So I decided to start this thread after my recent experiences with gaming on the PC.
First lemme start of by saying that I don't really have a high end gaming computer and I have never personally owned a Console. I have only played the NFS series, RoadRash, the FiFa and Football Manager Series as well as the COD ones. I have never needed a high end computer for any of those games. However, recently I decided to pick up Skyrim, BF3 and MW3. All these games requires a decent gaming computer to truly have a smooth gaming experience.
On my current computer Skyrim is virtually unplayable. It is so choppy and is very slow. I personally feel it is much cheaper to invest in a gaming console rather than putting together a gaming computer. The initial cost could well be over $1000 when compared to an Xbox which is around $299. And with new products coming out for the PC it is like you have to replace something every 6 months to stay with the newer games coming out. I've finally decided to quit gaming on the PC and make that move to Consoles.
These are my reasons why I feel Console gaming is better than PC gaming.
1. Don't need to spend $3,000 on a PC to play console port games when the games were design in console in mind.
2. Don't need to worry about system requirements, finding/downlaoding drivers, updates and bios updates from websites.
3. Console will last 5-8 years without needing to upgrade like PC where you need to upgrade every 3-6 months to keep up with games
4. Lots of great exclusives games that will never be on PC...never.
5. Don't need to worry about bugs, glitches, game breaking issues or missing content that can be found on PC games
6. Able to sit back on the couch or sit anywhere with wireless controllers and able to play split screen with family/friends.
7. Don't need to worry about playing an online game with aimbotters/speed hackers or cheaters in general.
8. Developers will support console better than the PC leaving game breaking bugs unsolved or unsolved performance issue on PC
9. Motion controls that will never be or happen on PC
10. Able to rent games on gamefly if money is tight that you can never do on PC
11. Never need to worry about your electric bill being high due to playing on the PC
12. Console platform is the best choice as it was design for gaming
Do you'll think console gaming is better and that PC gaming is dying? I mean besides MMOs games are just that much better on consoles and I don't care about MMOs at all.
