(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just want a nice discussion as to why you do or don't play on PC.

Here's some of questions that may help with the discussion:

  • Are you not interested in playing PC?
  • Are your worried about the cost?
  • Do you dislike using a controller?
  • Do your friends use one platform more?

Please do not focus your response on just these questions alone, please expand and give some input! Smile

Are you not interested in playing PC? I am and I'm not. The games I play would be epic on a good gaming PC but I want to play casual and not feel I've spent loads of money to do that.
Are your worried about the cost? Yes and no. I love Apple too much but having said that if I were to build a gaming PC it would be a Hackintosh.
Do you dislike using a controller? No I like using a controller. I suck at keyboard and mouse.
Do your friends use one platform more? All the people I game with are console only.

Are you not interested in playing PC ?: I'm more interested in it now that i'm older and can afford it i've been planning on replacing my laptop with a gaming PC for awhile now i'm just waiting for thing's to ship Smile

Are your worried about the cost ?: No most PC game's are way cheaper then console game's Happy the only really expensive thing is the PC depending on what you get

Do you dislike using a controller ?: No but i think i can get used to a keyboard and mouse pretty quick Winky Winky

Do your friends use one platform more ?: No 3 of my friends have PC's and i think they have console's to i just don't think they use them anymore

As for price, I understand it can feel like a big bit of money, i felt it myself when i got my PC. If you put it into this perspective the investment may seem better (maybe not in your case as you just bought a new laptop). A PC can be used as a normal desktop or for gaming from. In this sense, it's a 'game console' and 'laptop' put into one machine. When you add the prices of these together, the price of the PC seems more understandable.

As for the hardware side I understand it can be daunting if you have little to no knowledge about computers. As much as people dislike, you can always get a pre-built machines. You could also ask a friend to build it or possibly learn yourself! (tons of resources available online). Websites like reddit and youtube provide a lot of help. Members on NGU will be willing to help if you ask.

I just want to make it clear, I'm not trying to talk you into getting a PC, just having a discussion Smile


I can almost remember you shit talking the pc master race not so long ago :/

But just so I dont look like I spam:
Here's some of questions that may help with the discussion:
Are you not interested in playing PC?
Are your worried about the cost?
Do you dislike using a controller?
Do your friends use one platform more?

1. I've always been a pc gamer. We got the first family PC when I was 5 and I remember going through all the DOS bullshit just to play a game.
2. I am more or less worried when something eventually dies. It happens but that's why you buy based on good brands that have good warrenties. But other than that, I didn't really spare when I built this machine.
3.Nope. I use my PS2 and 360 controller.
4.Ironically whenever a new console comes out we do pick them up play them when a certain game comes out but other than that all PC.

I was more of a console gamer growing up just because money was tight as a kid there was just one computer. So I mainly stuck with my PS2. Most of the friends I met on there all migrated to PC soon after socom 3/CA and that's pretty much where we play at now.

The controller is programmed into my brain. A keyboard would give me migraines trying to regain all dat muscle memory.
