PC Gamers: Refusal to buy consoles

[Gfunk4life]

Any person who claims to be a gamer and likes RPG is high on crack if they think PC's offer better titles RPG wise.

fallout >final f. or fable or most others

I refuse to play FPS games on Ps2 And Xbox becuase I am way faster with a keyboard and mouse then a controller. That and the games are smoother and play better especially in a real multiplayer invornment.

the KB/mouse has a lack of motion where on the other had the xbox controller is easy to controlle

And if your a fan of fighting games good luck with your PC. You'll probably never play Tekken or Soul Calibur. And it's truly a shame your missing out on all the great games you have missed out on becuase you think the console market has nothing to offer you.

by missing Tekken and soul calibur they are lucky. but like you said "if your a fan of fighting games" im not in to Fighting games.

my last console was nintendo 64 which rules btw, but I would much rather game on a pc than on an xbox or PS2, since I find that the pc is more efficient, and after you are dome playing you do other stuff on it

Unlike Most, I've found other uses for my PC. Getting it to render some game, and having it look as if there is some form of rendering problem, with great hardware; compared to a console with perfect specs is not my thing.

I sometimes don't see how people argue that a keyboard/mouse has better control than a console's native controller. It really doesn't make much sense.

Neowinians will be Neowinians... :huh:

[Gfunk4life]

i just real lies this, if you have a console you could just buy a console keybord and a PC gamer can buy a contoller/joystick.

who agree with me that PC and Console combo is better then just PC or Just console.

Because i prefer a mouse and keyboard over a gamepad.

I haven't owned a console since the original playstation debuted.  I'm NOT a console gamer, 90% of the best and most influential games ever have come out on computer.

Consoles are mainly for the people that dont want to bother with the technical knowhow of computers, they want something they can just drop in and play.

What he said. And about the fanboy part, yes I'm a complete PC fanboy, can't stand consoles.

Let's see... maybe because it was the PC Gamer and the PC that developed gaming and graphics to the level it is today? Gaming has always been pushing the envelopes of graphics and processor capability. Not to mention, upgrading a PC is as simple as replacing a part, whereas you have to chuck your old console when the next rotation comes around. It may be expensive, but you gotta pay to play (especially at 1600x1050 full AA and textures). Oh, and then there's the fact that I can alt-tab out of a game to handle surfing, chat, music... and there's also the fact that I can load whatever I want on my PC without some lame patch from M$ killing my mod (at least for now).

Just my $0.02

Didn't realize this is a psudo-hot topic.

I have a PS2 and a Gaming PC. I don't see either type dying. The whole thing about console's replacing a pc always comes up until pc's shoot past them and vice versus.

Each have there place. FPS play much better on the pc since you can upgrade the video and natively support keyboard / mouse compared to fps on consoles.

There are a lot of games that do better in console / controller format.

A true gamer will play the games they like on what ever system supports it and they will get newer pc or newer console to go where the games where.

The way I look at it, Star Ocean Till the End of Time sounds / looks great on my HDTV with dolby surrond sound and Doom 3 is awesom on the pc with head phone with the lights turned off.

i have a xbox and 6 comps i think tht the xbox and all consold are crap crap graphics ages loding ect and u allways have this battle agast consoles cos u cant upgrade them PCs have far betta graphics and gameplay and are so much faster PC is jus the best full stop

[Laughing Man]

That's not going be how it is soon. With the next-gen consoles. The XBOX360 will already rival most gaming PCs. And the PS3..well even more..

Revolution will be different. ^_^.

So what the PC will be good at then is multitasking. Actually the reason why I prefer playing games on the PC vs the consoles is for a couple reasons.

1) Modding. It's fun to mod and brings life into games I otherwise would've stopped playing a long time ago.

2) Multitasking ability

[Crimson Behelit]

I plan on buying a console and turning it into a computer.

I can't wait to get Linux on the X360 :omg:

[Glorious]

I own the PS2 and a PC. Thats all I've ever needed at this time. ;)

[Shadrack]

I've always been a PC Gamer fan, and have been so since after the Super Nintendo!

But these new consoles look like they are going to be really sweet. So I'll probably pick one up when they come out :D. Not sure which one. I think it will probably come down to which one has the game I want to play.

PC Gaming is too expensive. I'd rather invest in a nice HDTV and sound system for games, and use just a laptop.

I bet the next gen of gaming will come with keyboards and mice too.

[Tronix]

pc gaming is too expesive how?

[1759]

I'm more of a console gamer, the only games that I ever really dug on the PC were Half Life and the GTA series. Consoles are better for most games like racing , platformers and fighting types, IMO and I'm a big fan of the racing ones, especially Wipeout and Ridge Racer.

Maybe it would've been different had I grown up with a PC, rather than a NES.

Everyone has a different opinion on the matter

Some people just generally don't want a console

If they are a PC gamer too that doesn't mean they're some kind of fan boy who refuses to buy a console

It's not so complicated :alien:

ps. PS2 is crap :p

pps. I can't wait for the xbox 360 :D

A. Gamepads suck.

C. Console games are for 3 year olds.

D. My computer chair is comfortable.

Got an Xbox as a gift. Oh my god! It's obviously geared toward the young crowd with poor attention spans.

I went out and rented 5 of the top 10 games, just to see the best it had to offer.

Please! Can it get more simplistic? Graphics are HORRIBLE! On par with what the PC offered about 5 years ago, and I'm running it on a 53" HDTV!

The only game I moderatly enjoyed was Tiger Woods 2005. But it's so simplistic on the xbox, compared to the PC version. I was shocked on how bad the courses looked. It was nice, though, to play a round of golf without all the "sim" features.

So, I modded it into a media center. Processor is to slow do do what I want it to do though. Ebay time!

[|Rapture|]

Try Forza Motorsport before you give up on it for good.

[Defiantly]

I did! Very pretty game. but not really into driving games. Kinda mindless.

Besides, if I wanted to drive around in circles for two hours, I go talk to my wife. :)
