Ok lets not get into bashing, all I want is your personal pros. and cons. I know lots of us are PC (or Mac) and Console gamers so we get the best of both but what do you think makes the best ?
PC
Pros:
THE MOUSE
RTS (see mouse)
FPS (again, see mouse)
if you know how, it will save you tonns of time and do loads of work for you
sometimes portable (I also have a Laptop thats great for WC3 and Couterstrike)
has been high dev since the 90s
Cons:
THE PRICE
constant updating of hard and software (see price)
will break down when in bad mood (well mine does.... I usually can fix it within a day but its nerveracking)
lacks platformers and adventure games...
lacks games that 2-4 players can play on one screen
Consoles:
Pros:
the Price (compared to a top PC)
no need to update for at least 4-5 years
very easy to use
no installation
lots games are made specifically for the systems
great one-screen multiplayer games
Cons:
for all the games you need all the consoles
longer loading times
stuck with hardware till next genration
some games are hard to play with a gamepad
fanboys
My personal winner:
Multifunctionality: PC, it does everything
Gameplay: PC, Mouse and Keyboard are still Nr.1 for FPS and RTS everything else can use a gamepad... lest see if over time the Wii can change this.
Game selection: Consoles, they have great games form every area of gaming
Graphics: PC, you do the math
Bang for your Buck: Consoles, (somewhat)cheap and a long lifetime
Results: PC winns with a very little advantage over consoles
So what do you think ??? I know I forgot tonns of stuff but those where the things that matter most for me, please don´t give me the same old Console A is da shiznitch or only a platform with game B can be good. Think about your personal Pros and Cons and what you look for in a gaming system, if you don´t like RTSs than they are not a contra point for consoles, if you hate the internet its not a pro for PCs....
