I can give you one good reason to abandon your console.
Money for PC games.

>>112429891
i'll only tell you if you tell me why consoles are so good

you already posted this today.

You forgot being able to use it for things that aren't games, configurability, multiple displays, a better selection of games, and the satisfaction of building something yourself.

Better cooling. More durability.

>>112430022
>thats the joke

Why the limitations OP?Cant handle it?

You can't really argue the last two, since the PC has such a large community that the playerbase needs to be defined on a game to game basis rather than the platform as a whole, but aside from that its an accurate list

-easier to pirate
-not as many faggy kids
-no gay little thumbsticks in FPS games
-better sound
-better customisation

faggot go back to your gay little console

It's sad how quickly the "master race" tries to sweep the truth under the rug by burying it under such irrelevant information, as all the problems OP had could have occurred just as easily if he had used any other processor.

"So which platform really is better?"

You want the truth, /v/? Well here it is:
- Console gaming IS cheaper. The "master race" loves to tout how cheaply they can build a rig that lasts years. Unforunately, they purposefully leave out some very important information: in PC building, you get what you pay for. These "cheap builds" aren't the ones being touted as running the most graphically intensive games on max settings; they're running stuff on Medium (which, for many games, ends up looking on par [or sometimes worse, depending on how bad the PC port is] than their console counterparts). The builds that are maxing out graphically intensive games ARE expensive as shit when compared to consoles. Hell, just look at /g/'s own Falcon Guide: even the bottom-of-the-barrel "Destitute" build is $224, making it more costly than a 360 and slightly less than a PS3--but with this build, you won't achieve the beautiful, "Beat this, consoles!" settings seen in screenshots. Even worse, the "Enthusiast" build is over $1400. That's WAY more than any current gen console, period. "But those builds are expensive because they last for years!" Not true, which brings us to the next "master race" lie...
- Consoles DO last longer than PC builds. This doesn't even need a winded explanation like the last one: If you try to play a graphically intensive game from 2011 on a 2005 PC, you'll be lucky if you get good framerates on Medium. Meanwhile, a 360 from 2005 can play games from 2011 perfectly. Also consider that console generations, on average, last from 5-10 years. Try playing a 2011 game on a 2001 comp--if you can even get it to run, which is the next bulletpoint...

You guys are all giving gay and retarded reasons, it's all the same with you PC gaming fags, go suck a dic with your old counterstrike games, Black Ops kicks the shit out of that anyways.

You're already using a PC to browse the internet with so that's $300 and another $300 for a console near release, you can build a good PC for $600 and have all of those in the image

I honestly don't get how people use the "More expensive" argument, especially Xbox players, even more so you have to pay again for Call of duty

>>112430084
You better be autistic or trolling.

>>112430138
- PC games are buggier and have more technical problems than their console counterparts. Literally. As in, 100% of the time this is true. "But, but--" No. Stop. This is not up for debate, and for this reason: console gaming is standardized. Every 360 or PS3 game will run perfectly on another 360 or PS3, because they all have exactly the same hardware configuration. While no game is bug free, this means console games are way easier to debug. With PCs, there are near infinite combinations of hardware, making PC games INCREDIBLY hard to debug. Want proof? Go to any support forum for any multiplatform game that's popular on both PC and consoles. Now count the number of problems (not thread, but unique problems) in the PC support section versus the 360 or PS3 section. The PC board has a staggering amount of more problems, every time. This also ties in to the next point:
- Console gaming is less hassle. If you want to play a game on your console, you put it in the disc drive. That's it. It either works or it doesn't. On PC, the "fun" sometimes begins as soon as you install it. The game won't boot! It just crashes to the desktop with no error message shortly after you launch it. Time to play one of the most popular PC games ever: Find the Problem. Did it crash because of a hardware failure or conflict? Are your drivers up to date? Have you downloaded the latest patch? Is something wrong with your installation of Windows? Maybe the registry's fucked up. Maybe your anti-virus or some other software is causing a conflict. Perhaps some pesky DRM is causing the trouble? And all of those potential problems are on top of the possibility of it being a good ol' fashioned overlooked-by-QA bug, something that might have been caused by...

