Now before I get lynched, I would like to say this is not a flamebaiting topic. I've been seeing some people in SW claim the PC is crap or the games suck or something like that. But I really want to get the bottom of why people are saying that. Why do THEY think the games suck, why do THEY think the PC is a crap format.

Basiclly for this topic, I kindly ask you to come up with a convincing opinion not just "hurr durr, PC sucks". Notice I bolded opinion, because thats what is it, an opinion.

I don't think PC games suck, I just don't care for how it's done. First of all I don't like how many games have to be registered through steam. Even non steam games. I hate how much the platform relies on purely digital mediums. and lastly I don't feel like buying another computer when I already have my imac. That said, I do think PCs have advantages and do not think they "Suck" just aren't my thing.

Because

1. It has the most genres. (GS)

2. It has the most competative games/genres bar none. Only fighters on consoles come CLOSE, and then fall short.

3. Best graphics. (Fact)

4. Best performance, by leaps and bounds. (Fact)

5. Most Games. Most Exclusives (4x than any single console infact) (GS). And biggest Indy scene.

6. Most features and options. (FOV/MODS/Controller Types/Hook upt to HDTV/etc.)

7. Best version of 90% of multiplats. (GS)

Digital is the future.

Anyway, I take you're not into the clients, but what's the big deal? They simply provide a hub for your games and friends.

Well, I will not be moving to the future with digital. There is plenty of past content for me to collect that I don't need to. As far as the client thing goes, my personal experience with it was that Steam bogs down my system. And I don't like having all my games tied to a service that could eventually potentially go under. I still have lots of old DOS and OS 9 games that work because they aren't tied to a 3rd party. Also my internet can be pretty crap sometimes, (personal problem.)

Console gamers value convenience over quality so they don't want to put in the extra effort. Some even complain about adjusting graphical options because they'd rather just pop in a game an play it on the equivalent of low settings in a sub HD resolution.

Honest question, how often do you actually travel with your console? I can understand the mobility argument with a handheld, but the only reason I can think to move a console is going back and forth to college.

I have a PC that can run and mostly max any game. I also have PS3 and 360. I play on PC 99% of the time. Consoles feel like a step-down for me although the console exclusives are very good which is why I have the consoles!

super600

The first computer I ever gamed on couldn't run 90% of PC games either.

There's no reason to think that in order to PC game you need to dive in head first with a supra-hardcore gaming PC.

It's a hobby. You go into it having the tiniest shred of interest, and you see if that develops into something more.

would love to game on pc, however if i do i want to do it the best way possible and cant afford 800-1000 dollars to drop on a rig.

finally all my friends play on consoles. i literally have no friends that play anything on pc, i enjoy having people over and gaming on the couch and while yes you can hook the pc up to your tv its just a hassle. rather just pop in a disk and play from there and take the slight hit in graphics.

Ease of use. Ease of purchase. Initial cost. Coefficient of imitation. Preference for certain games.

Those are the usual suspects when you boil it down. Hardly surprising. The first two are my primary reasons.

Primarily because I was partial to console exclusives. However I'll be buying a new 27 inch iMac soon, and since that can run everything on the highest settings, I'll likely get into PC gaming.

The new one? That's impossible.

3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX

It should be able to run anything at any quality pretty well.

probably because pc gaming is more of a hassle than console gaming or because most of their friends play on a certain console. those are the only reasons i can think of.

i used to be a pc/console gamer..but my pc died...and i never could be bothered to invest in another rig...so i stuck with console gaming... and ive had just as much fun as when i had a pc. I prefer the franchises on consoles anyways and playing on my console, laying in bed.
