I grew up gaming on PC. One might say I grew into it. I prefer most everything about it to consoles (which is not to be percevied as a slight, but rather my personal preference). Community is one reason I own a PS3 though.

Well you checked wrong as CS can be played on an xbox360 as it was once a xbox game :P

and I honestly never found SC very appealing =S WC3 maybe, but not SC. Besides those games could be ran on my toaster if I so wished to play it.

Also do you PC gamers agree that console community is about 100x better these days?

Same reason why a person would rather drive a porsche than a ford. If you can afford to get better, then why settle for less? Pc gaming is the royal treatment of videogames.

Last time I went on Xbox Live, I had 8 kids screaming at me, got called a chink/squinty 14 times and got the N word thrown around like a beachball on a day on a beach.

Yup, much better than PC community.

Because everything you stated is a lie. PC has a great online community. Alsogames on PC look and runs better, not to mentionthegames cost less than on consoles.

You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, do you? You can't criticize an entire community for being "terrible", it's just downright stupid and can't be proven.

Yeah because online gaming is the be all and end all. If a game doesn't have online multiplayer it might as well just give up.:roll:

Sorry bro, everyone and their mother games on a console these days.

Also I can rely on my product (PS3) in this case to not fail me.

Unlike having tobuy and build a flashy computer just to have my main component for gaming -graphics card- not work....

It costs you way too much just to have fun and game. That is why I find PC gaming so ludicrous.

Are you trolling? or do you actually have any proof to back up any of your claims? This is ridiculous.

EDIT: never mind you are obviously trolling.

If your graphic card isn't working you should have a warranty on it, so just replace it.

also I bet all you pc gamers were quite jealous when you saw us playing Halo,Uncharted2,Killzone and such.

It cannot be denied that consoles are getting the better game choice these days. Hell game developers are even starting to develop multiplatform games

for consoles and then port it to your pc. lulz

Ok guys I'm dead serious lol. WHY?!

I want to know a valid reason why you all PC game!

I'll tell you why I choose to play on my PS3 and Xbox360.

Better Games (IMHO), I can sit back and chill on the couch, I can bring my friends over and we can all play, almost everyone is gaming on a console now as the PC gamers are slowly falling, I could go on and on.

So please, no troll, just tell me why you guys game on the PC.

I'm a console gamer (PSWii and a bit of 360 as well) and I'd LOVE to have a gaming PC.

Some of the best games ever are only on PC dude, what are you talking about?

Crysis, WoW, Civilization series, World in Conflict, CS, StarCraft, Diablo II, Battlefield (before BC), Command & Conquer, WarCraft, Age of Empire, Baldur's Gate, The Sims, etc...

Plus a LOT of games even I don't know about because the last good PC I ever had is like 5 years old. (I'm a Mac now)

If you can't understand that, then I'm sorry for you.

I'm pretty much always going to need to have a super powerful computer to do 3D rendering for my Engineering and Art Design hobbies, why not use it for games, too, if I've already got money put into it?

Plus, I like the exclusives. More in depth strategy/tactics games, more atmospheric mystery/horror games, more quirky indie games, etc.

Valid reasons here we go: a) A game costs $10 less. Last time I checked, $10 can grab you a pretty decent meal or a couple of beers and a few packets of chips (to recharge while playing, eh?) b) PC has exclusives too. Counter Strike and Sims are popular examples. c) Loads of mods and user generated content (excluding Modern Warfare 2's lack of dedicated servers) d) You can carry your laptop around and play games. You can download your PC game of choice onto a USB and carry that around too. You CANNOT carry your console around and expect to use it (unless you are going to a friend's house).

Because it has hundreds of great games not avaible on consoles. That's the main reaso.

Also do you PC gamers agree that console community is about 100x better these days?

michael_brennan

Not really. I don't think console gaming actualy has any real community. On PC gaming population is split into thousands of small communities, each dedicated to one or few games. Those are real communities. On consoles there's just one big gaming population, there's no real sense of community
