Is there still a debate about PC being the best?

I'm just curious if there is anyone out there that still believes XBOX/PS3 > PC for gaming, I'm honestly just curious.

The "I like to game from my couch" argument doesn't count, strictly talking about quality of game experience (graphics/controls/games)

Yep, and it's subjective, but what's objective is that the PC has more AAAs and AAs than consoles.

I like the simplicity, short-term cheapness and quite a few games that are not on PC. So yeah, console gaming > PC gaming. Of course, "imo".IronBass

You do realize, there are more PC exclusive games then all 3 consoles combined, right?

EDIT: "PC Games don't appeal to me", I can see that coming.

Look at my edit, I totally saw that coming, so, you have tried all the good PC exclusive games? Thats where your opinion comes from?

All of that is irrelevant. Opinion rules the day in this debate I suppose.

Would you console players switch to PC if you had a bad-momma gaming PC?

So, you have an opinion, based on what? Sounds to me, like most other console fans, you didn't even give PC gaming a chance, hence why I saw that line coming.

Are you basing that on what the game looks like? (Most people seem too) Just curious, because people always say things like this, yet have no real basis on how one game appeals to them and how another doesn't, for instance, Crysis/Crysis 2, probably one of the best FPS this Gen, yet people will say, "I don't like Crysis, it doesn't appeal to me", yet they have never played it, but will play any other console FPS, over Crysis, it honestly makes no sense to me, I have 2 gaming PC's and all 3 consoles, so thats why I'm curious.

Fair enough, I still don't see how anyone can say they don't like PC gaming when there are hundreds of exclusives compared to the consoles, there is bound to be some that people will like.

I'm a very looooong time PC gamer (15+ years), and ATM have a decent PC. Also, I'm a recent console gamer and I must say I enjoy consoles more ATM. All pros and cons have been discussed till mouth-bleeding so I won't even try it, however, when you say best, you should try to be more specific - best technologically, or best in providing fun, or best in value for money or what ...?

There is no debate, it's just a bunch of fanboys trying to bring it down with bull**** statements, which is quite ironic. Why would you try so hard to demolish something if already dead, like you claim?

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] When is the cutoff for that, btw? Are we just counting back to the beginning of this console gen (X360 launch), or is that including everything from Win 3.1 486 computers and onwards?Hahadouken

most pc games are just too hardcore imo. Some games just take so long on how to figure out wtf your supposed to do, and then when you figure it out and play on line you get absolutely destroyed by everyone. Cause to me it just seems like with every pc game if your playing online, your playing with people where, thats all that do, is play that game, so unless you dedicate a ton of time to something, you just dont stand a chance. Console games online, sure you run into really skilled people, but for every 1 skilled guy you get 4 or 5 who just play it casually and to have fun, or have never played it before.

No debate neccessary, anybody who doesn't realize the superiority of PC is clearly in denial.

What? I'm online? I am :).

Kidding aside, I always was interested in that game, but it seems hardcore lol. Dust 514 seems cool though.

Sadly yes, there are still people that think that. They will say that console gaming is easier, that it is cheaper, and other things that are false.

EDIT: "PC Games don't appeal to me", I can see that coming.

Console gaming's simplicity might make it seem better than PC gaming, but PC gaming is obviously better. You get what you pay for.

I'd rather have either a 360 or PS3 over PC. PC gaming is kinda dead in terms of good exclusive games, and I prefer controllers over keyboard and mouse. Also, I'd rather play on a big TV rather than my not so big computer screen. And nobody I know IRL PC games either so what's the point? Also, there are no standardized achievements/trophies on PC. Sure some games support them but there aren't many.

Another point is, that I don't live in a very big town so none of the stores here sell the latest PC games. And another thing, I'm not totally sure. but I don't think you can play used GFWL games.

Also, its extremely expensive to keep on upgrading a PC. And if I want a new graphics card I need a new motherboard because mine doesn't support AGP or PCI (forget which one, but its the newer one). You can argue that a console costs like $300 now but do you know how much I'd have to pay to upgrade my computer to bench the best games nowadays?

• -New OS (I still have XP with its dx9)
• More RAM (I only have 512)
• New Motherboard (current one doesn't support the latest graphics card)
• New graphics card
• I'd also need a new monitor that supports 1080p
• Maybe a new sound card

This would probably cost me over $700 from what I guess. I'd rather take a $300 console, with graphics that are actually pretty/often the same as PC game's graphics.

I just though of the debate-ending point which proves consoles are superior to PC gaming. Local multiplayer. I have friends who I interact with in real life.

Alright, now address my other two posts on this thread. The long one and the local MP one.

You can't prove something with an opinion.

Yes, me, myself and I, I, IIIIIII... How many times did you use the word "I" in this post? Egocentric much? Your personal experience does not "prove" anything.

And that last part is just flat-out false.
