Console or PC?

[glenofimaal]

Would you rather have a console for gaming or a PC for gaming?

[Muffincat]

It really depends. There are certain kinds of games I would rather play on PC, and others I'd like to play on console. I guess for right now, I'd say console just because my current computer sucks for gaming, but ideally, I'd want both :P

[LiNuX]

6 years ago...console

Right now, PC. Since I build my own stuff, I can customize it to fit any game out or coming out in the next year or so and it's helpful. Cheaper in the long run too.

[thedeparted]

im a console major, with pc minor

[BocReaper]

I find myself slowly going more PC. If I could link an xbox controller to my PC I'd be all PC. I still do as much consoles as I do because I like the controller more for some games.

How To Use an Xbox 360 Controller on your PC (http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/pc/articles/11612.aspx)

This might help ;-)

[HamadaLFC8]

I like console way more since I don't always wanna buy the needed graphical updates and other stuff my PC needs to run the game :/
With a console you are assured that it will run smoothly and you won't have too much lag in the single player OR multiplayer as long as you have a decent internet.

I think the only advantage PC gamers have is that they can mod games and stuff like that but that ain't that important :P

[Iceskater101]

console definitely because
I have bad luck with computers
and a console like Hamada said the game is still going to run every time you play it
sometimes when I go and play the sims 2 or whatever the game freezes and thats annoying but hardly ever when I play my xbox 360 my xbox freezes in the middle of a game

I'm starting to go more for PC now too. It helps that I'm finding awesome people to play on PC with me as opposed to XBL.

[Melodic]

PC.. I Love Pc.. you can do lots of things with your pc other than gaming.. Gaming + others.. thats what i love it for.. Even though there are awesome console games that are not available in pc.. i dont mind..

[Nikarulz]

CONSOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! No doubt.

[Junky]

I'm that hardcore console fanboy, that watches porn on the PC.

:)

[theprincessfey]

So, I'm thinking that pretty soon there won't be much a difference between PCs and Consoles. (: YAY INTERBREEDING.

[Charlotte]

Both r awesomesaucess.

PC have way better graphic card than any consoles this day.

But console is awesome though.

[LiNuX]

So, I'm thinking that pretty soon there won't be much a difference between PCs and Consoles. (: YAY INTERBREEDING.

That would be awesome but it might render consoles useless since PC is much cheaper in the long run because you can do more and upgrades are cheaper than buying a brand new console when one comes out.

[ghegpatatas]

definitely PC..uhh..games are made with computers so probably PC.:)

[jango]

let's be honest .. consoles are practise machines (like a technical version of a toddler's tricycle) for eventual pc lovers .. there's no shame in it :p



p.s. please don't take that attempt at a joke to heart ppl, i'm in a cheeky mood :)

[Th3-devils-princess]

100% console I don't like gaming on a pc!!
The pc is for making sigs whoooii :p lol

[LemonRising]

I'm ... both. But I play more on the PC. Though I have a laptop so theres not all that nice "easy upgrading" for me lol. But my laptop is always with me
so whenever i get the gaming itch, it's like "open file hawhawhaw"
But I love contollers. only problem with consoles is.. I have to share ahaha, and the tv in my room is too old to use them on.

[ViciousGamer04]

PC offers a much more wide variety of games. On top of that, an every-day person can make games instead of a big corporation without too much up-front money. Whiiiich. Brings more creativity to the games which ultimately makes them a lot more fun. It's kind of ironic. The way I see it, it seems the less the cost of the game the better it seems to get.

[olly_thompson_63]

Consoles all the way, they are made for gaming. Unless you build your own gaming rig theres no way a PC can be as good as consoles.

[Sweet Chaos]

Currently I'm a console gamer (360 fangirl all the way) but I would love to get started on some more PC gaming.

[Sickangel]

heres my take on it.... if you own a decent PC and dont mind learning the keyboard and mouse you will enjoy more competitive and higher end gaming.... if you own a console you will encounter a large pool of casual gamers and wont experience the higher end graphics and sounds as you would if you were to dump some money into a computer machine.... my favorite console is the wii currently.... best console for parties as it is easy to learn and everyone can enjoy.. you can get your competitive online on a pc.... PC is a single player work horse.... designed to encompass you in its large worlds and unparalleled gaming.....

[Eric]

I like both personally. They both have their advantages

[moneill83]

I vote Console.

[psychochick]

pc only for me will always have the better gameplay and graphics :)

[Charlotte]

pc only for me will always have the better gameplay and graphics :)

Actually ya cause there is powerful graphic card and their is alienware but console also not that bad.

