H2 Vista is a pisspoor example.

E: And after reading, you're a consolefag

And Inferno, didn't I blatantly say that some of these are a bit harsh, but all in fun?

It is a well known fact that PC gamers will spend large amounts of $$ in order to keep their PC up to date. Just because YOU didn't, doesn't mean everyone else follows that.

Consoles are far better. Unlike PC's they stay around for a good 4 or 5 years.

Righto, two things I need to know in order to understand your justification.

1) How old are you?
2) When did you start gaming?

I had a 5 year old PC that ran UT3 and Crysis well enough to bear, so please explain to me how PC's are no good for 4-5 years. Consoles are definitely powerful machines, but the problem is, the instant PC systems catch up to console power (which they did long ago), the console quickly becomes obsolete. Gears of War 2 seems to be the graphical height barrier on the Xbox 360, wheras PC gaming is always improving its technology.

Yes, I'm a PCfag, but not without good reason. If for nothing else, I consider PC gaming better because of 1) Ability to have Über high resolution games running at 60fps, and 2) A more entertaining, and respectful community.

PCs and consoles have their places. I mean, the X360's hardware is certainly nowhere near the latest DX10 PC graphics cards and quad core Intels, but the X360 costs $199. To get a PC that runs COD4 at the same level of the performance as the 360, you'd have to shell out at least $400 assuming you build your own. PCs will always be ahead in terms of technology, but not everyone is overly concerned with it or can afford it.

so yeah imo PC isn't better than console, but console isn't better than PC either. They have different targets. Personally I favor the PC because most of my favorite shooter games are on it, but I'm also a regular console gamer. My friend plays both too but favors the console because it means he can play with his two brothers at the same time without having to take turns (split screen...).

A common argument is that the keyboard/mouse owns the gamepad - while that is certainly undisputable for shooters, the fact is that there are other genres of games out there. I'm definitely not keen on controlling Mario or Crash Bandicoot with a keyboard/mouse. I don't like using a keyboard in NFS as I can't handle as well as I'd like.

Consoles are far better. Unlike PC's they stay around for a good 4 or 5 years.

Grab a PC magazine or something and start learning the truth.

Back on topic: I just realized, I'm a heavy weapons whore. I always remember those times in Halo 2, where I'd memorize the locations of the swords and shotguns and rocket launchers. Fun times.

Jean-Luc, wanna add something about portable gaming too? DS/PSP ftw.

Just ran into a clueless fuck on L4D a few minutes ago.

We are all getting gangraped by 2 hunters, a smoker, and 2 hordes. 3 of our team fell, myself included. Our one surviving teammate just stood there, we kept screaming for help. His response? "HOW?!"

FUCKING NEWBIES I SWEAR

Not to mention user generated content and free DLC.

Also -- the upgrade for a PC is typically pretty cheap... most PCs can run games on fairly high settings with only a ~150$ videocard dumped it.

If Intel didn't release such horrid crap for videocards... PC gaming would be a LOT better off.

One thing people keep forgetting when they consider console gaming...

They already have a PC o.O

************

Edit: Oh right almost forgot -- besides being the obvious PC Gaming oldfag ((Whatup 80286!)) I'm the jackass... but in a unique way...

Basically I'm that dude who actually uses the environment against the enemy... throwing propane tanks against tanks in L4D versus (nailed the first tank in Dead Air last level with 2 while he was trying to chase down my teamates)... luring a tank down two halls, around a corner where I already placed a gas tank... hiding C4/RDX packs around bottlenecks to surprise people ((PROTIP: No-one looks up... I've successfully ''hid'' RDX packs in plain sight in 2142 by placing them on the ceilings of hallways))... circle strafing around a post in GTA4 when someone's trying to run me over

((REALLY effective by the way... they can't run you down and their aim/guns are crap from inside the vehicle... just keep them going around the pole until you decide to strike))
