| Some of the cons of PC gaming in comparison to console gaming: - updating games manually and in the foreground - meanwhile gaming is not (really) possible - installing games take quite a lot of time - updating drivers of hardware like graphics card, CPU - for quite a few users some games are sometimes not playable at launch, so they have to wait days or even weeks and months(!) until the game developer and/or graphics card manufacturer provides an update resp. driver - dealing with problems despite high-end hardware and spending much time searching for workarounds and maybe not finding none - searching for the optimal graphics settings - managing background processes, searching for a "game killer" process That's just a few problems coupled with PC gaming, which can often take way too much time as I personally also play on PC and experienced them not too seldom. Also note: Many of those problems would be not resolvable for a gamer who is not that into tech. |
Are you really going to try and claim consoles don't have issues with new games, hardware or internet connections?! Because I think the entire last gen of consoles would like to have a word with you. RROD, Blue light of death, Activision... EA Games.
Just some of the problems a lot of console gamers have experienced and keep experiencing.
A simple google with PS3/360 issues will you give a shitload of problems to choose from. And none of them are seldom.
So while I do agree with PC's requiring more time and effort with installations and such I definitely do not agree that consoles are a lot more trouble free.
That used to be the case when consoles were just that, consoles. Now though they're basically budget PC's. And although they work off a closed OS and run games tailored for their hardware they do run into trouble.
