Why PC gaming will always own cosoles

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Nope..just adults. You know that's the diffrence between most pcgamers and console gamers. PCgamers are mostly adults who have a good job and can afford their hobby, most console gamers (especialy at SW) are teenagers who live with their parents and have to ask them for money to buy anything.FrozenLiquid

ooohhh Don't stoop down to their level mate, not good.

The Sims is played by a lot of people, including women of all ages who feel left out by male-oriented games. You get the "Fantastic 4 Activity Center" for tots who don't want toplay The Darkness.

The same goes for consoles. Adrian, you're kidding me if you haven't seen 30 year old Nintendo fans. These kids grew up with Nintendo. And you see 40 year old fathers walking out with Xbox 360s looking smug and there children aren't even with them.

I think PC gaming has its advantages, as well as console gaming.

Quite frankly, I'm getting pissed off that no nvidia driver can stop LOTR:O from crashing. That's a huge minus for PC gaming.

Agreed, one of my best freinds whole family is into computer games his 12 year old sister loves the sims his 18 year old sister plays WoW. PC has plenty of casuals I earn enough money to get whatever gaming rig I want but I go with a PS3 and 360 why? Because combined they simply have more games I want to play then the play then the pc .

[QUOTE="primetime2121"]

lol..who plays economic games or mech sims ?? 40 year old bald loners who still live with their parents

br0kenrabbit

Who plays a fake guitar instead of learning how to play a real one?

Well, who plays the most realistic flight sims instead of learning how to fly one?

Being a bit hypocritical here if you ask me.

And the whole "Hermit's a loners" thing is kicking in here. If you knew anything about Guitar Hero, a lot of guitar players actually play that game and think it's a helluva lot of fun.

From looking at World of Warcraft and Everquest 2 (Hell, EQ2 had a busty chick on its boxart!), I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that only consoles have scantily clad women. Yes, metal bikinis will save you from the sharp blade of sword.....

I love how VandalVideo is always quick to spout "well, thats just your opinion!", as if somehow he is beyond the general laws of subjectivity and is the supreme commander of what is factual.

Heres some console propaganda, because we obviously need some sort of counter-intelligence.

PC's can use gamepads !! And you can fry an egg on your PSU, that doesn't make it a good idea. PC games are designed around a KB/M almost exclusively. Any alternative control scheme is going to be compromised. And forget about it online.

PC's run on TV's !! Yet they aren't designed to. Interfaces are (quite obviously) designed with the player sitting at a very close distance. Some games work this way, many don't. Not to mention trying to get your KB/M combination to work on your couch, as most peoples best televisions are in their living rooms.

PC's are easy to use !! No, they aren't. They are easy to use until you've got a compatability problem, then its off to the forums to replace .dll files and the next thing you know your computer is filled with Korean puppy porn. Believe me, I've been there.

PC's do every genre as well as, or better than, consoles !! This is quite obviously a farce, as the PC's most popular genres are FPS games and more importantly, RTS games. Action Adventure games, platformers, and what not are best done on consoles. This is simply a compromise on either end.

PC's are "plug in and play" !! I still remember the horror days of trying to get my copy of FFVII to work on my PC. PC's are inconsistant and more often than you'd like, the setup, installation and patch times very are prohibitive.

PC's have the most AA/AAA's every year !! This is true. The degree to which this entices you is the degree to which you enjoy PC's best franchises, which tend to be RTS games (though, of course, there are MANY others, this is simply my observation).

PC's are cheap !! PC's are cheaper than what some would have you believe, but they are by no standards inexpensive. Getting an above average PC now will give you 2 years of decent gaming performance, before you start hitting the lower resolutions. Its a pricy hobby though, albiet, there are many fringe benefits to PC gaming which can subsidise the cost.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"]PC gaming also has the advantage of being attached to a proliferate modern electronic item that isn't likely to be removed from our society any time soon.Polaris_choice

Haha true that.

