Computer or Console
 
Which type of gaming do you prefer and why?
I like computer more becasue the games are better and more real then a console I also like it becasue i find it more fun to play on a computer.

Personally, I prefer computers. Computers are more versatile, and produce better games of the genres I prefer, MMORPG and FPS. Most must-buy console games are ported to the PC anyway, so I don't lose much.

I prefer to play a game on a pc. I find the mouse more acute and the keyboard is more flexible.

But there are times when it’s fun to just sit down on the couch and play a game more casually and it’s much more fun to play a game with some one in the room with you.

It depends on the game, really. For example, Final Fantasy XI - I wouldn't want to play this on the PlayStation due to the fact that there is so many hotkeys, macros, and other things, besides, I wouldn't want to have to find a place to sit with a PlayStation Keyboard, mouse, and controller, if all that was needed to play it.

The computer has good games, and those good games can be great online, such as Diablo, WarCraft, but then again there is other games on the consules that are great, and simply great because they're good games and don't need to be online.

Overall, I would have to side with consules simply so I could relax on my bed with a simple controller instead of a clumpy and odd shaped keyboard and mouse, which needs a flatened surface to function properly, even with an optical.

By far consoles are better because they often run smoother and the games are easier to get used to. Plus online is fast moving and you won't get any PC lag just Internet connection lag.

For FPS games I usually use my computer since a controller doesn't work well for aiming but for all other genres of games I use my consoles. For every genre of game I have at least one top title. I always try to get the best title from the best genre on every console I own. So far no RPG for my gamecube though :(

no questions PC is the best.

PC gaming can be good, it just depends on the type of games. RPG games and online games are often better for the PC because they have a more powerful engine to run off of.

Sorry those last two posts were mine it just keeps logging me out for some reason.

That's a common PhpBb problem.

Ok, I like computer games. Why?

Because not only you pay around $350 for a console, but over that you pay around $25-$50 (not sure) for games. That sucks! So overall you need to pay more than $1000.

However, in computers you get faster loading games which are nicer! You mostly need to pay around $50-$100 for a game too, but think of the functionality you get when you have a computer...EASILY overtakes a console's functionality when it comes to what a computer can do.

Not_My_Style 04-22-2006 08:17 PM

Okay, but how about the actual cost of the computer. If you want one that runs good games w/ high quality graphics, you're looking at a price tag of around 2 grand.

awsjr 04-27-2006 08:21 PM

I prefer the console because if I buy a game I know for sure it is going to look the way it does in screenshots and that I meet all the system requirements.

etali 04-28-2006 01:03 PM

I must say, PC gaming forever! Better specs, better graphics, better sound, more options for controls, easier connectivity and flexibility. What more can you want?

John2 05-02-2006 09:56 AM

That depends on the kind of games but mostly I will like to play games on my PC, if all the games which are released in XBOX and PS2 are also released in PC which is just impossible then I will never think to buy a console. I just hate to play Shooting games on console... its too hard for me to point that guns point towards the enemy and in the mean time he may have finished me.. :oops:

I prefer computers too. Keyboard and mouse are more comfortable. But for some sports game, the console is great too.

bigg 05-24-2006 08:53 AM

i didnt vote because i like both.

Both console and pc have their pros and cons.

one big pros/con vice versa is:
you cant upgrade a console but you can with a pc

gregsworld 11-14-2009 12:48 AM

PC all the way, the if you have the latest pc it will always be quicker and have better looking graphics than a games console, plus you can attach the xbox controller to it so you dont need to use keyboard and mouse.

Dom. 11-14-2009 09:09 AM

Computer gaming is a lot better. I'm used to mouse/keyboard gaming more than a controller. Controllers have a lot more skill and stuff to them and because I use my PC often, I'm better at it. :p

I will vote for computer because you can find out many things there.
