Poll: Do you prefer gaming on your console or pc

[Hunter65416]

I personally prefer console gaming because i dont have to worry about detail vs framerate but mostly because i can be slouched on my couch (with a bag of maltesers) which (unless youve got a good gaming laptop and even then its a little bit claustrophobic)you cant do on a pc. I defiantly love pc gaming but my only pc games are pc exclusives like starcraft II and crysis and fps games ofcourse.

I like playing on both, however lately i've been playing my PC alot more than my PS3. So PC i guess.

Eh, it really depends on the game.
RTS, I prefer using my PC. FPS, some on PC, some on console (I found L4D2 to be unplayable on PC, whereas I played the hell out of it on the 360. Didn't seem to control quite right on the PC version.)
Driving, I haven't played on PC, so console gets that. Tower defence games, PC.
The list goes on. I have no real preference.

pc and i can eat chips drink coke and play l4d at the same time so you sir just need to get better at your eating and gaming skills

I prefer my PC. I feel more at home with a mouse and a keyboard than I do with a controller and I just love modding and customizing my games.

 

[DanielBrown]

Depends on the game, but at the moment I play more console than PC so I went with that option.
Prefer FPS and MMO's on the PC. Got a fair number of FPS for my consoles as well however.

PC, because of Steam

but can you zone out on the couch but yeah i agree that pc gets the fps award hands down, i have no call of duty or battlefield type fps games on my xbox

I usually play on my PC, but I find playing on the console to be much more comfortable and relaxing since there is a couch involved.

 

[VargRaev]

I prefer Consoles... i just dont have one...

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

I prefer the PC. Mostly because the games I tend to love are best played on PC.

PC, if the game is best played with a keyboard and mouse (RTS, RPG, FPS!!), console if it plays well with a controller. racers in particular. though I still find the adventure shooters enjoyable, like uncharted. but I still can't stand strait FPS with a controller.

I prefer consoles to PCs. Mainly because once you buy a console every game for that console is now playable. However, with PCs, you have to check to see if your computer has the stats for it, and then there's upgrading...

I also prefer controllers to mouse and keyboard.

Of course, sometimes computers are better. I'd never play a strategy game on a console. Also Steam has increased the number of games I play on my PC, even if I'd normally prefer the game on a console.

I prefer Computer games in general... It's mostly because I'm not limited to play games in 720p stretched on a 1080p display. Plus when it comes to multiplayer, I prefer all the options PC games offer compared to consoles.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Usually PC because I don't have to pay 60$ (usually) for a new game. :\

 

[D0WNT0WN]

I prefer consoles mostly I dont have the money to upgrade to play a newer game.

Consoles. My PC is rubbishly terrible and can only just about run Homeworld, anything else is too much for it. But I prefer consoles anyway - I was raised playing shooters on them, so I find the controller better than the mouse+WASD for them. Most other game genres (apart from RTS and point-click adventures, both of which require - require I say, don't bring up any of this console RTS bullcrap - a mouse) I think work better on console, though I may be forgetting some. And don't say "just buy a controller for your PC" - what's the point, when you have a console which already has a controller attached?

Consoles are also way easier to use. I've lost count of the threads I've encountered on here with some guy saying "Help, this game doesn't work" and getting loads of responses consisting entirely of incomprehensible computer jargon. PC geeks who like to tinker around with their machine might like this, but I don't as I am useless with computers and understand nothing about them. Oh, and then there's the way you don't have to install a game before playing it on a console, so no faffing about with CD keys or selecting exactly the right options. And then there's the lack of Ubisoft-style DRM on consoles (I think), and the way my 360 gets the Halo games...

I prefer console. I like controllers more than keyboard and mouse and my PC is pretty crap. I would play strategy games on the PC if I could run them.

 

[natster43]

Console because I don't play many PC games any more. Though once I go to college I may buy a Gaming PC.
