Why consoles are better than PC's

maybe because PC is expensive. its almost 10 times the price of a console. sure the graphics are better on PCs but not 10 times better.

10 times the price? Consoles must cost between 30- 60 dollars then.

All of your friends own consoles. 1 friend to play with >63 randoms and good graphics.

My PC case is made from Diamonds.

I designed my friend's one. His is encrusted with Rubies and Sapphires.

[QUOTE="Randoggy"][QUOTE="firefluff3"] Have fun with your voice chat on ps3 lol.

MrSelf-Destruct

Cross game chat would be nice, no doubt about that.

So tell me, what about friends playing other things make it better?

Ask yourself that question first.

For me, I like the social part of it. It's the same game (minus the graphics) whether it's on PC or 360, but if I play on 360 I get to talk to my friends.

ROFLCOPTER603

Because the same game on PC is a completely different experience.

Consolite logic at its finest, people. Do no try this at home, irreparable collateral brain damage may be likely.

I guess if my friends listened to lady gaga, that automatically makes her better than anyone else I listen to.

Didn't we already throw away the "jump off a bridge" argument?

ROFLCOPTER603

We never used it, it's you that still clinges on to it because there is no other straw to claw on.

boybrushdred

Again, consolite logic at its finest. No logic or coherence, just throw out anything that comes in mind and act like it's true.

And you wonder why PC gamers are called elitists :lol:

I agree 100% that PCs are better than consoles. Better graphics, larger lobbies, mods, more precision on shooters, etc. But the only problem is that a good gaming PC costs a lot. And you may need to keep upgrading it with memory and the such.

ok. i admit i over-exaggerated on that. maybe just 4 times the price of a console. i have a pc which i built last year cost me around $1400 (with i7-860, radeon 5850, win7home). i compared Mass effect 2 on my pc and ps3. and based on my observation, pc has sharper graphics than ps3. but its not 4 times better than ps3.

All my friends play PC, the only people i know IRL who play multiplayer on consoles are school children. ( thats actually a true story too )

You could have easily built say a 600 dollar computer and been able to get Mass Effect 2 to play with way better graphics of a Ps3.

Most of my friends don't own any systems so they come to my house to play. Does PC have local multiplayer games?

Bigboi500

Yes. I will just dwell with splitscreen for you though local muliplayer also means Lan which is 1000's of Pc games.

Games I have that me and friends play coop off my PC onto my hdtv.

• Trine
• Bionic Commando: rearmed
• blur
• Split Second
• Kane and lynch (meh game but great duel screen off 1 computer)
• NBA 2k11
• Fifa 2011
• Guilty Gear x2
• Blaze Blue 1
• Street Fighter 4
• big Bang Beat
• Patriot Dark
• Ether Vapor
• Patriot Dark
• Vanguard Princess
• Sega and Sonic Allstar Racing

I could go on but thats what I have on my computer at the moment. Nothing better then using SNES, 360, ps2, ps3 controllers to play with friends. Everyone gets to use their favorite controller.

I may as well start lying too and say 360 costs $900

[QUOTE="Cranler"]

[QUOTE="Grawse"]If only people didn't have this mindset when it comes to PC gaming. There be would less envious people on this forum on a daily basis.

With a 700-800 PC you're laughing. Especially if you live in the US, you can get parts way cheaper then most countries.

That doesnn't include all the money you save with Steam.

I remember folks saying this alot last year in SW then a Steam big sale hit and folks got really quiet... Regardless, I use all services.. Nothing better then picking up Shogun 2 a week before release for 40 dollars with rome total war thrown in by buying on D2d and activating on steam.

[QUOTE="Cranler"]

[QUOTE="MrSelf-Destruct"] Not much of Steam user, huh?

Why does it matter? Doesn't it just depend on preference? And to address the TC, the PC has a plethora of online, social gaming options available.

You have to understand that it is free to not have a girlfriend and live in the basement of your parents house. They live off of coca cola and ramen noodles. It's cheap living. Must be nice to be a pc gamer--at least you get good graphics when your system isn't crashing.

Umad that you can't afford a $700 pc? I'm sure one day Mcdonalds will promote you.

Steam alone PWNS the consoles. Nothing beats the great service and the INSANE deals that Steam have. I mean for crying out loud, for Xbox Live you have to pay $50 each year, so for 6 years you would have spent $300 just for Xbox Live service which is FREE through PC's Steam. $300? That's half the cost of descent gaming rig and that doesn't even include the price of the Xbox 360 itself. LOL. So, in essence for the price of a Xbox 360 + Xbox Live you could have brought a gaming rig that will run games at higher resolutions and settings, have MOD support, and the great deals for games through Steam and it's services.

Sound's like a PC is a win-win situation to me.
