i get told its down to prefference, i like consoles but the pc is looking so inviting.Forum Pirate wrote:Not even close to comprehensive list
ps4 convience (as in put in game and play, no hassle), one time purchase.
more expensive games, lesser graphics.
PC More indy stuff, upgradeable, mods, graphics settings, bigger downloadable libraries, remappable controls, cheaper (new) games
Requires upgrading year to year to run new games at max, expensive, don't actually own many of your downloaded games, smaller community on many multi-platform games, hackers are a bigger issue (in game.)
Thats off the top of my head, but the biggest pro to consoles is really convienience. No hassle, no tech crap to buy and install, data installs are infrequent.
glad i aint the only one,whew.Forum Pirate wrote:console, i'm way to lazy to pc game except for mmos and evochron. also, mouse and keyboard controls are horrid, imo.
For me the way a game looks means little to nothing, like, dark souls on max settings compared to min honestly don't concern me and constols almost always have a nice enough look to them. I like the way playing on my PS3 feels, its more relaxed, its more for the fun!KrazykevS10 wrote:PC.
If you do a build right and buy a fair few games,you could actually spend less than you would on a console since PC games are much cheaper. The PC community for each game may be smaller but in my experience,they have been more mature(Even the kids) compared to the 360. With console emulators and the ability to play old games,you have the option of playing a hell of a lot more games. The graphics look better,even on multiplatform games (Look up Skyrim with ENB). Speaking of Skyrim,the mods for certain games,especially Bethesda and Valve titles can be complete game changers,I highly recommend them. And lastly,if you are concerned about having to use a mouse and keyboard,you don't. I bought a wired 360 controller for my PC and use a free program called XPadder to set up controls for it,I can play any PC game with a controller.
Actually Microshaft has it's own official drivers to make a 360 controller work. Just throwing that out there. Some people are kinda iffy when it comes to 3rd party software(I don't blame them)KrazykevS10 wrote:

And I still have to argue the prices being thrown around here.
A build with a 500GB hard drive, 8GB of RAM, a Tri-core 3.0GHz cpu, and a seriously wicked graphics card(I forget the model off the top of my head), and windows 7 64-bit will only set you back $550 tops. Again, I managed it with $512. That's after shipping and such.
And as far as aesthetics go, this also included a cool case that glows blue. Or any color or no color at all should you choose. But that's not quite as important.
The drivers only let the PC recognise that the controller is connected,they do not let you configure controls. The program I was talking about pretty much emulates a keyboard and mouse but on a controller. For example,I can map the right stick to mouse movement and use it to not only turn in game but also use it on the desktop instead of a mouse.NathanC wrote:Actually Microshaft has it's own official drivers to make a 360 controller work.

That's more than a little cool. I'm going to have to look into that.KrazykevS10 wrote:The drivers only let the PC recognise that the controller is connected,they do not let you configure controls.

It just makes it so that I can play PC games while I lay in bed which is awesome.