fuck thick headed dumbasses theres plenty of reasons right there

>>112430127

OH THE IRONING

>>112430200
- The PC version being shittier than the console one. This happens A LOT more than the "master race" will ever admit, but it's true. There are simply a ton of games where 360 or PS3 is the lead development console (which makes sense as they're more popular platforms for gaming in terms of sales), leaving PC gamers with the ugly, mildly-retarded incest-born brother of the multiplatform family in the form of a bad port. "Bad port" meaning it could have worse graphics than its console counterparts, worse controls, poor post-release support, etc. And that's if the game is even available for PC, something becoming more and more of a rarity since...
- Developers and publishers are dropping PC left and right. Wonder why Epic doesn't make PC games anymore? Why even Crytek, who was formerly devoted to the PC platform, has hopped on the console bandwagon? This is due to a little something called piracy, a little something that costs the companies making the games you love to play millions of dollars. To paraphrase Cliffy B: "If a PC user is smart enough to install a graphics card, they can pirate a game." And you know what? It's completely true. PC games often sell terribly compared to their console versions, and this is because pirating them is simply easier to do. A PC game can be easily obtained by downloading a torrent or rapidshare and double-clicking a few .exe's, while pirating console games often requires a real monetary investment in the form of a modchip or similar device. These console mods often require technical know-how to install. The gaming population at large doesn't know shit about how to solder or flash their firmware, making it much harder to do. Bottom line, the mere fact that pirating on consoles requires actual effort and investment is also enough to turn many would-be pirates away--meaning a more lucrative market for developers and publishers and more console games from them.

>people actually responding

>>112430234
There you have it, /v/. The truth. You want to know what PC gaming has on consoles? Mods (which are often poorly tested/supported, meaning even MORE potential errors) and keyboard/mouse support. Graphically, some games do look better--"better" being higher resolutions or texture detail--but these are the exception to the rule, on top of requiring builds that, as stated before, are not comparable to consoles in terms of expense. And you have to ask yourself, is it worth it? Are all the hurdles you have to jump and headaches you have to endure worth having some extra notches on the resolution slider?

The Axis powers of the "master race" have foolishly been believing their own lies for years, that if they troll hard enough they can justify paying hundreds of dollars more to do a handful of things slightly better than consoles while doing EVERYTHING else much worse. I should know--I used to be among their ranks, but I saw the light and have repented for my neckbearded ways. It's time to take a stand against their trolling, to take /v/ back from their sausage finger clutches. Join the Allied Console Forces, and free yourself from their lies.

Wrong, you can build a PC that can max every game aside from shit like TW2 and Metro out for under $1000

>Consoles DO last longer than PC builds.

No they don't. When the next gen of consoles comes out, I'll be able to play the multiplats on my PC while you have to buy a new console. Whats that? You want to play older games on a console? Too bad, you can't.

Yeah guys, let's have ENTIRE WARS arguing which platform is better, because GAMING IS SRS BSNS and there are absolutely no better things to do for any of us. Like living a life.

>better online community.
Yeah that's not true, most people playing PC games are elitist assholes. Especially if they have mics.

Generally the idea is that gaming PCs cost more = less kids which = less assholes. Give all those PC gamers mics and you'd have the same thing as xbox with slightly less children, man children would be the same.

Check the text in any PC shooter, it's full of the brightest humanity has to offer.

The only saving grace to the PC community is cost, lack of microphones, and ability to choose your server. The last being the most important. Plenty of asspies on PC.

I've enjoyed my PS3 more than my PC lately, but whatever.

I have a Playstation 3, and a PC I built myself for 800 Dollars.
Saved money on the PC for Tower and Screen, as I got those two from a friend.

Keyboard is a Logitech G19, Mouse is a Razer Diamondback bought a year'ish after I built the PC.
I'm preparing to add more RAM and get a new CPU.

Overall in price though of games, I've used 1000 dollars on PC, 300 dollars on PS3.
Though with the 1000 on my PC, I've bought well over 250 games thanks to Steam package deals.
PS3 is 6 games.

Oh, and I'm probably gonna get a new Graphics card to upgrade from my Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 to the new Nvidia card.

TL:DR
I have a semi-expensive PC with hundreds of games, one PS3 with exclusive games.
Can't be arsed with Wii.

On any shooter it's completely true. Simultaneous superior control over movement, weapon selection, and aim makes it to where mistakes aren't commonplace and thus you have to be better with your strategies. Granted you can get controllers for pc I do agree that consoles excel in certain genres which is why I'm a nintenyearold as well. I don't want to play shitty shooters to take a break from my shootan on pc.

