One of the other good things about consoles unlike PC gaming is the fact that you don't have to worry about bad porting or poor performance.
For example, I want to play Fable on my xbox. I have the disk ready to go, put it in the console, and everything works perfectly. Im good to go.
Then there's Fable: The Lost Chapters for the PC. I get it from Steam and decide to download it. The downloading doesnt take long because of my most of the time great Internet and super special awesome PC gaming Desktop. Once thats finished, I start to play it, and then it takes me to a screen that says (video and audio hardware error) or something like that. It didn't play any of the cutscnes and every time I try to play, the lip sync was off and the voices most of the time didn't work. And even if it did work, the voices would whisper.
So I do everything that I can to fix it and troubleshoot it. I look on forums, I look for guidance,cand still TO DO THIS DAY, I can't get fable the lost chapters to work on my PC gaming machine that is able to play Crisis 1 and 2 ON NEAR MAX SETTINGS!
This is why I don't blame people for liking consoles over PC gaming. Because PC Gaming is a freaking ***** to deal with. I mean just look at what PC Gaming has to deal with:
PC Gaming:
-Hopefully the port is not that bad.
-hopefully my computer can handle playing the game.
-Hopefully this game doesn't crash on me for the 100th time.
-Hopefully if this game for some reason doesn't work for me, hopefully I can get some answers from various forums or something.
Consoles:
-no worrying about bad ports, or the possibility of the console not being able to handle it, or troubleshooting the game, it 95% if not 100% works all the freaking time with very little to no problems.
Down side for consoles? Graphically capability...yeah like people REALLY give a crap about these days. Oh and controller options. That I understand. Even though some people like the OP just can't stand to use the keyboard/mouse instead of a controller but the PC has that option over it so thats true.
Point being, I feel for the OP, PC Gaming is either great one day or horrible the next day. While consoles are consistency pretty good.