[psychochick]

ur right console isnt that bad i just cant use the damn controlers for anything other then guitar hero hahahaha im a WASD nerd ;P

[flared]

ehhh i've bought pretty much every console and i always end up selling it. PC ftw !

[Lylock]

PCs are the superior all round in terms of gaming. No doubt. If I had the choice between a high end gaming rig and the newest generation console, hands down the gaming rig. No one could deny that!

[Th3-devils-princess]

i dont like gaming on the pc it's just never apealed to me i dont see the adiction that others have :( sorry to all those 16 and more of you who are hard core pc gamers :) :)

[The_Known_Gamer]

it has to be pc as you can keep upgrading and
there are so many more games like world of warcraft diablo
and the list goes on plus if your good with a pc hacks are so easy
to do. even though my trusty ps3 serves me well and also the xbox which
i sold it lacks something.

[Dark War 1556]

i play a good amount of both PC and consle now that i got the xbox 360 and a gaming PC

[Lylock]

i dont like gaming on the pc it's just never apealed to me i dont see the adiction that others have :( sorry to all those 16 and more of you who are hard core pc gamers :) :)

How can it never appeal to you? Do games like Deus Ex, Heroes of Might & Magic III, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Age of Empires and undoubtably the fact that Oblivion Morrowind and Elderscrolls 5 are better on PC?

[Dark War 1556]

i have to agree with you there most games on a consle are better on a comp if youve got the right hardware

[Charlotte]

i have to agree with you there most games on a consle are better on a comp if youve got the right hardware
Ya, especially if you got the moneh to buy a new and update/latest hardware such as graphic card.

[Dark War 1556]

yep haha i got a gaming comp and an xbox 360 and i like to play both itsa bit hard to fit both in to the same day tho

[EpsilonX]

It depends on what i'm playing. I like playing sim games (like rollercoaster tycoon, or sim city or whatever) and RTS and MMO games on the PC, but anything else i prefer consoles.

Idk how i feel about shooters. Some, like System Shock 2 were sweet on pc, but I'd rather play on a console. I think keyboards are awkward for shooters (or action games in general)

[ROFLBRYCE]

I prefer consoles, just because it's what all of my irl friends play on. But I like the PC too. Not so much for shooters like CoD or CS or Shadowrun or anything, but for the MMOs. WoW, and others I used to play often are still why I love computer gaming so much.

[Mordry]

I think I can't make a final decision what is better.

With PC I can talk with friends and other gamers, can write messages fast and easy and can play some Games better.

But with Consol I can sit down, press Power and it works, I can play without any start-bugs or that crap. Maybe one or two updates but that's not the end of the world. Controller are very confortable, but it isn't bad with the PC (Mouse and that stuff) too.

I like both and I can't say, what is better. Some of my favorite PC-Producer are closed (Looking Glass Studios for example) and the rest of them are even today good or they are third-class game producer.

[W1CKEDTW1STED]

I like both equally.

[RecreationalGamer]

Would you rather have a console for gaming or a PC for gaming?

Console, specifically the Microsoft XBox 360.

This particular console has proven itself sufficient and competition-dominating within the last five-year span (btw, Xbox 360's fifth release-birthday is coming up Nov. 22 in the US, gather your friends and shot glasses and controllers).

I'm practically guaranteed a good experience every time I use the console, mainly when the games are made specifically for it.

PCs count on constant upgrading that can cost a large amount of money over a five-year span. The Xbox 360 has had its share of issues like the Red Circle of Death, but with a warranty and reliable consumer report, you're guaranteed another Xbox 360 within a week or two.

And that week, or those two weeks, is/are dreadful.

[Raoul]

Both PC and Console are really good, but I would choose pc since I can upgrade my PC and I can also do my work with it and enjoy the games and the PC game play and graphics for me its way better then the consoles.:yes:

[Gilgamesh]

Its all good and I'm not a fanboy of anything.... Gaming is gaming.... no matter what you play it on. If I had the $ I would rock a box360/PS3 on a flat 52 inch AND a crossfire 5850 rig on a samsung 30 inch. As it stands, I'm only about $3000 short. LOL As it is I PC game because its much more polished on my $600 PC and upgrades prevent me from buying a cosole. The problem is I miss out on games like RDR that look so effin tempting....

[Jayhmmz]

PC!
Always been a PC man with a side order of console (360). I appreciate the superior graphics too much to like a console more than a PC - you just can't control the AA, AF, etc. on a console!

