PC graphics vs Console graphics

Look, with PCs you get what you pay for and yes it's not as simple as a console. Fucking duh. But if you are willing to put down a little extra money (not nearly as much as console fans like to think though) and actually know what you're doing, PCs blow consoles out of the water in terms of graphics, and smoothness, as well as longevity on account of prevalent modding. But yes, you do have to pay a little more, and yes you have to know how to use one. There are an abundance of PC gamers that don't have their systems crash, and bugs, and incompatibility issues. It's because they are PC gamers, and you're doing it wrong.

Just like people say Blu-ray and PS3 and a HD TV and 7.1 surround are top of the line as far as consoles go, and yeah you can buy a cheap ass wii and play on your SDTV for way less, but you get what you pay for. Not everybody cares or wants blu-ray, a PS3 and HDTV and a receiver for the speakers and all the other equipment, alot of people are obviously very happy with a wii and SDTV, but all that other stuff is there if you are an enthusiast that wants to put the time and money into it in order to get the absolute best.

PC is the same damn thing. Yes you have to upgrade, you have to know what you're doing, and you have to want it. If you don't great, go enjoy whatever you have. But if for some reason you want to play the latest games in 1080p at 60 frames a second with improved textures, shading and geometry that option is there. So don't act like that option is somehow inferior, that's just dumbass.

Please dont pretend like PC gaming is smooth and those crashes happen to only amateurs or newbees. I've been using PCs for twenty years since the very early inception x386 (after a smooth transition from Amiga to PC platform), and the PCs are a must for me. I dislike macs but desperately miss my Amiga days. PC is a must, and have no freaking intention to leave it, but You dont need to be a PC fanboy! There isnt a single period in PC gaming that I havent met lots of unnecessary and stupid crashes. Its not only "a little" more expensive, far more exensive than console gaming (if you buy the PC for only or mostly for gaming). Just try to use the same old PC for games which you bought 3 years back, and compare the gaming experience, for God's sake.

Its not only pricing only. There are too much hassle to it. Everytime that I install a game on my PC, I am worried about the stability of the whole system. There are multiple times that I had to format the whole system and lost various precious data, documents etc. Luckily being much older and more experienced now, I rarely fall into such loopholes and thats why I have several PCs, one reserved strictly for business, and one for gaming purposes.
