PC Vs Console

[Guest Lady Luck]

not only pc is great for gaming in general its also great for doing work so less complaint there , if you dislike your game you can uninstall get rid completely and never see it again , if digital.

 

its funny everytime console fanboy saying " can this mod install on my sexbox " i'm like " no don't you read the rules no comprendo for Microsoft product ever!" ... if you talking about Nintendo now that what other console should learn mod feature is coming on Nintendo very soon using usb transfer method.

 

even funny on ps3 counterpart you can't mod any game except unreal tournament that has usb transfer on skins but not really effective the file is not static every time update came bye2 mod see u later.

 

say we got mod for xbox 360 and ps3 , if we got mod the mods will only allow kilobytes sized that's not even a mod more like messing around , a real mod would be like 42mb -1gb , even if the company manage trade ideas how well the console handle 400-1200 vertices loaded on 3ds max and blender did they really see that , that would give xbox red ring of death and ps3 yellow of death , think about that this is why console didn't have that ability it's so restricted because the graphic setting on Ultra X1[1080p] on ps3 because its blue ray on xbox its on 360p equivalent to maximum resolution imagine if we twist all the model in high quality texture if we does hard coding transfer that will lagged the game like hell especially on ps3 you will hear noises and other shit u don't want to deal with this is why console doesn't allow any mods.

 

as for wii-u see they are smart they use medium setting graphic but sub par to high resolution making it modifiable because u don't need that much vertices to feel the HD shader its already built on the console with the controller going on it's very likely we gonna see that.

If even console had possibility to mod games they would have only few. Because, to create mod to most recent games - you need at last decent PC, and know-how. So in basic you have to be PC user, and you have to love it

u see being a pc gamer isn't just about gaming , you need to learn how to use os too its not just like walk in the park with pcs, u need to learn overclock don't meet requirement u need millions of article about how to overclock without burning your power supply or gpu, oh yes i been there prime 95 damn you!.

[Nikiea]

I'm lucky enough to own both so I just switch between them depending on what game I want to play.

[Guest Lady Luck]

same i owned like ps3, xbox 360, wii and wii - u , and other classic console of all those games at the end i always go for pc idk it's like 1-100 things you can do in it  , don't feel like playing games make websites,  write blogs it's best thing that man ever invent but console " not entirely dynamic" lmao if you catch my drift.

[DeadSomething]

to me its still clear that there are certain games that can only be played on one platform and only stupid people play it on the wrong platform and start arguing why their platform is the best platform for every game without exceptions:

 

Console:

racing games/driving games

(extreme-)sports games

jump&run

Resident Evil 1-3 (and all games that are of that kind)

 

Computer:

racing games/driving games (if you got a steeringwheel and pedals)

(extreme-)sports games (if you got a controller for your PC)

jump&run (if you got a controller for your PC)

first/third-person-shooters

realtime-strategy

Flight-Simulators

(top-down view) RPGs

 

as i am more interested in the games in the latter list, i dont own a console, but a PC which also lets me do so many things that a console will only be able to, if it accepts a keyboard and mouse and is free in every way to accept any data i put into it via USB/DVD/internet - actually i already got such aconsole: my PC.

- Make servers for game
- Modding your operating System " change UI interface "
- Able To set security Firewall to certain Games so hackers can't
Hack Your account E.g Zone Alarm etc
- Port Forwarding to increase bandwith sharing to other players
so ping dont get too crazy Port forwarding doesnt have any bandwidth speed influence it's only used to let applications and games through hardware and software firewalls.
- Create your own game " Mugen , Game Creator " "and so on, if u know c, c# and c++ programming languages, u can use freeware graphics engines like ogre to make next gen games as well so its not limited to 2d"
- Download Free Movies illegally yes.


Gaming activity

- Modding games
- Script your own cheats
- Large Scale Battle Able to support 100-129 Players a lot more than that actually
{ Noteable mentioned Planet Side II }
- Patch to support Real Fix to Get rid of Bugs/Glitch
- More Matured Rating game aka " AO rating "
- Superior Graphics {ENB mods, and generally if a game is developed for pc from scratch}

-full conversions of games like skyrim into a completely new game

-community patch fixes (unofficial patches)

-superior controls in almost every game

-gamepad support

-want me to go on?