However, as some of you may know. The Xbox is a pretty damn powerful thing for a console - it has the potential to be easily as good as, or better, than the average PC. The problem is, correct me if I am wrong - I think the Xbox 360 has about 3 processing units (?) and they are all set to their own duties. If, like a PC, the Xbox was able to distribute the processing power in a more beneficial way, the next installment of the Xbox could easily threaten PC gaming in general! Even though, it's already predicted that consoles will teabag PCs in the near future.

I don't like it :( Although it would save the hassle of upgrading components! Just give me a proper mouse and keyboard for the console and I would be happy.

Excellent post! :D

I take it you prefer the xbox 360 to the ps3, is this supposition correct?

[Gilgamesh]

" it's already predicted that consoles will teabag PCs in the near future."

I hear this alot and am hopefull when I look at next years PC games line up. Portal 2, DNF, Torchlite 2, Elder scrolls 5, Crysis 2, Diablo 3....etc.

[Jayhmmz]

Crysis 2... will... be... EPIC!

[TinyGlassKnives]

I like both, but if it comes to a life or death decision, its L4D :P

[xtinarulezd00d]

I prefer console because I don't have th right kind of computer to play pc games, i hate the lag, it's very annoying.
and with consoles, you don't get that! unless it's just a bad game, or a bad internet connection. haha

[triphead]

if some one said to me you can have either and they would cos the same id go pc any day for something like a alienware but as the price difference is so huge between them i think ill stick with my pc for some oldies and console for newer games :D pc rules for FPS though

[Jayhmmz]

Alienware are so overrated these days, they used to be so much better. You can get custom builds for much cheaper, and they take a crap on Alienware PCs :)

However... Alienware do have some of the best looking Towers!

[paecmaker]

If I had a true gaming rig then I would pick pc but with the rig I got now I have to choose a console.

[Yasdnil]

Depends on the game. Most of my games are 360 games, so console I guess would be the ultimate favourite

[Flab-Ender]

Prolly console, don't have many good PC games.

[Jayhmmz]

I am disappoint at how much the PC is lacking in votes compared to the console! >:[

[paecmaker]

If you buy me a UBER, ultra mega gaming rig you can see one more on the pc side:p

[BobTD]

I find myself slowly going more PC. If I could link an xbox controller to my PC I'd be all PC. I still do as much consoles as I do because I like the controller more for some games.

Amazon.com: Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver Black: Electronics (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Black/dp/B0032A0RBC/ref=sr_1_9?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1299891602&sr=1-9)
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31sDKJWC4eL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

I have it, it works. Its why if I have a choice I buy everything for the PC now.

[Exentenzed]

Just got a new PC, Picked it up 2 hours ago so, PC. :)

[Fmdunlap]

PC, PC, PC, PC, PC. I Build my own rigs, I know every part in them and I can fix the thing if something goes wrong. More over, as soon as games get more demanding I throw a bit of hardware at it and I immediately get better performance. Not to mention the killer detail that devs throw in specifically for the PC version of many games.

[Havoc]

Hehe... of course PC. I like to being able to smoothly go over from playing to working and back.
And there are certain games that are simply destined to be played on PCs with a mouse and keyboard, like virtually ANY strategy game and ANY FPS.
Strategy requires a few dozens of hotkeys and FPS... really.. you can't aim for shyt with a tiny stick.

Plus what would games be without modding?

And if I wanna play a Wii game or a PS2 game I just use an emulator, and ironically, thanks to enforced texture filtering and anti-aliasing those game look much better than on the original consoles xD. Or NDS game... really you can play on a screen-size that won't kill your eyes :3

Of course there are things that put you off, like very poor console ports for PC, or the pain of playing a hack and slash with the keyboard. But for that I have my trusty Xbox360 controller for windows :3

[MrFr3drik]

With a new PC I can be happy! ^^

[Saph]

I deffinately preffer PC over console just cause it can do a whole lot more than a console.

A console I use exclusively for gaming, and when I'm not gaming it just sits there unused.

A PC is better to me cause even when you're not gaming, it is still a very useful tool in the daily life, matter of fact my computer is my work and my hobby.

I also feel a PC is more comfortable, and that consoles seem awkward and somewhat lacking in comfort, I guess I just like the keyboard/mouse control style.

[Jayhmmz]

This is why I like my gaming PC more than my X360. However, I don't find the controllers awkward as such, for I don't mind the pad for sports games and the like. But First Person Shooters will always be at home on the PC for me, until the next gen consoles come out with mouse and keyboard capabilities :P

When this happens, I predict a significant drop in gaming PC & peripheral sales

[GamingWeston]

I'd say PC! And if you ask me why... I don't know. It reminds me of my childhood and I remember, sitting in front of my sh*tty PC and playing some ridiculously lame game felt so awesome that nothing can take me back to it, neither the top graphics and action and everything. I guess some of you know what it feels like.

