5 reasons console gaming>PC gaming

I didnt say All ppl, but compare the amount of ppl who play competitively on pc than console... Theres tons more... But thats not the main point , the main point is that console is more fun that pc games, as the games ive mentioned before. And not your crummy old games that hardly anyone plays anymore. Ive got games both platforms pc and console, and i must say i enjoy the console alot more than pc, an example is re5, alot better on console. And do u realise how many games are ported from console to pc? like MWF2 "ORIGNALLY FROM CONSOLE". Dude if u really did own all platforms, i really dont see how u can say that pc is still more fun, its like saying u think school is more fun than going to party. It really does not make any sense

Point being i think ur ignorant

I'm a Pure PC gamer. but I have played on both X-box and a PS3 when I went to visit my sister for a while. On the 360 I played Fallout mostly, and on the PS3 I played GTA4 and Tomb raider underworld. When I got back home, I got all those games for the PC, and guess what. I enjoyed them A LOT more. Hell, even my old PS1 games feel more fun when I play them on my PC through an emulator. One reason for that, is that no matter how moerse big screen there is, and how Ãœber your home theater system is, everything is too small to make sence from across the room and the emersiveness of games is thrown out the window and summarily craped on by the hobo outside. There is no possible way to beat a PC in that aspect.

Watch out for accusations.

Why does everyone assume that PC can only be played slouching over a desk with headphones. You can play on your 50" (and actually get the proper native resolution instead of upscaled 720p) with your home theater sound system and a controller, if that's what you want to do. You can play any way you want to.

Well the big difference between having everything around the edges of the room on a console, and having all your speackers and your screen right infront of you is that everything is much more clear and presice. For example. I can spot an oke all the way cross a huge map and score a headshot with a pistol if I like. But if my screen is across the room, no matter how big the thing is, I'll never be able to see anything, much less hit it.

This is the dumbest thing I've read all week. Seriously. LOL.
 
His argument is that he'd rather play on a smaller 20 something inch screen then a large awesome 42+ screen? And probably on tinny PC speakers?
 
Yip that's the way PC gamers think... :p
Just joking, but seriously, You made that comment, but have you really sat on a couch and played a shooter? I have a normal TV (not big) and I can comfortably sit on my couch and game...Only prob I have are those damn small words that I can't read, even if I sit right up against my TV

Well u cant just sit down for 1 hour, play a game and see if u liked it or not. u gotta sit down finish a whole game then say how it is. But GTA4 and tomb raider i wouldnt say was one of the great games. U've just been playing the wrong games, try if u can more along the lines of the ps3 exclusives that dont come to pc like heavy rain, definately MGS4 or uncharted 2. Its not about the huge screen, its all about the gameplay to me as well as story line.

This from the woman who thinks Gears of War 2 is better looking than Crysis because if she wanted realistic graphics she'd look at the window. Never realised she lived in a remote tropical island but anyway

Not all of us get off on shiny cartoon graphics for console kiddies

PC gaming just beyond the capacity of some people. They need nothing more complicated than puting a disk in their console loading it up and getting cheap frivolous thrills for an hour.

:p

You're conveniently ignoring the otherwise inconvenient fact, of course, that I still game on PC too. :)

And really, you missed my point about Crysis. Art direction is so much more than just NICE GRAPHICS!!11. Sure, Crysis looks as close to photorealistic as any game has gotten, but... it just looks like any tropical island. I could do a Google image search for "tropical island" and probably come up with a tropical island that looks more interesting that Crysis. Take something like Gears of War, however, and you have an entire world that's been designed and created just for that game, and looks like nothing else. That's more impressive, I think, than photorealistic graphics. Notice the "I think" there. You're wecome to think differently.
 
I agree with Azimuth. A world created specifically for a game is much more visually impressive than a gameworld that looks exactly like the real world. This is what makes God of War III look so damn good IMO, there is a very good sense of scale in there with some EPIC levels. All the set pieces were designed with the source material in mind and everything fits together perfectly and looks really good.
 
This discussion wont end, and I see it being pointless discussing which is better(PC or Console). I feel its best to take advantages of a console and a PC :)

@Azi The graphics in crysis is so awesome, that its better than life itself :p

@Tinman - Lock Topic Lock Topic :p
