PC gaming, How its meant to be played.

Bieng a console gamer for a long time, since ps1, i have always favoured consoles, thinking they had amazing graphics compared to pc's, well budget pc's but after my friends got his pc i was F'ING AMAZED! Call of duty 4. On console its graphics were terrible, but understandable because it was a old old game but on pc they were amazing! i was completely blown away and crysis 2 was like, ZOMG! So all you Xbox fan boys( i was one of you) and Ps3 fan boys please stop arguining over a 3fps diffrence between gaming on you consoles and get a pc! it might be a little more expensive and even budget pc's run better than a console, crysis 2 on medium on pc is better than on any console.

Only thing console have that pc lacks is community as good a Xbox and ps3. i will miss it!

Huh? There are great communities for most games, usually comprised of loyal fans.

No, every game has its idiots and the PC is no exception to this rule.

[QUOTE="Litchie"] No idea what community you've been playing with. All those ultra annoying kids are on consoles.

Strange concept for system wars but most games dont need gaming pcs.An average spec desktop from the past couple years could most likely play a lot of games on the market.

Trust me you aint seen SA:MP's community that can give CoD a run for its money so glad i dont admin anymore on a server looking at its forums the past couple months.

lol i know what you mean, british and american kids are very annoying! but they dutch ones are chilled and cool. the Rastafarians and pot heads are funny and amazingly good at any game they play!

huh community? if anything ive found the pc community to be alot better in maturity and gaming skills.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"][QUOTE="Litchie"] That a gamer more serious about his skills in games go out and buy a nice PC to go with his ambition isn't that weird to me. There are great players on consoles too of course, but if you have the amount of really skilled players vs. the amount of really skilled players on consoles, I'm pretty sure the PC wins.. Also, a really skilled player on PC >>>> a skilled player with auto aim.

Litchie

Funny I have never heard anyone on PC call anyone a "pork ball" etc. I have hardly ever run into the typical halo kids on PC. Also on PGR4 I ran into no end of "chavy" people on there who would give loads of abuse for being quicker. However I think the PC community is harder to get into since not many people use the in game chat. Although once you become a part of a clan etc the PC gaming platform is far far far far grander than anything the console can give. The Console community is more "casual" friendly imo but the PC community is better overall :).

Sigh. well i will miss my console friends! and also PC no one ever chats! its so Dull!

dead serious breh. there are alot of pc games, servers, players that would make a consolite rage in frustration and swear to never play with such a gap in gaming prowess ever again. to name one, i think counterstrike is one of those games where only the elite survive

Yeah PC gaming is the best. If you can deal with glitches, bugs, crashes, compatibility issues, lag, game protection issues, poor ports, unconfortable chair (hey, not everyone has a good one), outdated hardware, missing out on some big multiplatform games, ect.

You def just named a bunch of console problems as well nameless12345.. Oh well, just another day in SW where folks trash talk without really thinking what their typing lol..

your knowledge on pc gaming has been debunked so many times that now ppl dont even consider any of your pc inputs.

glitches are suffered by many platforms and caused by poor dev work.

bugs? dont alot of games have bugs? at least with pc we them fixed with frequent patches and even when a company fails to patch it up, the mod community easily remedies it. what do you think betas are for?

compatibility issues are usually rare and there are easy fixes for them. for older games that ran on wins 95/98 there are usually quick easy fixes for them. i know on steam ive probably ran into maybe 2 games with compaitiblity issues that i fixed in 15 minutes by just going into that game's steam forum for a quick remedy...and thats out of my catalog of 150 games!!! at least with pc's we can go back generations of games. heck we can even play older console platforms! i dont see what the problem is here.

lag? lol wut!?!? most pc games have dedicated servers. plz you're making this way too easy

poor ports? we usually get the superior games even when a multiplatform is designed on a console and ported to pc, the pc version is usually always superior in every aspect!

unconfortable chair? i sometimes play my pc games on my bed or sofa. heck ppl who game on their gaming laptops play on the toilet! is that all you have?

outdated hardware? oh like outdated consoles? do you realise how cheap you can get very good hardware, especially hardware better than the tech found in consoles? this is laughable.

missing out on some multiplats? haha do you realize how many exclusives pc has? you can combine all the consoles exclusives and it still wouldnt be enough to over shadow what pc has to offer. we can just say "missing out on all the exclusives", not to mention superior multiplats.

plz, you hve been trounced time and time again. i wonder when you'll make another pc bashing thread again only to see it get locked like always.

