Pc is more customizable and can run better graphics if you can drop a lot of cash on your rig. Modding is pretty fun too, but makes everything more prone to crashing. Console you can run games at great graphics for less. Lots of console exclusives too. All in all pretty evenly matched and only faggots would say one is better than the other

Second this, BO2 I have a ratio of 3.67 on Xbox, tried using a controller on PC and my first five matches were basically ratio's of 0.11 0.2 e.t.c

Consoles CANNOT be competitive, and I am a pretty competitive player.

consoles boast no advantage when playing online, but playing someone whose got a superior pc would give them an advantage, eg more fps

>each one has thier own advantage

Consoles are made to appeal to the masses. They exist solely to provide a locked-down platform and revenue from the premiums necessary to access that platform.

They have no technical advantage. The only real draw is exclusives, and their very existence is an unfortunate (from the view of the consumer) "benefit" that is, once again, geared toward making money.

Consoles exist, quite literally, because dumbs can't into computer and would rather shell out hundreds or even thousands extra to have something that "just werks". The release of new consoles also provides the NEW! BETTER! MORE EXCITING! novelty that the average consumer eats up.

There is no appreciable technical hardware difference between a console and PC anymore, at least in terms of tangible functionality. It's all redundant hardware, it's just that each platform allows you a ladder into the walled garden the manufacturer would like nothing better than for you to enter.

For just a small fee and a limited time, of course.

Immidiatly cheaper, less shit tier games to sift through before checking out the good ones, controllers are FAAAAAAR easier to use then keyboard (ive gamed on both for years), they do need replaced every ten years but i never have to worry about one little virus wrecking my whole operating system and losing all my data, can maintain a console collection without internet connection, it goes on and on.

>>
>>646957705
PC has standardized hardware which allows you to upgrade with time and replace parts whenever you need to. A $500 budget PC is a much better buy than a console because it will perform better longer. The keyboard and mouse is a much better than a controller. Most of the games worth playing are missing from consoles because consoles are completely missing entire genres of games like grand strategy, RTS, flight sim, space sims, etc. Windows has a much larger library of games and emulation expands on that even further. Even the games that PC and console share are much better on PC because of better graphics, fps, mods, etc. PC also isn't just a gaming machine so you can do more than just game on it.

Also to add on this about people complaining about the price. You can build a pc that will run games on medium settings just fine for 250-300 dollars. That is of course if you just want to run things. Which of course isn't nearly as expensive as a brand new console so price really shouldn't be why you decided to buy a console. Also if you can't afford a monitor just hook up the damn computer to your tv. Unless you know, have a 10 year old tv.

>>646957705
Pretty simple.

> console
Plug and play. No fucking around with settings. Almost 0 customisation for controls. Games are built for the machine so usually make good use of all resources available. Usually a new one comes out every couple of years.

> PC
Gotta get settings right for the machine. More functionality. Pretty much everything can be customised. Mods for everything. Machines vary greatly, so most devs go middle-of-the-road techwise to increase sales. More potential power than any console, but gotta upgrade every fucking 6 months just to keep up.

That's about it, really.

>>646963856
The thing is though you're just not listing actual facts. You can download any game for your pc, the only real hard part is knowing if your computer can run it or not. You can play it right away most games setup the settings for you. I've never had to fuck around with settinggs unless I was raising them to ultra. You don't have to upgrade all the time. I've had my gaming pc for about 4 years now.
>>
>>646963572
I used to prefer console gaming but as I got older all my favorite nostalgia games would require me to have kept all the old consoles because fuckers at Sony refuse to make system backward compatible.

Mine's 6 years old but I had to upgrade the graphics card. Still can't play everything to its fullest, but enough to play and enjoy the games.

I just listed main points. Pretty sure you can download for consoles too, but I stopped at the 360... games were just getting too expensive and I love playing my golden oldies on PC.

Staying cutting edge you gotta upgrade a lot. But I don't see the point for an extra 2% or so of performance.
>>
Pc if you prefer to have more control over your experience, at the risk of fucking everything up.

Consoles if you want no control or responsibility ,and leaves you at the full mercy of game devs to make your experience enjoyable.

Basically if you like Apple products get a Console.

Microsoft is a bunch of faggots spying and lying. Not only is Windows 10 spyware/malware it's now adware. (not implying anybody here is stupid enough to use it)

If all games were compiled for Linux like they are for PS4... that would be the optimal situation. Have both.

I'd say fuck the comp and put it on my mortgage.

