I know what your thinking console sucks. I have a gaming pc now but i want to upgrade. The only reason I want a console is for Forza Horizon 2 and they don't have that game on PC. Do you think that I should find a gaming like Forza Horizon 2 for PC. I dislike console, I like PC more. Im just confused what are your inputs? 

 

 

PS. Ill probably get hate for even talking about console on a PC forum.

I don't specifically know what that game is about, but there are plenty of good racing games that are controller compatible on PC. Just getting a console to play ONE game is honistly a waste of money, even though the game may be really good.

Yes, It is a waste of money, And its not even the controller because I have a racing wheel for pc. I just like the forza concept of tuning and customization.

I think its not worth to buy a console just to play one game that you like. There are plenty of other very good racing games on PC...i just dont know what they are  :P

I played a little bit of Formula 1 and enjoyed it although it's a pretty realistic racing game in terms of pit stops etc.

Look at it from this angle:

You might be missing out on ONE game on a system you don't like,

but you'll be able to play MANY games on a system you like.

Not to mention, the money you'll save, not only on the system, but on all the games, too.

Consoles are nice, if you don't want any hassle with Setup, Drivers, Installation, etc - but all that comes with a cost, meaning less graphical fidelity, higher prices for games and no chance for future upgrades. Some people are ok with those trade-offs, but you already stated your dislike for it, so I would say you're not ok with them, hence: Don't buy it.
