Like a PC cannot achieve the exact same thing, and do it cheaper, and better?

cmon man!

I don't understand this obsession with couch gaming. I have a perfectly comfortable chair, and really I would rather use that.

yep, perfectly understandable

Consoles have a convenience and simplicity that PC's don't

They also have some titles made only for them

2 very viable reasons to use a console


people trying to invent these other reason are full of shit though

Urc Burry 01-17-2014 05:25 PM

Yep... to each their own. I guess you could say PC's are better for reasons listed, but I will always have a preference of consoles.

Neither do I

I game on my PC in the same place on the same TV I use for my PS3 your gaming set up is what you make it to be. You can make your PC gaming just as comfy as console gaming

Try playing a FPS with a controller and no aim assist against other gamers using a mouse.

It isn't fun.

On a console, every single iota of your user experienced is designed to be controlled.



Well what about Steam? I have to wait a certain amount of time for a game to drop in price.

That sucks.

Ahh yeah that's another good point. I actually bought the PS4. I was always an xbox guy, and I think I might of made a mistake. Thinking about getting out of the PS4 and going back. That titan fall game looks sick.

No kidding.

If PS4 let me hook a mouse and keyboard in I would buy one.

Don't know what? That your self-righteous banter about the "purity" of PC gaming is hilarious?

If you don't believe that PC and PC OS manufacturers are actively seeking to get more money from you in the same way console makers are you're either in denial or completely naive.
