Lol yeah, I totally only own a computer and no game console because I'm a poor, and definitely not because I have better things to spend my money on, such as collectibles from Japanese superhero shows.

Or maybe some people aren't inconsiderate pricks who hog the TV in the living room so they can play games. Seriously, no one wants to watch you play video games.

Except no one ever wants to see or hear another person playing games. In a separate room, wearing headphones, on a PC is the way to go if you're not an inconsiderate douchebag. It's the entertainment equivalent of jacking off in front of other people. No one wants to see or hear it.

Also having consoles in the living room as an adult makes you look like a pathetic manchild.

Fo reals. I don't even remember the last time I had a compatibility issue.

Steam has saved me some mad :10bux:

edit: gently caress, I can't even remember the last time I didn't play a game on full setting either. The PC I built 4 years ago has been a champ.

Pretty much this. PC games these days tend to just work. PC hardware is super powerful compared to consoles and even midrange stuff will often max out games. And Steam is cheap as hell. We pay like 1/6 what console gamers pay for their games. It's like the people typing some of this poo poo haven't experience PC gaming in like 10-15 years.

Because console gaming is a better experience.

It's just that simple.

Are PC games cheaper in the long run? Yes. Do they have better graphics? Usually. Are PC gamers tremendous shitlords? Yes.

But it's really just a better experience on a console. You have a more comfortable environment. The games that crossover between platforms are made for consoles. PC is an afterthought. The things that are only on PCs would suck on consoles, anyway. The console friendly stuff isn't as fun on a PC.

Also, gaming with a mouse/keyboard is utter poo poo compared to a controller.

dearest pc gamers, although you have autism and are likely very angry due to the serious chaffing on your virgin self-abused penises, it would behoove you to stfu about how other people play video games because despite your well reasoned arguments nobody loving cares.

FPSs which are all the rage on consoles right now suck donkey dong with a controller. They're basically uncontrollable without tons of autoaim. They control flawlessly with a keyboard and mouse.

Also no strategy games on consoles. Some of us enjoy games that actually make us think, and don't just want to watch stupid movie type games that are barely interactive, which is most of what you have on consoles because you can't actually control anything with a controller.

Yeah, but why when you can use a glorious mouse/keyboard? Also, at that point, why not just play on a console. The glory days of PC gaming are long gone. Unfortunately the PC gamer whining is much louder due to the internet soapbox.