Cons

- Requirement Needed For Graphics in Newer games my pc is 4 years old has a dual core processor and still runs new games on max and in hd on 50-60 fps stable
- Needing update every month nope as ive said above (i assume u refered to hardware)
- Lack of fighting games because consoles are better for fighting and driving games, however pc is better at every other aspect unfortunately crappy ports usually ruin the games
- Lack of security Protection { Threat from hackers} what are u using? 10 years old firewall? if u have a good firewall and have ur router's hardware firewall enabled no hacker can get through
- Blue Screen of death { The most Scary Error of all time that Shut down your computer completely if you lucky it reboot your computer 32 bit suffer of safety}
- Black Screen of death { GPU failure you cant do anything about that , if you think macintosh doesnt have failure ah u way wrong frendo}
- Freezes will happend on random occasion if services are busy only if a lot of applications are running at the same time or if an application has a higher priority than the os's system softwares.
- Hang will happen if you play intensive games or use intensive
Application as said above and only if ur pc is crappy


Console { Wii-u , PS3 and Xbox 360 }

Pros [ Generic and major ]

- Awosome Dashboard
- Easily Organized your games on your hardrive you can do that on pc too for example i have my own games directory and in alphabetic order.
- DLC support always come to console First only if they have a short term exclusitivity contract with said console
- Exclusivity games that pc didn't have true but pcs have games that are far superior due to the limited hardware on consoles
- MSAA X64/AA X12 Support for newer firmwares really? i thought these had to be supported by the hardware first, still doesnt change the fact that older games wont use it most likely
- Bad ass Accessories " Remember Steel Battalion 40 button "
- Tons and tons of awosome Fighting game
- Free online game PS3 and wii -u only pc has about 1000 more free online games enjoy ur single free online game for ur console
- You don't need Requirement to run newer Games only hardrive
to install the disc. that's my friend is because when they develop the console version, theyre limited by the obsolete hardware, and so they have to develop it in a way for it to actually run, but if u take a look at a well done pc port, u can see that it is far superior in every aspect because pcs have far superior hardware to work with, so developers dont have to limit stuff like graphics and such, and if it's well done, and it runs crap on ur pc, u can lower the graphics to console level to make it run at 60 fps whereas consoles are limited to 30 fps.
- Kinect Gaming on Skyrim is just awosome! u can use kinect for skyrim on pc too theres even a tutorial google it

cons [ Generic and major ]

- Small Scale Multiplayer atm console only allow up to 20-50 players
- BAD BAD Lag FPS is always have the hate!
- playing fps on console is like er.. ok im going over mouse/keyboard
- Console Multiplayer hoster likes to ban you alot , if you got shot by random trolls on the online community when certain players didn't like you , potientally your hardware ID will suffer banning without a question its mandatory to avoid online gaming if you dont want to get ass kicked by trolls if you pro at certain game.
- Stupid support especially microsoft xbox support oh how i hate you bitches
- really Retarded DLC shop system if i purchased a game which has already dlc included inside of the disc i need to rebuy again with my credit card WHAT THE FUCK?!
- the game itself is expensive shit let alone 49.99$ DOLLARS yeah less then what pc has , if steam has sales its way cheaper then console its the truth.
- the hardware failures , no matter if you casual gamer on xbox or ps3 the machine will fail in one run no matter how short you play dust will always attract that damn thing and causes the hardware to break!
- Scratches how many of you guys suffers this i am good at taking care all my discs and it scratched way to kick my own ass for more $$$.
- Joystick analog broken if the analog is broken u cant do nothing just stay there and stare at it , what if you had no money to replace it you fucked
- someone had brilliant idea that all the newer games must run on hardrive which take forever to install WTF are you thinking?
- if the disc brake you had to return it or trade it on different game and that game brake you can only return once!
- Not all kinect game are awosome some of them just utterly retarded some of them broken and not playable ,and not felicia day you are wrong Kinect game sucks.

so in conclusion its up to you to judge the article this is my experinece.

 

 

There is no contest, pc is more superior in every field

even the new consoles will be crap in fact crysis developer said it himself that theyre considering not making the next crytek engine for console coz its hardware is already outdated on release, so enjoy ur next gen crappy consoles, while i enjoy my superior pc.

 

Also don't bring up games that were ported over from consoles in your arguement (this is for everyone posting in this thread), because most ports are crap and badly done(console graphics, console controls, loads of bugs that were due to porting and such).

 

1 more thing consoles will burn in the near future due to steam, coz steam already has mac- and they just released linux support, so console market will fail and soon. I mean come on, steam games on linux? That's a huge step forward especially since linux is free and a lot of ppl have linux but dont have windows.(although for now windows is still in the lead).

 

And dont listen to OMG MUST UPDATE PC HARDWARE EVERY MONTH/YEAR. as ive commented above, my pc is 4 years old and still runs all games on max and in hd at stable 50-60 fps in some cases even more.

 

And consoles already have outdated hardware at release otherwise they wouldnt get any profit from selling them. And that's why we pc players have to suffer from subpar crappy console ports, coz even if we get a game ported over, it doesnt mean that its a good port. Like skyrim the game is awesome, but it's still a dreadful console port with crappy graphics, bugs from porting and such, if it didn't have modding support, unofficial patches, the script extender, which increases fps due to it removing unused code and scripts remaining from consoles and it also adds a ton of new functionality, and graphics mods, it wouldn't sell.

