PC gaming>>>console gaming. This has absolutely has no objective basis, but this was how I really grew up gaming so there's just something that makes it really easy to get lost in a game by sitting close to a monitor with a mouse in one hand, and your other hand's fingers on the keyboard. Now I just need a new monitor, though I might want to hold off as the courier may well just be an axe murderer, and the axes that we have grown very fond of. HD actually matters on something like Crysis.* Plus the games. Warhead was the first game I've played this generation based on the Doom style of gameplay intead of the CoD style. And Wars...huge maps, vehicles, and just general chaos. That is how it should be done. Unless you're Killzone 2

Of course matters of the physical may not be the reason at all. Perhaps the games are just better. In fact, they probably are. Nyaa And of coures you can even play at higher resolutions than 1080P, thus making the PS3/360 as obsolete as the Wii. And 90% of games are Little Big Planet, but with more creative and talented people working on mods.

Screw this, this is now a PC vs Console blog.

More importantly: PC gaming>>>console gaming. This has absolutely has no objective basis, but this was how I really grew up gaming so there's just something that makes it really easy to get lost in a game by sitting close to a monitor with a mouse in one hand, and your other hand's fingers on the keyboard.

You get lost sitting at a desk?! A DESK... the thing you sit behind at a job. The thing you use to do WORK. Oh yes getting close to a screen makes you feel better, then sit closer to your probably much bigger and nicer TV. Mouse in one hand, keyboard in another, that feels good... yes for writing crap on the internet. For surfing porn. For writing a school report. NOT GAMING. Its a device with letters for typing, not buttons. I think sitting too close to the PC screen melted all your brains into somehow thinking a keyboard is a good device for gaming.

Anyway enjoy playing all three PC genres, great selection of exclusives you have there... I'll stick with actual gaming.

(And we have the topic of the week, your welcome.)

There are many things wrong with this post, but the bolded strikes me as especially offensive. Do we have a podcast lined up? This can't be adressed by written language only. Typed words cannot do enough justice to the holy rage building inside me.

Did you enjoy playing that strategy game on the PC. Now you're playing a FPS right. Maybe throw in an RPG later. Then what... Nyaa

There is nothing to school. If I never get a gaming PC for the rest of my life, I will be totally fine, there are almost no PC exclusives that I care about. I cannot live without consoles (you know I dont mean that literally). Flip it on yourself, will you be ok without ever getting a new console. Think of the tons and tons of exclusives you would be missing out on in a wide variety of genres.

I don't care for strategy games, thats about the only genre PC has major exclusives. FPS, they practically all come out on consoles, same with RPGs. Really think about this, name me one major action/adventure PC exclusive in the last oh 5 years.  Name me one major platformer PC exclusive in the last 5 years. Hell name me one exclusive Japanese PC game. Fighting game? Music game? Action game, DMC/GoW like? JRPG? Sports sim? Its like those genres just don't exist. In those genres, the ones I care about have I missed anything cause I don't have a gaming PC, NOPE.

So that is where I am coming from. I understand that PCs get a ton of games from consoles as well and it has a huge selection. I am not talking about what you can play on PC, you can play all sorts of games. I am talking about what you can ONLY play on PC compared to what you can ONLY play on consoles and its no contest really.

Obviously my point was you'll find mods for many games, and you'll find things a hell of a lot better than anything you could find on LBP.

And to answer your question: yes, easily. For everything other than practical reasons which don't have any relevance to the debate I would take a PC over a console any day.

I am conflicted on this. I'll save the personal memories etc... and just say that until I had to work in front of a computer for 9-10 ours a day I was a PC gamer.

Work removed my love of the computer, the console and couch was a better fit.

Even though I am retired now, I'm still in the console habit.  My old computer, and weird place I have the computer in my house don't help in changing that.

There is certainly something to be said about PC gaming being more absorbing.  It takes in your attention in a way that the console cannot.

I guess I don;t see it as being an either/or situation, you should be able to enjoy both in a best case scenario.
