[QUOTE="dtno132"][QUOTE="_LiquidFlame_"]Hey guys, need a recommendation. :) I just got my Wii, and I can't decide between Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy. I can only buy one right now, and I can't decide! _LiquidFlame_

Consoles don't have to bother with upkeep, installing, space (memory may be a pain at times, but a memory card is a BIT cheaper than an external/another harddrive, and less bothersome), not to mention you can let friends borrow any game and swap. It saves money from renting/buying since most games don't last a week. PC, I'm not even going there.

Consoles do have system updates and patches for games.

PS3 installs some of their games. In MGS4, you have to install the game 5 times even after you beat the game already. Also with steam you do not have to install. You download the game for a couple of hours and just click and play. No disc, installation, key code, or waiting required.

Memory card? I assume you're talking about the wii considering PS3 and 360 both don't use memory cards.

Yes that is a plus for console games. But when you say console games don't last a week, that's obviously not true for PC games. Personally I find PC games have more depth and are more fun than console games. I currently can find tons of servers for Team fortress 2 and that's probably over a year old. This is the same with starcraft, counterstrike, and generally all PC games.

I've never had an update take longer than 3 minutes, with most under a minute. It's not a hassle at all.

For the longevity of the game, it's pretty much it's fun factor, replayability, and if it's actually online/no linear ending. FPS's have no reason to worry. Games like Fable 2, Oblivion, Zelda, God of War, and such last very short compared to games with no ending. Sure, there's the completion of 100% that might drive you to finish everything, but it's lifespan of play is limited. In defense, the games are amazing and will stick to you much closer than others. It's pretty much the game. I finished up Black and White in a week, and the same applies for that PC game as well as any console game with an end.

Seriously, this argument is so tired. The only point I'll address is that it's ridiculous to say that you'll only spend $200 every 4-5 years to keep your PC up to the most current gaming standards. Really, I'm sure you know better. PC gaming isn't as expensive as consolites would have us believe, but it IS more expensive than that. Anyway, these threads are sad. They make both sides look like idiots. Please stop.BigJerm1

It's all opinion of choice.

I rather consoles for better controls. Keyboard and mouse doesn't cut it for me.

Graphics. Honestly I could care less if the textures are that much more fluent. It's not the graphics alone I go for in a game; it's the overall concept. It's the same game no matter which way you look at it.

Game-wise, there are no Nintendo on PC. Again, this is all of choice. Some could care less; I do. I like my Brawl, and it would be ruined beyond all form if put on a PC. At least the online would work for once, though..

Mods, PC wins no doubt. For more content and replayability.

As for behavior online, it's even. I've dealt with little kids, 'noobs', elitist asses (which are even worse), and the whole damn peanut gallery on both console and PC. Where do you cross the line from casual to 'serious' gaming? When you spend over $300 a month on games? Games are meant for enjoyment. Everyone has a different life that they live. Some are busy and deal with sickly parents, some may game but like going out with friends a lot more, some may have to work full time with college. Behavior and gaming-'conditions'(?) are all different for each person.
