I play mostly PC games now (currently UT2004, Mafia, various DOS games via D-Fend, and NFS: Most Wanted), but there are many console games from my childhood (Final Fantasy III [sNES], Bionic Commando [NES], and TMNT4 [sNES] are just some examples) that I still play with my equally aging friends of mine.

So I voted Both because both PC games and console games bring something different to the table that satisfies me.

I like PC gaming more, for FPS' there's nothing like a mouse and keyboard. I've owned a 64, PSone and PS2 but all sold them within a couple of months of owning them. I just love it how on the PC you can customize it so much, mods, addon packs, hi res addons (like that HL2 mod) etc... etc...

Plus, it's more fun building your own system anyway and much more rewarding for all those hard earned dollars!

:devil: PC :devil:

1. Unlike consoles, the PC platform and PC games won't go obsolete in the foreseeable future.

2. A PC can do everything a console can, plus a lot more.

3. PC games have the ability to look better than their console versions.

4. Many PC games can be modded.

5. Mouse and keyboard is the superior control mechanism in many cases...

6. ...and you CAN also use a gamepad with your PC. I'm using an Xbox gamepad with a USB-adapter. Works great.

7. Building and modding a PC can be a fun hobby.

I prefer consoles, because they are faster than computers. With computers you have to worry about viruses, and processor speeds, and overheating, overclocking, etc.. with a console, plug it in, and play.

However, PC do have there advantage, you can play more games on PCs than any other console.

    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