But if I had to.... for about1300 I could put together a machine that flattens any console out there and stay good for the next 2 or 3 years. And that's paying retail for the parts.
For 2500 I could buy a premade machine that would match a ps4.

The rest could then be spent on giant monitors, a cinema-style surround sound system and oculus rift tech.

if i could persuade them all to get pc's then great but they are console people.
i dont care what platform i play on aslong as i enjoy my gaming experience and that generally happens on consoles.

It's because you're naturally a lot more accurate with a mouse since you're using more of your body to control it. A controller simply uses your thumbs. Almost all console games have some sort of aim assist built in to counter-act that fact. So if you have bad aim then you're going to be shit at PC Gaming.

OP here again

Guys seriously,consoles are easily better for the gaming experience because of many reasons

I can't play for hours and hours anymore on my pc because the fucking chair kills me

Consoles are also better if you want to have a normal life
>>
>>646967700
Ever heard of an HDMI cable? You can use those to plug your PC into a TV you know.
>>
Consoles have exactly two advantages:
Higher efficiency due to uniform structure and drivers - you don't have to build or patch anything.
Lower system cost due to economies of scale - ready made PCs generally cost more since fewer of any given model are made.

Everything else is a disadvantage however.

Consoles are nice because you generally don't have to fuck with them past buying them. Plus, they're purpose built, and don't really allow you to break them unless you're a complete idiot, uploading flash drive software, OR if you own an Xbox 360. Those 360's are about as reliable as a 90's Mitsubishi shitbox.

PC's are nice because they can be built to higher specs than consoles and be future proofed, meaning less money spent overall. There are problems though, sometimes you may want a game which is unfortunately exclusive to consoles, and PC's have a higher possibility of contracting viruses, especially if you think that hiding behind 7 proxies and using Norton makes you safe.

Long story short, both are pretty great, and then again, both suck at the same time.

do you even understand refresh rates?

console fags bitch most for high framerate precision games to reduce input lag ( fighting games, smash melee on analog CRTs).

pc fags enjoy higher refresh rates of digital monitors regaurdless of minumal digital input lag(.1ms) along with high resolutions(1440, 4k).

Digital TVs usually have lower resolution and higher input lag, but still1080p so its fine , especially comparing it to console shit on the same TV

- Massive Library of Games.
- Easy to pirate games.
- Mods for games.
- Larger online options (more players).
- Better Graphics.
- Backwards compatibility with ancient games.
- Can do a plethora of others things besides gaming.
- Don't have to pay for a Live / Plus service.

Console Pros:
- Cheep.

Patches suck on console... least on PC you can choose not to get them. Can't play online without them and they can still take 3 hours to download, so there's that.

And most PC games use steam now. So even if you go out and buy the disc, you get to knock a whopping 15 minutes off your overall dl time.

Both sides are getting fucked here.

Simple...

Console: More convenient, standardized platform, unified functions for social networking and gaming, simple to operate and relatively inexpensive

PC: More powerful and dedicated gaming platform,broader range of functionality, more complex to operate and games are not 100% guaranteed to operate like other computers' counterparts, generally more expensive

Steam is fucking stupid dude. You're exchanging rights to property and ownership all for a little ease of use.

You do realize that at ANY time and without reason Steam can remove any game it chooses from your service, or all of them, or outright ban you. You don't even have to do anything wrong or against the terms. And there isn't a single fucking thing you can do about it because you don't own the game, you're simply licensing the right to play it. Where as if you own the game, legally they have to have a valid reason for removing your right to play it.

PC has more games (but about the same amount of decent quality games... indie games are rarely decent for commercialization) and those games cost less if you download them illegally... or you could simply buy them from Steam when they are discounted... there's not much difference here.

Computers cost about 2 to 1000 times more then consoles (depending on the pc or console) but it's actually very rare to see a brand new computer that cost less then a brand new console these days even tho this is becoming less and less true as time goes by.

Consoles have everything except the TV, just plug and play. With PC you need to buy everything else you need to enjoy your games except the computer screen which is just a smaller tv when you think about it. Television and computer monitor are becoming so alike that there will be no distinction in the future.

Overall it's the experience that counts. You might have more fun playing online with your friends on a good PC game or you might enjoy playing alone on a good console game like Zelda on the wii U.

The choice is yours entirely. Do what you enjoy most.

In other cases, they just don't give a shit about PC gaming. It's a small % of the total gaming market. Something like Skyrim sold 2 million copies on PC... and 25 million on Consoles. They'll put more time and effort into what will net them the larger portion of money... consoles.