[dannygm11]

Some games are best on xbox but some are amazing on PC. If i had to choose then xbox 360 it is :)

[Psychotray]

PC for sure, everything you can do on a console can be done on a PC better.

[Yoe]

6 years ago...console

Right now, PC. Since I build my own stuff, I can customize it to fit any game out or coming out in the next year or so and it's helpful. Cheaper in the long run too.

I'm the exact same. That and i just love using keyboard and mouse

[BitterKingSkyler]

PC, They're alot of things I like about both but IMO PC is superior, at least for now. I like the mods that come with PC gaming as opposed to playing on a console. I also enjoy playing many MMORPGS which isn't possible on a console at the moment. So basically I enjoy PC gaming because it isn't limited.

[wolfz18]

You can't mod any games on consoles. On PC you can do more stuff. And there are only games for PC like GMod.

[Koudelka]

In regards to games, console stuff is definitely better. That's just an opinion though. If someone else likes PC games better, there's nothing wrong with that.

[MissLEGENDARY]

Well I have always been a major console gamer...from Sega to Nintendo to PlayStation and right on to Xbox...but recently I've been playing a lot of World Of Warcraft...so I'd say I'm well rounded,but due to my lack of experience with PC...I'd have to say I'm a 360 girl with mutual respect for all gamers regardless of preference.

[mutilations]

Consoles are what I grew up with and consoles are what I'm sticking with. PC gamers tend to have more of a "holier-than-thou" attitude which really throws me off to PC-gaming. No offense to anyone here, just what I've grown up seeing.

[NumberedEyes]

we live in a world of excess cant i have both...

i spend more time on my consoles then the pc im not much of an online gamer which seems to be where the pc shines, if i play multiplayer i want the people in the room with me make it into a more social thing i guess im a bit set in my ways but ah well we are what we are :)

[Triton]

I prefer to game on consoles and use the computer for other things, my wife tends to use the computer more than me so we are both happy the way things are.

[ShankCrisis]

I think that its my general incompetence on the PC which really holds me back.

Every time I try to buy a PC game its always so confusing to know whether it will be compatible with my computer.

With some games (especially FPS'), I have a hard time using the keyboard and mouse in the place of a console controller.

[rensonjohn21]

for me i like pc gaming but the only problem is pc upgrades... i only like ps3 on console

[SoopaZombie]

I have to choice Console, although i have nothing against PC as i have and do play PC games......just something about a controller i dunno maybe its just a nostalgic thing lol

[skull43]

PC, graphics..

[cronik]

I like both, but I reallly love my xbox 360

[Jessika]

I like PC because you can do almost anything with it and easy to upgrade.

[GrandMaster]

I normally use Console's accept for things like Minecraft. I have a PS3 and 360 so I don't use the PC for gaming often.

[Tails]

I LOVE PC cuz u have no real restirctions like u do on the consoles

[isaac_ninja]

I prefer pc for gaming. This is a lot cheaper and can also be upgraded to improve its specs to eliminate lags during gaming.

[markkavin]

I vote Pc and mostly i like racing games. Need for Speed Underground 2, Street Legal Racing: Redline and Ridge Racer Unbounded video games too awesome. These are my best Pc games .........

Dude, make it stop. That signature just makes me want to keep staring at it... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


Would you rather have a console for gaming or a PC for gaming?

PC all the way for me. I can customize the hardware, have better graphics, and a lot of other cool things. Of course certain games like fighting games or racing games I would rather play on a console, but I don't really like those genres.

[kyojinalex]

I have always loved gaming on both PC and consoles. But most of my gaming time is on my PC playing games there, so it comes out on top. There is just more variety on PC.

[JayPearson4]

console, no competition. One off payment, no need to upgrade ram and graphics cards

[MichaelB]

I used to be a console gamer, but this year I went away from consoles and would consider myself a PC gamer now. I got my custom built PC, and am able to run games at full blast, so it's great.

[chararii]

I'd actually go for both. Consoles because holding a controller in your hands makes it feel so much more awesome than a mouse and a keyboard.
Why I would always chose a pc though is simple: Mods. If there were a way to mod console games I'd totally throw my computer away.

[SanctumGamingNetwork]

PC by far, you have so much more control of anything you want on the PC
