So yeah I've had kids all over my house all weekend. They brought their game consoles and being the fun-filled 'ask your mommy' uncle I am I sat down to play with them.

Those damn L&R triggers. How in the hell is that comfortable for anyone? I fumbled the controller a number of times finagling with those bastard triggers.

You know what would make things so much easier? PUT THEM ON THE BACK OF THE CONTROLLER!

Why do I have to make gang signs to play a freaking game? How do you consolites do it?

Yeah I mean the real reason I play on PC is because I'm a grognard, and you don't get that on consoles. But seriously, 30 minutes with that LBP Kart Racer and RSI kicks in.

Get XboxOne Elite controller, which can reassign trigger to the back.

At that price they can kiss my derriere. I didn't pay that much for my far superior G5000 mouse.

That brings up another thing I dislike about consoles: nickle and dimed. Nickle and dimed.

When I'm playing Xbox and the family comes in, I tell them to GET THE **** OUT. No more family, just me and my machine. Triggers are natural.

Clint Eastwood's old-guy face from that movie was the first thing that popped into my head when I read that line br0kenrabbit wrote.

Yeah, Clint Eastwood already a great actor, is absolutely perfect as a grumpy old dude. Plus, the movie has a surprisingly deep story behind it.

This. There are certain genres of games that I prefer either a controller or m/kb.

cause the cost of building and upgrading a pc over several years is more expensive than purcasing a console every 6 years.

1. You can't play games on your PC without upgrading it? Most of the time all you need is a 150$ for a graphics card and you're back in business.. You can also just upgrade for cheaper when next-gen arrives.

2. Have you forgotten games/online/accessories/peripheral prices? As a bonus, a PC does the same job as a generic PC (200$) + console (350-400$).

For that price, I can build a more capable PC than console.

You can never build a decent pc for less than 300$!!! And it will surely not last as long as a console, let's settle for 6 years.

You pay online but you have more than 1000$ worth of games, take it or leave it!!!

Why not have both and call it a day??? That what any sane man should do.

KB+M is objectively superior for a lot of genres however I don't enjoy using it as much. I find controllers much more immersive and realistic for FPS & Horror games, they are also better for racers, platformers and most third person games.

A budget build with a 750 ti cost less than that and it can run game better than console based on what Digital Foundry has shown.

There's a place for both m/kb and controllers... They definitely lend themselves to different genres though... A 2d sides roller on m/kb? Yikes.

And yeah... Controllers don't hold a candle in FPS.

I'm guessing he's referring to the trigger functionality over the mouse click button, in relation to a trigger in a rifle/pistol.

If I play CS:GO for a week and then fire up the Xbox for some games it feels really terrible. I'm less accurate and it feels so slow. With that said, I wouldn't dare play a fighting game or platformer with a m/k.

@servomaster: you'd be shorting yourself to get into PC gaming by building a PC for less than $800-$1000.

That's like buying a Ferrari and putting a Chevy Nova in as the engine.

How would you fit another car into the back of a ferrari?
