Does anyone else prefer consoles?
>>320011690
no
they're just weaker, more limited computers that I can't use my mouse/keyboard on
if i want to play gamecube games, i just plug my gamecube controller into my pc and emulate it
but i'd never do that, because luigi's mansion sucks
>>320011690
Nobody on this board plays video games retard.
I honestly do. I can admit PC has better processing power and overall specs and such, but I like the comfort of sitting on a couch versus sitting at a desk.
I play with my friends locally a lot, so having them all crowd around a PC wouldnt be ethical.
>>320011893
Breh, it's the only console pic I had saved.
Why are you so angry?
Get some fresh air, man
Yes
You have 10 seconds to defend consoles.
>>320011690
Yeah. Too poor to build a good PC
PC doesnt appeal to me. it's an All in one machine that can do everything, and thats great and all, but it takes away the independence consoles have.
My Dreamcast for example, I love it dearly because I have fond memories with it. And a small library of about 8 games I love. I love the orange light, I love hearing the disk spin, thats just something I don't get with emulation. Plus i've had those games as a kid, they mean a lot to me, and I'm not about to trash them just becase theres an "Easier" alternative/
Emulation gives me access to HUNDREDS of Dreamcast games, and while thats cool at first, it destroys the magic of enjoyingwhat I have. Just because you have the ability to paly everything doesn't mean you'll do so, and you'll more then likely get overwhelmed by all the choices, and end up not playing at all.
I have a drive to play games on console, I have none when it coms to emulation. it' s just not the same feeling, and it never will be.
I dont prefer any of them. I just play video games, idc if its 30 or 160 fps, i dont care about the graphics, i just play good games
>>320012262
I'm surprised barneyfag isn't here to complain about that pic.
>>320011690
no and fuck every consumerist pleb swine that does.
fucking normies REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I do. But I'm full idort and it costs lot of money to own every system that has games that interest you and feed it games, so I realize the PC only shitskins can't afford more than a toaster. I only really use my PC for emulation since most multiplats are shit and when PC gets a good game it's usually a 3 years old Vita port I've beaten 3 times already also the community is absoutely terrible.

>>320012689
>idc if its 30 or 160 fps
same here, I'd buy a PS4
but the only game I'm interested in for now is Bloodborne and it struggles to even reach consistent 30fps
>>320011690
I never saw the difference Honestly. PC is jsut anoher console to me
Snes - Super nintendo games and GBC games
Genesis - MD, Gen, 32X and CD games
N64 - N64 Carts
GC - Gamecube and GBA games
PS2 - PS1 and Ps2 disks
360 - Xbox and 360 discs
PS3 - PS3 disks
Wii U - Wii and Wii U discs
PC - Indies and RPGmaker games
Each one has their own strengths and weaknesses, but I love them all the same.

>>320011850
>Older more mature playerbase
I don't know when this happened, but it's quite the opposite these days.
I kinda miss consoles sometimes, recently been playing fallout 4 but the settlement mods have side tracked me quite a bit especially the settlement defence mod, had hours of good wholesome fun with that, however, I decide to play story mode without any mods and game quickly becomes boring. If I just played it on console I'd be bang into the game right now without mods tempting me.

most new and interesting games that come out for pc are just indie trash anyway so all you need is a toaster
you could play nothing but emulators and pirate indie games and youd never run out of games to play, especially if you found some rogue-like or multiplayer game you really like

There's like 0.00000001% of games released on PC that have both mod support and a modding community to make them.

It depends of what games you play, I'd say Street Fighter on 360 has a higher skill ceiling than assfaggots.

At the condition that someone made a driver for it and it usually comes with plenty of limitations like USB only.
>emulators for older consoles
Call me when you can play Dridge of Cerberus without disgusting graphical artifacts.

On PC, a game is either overpopulated with memelords or either completely dead.

That meme again, most games are fine in 30fps and 60fps is behind a paywall.

Sorry, but it's the truth. I still play my rogue-likes on PC because I can't get them anywhere else. If you're an actual PC gaming enthusiast who enjoys unique games like grand strategy and space simulation, you're the minority and I'd buy you a beer.
The industry views PC gaming as a bunch of f2p shit-eatting 12 year olds 95% of the time. Where did it all go so wrong?
Also like nothing comes out with mod support anymore. Fuck this gay Earth, it actually go me to finally go consolefag.
>>320014161

For third person games, which are mostly what I play. Doesnt feel right on PC for some reason, the same way FPSs dont feel right on consoles.
>>320014056
Why not get a cheap PS3 and order a couple of good games for it? I guarantee you it will change your relationship towards video games.