All these threads is PC master race trolling PC master race.

We all have a decent gaming rig, and some have a few consoles. Whether they still enjoy the console games or regret purchasing them varies.

Trolling with the pc/console shit is seemingly more fun than playing a game on any console. And empty pieces of shit they are, with really no depth to offer.

So are they still people only playing Pc games?

Are you guys serious?

The Ps3 is fucking hard to emulate and that one of the consoles with the best exclusiv games...
The Wii has bad graphics but great gameplay and its a good party event console
Even the 360 has good exclusiv games on it...

And the only PC exclusive game this year ( a good one ) was Shogun Total War 2

Look console fags.

PC master race is trying to HELP you, they are lending you a hand.

We are looking from afar how you fucking eat up a muddy terrible sandwich and telling you that over here there's a nice plate of a better thing.

Some of us dabble in eating crap from time to time, because we like to experiment, but aren't you tired of eating the same crap over and over and over again?

We are lending you a hand in letting you know you are fucking up.

Why have a console + a pc + a media center when you can have a highly superior alternative that with proper care will last for quite a while. The investment put into a decent pc is not just for gaming. You can, perhaps, do useful stuff too!
Like reading, watching movies, writing office papers, managing a decent family photo collection, hosting a friend server to play minecraft, drop your cable company and jump into newgen streamed television, etc.

But alright, you will never learn.

last time I tried to run some PC game I had to spend 3 hours on:

>installing the game that involved several disc swapping
>looking up on the internet why the game doesnt work
>finding newest graphics card drivers
>installing them
>installing them again with 640x400 resolution and 4 bit color depth (they didnt install properly)
>meddling with settings so the game would run smoothly

and still the game suffers from many frequent framerate drops.

Every time i fire it up i have so much fucking, untouched, primal, pure FUN.
I would have the same amounts of fun with SC2 if that games wasn't so impossibly tryhard and based on PERFECTLY TIMING your builds IF YOU MESS UP EVEN ONE STEP YOU'RE FUCKED.

Good TV + Console = $1500

don't worry about computer monitor since they last longer than a tv anyway.. then we can throw some additional costs onto consoles such as online gaming for Xbox etc.. Costs keep going up.. PC stays the same. PC has more capabilities, can do my work on my PC do my emails etc etc...

Console gaming holds back the entire game industry.. Console games have been pushing the limits of the technology almost since their release, gaming has been limiting its technology to cope with the shit technology inside consoles.. HENCE WHY THEY ARE SO FUCKING CHEAP NOW..

Why do they call it the XBOX 360? because you do Three 60 degree turns and walk away.. and fuck the ps3.. Yo casual fags are getting ridden with the glorious cock of ignorance into oblivion..

Actually, when EA released their sale numbers on consoles, PC's won.
And the PC gaming community is GROWING, not becoming smaller.
Oh, and see >>112431477 for exclusives.

Keyboard and mouse have crushed the gamepad for PS3 and Xbox on several occasions when it comes to FPS gaming, however, when it comes to platform gaming, I can agree that using a gamepad is better.
But PC's can use those as well, so no points to consoles there.

Piracy have been proclaimed as not being a big of a problem as pre-owned sales.
LionHead and the dudes who made Heavy Rain, said that Piracy have never made them loose as much potential profit as second hand sales have done.

Hackers and cheaters are extremely rare to see now a days in ANY multiplayer oriented games.
I have personally not seen one for 4-5 years now.

>>112431980
>hackers/cheaters

FYI, I have encountered more hackers/cheaters playing on my 360 for 2 years than a lifetime of PC gaming.

I was gonna buy new graphics card and power supply for 300 dollars just to improve the performance on a single game. Then I thought, hmmm i could get RAGE, Dark Souls, Gears of War 2, and Deus ex: HR with that kind of money. No wonder you pcfags are always so depressed. You are missing so much

I love pc's but that argument is retarded bullshit. Claiming that it's not fucking amazing that they can run games with 1/4 of the hardware specs as they do on pc is stupid. Granted a large portion of the problem with pc's wasted potential is windows bloated asshole of an os that for some faggoty reason dominates the market it's still good for everybody that the optimization going on with is a hopeful trend that will happen with pc. I'd like to be able to run fallout 3 with 1/4 the ram the minimum specs reports on pc.

