| Nettles said: The driver side of PC hardware is alot easier than it was 15 years ago when there was still many on dial up.Nowdays it's all automatic updates with a dedicated exe launcher instead of having to trawl the web looking for 100kb non executable driver files that you had to install manually with the add/remove hardware tool in control panel. Plus nowdays if you have any pc related problem theres a youtube video telling you how to fix it.Most of these anti-PC arguments are very outdated. |
the simplicity advantadge goes far beyond drivers (which are far more complex on pc). a console just works, works out of the box, knows when it needs updates, updates itself, and will always work no matter what i do.
pcs however won't always work. about twice a year i had to clean up another virus or software conflict that made my parent-in-laws computer unusable. it was easy enough for me but most people are not computer savy. i know you are someone else will try to claim it is sooo easy but i'll bet you pay someone else to change the oil on your car dispite the fact that changing oil is waaay easier than maintaining a pc. point is,.. for 80+% of people the "super easy" action of maintaning a pc is out of the skill level (or just interest).
hell, i'm typing this from my tablet because i hate using my laptop these days. that fucker crashes all the time and i still can't figure out why.
anyways, at OP: i also hate keyboard and mouse. worst controls ever. that and my house simply has no room for a computer room. i either game on my tv or not at all and pc looks like shit on a tv. ...either that or i can't figure out the right drivers to get my old pc to output at 1080p. it keeps only gives me odd options that aren't even the right ratio.
anyways, yay for the guys that love pc gaming but i hate everything about it. if not for consoles i'd quit gaming.