You are worng Dark_Messiah , dead wrong, consoles have a market/audience and a big one too , As for the Mac ,Linux , there you are simply trolling because someone who doesn't even understand windows ,shouldn't even bother with those two  .

 

 

 

As for the comment below , you are taking it too personally , this isn't about us pc  gamers being superior to console gamers it is about console gaming keeping pc games back .

 

so enjoy ur next gen crappy consoles, while i enjoy my superior pc.

[GreyDeath]

I look at it this way, Consoles are good for keeping the brats occupied while i play a real game with real graphics with no issues or hold backs, and i don't have the worries of getting the dreaded RROD or YROD  or haft a think about using the Towel trick or the hair dryer to get my pc up and running, and i do side with Dark Messiah on the fact that you don't need to upgrade every month in fact most upgrades aren't even necessary including drivers , for those PC users out there that feel they need to grab every friggen update that comes out all i can say is , you evidently didn't build your system cause if you did you would of learned the first time around you don't download squat until it has had time to surpass issues that have been found and make certain the fixes apply to you and your machines needs, not all drivers are meant for all systems. lol kinda reminds me of the Windows Vista experience "where everyone grabbed all the downloads and found their pc ran slower then before they got the downloads 

 

point is Consoles make it worry free to those that don't build or cant build or cant afford a real gaming system, truth is i think the maturity level isn't there for the majority of the console gamers to get involved in the PC gaming world and am thankful for that  and that's where the consoles will tip the balance in favor over the pc gaming market as there are a hell ova lot of console Child sitters out there as opposed to pc child sitters, but as time progresses they will gain the knowledge necessary to venture into our would of PC Platforms and that is where we will see a growth spurt so to speak. PC's will always have a venue for hard core enthusiasts and will always be the choice for Graphics and reliability,playability,dependability, and especially over Upgrade ability  over cheap thrills  , over heated setups, and non sustaining console games

You are worng Dark_Messiah , dead wrong, consoles have a market/audience and a big one too , As for the Mac ,Linux , there you are simply trolling because someone who doesn't even understand windows ,shouldn't even bother with those two  .

 

 

 

As for the comment below , you are taking it too personally , this isn't about us pc  gamers being superior to console gamers it is about console gaming keeping pc games back .

 

so enjoy ur next gen crappy consoles, while i enjoy my superior pc.

 

1, For windows please explain which part do i not understand? the workstation versions, or the server versions? or its crappy coding compared to linux and mac, or its crappier kernel, or perhaps its crappy task manager (win vista had a better one than win7 and it was quite complex too and than they made a crappier one for win7.)? don't misunderstand me, windows is not a bad os but the other 2 is much better, has better coding, better task manager and better server versions not to mention linux is free and open source. So pls dont think that i dont know anything about windows or that i dont understand it, because i learned os programming and os history in school including win and linux, so i do know what im talking about. Windows is only good for gaming. As for the market, i never said that they have a small market or such things, but with steam expanding across more os' that market should shrink.

 

2, i understand that and i do apologise if i made it sound personal, it's just that some ppl always say that console is far superior when its not true and its a big misconception. Consoles only serve to hold back gaming.

 

As for the post above i get what you're saying but just 1 thing: i can build a better pc than a console from the money they ask for a console minus the monitor, keyboards, mouse and speakers. Especially from the console's release price which is 400eur or 500usd.

 

Also there's a rumour that xbox720 will use always online drm.

[Veta]

I didn't say that you don't know OS's what i meant is that console gamers don't want to bother with windows ( which tries to be user friendly ) so I highly doubt any of them would be able to cope with Mac and Linux .

[LordJerle]

Mac OS isn't an OS so much as a "Here's your dick that you were born with, that'll be an extra $50". Seriously, it's all standard PC parts with an Apple logo slapped on the motherfucker so they can charge more and a shiny version of UNIX that they did the same damn thing with. Anyway, having gone through multiple consoles, I'm with PC, all the way.  People say there's no good fighting games on PC, well... There's only a few good fighting games on console.  Never really was a fan of the MK series, Street Fighter stopped being interesting to me years ago, Tekken's just... jerky, unnatural feeling.  In fact, the only fighting games for console imho are the DOA series, and Rumble Roses series (if you consider that one a fighting game).  A) Breast physics They both play so smoothely. Anything you can't play drunk isn't worth playing.  There's a ton of good fighting games for PC, btw, they're just all homebrew.  Lots of good MUGENs, lots of good 2D Fighter Maker games.  Gotta look for em.  Also, ff7 and 8 were ported over to PC a long time ago and play great.  Not that 8 was ever a good game, but hey!  You can't win ALL the time.