>flash their firmware
>install graphic card
>one is harder than the other

I've built a couple of pc's, and I've also flash my 360's firmware.

I'm not saying that building a pc is anywhere near "hard" or that, but flashing my 360's firmware is the easiest thing I've ever done.

It's literally just "insert wire, press button, take wire out".

Then again, that is exactly what installing a graphic card is, except you don't take out the wire in the end.

I've also got a ps3 and wii that both are able to play pirated games as well, yarr harr motherfuckers

Oh, the technical advances they've made to optimize stuff for consoles is quite outstanding, don't get it wrong, but what about, you know, perhaps spending a little bit of time optimizing for PC. They spend so much time doing it for console that when they do the port they just don't care.

>>112432375
I'm so sorry you're poor.

Do you know why it's called the Master Race?

Because we don't fucking get "headaches" trying to figure shit out - you faggots that do just end up going back to consoles, hence "Former PC Gamer".

Guess what? It's really not that complicated. Building a PC from scratch is easy - if you have an attention span long enough to do some simple research and can plug in a few cords.

All the "problems" you listed are pathetic.
>Did it crash because of a hardware failure or conflict?
Rarely happens. In fact, I've never even heard of this happening.
>Are your drivers up to date?
If you're serious about gaming, this really should not be an issue. Are you fucking retarded?
>Have you downloaded the latest patch?
Does this really require that much effort?
>Is something wrong with your installation of windows?
Lol, what? I run a pirated version of Windows 7 and this has NEVER hap- you know what? Fuck you, that's a bullshit excause.
>Maybe the registry's fucked up.
Confirmed troll.
>Maybe your anti-virus or some other software is causing a conflict.
Yea, if you're using Norton or some shit like a shit tier PC gamer
>Perhaps some pesky DRM is causing the trouble?
Haha. Never heard of this happening.

Then why don't you just upgrade your videocard and PSU then buy games at 1/10th the price?
You can even use your xbox controller and enjoy the games at the highest possible detail with the feel of a controller.

>>112432816

The only reason i would upgrade at this point would be just for BF3, everything else I play would run just fine. But spending 300 for just BF3 would just be a waste. Plus i got used to playing on low settings.

>>112432699
>good job
>can't buy games AND computer parts

Yeah, sure.
I'm a piss poor student and I'm still able to buy my parts, bought all the consoles and get games on all platforms.

Oh, but that could be because I'm not lying my anonymous ass off on the Internet but I really go to work 2-3 months every summer which nets me enough money for my hobbies.

Stop being a lazy ass and get a job you pathetic poorfag.

At any given moment I can choose from the original Quake, Simcity 3000 Unlimited, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Baldur's Gate, most anything from the X-COM series, Morrowind, Black & White, in addition to every game inbetween up to present day.

Console gamers get the hits of today
I get the hits of the better part of videogame history.

I find it funny how console users' main(and pretty much only) argument is their exclusives. They continuously boast about their what, couple of good exclusives? I agree that games like Dark/Demon Souls, Bayonetta, RDR are great. But most of the exclusives you guys get are shooters and movie games. Meanwhile the PC has entire exclusive genres like RTS, MMO, and Grand Strategy. And "PC gaming is dead"? With those huge tournaments for LoL, Starcraft, Counterstrike, and eventually Dota 2? Yeah, right.

>implying every single MOBA game ever made isn't the exact same no-skill crapfrest

Better hardware
No subscription fees
Useful for things other than games
Indie games, and you already listed twenty of them.

You mad console peasents?
Can still play last gen or even older games.

I can still think of five things you didn't list that are perfectly good reasons to buy a PC,

It's just what you start out with. If you start out on console, you're going to be a console guy.

>Make argument against PC gaming
>Completely leave out the fact that PCs are a lot more than just gaming machines

To be perfectly honest, you should only really factor in the cost of a new graphics card when comparing the cost of PC gaming to console gaming. Most people with consoles have PCs too, and provided its not some ancient shitbox, you should just be able to slap a real graphics card in and away you go.

