No.

he's right you know, my gaming PC from 2011 cost me -ú860, it will do just fine at running Watch Dogs.
I've probably spent a couple thousand in that time on console games. That's mainly old school collecting but still,
PCs are cheaper, if you pirate? Is that the message we're giving here?

No. You buy a PC to always play games in stunning high quality at 60 frames per second in 1080p resolution,
I barely play my PS3 now, as soon as I saw the glory of PC I didn't want to go back, I would clean my shiny PC
whilst the peasant that is the console gathered dust. Until ironically DUST came along and then I played it quite a bit.

TL;DR, PCs are glorious, I use a DS3 controller, wirelessly if I choose, and games are 1000x times better than on console,
consoles have exclusives, that's about it!

I come home from work. I get changed. Put my dinner on. I turn on my Playstation & sit on my sofa.

That's why I don't want to buy a f*cking PC.

Now can you all stop using this as an excuse not to be upset about what CCP did?

I find it funny that you would so openly say "PC has a huge advantage because you can pirate the games easier!" That is like saying "the neighbor to the right has a better car than the neighbor to the left because he keeps the keys in the ignition so I can drive without having to hotwire it."

A console and a PC are just platforms. It is the game company's that will screw you as fast and as hard as they can regardless of what platform that is. No matter the platforms, new games run the same price; about 60 dollar US. That isn't magically different just because it is a PC game or a console game. My family has always been a bunch of nerds so we have stayed in computers and console stuff for a long time. Having played with both all my life, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Plug in and play versus pure might and versatility.

It is nice being able to plug in my PS2 and play some Kingdom Hearts in about 5 minutes between pulling it out of the closet, setting it up, and turning it on. It is also nice being able to have things like EVE.

Hec's totally serious input on this:
If people could just stop being so goddamn poor and just buy a PS4 and a bleeding edge PC and all the hyped games I would be a happy man.

You didn't even read it, don't be so early 90's. I do the same thing.

Next can we go to a maternity ward to talk people into having kids?

Or let's all go to a mental hospital to sell people on the idea of ***** as face paint.

Some people just don't like PC gaming. I've played tons of PC games throughout my illustrious gaming career. I'm playing though Shadowrun Returns right now. I just prefer console gaming.

The length of your post itself undermines that argument.

So basically you're saying that stealing games is cheaper than buying them?

At least I have my pride!

No, pirate bay did that for you. They had a whole database.

The top guy was a dude operating from a shack in Vietnam or something lol.

It was as simple as googling pirate bay lol.

Specialized consoles are far faster than "Jack of all trades" Computers. As processing speeds increase and specialized functions start becoming more potent than generic functions, I would not be surprised to see consoles excel in almost every field.

Currently the only benefit a PC has is it's Graphics card. Which is made for images on a flat monitor... So, what is going to happen in the future when 3D systems start cropping up? Computer graphics processors WILL hit a divide, with one set being faster at flat screen presentation, and another being faster at dual perspective presentation... etc etc... Same thing is happening with input methods. Currently the PC has the most precise input methods because of the mouse, but consoles are starting to gain gesture recognition. Pointing at the screen may become faster in the long run for adjustments than ol' clicky over there.

That's 2 regions that development is diverging. Where will a PC stand at the end of this? One of the largest selling points for computers, that keeps the desktop variant prices low, are businesses! If businesses keep the flat screens as a "Professional" look, but home systems start to verge with 3-D venues, you can bet that the Price of home computers may rise, but consoles may stay at about the same ratio, because they have to custom order their components anyway.


Even now, you can begin to see the difference between specialized performance and "Jack of All" but only at startup. For example, I have a game on a console, and I have a game on the PC. I turn both systems on at the same time, a few seconds later I've got my game for the Console, but the PC is still loading all the background hurdles... Then, about a minute later, the game starts up.

You don't know about pirate bay? The site that pirated stuff for you so you didn't have to?, removing liability from yourself?.

Newb gtfo.

OP: Why do you assume that money (or lack of) is the reason other people prefer to play on a console?