I'd have more respect for PC gaming if **** like this didn't happen to me, I just bought 2 6850's, they both came with a free game, shogun 2 refuses to start... week 1, I went from absoluely nothing happening to I know see a splash screen that initially shows what I'm trying to start, then nothing happens. Going onto week 2 of uber stupidety of trying to get my new game to work, I should put back in my nvidia card and see if it works...

So, guys. Do you think this topic could discuss the differences in the gaming experience between PC and console platforms, and NOT their respective communities? :)

Sigh, pc is not for noobs. buying new hardware for pc is dificult! Not all graphics cards will work with all motherboards. sometimes dual graohics cards dont work because of software problems. my friend bought components worth $1500 to build his own pc and it FAILED! bought a i7 sandy bridge and tryed to run it on a 775 socket motherboard? also when he bought a new motherboard that worked with SB he's PSU was not suffiecent!

back then i used to go with am/ati cards and they would act funny somtimes. i switched to nvidia completely like 3-4 gpu's ago and have never had any issues since. dunno, im just saying maybe u shud try out nvidia. i have alot of friends with shogun 2, no problems so far and they all happen to run nvidia cards.

Lack of knowledge is not a excuse for being difficult. If your friend would have done 10 minutes of research before buying anything, he would have not made that mistake....

And that is not what he said. His statement alludes that Pc only has these problems which a Rage01010 already stated above and debunked. The fact he talked about a chair, outdated hardware, lag, etc just makes his argument sound far off as a console is by its nature outdated hardware; lag is subjective base on game, dedicated servers, peoples connections; and the chair statement makes 0 sense (guess consles can have inconfortable chairs as well?)

[spoiler] Speaking in abosolute is a wrong avenue to have.. Your statemsnets Can be far worst not that they ARE far worst. I've yet to have one crash, one game not work, one compatability problem in 8 years on my Pc. That is just me. I do not say that All pc gamers have that issue or not but I will not say its facts that X is [/spoiler]

i would say thats neglegence on improper research. so your friend bought $1500 worth of pc components and somehow failed to buy a psu strong enough to run it all? do you realize how bad that sounds? thats like saying you bought a ferrari but it failed on you because the fuel you used was not sufficient due to you using dirt instead of gasoline. what was he running like a 350-450W psu on $1500 hardware? lol i would say thats his own fault. psu is like the heart of a rig. you can have some crazy awesome gpu,cpu,motherboard setup but it wont run when underpowered. com'n man, seriously. i would really recommend a pc shop next time instead building your own rig if you/him cant figure that out

I consider the differences between console and PC gaming to be neglible most of the time. Except for Bethesda games, where modding completely changes the game. But for the most part, I consider the experiences to be rather similar.

Edit: Sorry for the strange double post mods :(

thats a bad generalization, a stereotype, a myth, a LIE! in fact, i think im the complete opposite of that. i dont mean to come off as conceited but i think im quite handsome... i will counter that fake stereotype of a south park pic and debunk it with a pic of my own, mind you, im quite the pc nerd and am very proud of it!

cod 4 is an old old game with terrible graphics?

i feel old all of a sudden.

PC community is the best community 8)

Agree about the community thing. I checked out Black Ops during the free weekend they had and the servers were mostly empty. Not only that but the only option for matchmaking was "ranked game," and there were no playlists based on gametype.
