Pc gaming VS Console Gaming Survey

[Lalakai]

put me in coach.

I also added comments in the boxes. Old die hard PC gamer. Tried the consoles but just can't make the adjustment. Plus, I have too many old games I enjoy playing that use emulators; try doing that on the console.

it's extremely easy to play emulators on a modded xbox. pop in a disc with all the games on it and select one.

??? you can mod a console so that you can utilize emulators to play older games? Hadn't heard that; learned something new today. thanks.

lol but still gonna stay with the PC; just can't get the motor nerve memory like I do with the keyboard and joystick

yea it's been happening for about a decade lol. pretty much all of the older system emulators work flawlessly on xbox.

all console shooters have auto aim anyways

blasphemy!!! Another reason console shooters suck.

I never thought I would ever stop playing on the PC...but when the 360 came out 6+ years ago, it coincided with me having much less time and interest putting the time into PC gaming. Consoles are just too easy and fit my lifestyle much better. In a perfect world, I would have time for both, but my priorities dictate that I barely have time for consoles.

I like PC gaming is MUCH better because:

1. You spend $500 on a budget rig, that serves as your computer AND 'free' gaming platform. I do my photography work on this, watch movies, play music, and also becomes a free console. I can't picture myself sinking $400-600 JUST on a console JUST for gaming.

2. Gaming on PC is much cheaper, so many demos & free-to-play games (Dota, Path of Exile, etc), and they go on sale very often. Console titles are almost always $69.99+ for first releases and hardly drop in price.

3. I plain like PC games- much more in-depth. You can't play FPS or RTS or Dota on consoles.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Done, PC rules!

 

[CPA]

no it wont. i bet the majority of peple here game on both PC and Consoles

This, though 90% of mine is done on PC. Sports games and certain coop games I prefer on console.

is the last time you gamed on a console back on N64?

 

[Fritzo]

I do PC. Can't get past the limited controls on consoles. There's nothing more frustrating than playing an FPS on an XBox and it takes forever to turn around, when you know you could do it instantly with a mouse

 

[Harrod]

I tend to think that consoles are kindof holding the industry back in some ways, although they do allow access to content much more easily.

 

[CraigRT]

Done... PC gamer here.

Agreed. If you need a computer anyway, it's only like $150 extra to get a decent graphics card you can drop in vs. onboard. That's a bargain.

2. Gaming on PC is much cheaper, so many demos & free-to-play games (Dota, Path of Exile, etc), and they go on sale very often. Console titles are almost always $69.99+ for first releases and hardly drop in price.

Agreed here too. The only real option for cheap console games is to go used, and it seems used prices have been going up slightly. Many more sales for PC games, and cheap/free options.

3. I plain like PC games- much more in-depth. You can't play FPS or RTS or Dota on consoles.

And that too. There are some console-only games (most sports games) and some that control better with a controller (many 3rd person shooters as well as racing and flying), but I just hook up a 360 controller to my PC and I'm set for those as well.

is the last time you gamed on a console back on N64?

Maybe he's from Australia or something where the prices are higher.

 

[Puppies04]

250k$+ a year?? we do???

Get real buddy.. (it's more like 500k)

Keep trying buddy you will get there someday.

It actually opened up gaming to a lot more people. Most of the people using a console would never game on a PC.

im 99% pc gamer but if i do happen to play a little cod or gow the first thing i do on consoles is turn my camera speed all the way up in options.

 

[vi edit]

Consoles are starting to lose their luster to me. Mandatory installs for the PS3, all of the system and game updates, ect. Some games take 30 minutes before you are even able to play them. Even longer if you haven't turned your system on in a while and it wants to do a system update.

Even then, I always having the feeling that every shot would be a headshot in CoD if I had a mouse

 

[Oldgamer]

Done. PC all the way. Mods. Cheaper. Steam. Blizzard Games.

Same here..

Change 360 to PS3 and this is me exactly

 

[KaOTiK]

I play both, but I consider myself primarily a PC gamer.

 

[moonbogg]

Done. PC is superior as it allows a greater degree of skill to be employed. PC gamers who play shooters with a controller must understand this.

 

[Gothgar]

Free ipod?

 

[Krazy4Real]

Done.