Good thing I don't give a fuck about these genres, I'll just be playing superior genres on my consoles

>>112429891
Don't need to keep disks
Programmes like Steam and Origin that create an easier way to find and get games.
You can pirate if you want.
Broader range of games in comparison to consoles.
Hardware isn't outdated.
You can watch porn on your PC.
You can play a game - without a disk - and use your disk tray as a cup holder.
A PC isn't just for games, you can do other shit too.
Less prone to break, easier to fix.

I can't be arced to think of anymore but those arguable aren't anything to do with OP's list.

>>112430138
Console + PC (everyone needs a fucking PC) = about $800
Just a PC, but a good quality gaming one = about $800, probably can go less if you know what you're doing

Now get the fuck out stupid nigger

>PC
>More mature player base

I've been playing games on the PC since I was 10

Played Call of Duty 1 professionally for my sponsors

Same with 2

Always played a range of genres from RTS to FPS to RPG to MMO

The notion that the PC player base is more mature is retarded

Every game I've played is filled with screaming little butt plugs who take hissy fits if they don't win

Not to say that console is any better
Played CS

can someone post the picture of the upcoming 2011 exclusives list for each console? it would be very appreciated!

How about these:
>only gets big blockbuster titles and none of the hear and soul that is platformers, traditional shooters, and jrpg's
>no local multiplayer so you dont have to play and have fun with normal people, only other raging autists at lan parties
>carpel tunnel sydrome.
>No Nintendo, sega, konami, and capcom on pc is a joke.
>ten million first person shooters per month

Yeah, faggots. PC rules.

Sigh, always the same bullshit on /v/. I have a PC and a PS3 lying around. I like my PC, I can play the games that I want.... The skill level required is usually a bit higher, the faster gameplay is more my style and the variety of games is larger. I only play on my PS3 when I want to relax and just play a quick round, judging from the dust on top of it that has been a long long time. I know it's A LOT cheaper (Fuck off, I'm an avid PC gamer but PC gaming IS more expensiver) and easier mostly. Still, games that are designed for the consoles and also ported to the PC... Plenty of them, but for me they are just more fun on the PC. A bit more direct, a bit more immersion.. I mean, Battlefield 3... I'm upgrading my rig to play BF3 mostly, but then I'll play a lot of other titles also and I'll have a great rig to do whatever the fuck I want. Certainly expensive, but I could simply never care about playing it on the PS3. I want to be on Teamspeak, I want to type, I want to have the whole package with decent adminning and everything. I don't want to press Quick Play and get bored after one round because console games play so freaking slow

I think game stop has cheaper games than steam on average meaning you dont have to make a quick decision for the steam sale of the day. (in other words they are cheaper on average unless steam has a sale)I think that sort of cancels out the notion that pc games are cheaper. Also if you buy a pc game you can't return it or trade it in.

I don't give a fuck what you play. I enjoy PCs more, and that's my personal opinion. Have fun with your console, bro.

At the end of the line, the thing is, that if you know what you are doing, you'll get so much more out of a PC it's not even funny, and if you have lower standards and can't be arsed to learn how to make things work, you can settle for console games.

I don't even know you people are arguing about, since the matter is obvious.

Last time I saw one of these I said that the picture invalidates the argument. Didn't really get into that because I'd be wasting my time. Maybe in the next inevitable thread I'll explain.

Just play on whatever platform best suits your needs. There's no reason to get up in arms about it.

>Reminding me of the current state of WC3 custom games.
Fuck you, sir.

Weird, wtf are you guys talking about? I've got an xbox360 controller for my pc? Why would I need a console? I can play every fucking game that comes out, I have the advantages of both console AND pc while I don't own a console (except for the wii).

>>112433463
Enjoying Dark Souls?


oh wait

>>112433551
Lol.. wow. That's so bad.. I can't play Dark Souls, now I have to get a console? You won't have that much time anyway to play ALL good titles, but are there really some must have titles that are exclusively released on console? I think not.

>>112433175
No. FUCK you. You HAVE to choose. PC or PS3. Throw the other in the garbage. Anything less and you're a traitor to someone. NO COMPROMISES!

>>112433754
Im just giving a recent example buddy, Im feeling pretty sorry for you if that helps

>>112433827
tbh I haven't even heard of that game before you mentioned it. But let's be honest: Is a console worth buying exclusively for some games or can you get those games on PC most of the time too? With the exception of the Wii (most exclusive titles) I wouldn't say yes.
