Poll: PC gaming or Console gaming and why?

[Gearek]

Which do you prefer, PC Gaming or Console Gaming, and why?

 

[joystickjunki3]

I find myself gravitating toward consoles. Probably because I find it easier to keep up on. And I really do like gamepads and arcade sticks.

It's not that I don't game on my PC as well, it's just that I do it less. Sitting on a couch/beanbag/etc. to shoot some zombies is more relaxing and enjoyable to me then huddling up to a monitor.

EDIT: But I feel very accomplished when the sun rises and I realize that I had been playing Quake III or StarCraft all night.

 

[Shapsters]

I'm almost certain this has been done.

OT, console. Because I prefer the feel of analogue sticks under my thumbs to mouses under my fingers.

And my computer can't really run anything decent anyway.

This, I like the feeling of a controller in my hands and I never really used my computer due to lack of hardware. Why clog up my computer when I can just play on my TV?

PC, because it is cheaper in the long run (come on, console-game prices are sky-high compared to PC-game prices).

Also, playing a FPS on a gamepad is NOT that fun as it is on a PC.

Console: Sitting on my couch with a controller and a nice big TV is better than sitting at my desk 2 feet from the screen. That, plus I think console exclusives are better than PC exclusives, IMO.

PC, because I like to be able to do stuff other than game.
I am a multitasker.

Furthermore, I like good controls.

Addendum: This will not end well.

Exactly the same here. WSAD and a mouse, to me, is much more accurate than a controller. Though I guess it comes back to what you grew up with, how you started etc. I started with PC and have always prefered it.

I guess it depends on the game. I usually use a console but to a game, for example, like StarCraft I want a pc. However, the main reason I game on a console is because usually my computer will always lag and then I have to lower the graphics to crap. Plus just having a lot of games on my computer always slows it down even if I'm not playing a game.

GASP! I just had a flash of awesome. I also like a controller in my hand for the rumble feature. (I'm a loser. I know) They should make a rumble keyboard!.....jk

PC..More bang for your buck, so to speak.
I feel quite stupid for saving up for a 360. Still inextricably bound to the family computer. And paying for overpriced games. ><

Console. Like PC hasnt had any recent games that ive found interesting. I got a 8800 GTX when they came out and tbh all I still do on my PC is play the same old things.. TF2 or CS or CoD4. My old videocard and computer could play them fine so I just feel I wasted money on the card when its potential is barely used (its pretty much out of date now).

I sit infront of a computer all day at work and the last thing I want to do is play a PC game at night. I just feel like im doing something different when playing a console and lying on my bed..

Both. PC for LotRO (I just can't imagine playing an MMO on a console without keyboard) and Wii for WiiFit and Guitar Hero (although I'm worse than mediocre at the last

PC for FPSs and RTSs.

Console for everything else. And the occasional FPS.

 

[Vjam]

I prefer console because my computer can only play really old games and dies on me whenever i try to play a semi/recent one

 

[SirDeadly]

Console because how can u play a pc while sitting upside down on a couch? (Post a pic coz I want to see that happen)

This sum it up nicely.
I'm usually doing more than one thing whilst on the PC anyway, so that functionality suits well.

 

[Humppaporo]

I picked pc, because of the endless possibilities. WASD and mouse are perfect for most of the games and my laptop can run most of the games i want to play. I would pick console too, since mario wouldnt just feel the same without appropriate console and controller.

 

[skcseth]

Console.
I've never really had a PC that met the system requirements for any game really.
Plus it seems to me like most games lately on the PC are just watered down ports of console games. Then again this is just my opinion.
