| Squilliam said: I have some better ones: 5. Portability. You can take your gaming on the road or on the couch, your choice (Even on the toilet!). Much better than a handheld and a console, because a handheld is too lightweight too carry it around in contrast to a small 4kg gaming laptop and playing on a couch with a 15-17" screen is more enjoying than playing on the tv. 4. Flexibility. If you don't like something you can change it, try that with a console game. Mods can make for a personalised experience. You know what you want, and chances are someone else does too so mod away! And most mods which substantially change things in those games release only 1-3 years after the game, so you have nothing to do other than getting the game (see point 3 + 1) and wait a bit. 3. Dozens of free games to play. Try games like Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2 for free. 2. Technological Prowess. You don't like jaggies in your favourite game? Kill them! You want a faster frame-rate, buy a new graphics card for the price of one console every 12 months. And if you have a laptop, you don't even have to bother changing your graphic card, just buy a new laptop. With a console you'll invest once per gen and can put your money in good software. 1. Direct Download + cheaper games. You're a hardcore gamer and you buy a lot of games? Great you can download a lot of games for free and you can play them without disc checks. So watch out for Steam sales, torrent sites and fill up that hard-drive! |
Fixed the things you wanted to add but were too lazy, so you don't have to edit your post yourself ;)
Anyway.. of course i still need a gaming PC, i still gotta do some excel/word/working stuff to do at home.
