lada versus bugatti

 

in pc you have better performances, more versatility, etc. If you want to play on pc like on a console, you can get a couch into your room, plug a controler to your pc, and hang a gigantosaur 120 or 240 hz tv and fully utilize it the the max of it's refresh rate depending of your setup.

 

no console can match that, and even when they do, pc will be far ahead as usual. it's in the targetted audience, console is cheaper for the average dude who wants to casually play videogames. PC can be cheap too, in fact, it can be console priced and still beat any console out there, but with pc you have the freedom of determining how much you will pay and for what you will pay.

Both of them have unique features.

Consoles are cheap and you kinda just plug it and play.

 

PCs are not that cheap, but in terms of performance it will dominate over consoles.

I don't know why is there always war about PCs vs consoles ... can't we all just appreciate fellow gamers?

PC gaming is superior.

Not long ago some game was released that can be only played on console.

So, can you play that game on PC? No you can't.

Your PC draws more power from the wall and release more heat than console.

Decent gaming PC will cost more than console.

Consoles takes less space, while PC cases are much bigger.

 

So I have to say that your argument is invalid. PC gaming isn't superior. It's better in some ways, but you can't say that PCs are better than consoles in every single way.

 

Don't get me wrong, I know that PCs can run games at 4K 100fps+, while consoles can only handle 30fps -ish.

But how much do you pay for 4K gaming PC?

 

Stop spreading bs, and just enjoy gaming on whatever platform you want to play.

 

I just can't stand those kids fighting about consoles vs PCs. Get what you like and don't be a jerk.

Your point is valid, and so is mine but my friend is totally oblivious and I needed to show him some things, ok? I get it your a console person, i just asked for links.

Not at all. I never had console in my life, and I never will.

It's because I like to play MMORPG games, and I like to build my own PC, not just buy something and plug it into the wall.

I'm just saying that consoles have some good features that PCs don't have.

 

But if you want to compare gaming experience and overall system power, then yes PCs are better at that.

Neither are better than the other.  
Both have their pros and cons.

 

PCs you have a lot more control over.  They're fun to build, they'll almost always kick a console's ass, and you can potentially build them cheaper and better (especially if you buy used).

Consoles just work.  Yes, there's drivers and for the most part the games just work on PC... but not always (remember the Arkham Knight debacle).  They are just plug and play and are great for those who just want to pop in a disk and play (partially, you have to install them now).  Also, certain exclusives.  I love Halo and Uncharted, can only get those on consoles.

 

 

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

What the hell kind of argument is this?

Each setup has their own exclusives. 

 

You care about how much power your accessories draw? I guarantee your 60" TV + console draws about the same amount of power as a computer with a monitor. 

 

Over the life of the console/PC, a PC will be about the same price as a console. How much does xbox live membership cost... every year? How much do those games cost? How much do your controllers cost? How much does it cost when your console breaks? If we're using a PC to replicate graphics available on a console, a PC will easily last 2 console generations, as the console is generally a generation behind in terms of graphics. Not to mention that same computer could be upgraded FOR VERY CHEAP to last even longer.

 

Your arguments are awful. Try again.

 

I think consoles are good... for children or stupid people who are afraid to build their own PC. They just work, period. They may have graphics from yesteryear, but generally you can just turn them on and play. And that's all that matters to some people.

 

There are no arguments for controllers because PCs can use every modern controller available to consoles (+ keyboard and mouse).

Dude relax. I didn't say that consoles are best and PCs are bad.

I simply said that he can't just say that PCs are best.

Each of those have good and bad qualities.

 

60" TV + xbox will draw same power as PC with 4x Titan X P? Yeah I didn't think so.

 

And yes I forgot the name of that game.

Oh please oh please show me the typical person who has 4x Titan X, or rather ANYBODY who is running 4x graphics card now-a-day?

 

Do the math, it works out how I said it.

 

Consoles have ONE good quality, and that is that they are plug and play. That is it. They are the idiots gaming PC.

Consoles are only good if you want to save yourself the work of building/installing/downloading/configuring all the necessary soft/hardware for a gaming PC. but honestly, thats where the fun is in it.

 

Personally I think the entire console/PC war is stupid. To each their own, no matter how stupid their decision may be.

More control, better overall performance, cheaper in the long run (you only have to pay for an internet connection, not an internet connection AND a fucking pointless subscription that is entirely unnecessary (it's meant to do nothing but cost you money and make them money).

 

Wider selection of games, you can do more with a PC than you can with any and all consoles. Don't forget that your gaming PC will last longer than a console, and the upgrades are usually cheaper. Yes the initial startup is more costly, but in the long run it's a better deal considering that a decent CPU could potentially last you 10 years. The GPU will need to be upgraded sooner, if you want to remain at the cutting edge.

 

Oh, and PC game sales have outpaced all console game sales combined, since 2014.

 

With PC, you get out, what you put in. With Console, you get whatever shit performance they decide to give you. Considering that Sony and MS have both stated that they habe plans to make all or most of their games available on PC, there's really no reason to buy a console.

 

Consoles are for the ill informed, or the lazy. They are in no way cutting edge, or superior

 

Edit: Don't forget game modding.

Edit the second: You can't run three monitors of porn off of a console.

Edit the third: You don't have to deal with gamestop and their shit practices, you have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more room for games than console ever will (because you can expand your storage), etc.

Generally not the kind of discussions we want to

promote. While there might be a productive

discussion to be had about the qualities and

differences between consoles and pc's, this 

thread is not one of them.
