PC MASTER RACE

But seriously, PC is far more superior than a console. I started gaming with the nintendo cube, than got my first Xbox console, than I got the Xbox 360, than the Slim, and so forth. But console where not cutting it, It felt like games that I wanted to play, where just cut ups and hand me down games from PC games. There graphics where butchered, and controls missing, and, I felt like it was ALOT cheaper than having to pay $10 a month just to connect with my friends, than have to pay $60 for a game just to play it with them. With PC, the games are relatively cheaper, I purchased FULL game, more advanced, better graphics, 10x more fun than any Xbox game for ONLY $30. Guess what!? If I wanna play with my friends, ITS FREE OMG. I also feel like theres a better range of more interactive, fun games for PC than console. (Ex: DayZ, ArmA, etc)

I purchased my first gaming computer early November for $1600, and it well worth it! I have 10 games that have not cost me more than $100, why? Because of the amazing sales.

PC is literally THE MASTER RACE. You pay one hefty chunk for you computer, but it will hold up for years to come, and everything is amazing, cheap, and every game company is making there games FOR COMPUTERS.

I for one, will NEVER be going back to console gaming, to expensive for a crappy gaming experience.

I think comments like this summarise what the OP is getting at quite nicely.

I have played PC and some of the most fun I've had has been on a console. Why do some PC gamers assume that graphics and controls are the be all and end all for a gaming experience. Pathetic really.

What is left if you take away graphics and controls?

There is a lot more advantages than just graphics and controls.
The entire experience is better considering you are limited to only 65 FPS on console making the overall experience rubbish..

The only argument for console is that it is most mainstream so your buddies at school will probably have a console and not a PC.

• Customizability.
  
• Video setting options.
  
• No FPS locks.
  
• No FOV locks.
  
• Price to performance ratio is better.
  
• Overall smoothness

Should I go on?

pc has a lot more games better games and so many mods... i play pc games and ive never even tried LoL or WoW i do play mc tho but i wouldnt consider my self "better" just because i have a different opinion than you... that just makes no sense... you have your opinion i have mine. just like console wars does it matter? no so why fight?

I should have quoted him

Isn't that the core of a videogame?

Everything I just listed, lol.

Right but from a console point of view. Those are all things that are on the PC.

Let me go ahead and show you a image, on why graphics are such a big deal on a gaming experience



Who wants to play with that kind of experience? With the more detail, you feel more alive, actually in the game, not in some barren wasteland?

Control wise, there nothing really i can say, other than on a xbox controller you are limited buttons, and that can screw with the games, and that puts a strain on the developers and makes them often have to take things out of the game (if the game was made originally for PC, and they are converting it to a Xbox game). While on PC, you have SO MANY keys, and options its unreal.

Here, have a look on at this image. This is the new DayZ Standalone game besed on a zombie Apocalypse, I took this image from my computer. Please open them in a new tab and look at the true 1920x1080 scale, and look how beautiful it looks.



What Xbox or console game looks that good, and looks that realistic? None.

What you just said doesn't make sense.

What you just said is basically that console players ignore the facts to justify playing on a mediocre gaming system.
