Why don't you game on PC? (READ THE OP!)

PC games (by PC games I mean PC exclusives) dont suck but they dont interest me as I dont like RTS or overall strategy games and MMO. PC lacks most of my fav games especially within my fav genre (Hack'n'Slash). For ex, if I grab my top 5 fav games this gen, only one can I play on PC (Dark Souls). I still enjoy PC from time to time to play some PC/X360 exclusives that never came out on PS3, my platform of choice but overall I prefer the simplicity and the games from consoles that PC just doesnt offer

looks like you can game from a couch with common sense.

All online PC gaming is full of cheats /thread!

PS-No splitscreen gaming either.

A) Don't like the spec wars, and stopped a few years back.

Not necessary to the topic. Irrelevant.

B) Fell behind on hardware and didn't want to reinvest in updating my PC.

How far did you fall behind? To run new games at medium graphics you typically need a 5 year old system and the game still looks better than a console version.

C) Games felt reundant.

Define "redundant" in this context.

D) Finding 'Good' games was challenging.

Irrelevant. You can use the same methods you do to find good console games as you would PC games.

E) Consoles stepped up, served my purposes really well.

Stepped up in what way?

F) Too many updates, too many specific settings to run certain games.

Console games receive updates too. Your internet connection must be from the stone ages if this is an issue. You don't need to even touch a game's settings to run a game.

G) Don't like paying MMO fees and the better games at the times were based on that model.

Not relevant to the topic. MMO genre is optional, not the only genre there is and is not specific to the PC platform.

H) Friends are mainly Console players.

One valid reason.

I) Community was very negative at the time.

Irrelevant and untrue with no factual evidence or basis.

-Unreal-

Your comment on MMOs overrunning the platform is also unfounded and untrue.

My excuse used to be simple. All my favorite game series were on consoles. For the most part that's still true, but I've found plenty of games to enjoy on PC and in the last couple of years its become my most played platform for the first time since the early 90s.

I play games on whatever I feel like playing them on. Why do you care?

I got a Mac, and I can't play games on it.

For the record, I used to game on PC, but our computer went to hell.

Monthly hardware upgrades + the mouse/keyboard are useful for only like 2 genres.

Its uncomfortable to use the kb/m as well.

There are no big eXclusives, multiplat games are poorly optimized, indie games suck, and F2P games are only good if you pay for stuff.

1. keyboards are horrible for gamming

2. its hassle to connect my pc to my tv...they are too far apart.

3. all the hassle of trying to get games to run as best as possible will be a pain..

4. my current pc can only handle n64 games...lol i would have to spend lots of money upgrading..

5. no mario zelda or metroid..

6. no 3player family gamming..

Little to no interest in current PC games main reason I never replaced my gaming PC a few years ago, ohh and don't really care about graphics either.

My home computer or laptop are not powerful enough to run 90% of PC games.

video games are meant to be played with friends or by yourself. Because teaching controls pisses me off and even the simplest game like a wii game still have to teach themfootinyourass

Why do you post so much?

Well i do but just not current gen offerings :P i tend to favour PC gaming in the era of Simcity 4/3000,Rollercoaster tycoon 1,CnC (2.5D era) and Alpha centauri, (a criminally underrated game in my book)

Im gonna say it but i prefer the console experience more, not to mention my mates tend to favour them aswell which sways me a lot you can never beat hitting up party chat for a few fly games of fifa after work :D also it just suits me more, i grew up playing consoles pretty much and its what i know best my megadrive (as old as me and bought 2 days before i was born) still goes strong and still manages to see use :P

It's just that i dont feel the need for some of the things PC gamers crave like resolution, mods etc and consoles are a tad less finicy nowadays :P

I once prefer Console gaming, hence last gen I bought all three consoles (360, PS3, and Wii). But as when my curiousity of PC gaming grew, I realize how much of a waste I did with consoles (most notably the 360 and PS3) since all of the games were nothing but multiplats and the best versions are always on PC.

If I game on PC, girls stay away from me, but when I game on consoles, all the women now want me.

2.no hassle to get games to run? isnt the whole point of PC gamming to get the best graphics...

3.zelda and mario arent relevant but the witcher 2,starcraft,guild wars 2, and diablo 3 are? pssh whatever