What point do you want me to back up? Do you really expect me to put up a detailed essay with links and citations for every single point? You do realise that you are on a chinese imageboard made for animefags to discuss video games right?
Hell, I hooked my PC up to my TV and play with a 360 Wireless controller AND it is right next to my desk where I can switch to monitor play for less console-friendly games. Works great.
>>320011690
Yes, pc's are for job's that requires them and price reflects it.
Being able to play games on them is a nice bonus.
If you specifically build a pc for gaming you're just stupid, consoles do a good enough job of the same thing more conveniently.
Pc gamers never stfu about fps and resolution because it's the only justification they have for their purchase.
"I can emulate"
"I can play that game in 4k"
"I can use a keyboard and mouse"
You can keep chanting this rhetoric into the void of internet forums filled with the like minded but in the real world people don't give a fuck, infact when you tell them you plopped down over 3k for these mind blowing features, they think you're a loser.

I'd call you a faggot, but you listed Aquaria so I'll let it slide.
Yeah
I do play some midrange games on PC, but I find myself a lot more likely to complete a game on console. I think it's just a comfort thing, or mentality.
I /get/ pc, and (aside from mouseaim in fps) i just don't care about the superiority too much. Doesn't change the fact the SS2 and the Thief series are probably my favorite games tho
Console wars are a Jewish scam
I used to game on PC, and then my shitty 560 broke the fuck down, and I saw literally no reason to replace it or build a new rig.
Just bought a PS4 (already had a WiiU) and honestly I haven't looked back at PC since. The last PC game I played was Hotline and I got it on PS4 now anyways. I just give zero fucks about PC gaming.

Shit dude you ^dropped your stu)pid face: shit all in my post.
I'm an idiort and still I primarily play on the PC
I'm not going into any masterrace bullshit but sometimes I feel like I'm chained to my computer, forever a slave to instant gratification. I don't have room in my bedroom for a tv because it's a shitty dorm, so I need to go to the living room to play console games. The entire time I'm out there I feel this weird anxiety to go back into my computer, and generally do unless I'm playing something with friends.
I think there is something wrong with me I'm like autistic or something

I recently got pic related for PS4. I inserted the disc into the console and the game launched immediately. What are you talking about?
>>320011690
I only play on console for their exclusives. If there's a good emulator for it then I emulate.
>>320015620

It's not really reductive when that's the entire essence of what you said, you're a big fan of consoles for their lack of complexity in operation. You just want to consume and not dwell on the finer details. Good goy.

>almost every game is available for a discount
Games on release are $60 on steam. And it's a rental license. At least on console you get to actually own the product, you can sell it if you don't like it or are done with it. You can also buy used games for cheaper than during your 'holy steam sales' (peace be upon our lord and savior Gaben).
>everyone plays what they enjoy with a full library of backwards compatible games
Is Silent Hill 2 backwards compatible?
>emulators work and are free
And plenty of games come up with graphical glitches at best, game breaking bugs at worse.
>new releases always look better and run smoother than the console counterparts
Not true, especially if you have an ATI card. And even if you don't the performance and graphics is behind a paywall, that $400 PC isn't goint to play new releases on 1080p/Ultra/60fps.
>>320016560
You think the average appartment has a decent KB+M, monitor and office chair around?
Will PS4 get a Dark Souls 3 bundle? I'm not interested in getting one with Battlefront or Uncharted or whatever when I wouldn't actually play that game
>>320012636
speaking the truth.
>>320016835
I'm an idort. I play video games regardless of the hardware. I think graphics are killing vidya and 60fps is a meme. I try very hard to be neutral about PC since I have one for emulation/old multiplats but you make it very hard with your constant shitposting and elitist cunt attitude. There is value in consoles just as there is in PC.by dismissing one or the other you are locking away yourself from plenty of great games.
>>320017008
>Consoles always work
Not true tho. I've had a Wii with a broken dvd, a gamecube with a defect motherboard, a snes that melted and a nes that no longer work. I've never had a computer with a major hardware failure. Can't talk about sony or xbox because I don't play them.
>>320017887
But with a pc your mom kicks all the you off all the time to check her email on AOL.com
>>320017345
The Uncharted series is surprisngly decent for a AAA shooter. It's basically Indiana Jones:the game and MP can be entertaining. If you see a cheap $350 or better, $300 bundle you should definetly go for it. That is unless you really hate shooters with passion.
>>320016227
Yes it does, you can change it so it automatically boots up with the game. Don't know about the wii u, though
