Post: PC/Mac Gaming vs Console Gaming
03-29-2011, 01:27 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, I've slowly grown tired of the 360 vs PS3 debate purely because they're such similar systems, and I consider it silly arguing over. Having said that, PCs/Macs & consoles are quite different. Very different, in-fact, as you will know if you've had a go at both like myself.

So which is better and why? Taking into consideration price, ease of use/simplicity, controls, gameplay, servers and all of that good stuff.

For me it's console, primarily because while yes PCs/Macs can produce graphics far beyond this generation of consoles, it tends to cost a heck of a lot more.

How about you guys? Reply below Happy

Id pick PC for a couple reasons. Dedi Servers, better community (I find), Real time strategies and RPGS (Any RTS + RPG is 20x better on PC) ,It seems to take skill in a FPS, and MOD tools just to name a few. I do enjoy console gaming for the exclusives they get mostly.

I would agree, but for all that you need an expensive PC(more-so than consoles at least) and then there's the risk that if you get a virus you not only lose your computer but also your gaming too.

I built a gaming computer with 10gb of RAM, a video card that can play Crysis (one of the most visibly taxing games) at max settings, a dual core processor, and a motherboard it all works on for about $450. This is a device than can not only play games, but also download all kinds of files, watch movies, do projects, work, play music, and many other things.

Also, as long as you're using a decent antivirus, you shouldn't get any terrible viruses. And I've never heard of a virus that messes up a computer so bad that it can't be used anymore. There is always a way to get the computer working again. If a part fails, you can replace it without buying an entirely new computer. If your files are destroyed, you can still reformat your HDD and reinstall.

Personally, I think PC gaming is more convenient, but I tend to play PS3 more.

Actually you can run into some.

I feel both PC gaming and console gaming both have their perks. MMOs definitely rule the PC genre but I personally enjoy console gaming for FPS because it seems more realistic a tad, a controller vs keyboard and mouse.

Edit: why do you say mac? Only people who have macs that game have windows on it which is basically a pc lol