Wow hermits really have gone mad. Fact is about every pc you owned had died and been removed from society as it has become worthless as technology goes on. Most Consoles have much longer life spans then any one pc. I really dont see the point of this thread . When peopel bash pc its simply because they dont like the games that come to pc. Its obvious the pc industry paves the way to new technolgies in every console but that doesnt change the fact that some people like console gaming better.

I didn't say it did. I just said that PC gaming has an advantage of being attached to a common item.

Yes, metal bikinis will save you from the sharp blade of sword.....

FrozenLiquid

It's because their enchanted! :P

This thread from the TC and his post is why I more and more hate hermits. So many have this attitude of being superior as if PC invented God and this and that.

It's similar to the whole feeling I have and get about how punk fans act and think how everyone sells out and only they are true punk fans and this and that garbage.

People like what they like. Nothing owns anything in the real world. In fanboy world sure PC is god or 360 owns or the PS3 is king or Wii is the man. But back in the world of sanity and logic it's all based on opinion and IMO console gaming is the best but I don't foolishly make a thread saying so for whatever weird reason the TC did. Maybe he feels inferior and worried or jealous about console gaming.

Well all gaming is great and doing and will only do better.

I guess the an Atari 2600 is better than a PS2...because it came first. -.-' System wars...only in system wars.

I personally like console gaming over PC gaming. I like the controllers, I like the plug and play nature, I love the games that I can't find on PC (excluding emulation, of course).

Although I am becoming a more avid PC gamer, console gaming will always be the best to me.

EDIT: Maybe I should mention that I hate how arrogant Hermits can be.

[QUOTE="-LegendaryLuck-"]Viva la PC! I can understand why PC Fanboys...lemmings, if I understand this animal talk right. I can understand why Lemmings prefer PC gaming over all console gaming, the best backwards compatability, mods, best online, best library of games, region free, etc. etc. But you Lemmings should admit, consoles have their ups to. To many people, building/upgrading a PC can be intimidating, and having the items ready in the box with simple plug-in-and-play method of set up can be attracting also.Pro_wrestler

You mean cows.

The whole mod thing is the most refutable thing about PC games. Its bad enough that you have to keep your drivers up to date for any GPU if you want the best performance but modding your game can cause all kinds of unwanted glitches. Does not have best library of games, does not have the best online.

lololol, oh god thats funny.

You install drivers once, maybe update once a year... and even then itdoesn't really effect performance.

Modding a game? you get mods for games, you don't screw anything up playing CS or customs on Warcraft 3. Gary's mod has nothing like it on consoles, user made maps and character models, graffiti.

And playing online is best on the PC, more games that are balanced regulary, more variety of online games, no charges, voice chat or TEXT, less retarded poeple playing etc...

So in essence it boils down to "PCs are too hard to use and expensive", which is the typical argument. You didn't refute anything else at all. Nobody is saying those ways you mentioned are the optimal ways to game on a PC. The point is that if you want to hook your computer up to your big-screen HDTV and use a 360 controller to play, you can. You have those options ahead of you. On the other hand a lot of the stuff you can do on a PC, you can't on consoles.

Why would action/adventures and platformers and whatever be superior on consoles when, as has been noted, you can use a gamepad on a PC? And I don't know what PC games you've been playing, but most in the past few years have had specific gamepad configurations and/or allowed you to customize your own. Consoles get more platformers and fighting games and such, but they aren't inherently superior on consoles. Why would they be? For the 400th time, you can use a gamepad on a PC, which is the only real obstacle with those types of games. And for some odd reason, Prince of Persia Sands of Time played beautifully on a PC.

[QUOTE="Arjdagr8"]

I prefer consoles over pc simply because of better driving games (gran turismo, forza, project gotham, burnout etc.), fighting games (tekken, dead or alive, virtua fighter, street fighter), platformers (ratchet and clank, mario, conker, jak and daxter etc.), action games (ninja gaiden, devil may cry, god of war) as well as puzzle games, rhythm games, great japanese made games that arent on pc unless done by a really bad porting job (dmc, shadow of the colossus, okami, metal gear solid etc.) as well as a number of shooters some of which arent on pc (others are better on pc)

I play consoles more simply because of the larger variety of games. Really i can't say consoles own pc or vice versa simply because it really depends on the games you prefer. If your into fps and rts, then i guess pc gaming is for you. But im an all round gamer who enjoys games of all sorts. In this case i prefer consoles over pc.

