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.

I love me some triggers

@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?

Oh yes, and Chevy Nova's came with some pretty big engines back in the late 1960's. Such as the 7.0L/427ci V8 in the Yenko Supernova.

prefer digital buttons over analog triggers. Triggers are pointless.

Bullshit. You would KIND OF have a point if he said $300-500 bullshit prices, but $800-1000 is perfectly fine.

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.

You sound like Riley from the Boondocks during that episode Guess Hoe's Coming to Dinner. He was playing Crystal in some game and kept complaining about his controller breaking.

@-God-: I did in fact say LESS than $800-$1000.

You're essentially agreeing with me.

How console gamers should be replying to this thread:

"Because I personally prefer console exclusives and genres. I like JRPG and Halo and stuff. Just my opinion"

What we are getting:

"Lie Lie Lie"

how?

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.

I'm calling BS, I've never seen anybody build a good gaming PC for less than 700

What exactly do you mean by "good"?

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.

Where did I say I could build a PC for less than 300$?

Do you know how many games I could get for a PC for 60$?

I do have an Xbox one, and it is a dust collector. Give me a list of worthy PS4/X1 only exclusives.

Maybe I just don't want to pay more than I have to.

I find controllers much more immersive and realistic for 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.

That's one of the reasons. The other day I was playing Condemned on my PC using my KB+M, I was turning around way too fast with my mouse whilst maintaining perfect aim at enemies sneaking up behind me. It just ruined the whole experience. I know you can lower the sens but it just feels so wrong having low sens when using a mouse.
