† L4ugh Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I agree with the idea that both have their good and bad sides. I think consoles excel at platformers and guncon games, but I can't stand using a controller for a FPS. It could just be because I'm not use to aiming with a thumb but I think aiming with a controller is far to jerky. PCs with keyboard controls are really the only way I think I'll ever be able to play FPS games. Another plus is that PCs are usually far better at being reverse compatible with old games. However, finding a good guncon for a PC is like searching for bigfoot and in the end using a console guncon is usually the best option anyways. I'm also kind of disappointed with PC controllers on the market today. The designs anymore are pretty lame compared to what you could find a few years ago and again the best ones are usually ported from the consoles.

Malyssa Rahl Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I prefer the versatility of the PC over consoles. But I also like to use a game controller for many games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Talena Mae Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think consoles are better and in the beginning they are designed for games and only games. It has only been lately you are able to do other things like access the net on them. No matter how much you make your PC a "gamers" PC the console will still piss all over it.

nightraven Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 PC beats out consoles hands down as far as graphics and game play go. The are no consoles on the market the support the latest Direct X. The other thing you get with a PC vs console is functionality last time I checked you couldn't do word processing on your xbox. The PC is vastly more useful you can customize it run the software of your choice you are not charged to use some kinda live service. The console is designed to rip you off by making you buy everything which is a joke and Sony couldn't even keep your data safe.I think consoles are better and in the beginning they are designed for games and only games. It has only been lately you are able to do other things like access the net on them. No matter how much you make your PC a "gamers" PC the console will still piss all over it.you should really check your hardware stats xbox run on basically the same hardware as a desktop PC. The only reason most PC game run poorly on computer is because they are built for consoles and a poorly ported out to PC.The cutting edge development is always done on the PC not the console.

snex777 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hands down PC, with a PC the choices are endless you can build and kind of system you want. This Generation of consoles is terrible with do many issues like overheating due to poor design and the all popular corrupt save game files with large files on PS3's. The only solid console that doesnt have a ton of bugs or hardware issues is the wii (not counting x360 and ps3 slim, they still have issues that they should of got right the first time) I bought a ps3 and xbox360 the day they came out and both died with in 3 years and i was lucky if i played them 5 hours a week.

dark4yoyo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd say PC personally because I find nothing better for fps' than a mouse and a keyboard plus the (way) better graphics you get on computers compared to ps3 the annoying part to it is that it costs a lot to upgrade your computer to be good enough for the latest's games (though personally it's not a problem 'cause I'm 16 and I'm not the one paying my comp).The advantage of consoles would be cheaper to buy (though console games cost more than PC games) and a bigger community I think (like on COD series and BF series).And of course obviously you can do way more things with a PC than with a console even though the latest consoles can also browse internet.

Gedo Mazo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Pc is the better of all.,because the games retain their cheats. As for consoles ones the cheats are being remove and replace with DLC.,and top of that you have to pay for them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami King Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I started out playing video games on a console, & I've tried PC gaming, but I can't wrap my head around the controls.for examplePS3: 17 buttons & two analog sticksPC: a full key board, a mouse & sometimes a controllereven a blind & deaf man can see that consoles are simpler, where controls are concernedas for graphics, my experience is, they're only better on a high-end monitor, if you hook it up to a tv through a PC input or DVI/HDMI, graphics aren't as good, simply because PCs aren't tailored for tvs, while consoles are.I bought a ps3 and xbox360 the day they came out and both died with in 3 years and i was lucky if i played them 5 hours a week.You must've picked yours up on Friday the 13th, and crossed paths with a shit ton of black cat & broke even more mirrors, 'cuz I got an 80GB "Fat" PS3 '07, played it for at least 10 hours a day, and knock on wood, it still work just as great as the day I bought it.

Krogothwolf Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 It really doesn't matter. It depends on the kind of games you wish to play and how you like playing them. Neither are better or worse then the other. It's a silly debated created by people fighting over epeen size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max465 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I bought a ps3 and xbox360 the day they came out and both died with in 3 years and i was lucky if i played them 5 hours a week.You've had a PC you used for gaming last more than 3 years? TEACH ME YOUR WAYS MAGIC MAN!! PC's on average even if they survive and run perfectly as the day you bought it are obsolete technology wise after about 3 years due to the rapid increase in technology over the past 10 years. On top of that I've had my 360 for over 5 years now and it runs fine. I will defend to my death that PC gaming is better graphically, but I will say the same for Console gaming and it's stability. Consoles are hands down on average more reliable than PC's. Honestly it sounds like you drew the short straw when it comes to consoles.

Digatu Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 TBH, I don't care if its on a Console or PC. I care about wether the game I'm playing has playability or not, because, after all, no playability equals crap on any gaming platform. Graphics come 2nd to playability for me and always will.

I will admit that out of the three current systems xbox is the least reliable(I wonder why it being made by a company that specializes in PC's and all. 8D), but I've never seen someone have problems that bad. Out of my friends I've only heard of 3 replacing their xbox, one because of 1st gen overheating, one because of the red ring, and one was because they wanted to upgrade to the new one with built in wi-fi.Also, I will admit with the PC thing I was referring to laptops as that's what I primarily use. I've never had one(that wasn't a Mac, but I won't get into that), last more than 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviathan87 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 well wii u is coming the cost is 300 - 600$ followed by xbox 720 and ps4 sometime in 2014. pc will have the edge for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bane Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 PC hands down, they're much more reliable, easier to fix, easeir to upgrade. you can mod them with minimal effort, you can play mods on them with minimal effort and (for me at least) the control schemes are more intuitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
