Pc gaming vs console gaming *poll*

You should be ashamed of yourself. Scandinavia is one of the home bases of PC gaming and with events like Dreamhack one of the leading parts of the world in competitive PC gaming. Traitor lol.

I was gonna vote for console but considering how system wars is filled with pc gamers at 100% of the time rather console gamers for "some" reason :roll: i bet pc gamig will be much higher on the votes than console gaming...so i wont even bother voting to increse the votes, its a lost cause trully.dakan45

Consoles, "no discussion."

this gen, it is the PC.

last gen, it was ps2.

Before that, PC and playstation in about equal measure.

And during the time of amiga and c64, it was SNES.

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="Birdy09"] These polls use to be alot closer, perhaps the reality is that these consoles are showing thier age, its not a lost cause,you just dont like the outcome.blue_hazy_basic

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="dakan45"] Actualy it is a lost cause because all the console gamers got tired of arguing with pc gamers and stop posting in those threads. As i said, its a lost cause. It was inevitable. It happened.lowe0

Im a gamer, I game on everything.

PsP,DS,3DS,PS3,Wii,360,PC ect ect....

Console because all my friends don't game on PC:(

pc, probably spend 80% of my gaming time on pc, compared to 19% on 360 and 1% on PS3

For personal prefence no one can argue against. Although you do know its simple to attach the PC to your TV and if your preference is a less acurate control method you can use a controller as well, so the couch/controller thing is OH NOES .... :P

Single freinds list? how is that a benefit? oh right, they have caps aswell :lol:. Skype is my single freinds list and communication in one.Birdy09

Show me an active Gears of War fansite than.

I can show more than 20 Diablo 2 community sites wich are being populated and updated regularly. And that is an old 2d sub HD hack and slash game. Face it, console gamers have no sense of community. And no, an online network like Live and PSN alone doesn't create a community.

Has SW become a hermit paradise again? :o PC not just beating all 3 consoles combined but doubling their number! I never thought I'd live to see the day ....blue_hazy_basic

The PC has matured a great deal. With Windows 7 gaming has become about as convenient as consoles. In fact my friends are amazed that my PC crashes less than my 360...

There is a wider variety of games, for all tastes, available on PC now than ever before. Integrated graphics cards that don't suck are on the horizon and that will put medium spec PC gaming in the hands of everyone that owns a computer.

The future for the PC seems quite bright at the moment but obviously won't last forever.

It's worth noting that Microsoft have included out-of-the-box HDTV support since Windows Vista. I myself game on a 46" Samsung at 1920x1080, on PC, with a wireless KB/M combo and a 360 controller, also wireless.

There is not a problem with 'UI Design' anymore and hasn't been since Windows XP.

Any modern (last few years) graphics card that you would buy for gaming come with 3 ways to connect to any new TV. HDMI, VGA (with adapter) and DVI.

And here we go again... PC

-Dedicated servers

-Better graphics

-Mouse and keyboard as well as any input device you want, including the Novint Falcon

-Can actually do 1080 and much more and also can do 60 fps and much more

-Steam, Direct2Drive, GoG.com, Impulse, Amazon, Blizzard, EA, and any and all other digital ways of downloading games. Then OnLive as a bonus.

-No charge for yearly internet

-Mods

-Up to three screens in FPS and racing games is amazing

-Backwards compatability

-The amount of customization that I have on my own experience, in both hardware and sofware.

-The distance I am from my monitor means that it takes up a larger field of vision than a large HDTV at a further distance (even though if I wanted I could just plug my PC into a HDTV).

-Xfire, FRAPs, Steam, Skype, Ventrillo, TeamSpeak, etc...

-And I'm tired of listing these things.

Of course people are going to have various assessments of the relative value of aspects of each platform. I listed a few aspects I find to be of positive net value, and those were dismissed out of hand instead of being discussed. That's fine, but next time this thread comes up there'll be another post about how console gamers only have the same few easily disproven arguments.lowe0

The most valid argument I ever see for consoles is that people prefer a closed environment to an open one for exactly the reason that they don't want so many options.

I can understand this. I do not feel that way but then i've spent a long time working with PC's and understand them fairly explicitly. With this in mind options for me are a great thing. For someone with limited time to explore them, a lack of interest in them or a lack of knowledge to use them they can just get in the way.

None of this changes the fact that, objectively, the PC is the better platform but subjectively, consoles may be more fun to use.

43 console

129 pc

funny, 129/43 = 3

it's a triple! domination confirmed.

I prefer consoles. I guess I'm a casual gamer.

I game primarily on PC now, but that's thanks to my roommate who constantly monopolizes the TV in our room. Because of how often I've been playing games on my computer and how little I've been playing games on my PS3, I thought I liked PC gaming more. But now that I think about it, whenever I get the chance to play my PS2 or PS3, the games are a lot more fun.

Console exclusive games like Tales of Vesperia, Sonic Unleashed, MLB10 the Show, Sonic 4, Scott Pilgrim, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and White Knight Chronicles are what make console gaming better.

But I will admit, when playing shooters, PC is the way to go. Playing shooters on the 360 or PS3 is no fun at all.

PC.

The game library is massive and there is a much larger selection of the type of games I like to play (RTS, FPS, stat-focused RPGs, MMOs). Mods add significant value to many games. I enjoy building computers and like that I can upgrade my hardware as I see fit. I prefer the level of precision control that a mouse provides.

That said, I do enjoy console gaming as well, but for different reasons. Console gaming is great for when I get home from work and want to just crash on the couch with a simple game. It's also good for when friends are over who aren't into PC gaming.
