Do you prefer PC or Console gaming and why?

Question

?

I prefer PC. Building your own machine that can handle all your favorite games is exciting. Just a bit costly, but I think that's the only downside. Computers have a great variety in games, better graphics if built right, and I think keyboard and mouse is way better then game controller.

Answer 1

The only time that I prefer a PC is when I get an itch to play a good FPS (and that doesn't happen very often).

Otherwise, the PC doesn't have any games that I'm interested in. I hate MMORPGs, I'm not a huge FPS fan, and I don't really have the free time to play strategy games like Civ IV (even though I love them). Plus, I don't have to worry about whether a game will run well on my console. If it's made for the console, it works.

Answer 2

PC. I initially liked controllers better, but I'm gonna go ahead and use Gears of War as an example now since I'm hooked on it. The controller does seem kinda confining, I like the keyboard mouse for that game now, maybe I'm switching over. Building your own PC is way fun too, and my computer handles Gears of War better than the Xbox 360! =D

Also, Console has no RTS's and that's one of my fav types. I do enjoy some good RPG's on the console though, like Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia, Paper Mario, and some old school SNES ones.

Answer 3

I prefer the games that come out for PC. More massively multiplayer RPG style games. I enjoy console because you can sit back on the couch or move around the room and still play.

Answer 4

Well, I prefer consol, for Wii games and Game Cube, but for MMORPG`s I like PC

Answer 5

I play sims PC. Much easier (:

Answer 6

I prefer PC, because I enjoy games.  No serious gamer would be console only.

Answer 7

console because pc has problems installing games sometimes

Answer 8

PC rocks! Besides, PCs are upgradable, which makes it possible to play games with technical specifications simply not possible on consoles. (Crysis, anyone?)

Answer 9

Coming from a guy that has built many PC's just for gaming over the years, I am D-O-N-E with computers for gaming. The machine I just built was a quad core, with a 8800gt, and 8 gigs of ram. I just came to a realization: The money on just that machine alone was worth BOTH a 360 and a PS3 fully loaded and about 3 games a piece. That does not include the machine I built before just ONE year prior, that was rendered obsolete in June of this year. Price is one thing, but come on. I spent about $750.00 on the previous build that was rendered obsolete. That is not a good turn around on investment. I built this one on a whim, but i am selling it at cost because I am completely BORED with what games are on PC now. So I will be getting a Wii and a PS3 within the next few weeks. Also, I see a disturbing trend with games manufacturers pulling away from the PC world. Madden 09 is just one example (and just the tip of the iceberg) of developers shying away from the p****y laden PC gaming world.

Answer 10

i find the pc a bit nerdy with games there is not a lot of choice i prefer the ps3. HD quality with a massive selection of games and the controller has no wires and is easier to use then a keyboard and mouse

Answer 13

Yeah PC is better much better!

Answer 14

I agree, I like PC games alot more (Although I haven't played them in 4 years :(  Diablo II and Command and Conquer Series were my favorite.

Answer 15

I prefer console.

It is much simpler then PC gaming.

And I don't like playing with keyboards and mouse.

Consoles are also cheaper.

I also enjoy playing GTA IV on my PS3.
