PC gaming is better than console gaming

Rebuttals: "Is that why every day when I go to school, all I can hear about are consoles and console gaming?" Here's a tidbit about gaming culture. A lot of people who play on console (A lot not all) are casuals. Meaning they're playing games like COD, Fifa, Madden, NBA 2k16 etc. Again not all console gamers are casuals, but most casuals are console gamers. Especially if you hear some of the more popular kids talking about it because there's still a stigma around gaming that isn't just casual. "Is that why there are only a few in my year who actually PC game? " And there are likely more, but not everyone boasts about it. I play PC I don't go shouting it through the hallways. We actually have a gaming club at my school and most of the people there are PC gamers, but then again yours and my school doesn't represent the entire population and it doesn't change the fact that most gamers are actually older. Females usually 44 years old and Males 35 years old. "Yes I have a two year old PC which was good for its time, now I hear i can't run any decent game as my graphics card is too low, if I had a console I wouldn't have this problem as it would last me quite a long time." You heard wrong. I was also told I couldn't play all the games I'm playing right now. My settings are way below the minimum requirements yet I still play all of them with no lag and if you really can't play a game than you can just return it with Steam. I have never had a problem returning a game I didn't like. "With PC, you have to pay to upgrade parts" Again no you don't. We already discussed this. "console gaming costs 900$." You must have read that wrong or I phrased that wrong I'm talking about if you got both a Playstation AND an Xbox. I know very well the cost of one. "Hey 200$? I can get a used good condition console with that can't I." And for a bit more than 200 dollars you can make a PC for scratch much longer than that used console will last you and way after it's irrelevant. "You get the luxury of being on your sofa, and on a TV making the gaming way more real and exciting than PC which is limited." A love seat can probably set you back about 400 dollars and a full sized couch 500 from Ikea. You can get a nice comfy office chair for 90 dollars on Amazon. I also have a plastic chair that's about 30 dollars from Ikea that's really comfortable. Plus it swivels can't do that on your couch. If you have a laptop that you game on you can play on your bed. If it's not an intense game that is, not even console gamers can do that. "way more real and exciting" I didn't want to bring this up because it was cliche and what not, but PC does have better graphics. It really does. When I'm looking at a walkthrough and see someone playing on a console I am literally appalled by the quality of the game. I love my details and shadows. "And don't go telling me you can get screens next to eachover for PCs because then you might as well go bankrupt." You can actually use your TV as a monitor. I don't. I have no problem gaming on my laptop, it hurts my eyes and neck a lot less than when I used to game on a console, but if you want a big monitor you can just use your TV if you wish. "Even more, everyone famous on YouTube mainly console games" I'm just gonna skim the YouTubes and tell you all of the PC gamers I find. Rags, Pewdiepie, The Teens React team, Most Minecraft Youtubers, CoryxKenshin, All Roblox Youtubers, Markiplier, FGTeeV, Jackspticeye, PopularMMOs and all Mod YouTubers. That's only a few from the first few videos on YouTube Gaming. If they're in a chair with headphones they're console gaming. The only console gamer I saw was GTlive. "if you check your sources right and use a bit of logic, PC gaming can be much more expensive" I actually did check all my sources and did come to the conclusion that PC gaming is cheaper in the long run. All my statements have been backed up by facts. A simple google search will prove that to you. And not all my comments were about money. You failed to disprove that we have more options with games and access to exclusives. The cost was only one argument. New Arguments: More options for providers A commenter brought up a good point. The fact that we have a lot more options when it comes to our providers. Computer wise we have countless options when it comes to companies: Dell, HP, Toshiba, Mac(I can't even say that with a straight face), Acer, Alienware, Ironhide, Vaio, Compaq. The list goes on. In terms of video game suppliers and hosts we have Steam, Origin, Amazon, GameAccess, Battle.net, Xbox on windows 10, PSN, Gamefly, Direct2Drive, Gamersgate, Gog, Itch.io, Greenman gaming and countless others. Fact is you have a lot more choice on PC. If you don't like one company go to another if this one company doesn't have a game you want you have dozens more possibilities. It's a lot better than "Man I want to get Halo, but I have a Playstation and don't want to fork over another 400 dollars for an Xbox." A Developer of the game Crysis LITERALLY said Consoles are holding gaming back "As long as the current console generation exists and as long as we keep pushing the PC as well, the more difficult it will be to really get the benefit of both", Crytek boss Cervat Yerli tells Edge magazine. "[The] PC is easily a generation ahead right now. With 360 and PS3, we believe the quality of the games beyond Crysis 2 and other CryEngine developments will be pretty much limited to what their creative expressions is, what the content is. You won't be able to squeeze more juice from these rocks." That is a direct quote. I am not delusional (not implying you said I was). PCs are clearly superior to consoles that a developer literally wants to just stop with consoles and just completely switch the platform. I say it's time. Full Article: http://kotaku.com...
