PC games may push graphics, but can they compete with the diversity, reliability, durability, variety, and Mr. T of console gaming? 2) I'm not a PC gamer, aside from a few flash games. If there's a PC gamer, maybe they can enlighten me. My opinion is that the VERY BEST may be on PC's but the MOST fun will always be found on consoles. |
1) They can compete quite easily. On the PC you have the largest back catalogue of games from the widest range of genres, especially if you include emulation. When you get a new console, there is no gaurantee it'll be backwards compatable with previous games, and they will usually charge you again for digital downloads of games you're probably already bought. For certain genres (namely FPS, TPS and RTS) the PC keyboard and mouse combo is unbeatable. For others you can connect a 360 or 3rd-party controller. The biggest problem with PC gaming is optimisation, and drivers etc. but they're always workwrounds.
2) PCs have the same library as consoles for the most part + a whole bunch of extra games NOT available on consoles. You can find a lot of fun games on the PC. I have more actual fun playing PC games then console games (and I've played both for most of my life), and the experiences I've had playing PC games are easily among the very the best gaming experiences I've had in gaming.
