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.

Ban OP.

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.

They control like poo poo with a keyboard and mouse. Oh look, I just turned around faster than the speed of light. They are much smoother on consoles.

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.

That's what your phone is for.

Trying to play an FPS with thumbsticks is like being a palsy victim doing brain surgery with a pipe wrench.

I'm sorry you have such poor hand/eye coordination. Do you punch yourself in the balls when you jack off?

Moving and aiming with two analog sticks is actually MUCH easier than with a mouse/keyboard.

Did you know that you can use a controller with a pc?

You can.

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.

I know you're a troll but on the off-chance someone doesn't know a lot of games like platformers and 3rd person action romps really do control better with a controller., so you get the better control and still have all the awesome customization/optimization options of a PC.


This is how I know you're a troll.

------------------------------

As my above points prove I'm a big supporter of PC gaming and all that, but then I look at reddit and I see this...



:ughh: God-loving-dammit children.

Which is a big part of the reason I am so pro console now. PC Gamers are the worst.

Another Console pro: game sharing. Can't really do that with PCs any more.
Ultimately, for me, playing a game sitting on a couch is a lot more fun than sitting at a desk. Playing on a 55 inch screen is better than a 24. Playing with surround sound and a nice subwoofer is better than with my, very nice, computer speakers.

Also, I can play GTA V. And Journey. And Nintendo games.

I think my favorite thing about PCmasterracers is that they don't seem to realize that most console gamers also have a PC but just prefer the better setup. The PC people just have to go on and on and on and on about how they are so great to people who already have exactly the same things and more on the console side. It's pretty funny, really. Also, incredibly easy to get wound up.

This is a good honeypot thread, OP. Good job!

The best game of the past 10 years is currently only playable on a PS3. It should be out on PS4 soon.

No plans to ever port it to PC, which is unfortunate. It's such a landmark achievement it really should be shared across all platforms but Sony doesn't seem to understand this.

The best thing about Dark Souls is when you hear someone going on about how great it is you know you can ignore every single thing that person ever says and be a better person for it.

I like how he uses Bioshock Infinite as an example of a good game.

It's terrible. LIke, really really bad. Especially in comparison to the other games in its own series.
