PC Games vs Consoles

[Pete for President]

I miss the days when good games came finished in the box and didn't require updates. I used to be in the console camp, but since the PS3/X360 generation consoles don't have the simplicity I used to love about consoles. Put disc in console and play. Now a game needs a patch on day 1, the system needs updates, and stuff I don't like happens. Why is there a smurfing Singstar icon on my PS3? I never asked for this!

I'm still considering getting a PS4 for certain titles (Bloodborne mainly), but I think PC is the better way to go nowadays.

You can get a pretty crazy graphics card for that kind of money

Where? My GTX 980 cost me $500, and I'd hardly consider it crazy.

Relative to whatever was in the console that was launched closest to when you got/overhauled your pc, assuming you get that graphic card a few years later as an upgrade.

And yes. 980 is sort of the best card that people who don't crap gold will ever buy. Stronger cards are just made as penis enlargers for the company to be able to brag about having the best card on the market.

I like Mario, Zelda, Uncharted, Xenoblade, and many others that are exclusive to consoles so that is where my loyalties lie. The only PC exclusive I've been interested in in the last decade is Undertale which only came out recently. Consoles are also much more straightforward and in a life with toddler twins I want my gaming to be as straightforward as possible. I don't even use a PC at home anymore. Cell phones and iPads do everything I ever needed a PC for.

PC master race! Im actually really surprised of what my laptop is capable of. It's older and only has 4 gigs of ram but it does pretty alright. I can play old ff's at least When I say old, I mean ps1 Era. But I definitely want to build a beast of a machine eventually when I can put money aside for it. TERABYTES OF RAM I TELLS YA.

Almost the same as my situation. Rarely use a PC these days other than at work!!

I actually got a gaming PC recently, since I've been missing out and needed a new comp for my translations anyway. but I still want a Wii U and most of my gaming is on my 3DS and Vita. Really, power is one thing, but there really is no better way to immerse yourself into a game than by curling up with it comfortably under a blanket on your couch while the weather is -20 C with heavy snow.

-20 C -- Wow that's cold!!

This is what springs to mind when someone says "PC Gaming master race"!

That is very sweet and is why consoles/handhelds are better than PC's!!

[Fynn]

You can't very well cuddle on your PC chairs can you

Disqualified, your wife is not on the forums! Besides, this isn't a cutest couple discussion it's a pc vs console one and the benefits of a pc far outweigh a console. I'd rather upgrade parts at a time then buy a whole new machine every few years

A console generation is between 5 and 10 years though........without the need to upgrade within that time.....
