What do you think of PCs?

I play a few old strategy games on the PC, and I mess around with the Sims and Sim city from time to time. I would never play a game thats not a strategy game on PC, however. I'm not very tech savvy, I don't want to spend the money to build a PC nor do I have the know how. I prefer playing with console hooked up to TV. Its much more comfortable and versatile.

I absolutely LOVE my pc. Matter of fact we have 3 in our home I have built some time back. I do everything on it. Use it hours a day. I dont think its the best device for gaming but it has its goods and bads. Every time I think I have done all there is to do...I find something else to do on it. Without my pc im totally useless...

But for my games "other than medal of honor franchise" console is the choice for me.

I think of all PC games as skinned Powerpoint presentations

I have no idea why someone would waste their time playing on a PC but at the same time I don't mind that people DO waste their time playing on a PC

If they like it so be it, it's just not for me

PC gameing is a waste of time IMO.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

hmmmm, fanboys.

For gaming(besides crysis, and the ever so addicting Q3 Arena) it offers nothing but boring simulators, rpg's, rts's, and multiplats that always come out late and need patched.

For everything else the PC is GOD!!!!!!!!!

P.S. My laptop can run Crysis smooth as butter on medium settings at 1024x768 which still looks better than anything on console. It's also portable and with that said my laptop>>>>>>>>>>PC

i have never had a problem with pop ups, viruses or freeze ups, and i have no virus software or spyware on my computer because it's never needed.

Pop ups are from internets and are usually blocked by the web browser's popup blockers. In the course of using firefox, I almost never see a pop-up.

Viruses are recieved usually from shady websites or bad downloads (torrented files, porn, downloads from bad websites). I almost never recieve them because I'm smart on the internet. Just stay away from torrents and porn and you should be fine. As always, there are multiple anti-virus software that you can download or purchase.

Freeze ups? I almost never encounter freezes and if I do, a simple restart is all that I need.

I find macs to be a bit overpriced and am completely satisfied with my PC.

[QUOTE="swazidoughman"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"] Thats great It still doesn't change my opinion tho.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

Pcs are obviously better than consoles. PC gaming IMO is too much of a problem. But, that's just me.

Couth_

So you'd rather play on an inferior piece of hardware despite the fact that your PC has better hardware than your console's?

For example, if you played Dead Space, you'd rather play on your inferior console despite the fact that you can simply plug your Xbox 360 controller into your PC and have better graphics and performance, and the game would control identically to the inferior console? Amazing.

As for the TC, PC's are the best. More options with how you want to play your game, etc.

Also, playing games on a PC is pretty straightforward. Especially if you have Vista and Auto Update turned on. In this day and age, you'd have to be the lowest simpleton to think that gaming on a PC is "too much of a problem".

drinkerofjuice

That may or may not be true. I suppose it depends on the person. For me, I'd much rather play a video game than watch TV.

[QUOTE="nmaharg"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"] So because Im answering the TC question on MY view of PC gameing Im a fanboy...:roll: Ok Buddy.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

[QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"][QUOTE="nmaharg"] You may not be a fanboy, but that was a very fanboish comment Seeing how the majority of the last 5 games you played are on P, how is the 360 any less a waste of time.. nmaharg

[QUOTE="nmaharg"][QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"] Because all my friends game on consoles and I dont need to waste time going out and buying parts for a PC when I can spend less money on a 360 and get almost the same experience. I have no need for PC gameing at all and I dont see whats the point of telling me that the games I play are on PC :?Gh0st_Of_0nyx

Everyone is entitled to enjoy gaming how ever they choose.

I think console gaming is a waste because a PC can game, and do so much more. For example, I was just playing Dead Space. I can pause it, hit alt-tab, and surf the web. And then simply go back to the game at the blink of an eye.

Also, a good gaming PC can also do so many more things than just game.

But to each is his own, I suppose.

:lol:..At PC gaming what kind of Degenerate plays games on PC, when you have a Consoles.foreverflame890

The kind who likes better graphics, better controls and more exclusives.

PC gaming is an entirely different animal to console gaming... and so many consolites say that PC gaming is "dying" or that it "doesn't compare" then all I do is ask: "Then why are consoles giving up the only thing that made them consoles, that is, plug-n-play capability, for PC gaming elements like downloadable updates, patches and extra content as well as hard drive installations and internet-based multiplayer?" I personally as a console and PC gamer liked when the two remained separate, I had two distinct kinds of platforms to play games on... now aside from my growing collection of older, "true" consoles, just have one; PC gaming, one the real thing and the other gimped.foxhound_fox

I hate pc gaming. It's expensive, not user friendly and I hate the controls.:P

Although i do game on PC, its generally only RTS and the odd RPG game.

I just prefer console gaming. I like playing games. Installing and configuring them is not something that I like to waste time on.

Its certainly the best platorm in terms of content, but the industry's lack of respect for the end-user (and vice-versa) can turn what should be a relatively simple process (insert disk/download, install, update, play game) into a veritable cluster****. PBSnipes

Don't care

Less games

Awful control styles (I'm sorry but W-A-S-D seems like a typing course, not controls for my FPS)

Plus the money aspect is moot. If you're playing games and have to worry about money then you picked the wrong hobby. "oh I can make a PC that's only 400 dollars and upgrade the video card in blah blah blah"

No thank you. People can tinker with the new strategy game for Microsoft Works. I don't care if they do, it's just not for me.

You just took ignorance to a whole new level.
