the console version instead. I just think PC gaming sucks and is a big waste of money.

I cannot get used to KB/M after being a console gamer since NES... I have all 3 STALKER games, KOTOR, and a few other PC games.. I can't play any longer than half an hour at a time because I get so frustrated with my inability to control my character the way I want to.

My current computer is unable to play modern games. It's not even good at playing Popcap games, so there you go. Holding out on upgrading since I've been buying so many consoles and handhelds lately.

Hold up... so you own that kind rig, and you think PC gaming sucks, and you bought the console version of a multiplatform fps?

I had the pc, I didnt buy it for one game, I just bought the graphics card to play borderlands because I bought into the hype of the "PC version is always superior" from the pc gamers.

O rly?

On a more serious note, how much sense does it make paying what? 6-700$ for a PC (with all due respect to Shawnzee for not knowing) play one FPS game (which btw always has been one of the PC's strong points) and then dismiss it and pay for the same game on console and dismiss pc gaming for ever?

There are too many games on the systems I already own to afford, let alone complete. I won't waste my money on a system and games I won't be able to play.

Oh yeah, other than current PC being incapable, this plays a really huge factor too. The DS library alone could satisfy me for years, and I've got much more than just a DS.

I payed $900 originally for the computer (work computer) I had tried pc gaming many times over the years and its always the same result, I hate pc gaming KB/M sucks, I'd rather play on a larger screen, and upgrading to play a certain game sucks.

I used to be abit of a PC gamer, but in the end it became too expensive... And I actually prefer consoles anyway. Plus I'd rather sit on my bed and play PS3 then have to sit a desk for hours.

1. You can use a controller on PC

2. You can plug a PC into a larger screen

3. Why do you "need" to upgrade? Its not like you have to play every game on max settings for it to look better than a console.

I think you are confused. Those are things that make console gaming good, they don't make PC gaming bad. It's OK, it's easy to get confused in here.

KB/M sucks, I'd rather play on a larger screen, Shawnzee_102
Ok even if the M/KB sucks you can use a controller, more than any console. Then you have that second statement. " I would rather play on a larger screen." Wow man, are you sure your a computer major? I sure would hope that a computer major would know a little more about the... you know..... computer.

  1. Plug in a 360 controller if you hate KB/M.
  2. Move closer to your screen or connect your PC to your HDTV.
  3. Buying a console to play a certain game also sucks.

I've always been somewhat of a PC gamer, but I've always seen to game more on the consoles anyways.
