but isn't that PC just glorious though? XD

Kinda sorta. As consoles move towards a more connected, service-oriented setup, it has become increasingly less clear the extent in which people own their consoles, or games that involve online features. Though I think the situation is still superior to the PC, in which some games I just can't play at all without being connected to some sort of service I have no control over. Unless I crack the software, which I think might be acceptable as long as I don't try to give/sell cracked copies to another person (definitely illegal). Either way, I suppose gaming in general is becoming even more of hassle. I liked it better back when I could play games without thinking about things like DRM, forced online activities, and borderline illegal practices.

I just hope that international law finally catches up to the digital age at this point.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. I'm talking about console games PC's cannot emulate.  I know that there's always the "possibility" to emulate them, but not all of them are presently possible.  I am including those into the list of games consoles have that PC's don't.  

Oh, i see what your saying...

I mean... your wrong, but I see what your sayiing.

Though it seems kinda silly to count ALL consoles together, rather then whatever you would consider to be the single strongest console in that regard.

The rest of the point stands though.  I can think of only about 2 games on consoles that don't have PC equivlents, while there are whole genres that don't exist on consoles.  Let alone a specific one.

Reasons 3 and 4 are the main reasons i jumped into PC gaming. The freedom of gaming on the PC opens up so many opportunities. Just look at games like Minecraft or ARMA 2/ Day Z and you'll see what I mean. But after the initial cost of the PC itself, gaming is just superior there although it will never stop me from gaming on Playstation, due to the friends i've made there and all the exclusive games on there

This....If it was cheaper, easier, and more consumer freindly, then most gamers would've been gaming more on PC including myself. Most gamers just don't have the time and especially money to fiddle with a maching that can output similair games in higher graphics and processing power. Technology wise its there but comercially in the financial sense, is not for the average consumer. I know my PC with it's i5 cpu probably can't render some games without some moddification. But it wouldn't hurt if I tried.

Well, I have both a PS3 and a PC to play games on but if I had to pick just one right now it'd be my PS3 because most of the games I like are only available on consoles or only on PS3.

This is my list of PS3 games:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots, God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII, Nier, Bayonetta, Yakuza 3, Vanquish, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Resonance of Fate, Shadows of the Damned, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, Heavy Rain, Devil May Cry HD Collection, Yakuza 4, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Resident Evil 6.

How many of those games can I play if I switched to PC only right now? besides, there are some games that I want to buy and still haven't like Asura's Wrath, Dragon's Dogma, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Yakuza: Dead Souls, etc that also are only on consoles and I'm waiting for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Beyond: Two Souls, Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, Yakuza 5 and I don't remember anything else, lol.

I'm more of a console gamer than a PC gamer mainly because of my taste in video games and the lack of availability of games that I like on PC.


If all those games, or the majority of them were on PC, I'd be a PC gamer :P I'd prefer playing all those games on PC, Playing Resident Evil 5 on PC "maxed out" in 1920x1080@60FPS with a PS3 Controller feels much better than playing it on PS3... I just wish the Gold Edition was available on PC though :S oh, and Devil May Cry 4 on PC is just glorious, I just don't need the PS3 version of that one because it doesn't have any extras... not even trophies.


Well, in short, I prefer consoles right now. But I'd most probably prefer PC if the games I like were available on it.

This is how I feel about it as well. I like PC for stuff like mods, but i could never leave PS3 because of it's games and the friends i made over there. I couldn't give up games like Yakuza or Metal gear solid or most PS3 exclusives for that matter

But this works both ways depending on where you're looking for games.  

It's not really about having equivalents, too.  There are genres that PCs do better than consoles, but there are definitely genres that consoles do better than PCs. 

Also, I am not sure which genres you're referring to that do not exist.  MMORPG exists on consoles.  I am sure MOBA and RTS games both exist on consoles as well.  
I don't think I can be wrong on the main point I was making though.  That point comes down to my personal taste in games just being more readily available in console form (and is much more convenient and tends to play way better on consoles).  I doubt you really can say that I don't know what I'm talking about when I had taken a 5 year period time away from console gaming and went only PC.  I know a lot of what kind of games the PCs have, but I also know that there are a huge number of games the PC do not have of this generation and last generation, and some even from the generation before that due to anti-piracy stuff.  That, or some games are just not very well known (and some good games are).  

Cause piracy is only avaible on PC right...