Vandalvideo

what are you talking about, all the best driving games for pc game out before 2000. Just because it has a large quantity considerin PCs came out long ago doesnt make them better. As i said, devil may cry is crap on pc cos of a bad porting job. It is sooo much better on consoles. Just because PC has a large quantity of games doesnt make it better. Maybe i shouldve rephrased what i said...no wait i already said it, consoles has a big variety of games that are BETTER than pc. Even resident evil 4 on pc wasn't that great. Games like mario, zelda, jak and daxter, okami wont come on pc. ninja gaiden is an amazing game, god of war too. burnout?? even splinter cell was claimed to be better on xbox than on pc. I mean with chaos theory you have a bad CD protection system that could potentially mess up your system and double agent has numerous bugs on the pc version. The only games I use my pc for is counter strike, call of duty etc. o wait FPS?! So you say pc has as much variety by talkin about driving games, puzzle games and devil may cry and lost planet. So what about all the rhythm games, fighting games, action games like ninja gaiden or god of war...what about the amazing japanese games that most don't even come out for pc, and if they do they are ported really badly.

The word system is inclusive of PCs. Their both Systems and Platforms. In fact, the word system was applied to PCs before consoles even existed.

Also, something doesn't invent something because it's the first of it's kind to utilize it (like you said with N64 inventing 3D gaming). The first car with a radio in it didn't invent radios.

forza and gt weren't even out then and if you look at reader choices for game of the year, burnout revenge gained 57% while gtr2 only gained 13% of votes. compare one great driving game atm to forza, gran turismo, burnout. I love playing FPSs and RTSs on the PC but thats all i use it for cos thats the genres the PC cater to the mose. I don't play MMO but pc is extremely strong in that genre. Still life is on xbox, still life is an adventure game there are tons of adventure games on consoles. Indigo prophecy was on consoles. but by saying where are all the still life style games or mmo games, i could ask the same about platformers such as ratchet and clank and mario and conker. I could ask where are truly unique games like shadow of the colossus, okami or killer7. I don't know about you but i don't think i would want to occupy so much of my PCs hard drive with these different games. Im not gonna even talk about the money on spending on PCs cos quite frankly consoles are cheaper and easier, im not gonna go into massive details because with debates like these i have seen how PC fanboys counter that with "you can get a cheap but good computer for this much etc.". so what about when you have upgrade again in 2 or 3 years. I mean i upgraded for Far Cry but 3 years later my pc can't even run lost planet, company of heroes or even fear properly. Whereas i bought my ps2 in 2001, when i believe MGS2 came out, but i didnt have to spend extra to play God of war 2. Installing games, bugs for different computers etc. can get really frustrating. Really though it depends the type of games you like, i love japanese games and unique games (that are fun!) as well as shooters and action, rythm games are great too. I dont see high quality Pc versions of these games (except for shooters of course, best on pc, max payne ftw.)

Not to mention the fact that consoles will probably never have the sort of install base in homes that PC's have.

But since you only seem to be pointing out the praises of PC's, let me point out a few negatives. The PC gets nowhere near as many games as consoles. The PC doesn't have as much variety as games on a console, (what's the last really great platformer you played on a PC???), & there are always issues of compatibility/bugginess/upgrading/expensive OS's etc with PC's.

Just playing the Devil's advocate here so that you all don't start patting yourselves on the back too much ;)

ColoradoKindBud

PC has almost 8,000 games listed on GS

PS2 has less than 3,000.

PC gets pretty much every genre except platformer and fighter

There's almost never compatibility issues unless you're a complete moron, and some computers could last for 3-4 years without and upgrade.

Expensive OS's? Now you're just pulling stuff out of your ass.
