Why do you use a console instead of a PC?

Post » Mon May 07, 2012 4:26 pm

Seriously....PC games always look better and play better than consoles, but moreover, its alot cooler to build your own PC rig, and hot rod it into something totally awesome.
To me, a console is like instead of buying a muscle car that you can upgrade and tweak, that runs and looks better, you instead bought a plain jane Toyota Camry.

*sigh*

Some of us have to pay rent, car payments, bills in general and can't afford neato new rigs to customize. Xbox suited my needs, and wallet. And why do we need another PC is BESTEST thread?

You answered it yourself. Some people want a console (or Toyota) because it's simpler and less work, and cheaper.

But that's coming from someone with a gaming PC and a muscle car. :P

He's not flamebaiting. He didn't say anywhere that either choice was better than the other.

1. Consoles are cheaper than upgrading every 1-2 years
2. Xbox 360 gets DLC first
3. I can always upgrade to PC later when parts cost less.

I actually cringed at the title for this. Did you maybe think that some people can't afford to even build a new PC? If I really wanted to I could fund a new PC but I have many other things that take priority right now (I'm a student). You're the type of person that reinforces the stereotype about PC gamers being tools.

I am a PC player, and I don't find myself superior because I have a uber l337 gaming rig. I'm 15, so I don't have to worry about rent and stuff. When I'm in college I will probably be forced to use a console. Just you wait...

Because I'm not filthy rich? Don't get me wrong, I'm saving for a PC, but they aren't cheap. A basic one (I.e Skyrim recommended specs) is more expensive than a console. Some people just aren't that technically proficient. My mum plays games (I'm 21 btw, and live with my girlfriend). She understands "insert disc, play". Trying to explain installs, Steam, bugs, patches, etc to her would be fruitless. Not everyone wants the mods and/or better graphics. It's all down to what you personally want from your gaming. Consoles are a cheap, simple solution.

Because you drive Toyota's and Hundai's when you have to(they do get you there after all) and you get a BMW or Mercedes when you can.

This is a question about choices of what people play games on and not about Skyrim. But if it were about what you play Skyrim on it would still serve as flamebait since every thread like this serves to bring in people who think their personal choice is better than others personal choice and love to bash the others choice.

So without further ado, this thread is locked.
