Poll: Prefered Gaming Platform. Which is yours?

[n00beffect]

This is not intended to be a debate of 'witch wan is bettah', ok? I'm not asking that. I'm asking you which do you prefer. I.e. which do you find most convinient, enjoyable, etc. You don't have to give reasons for that if you don't want to.

I'm just curious, since I've not seen one of these in awhile (or at least I couldn't be bothered to look everyday, so there). If there has been one recently, then I'm deeply sorry...ish.

I personally prefer PC's (and laptops), even though there are a lot of great console-exclusive games (which really boiles my bumble-bees). Part of the reason is that I can't afford to have a console, as well (ok, well I can, but since my lifestyle requires me to move a lot, it'd be very inconvinient to lob around). And because I find the standart keyboard and mouse controls familiar, and therefore convinient. There.

PC, mostly 'cause I don't have all that much money to buy a console or anything with, and partly because I'm familiar with the controls. Honestly, put me in from of a PS3 and it'll take me an hour or so to adjust. Put me in front of an Xbox, well... it happened once, and never again. It was downright embarrassing.

Hah, same here. I don't have problems when I get used to it though. But if I stop playing for like a month, then it's like I never did so in the first place.

I wish I could get a chance to get used to it... Heh, the only console I have access to is my brother's PS3, and to use I have to be staying at my parents', in for more than an hour, and wanting to use it when he isn't. Therefore I use it rarely, resulting in much fumbling and hilarity when I do.

That very much depends on whether I want to play at my desk, in bed or laid out on the sofa upside down. Also what I fancy playing. But I'd say though I've been playing humble bundle games recently on my PC, overall I spend more time on my xbox. Plus I don't want to strain the graphics cards too much until I can afford a new one, poor PC isn't going to last much longer in it's current state :'(

PC's and laptops really shouldn't be in the same category...
Regardless, voted PC.

 

[ubersyanyde]

Voted anything and everything because I really don't have a strong preference towards anything.

I definitely play PC the most but that doesn't mean I enjoy any Wii/GC or Xbox 360 exclusives I own. There are just too many games I adore to narrow down my preference.

 

[Smooth Operator]

PC because I like to have all my features in one bucket, sadly it has become somewhat of a developers trash can but I don't intend to play on their whims.

 

[Razentsu]

PC, since I'm on it most of the time. It's nice to be able to go from web surfing to gaming without having to mess with another monitor and machine. And you know, the extra performance that comes from a juiced up PC is always welcome.

 

[Esotera]

I would prefer a PC, but I'm stuck with an Xbox for now. This is the last console gen I'm buying, partly because of the extra space the console takes up when you factor everything in (another monitor, physical copies of games, controllers, wires), it's just hassle I don't want to put up with when a decent PC can do it all and more.

 

[Andy Shandy]

Clicked on Xbox, but if I'd noticed the anything and everything option I would've picked that =P I do spend the most time on the Xbox but that's more due to my friends being on it as opposed to any particular preference that I have for the machine.

 

[Vault101]

PC without a doubt
...and *flamesheild* laptops because of the portability

however I also have a console ebcause I don't always trust my laptops capabilites...yes I know burn me at the stake

playing on a console really does shit me somtimes...its like I CAN'T FUCKING AIM

PC/Laptop

I do actually have a laptop that is quite powerful (although far from what my PC is), which I often take on trips or holidays and will connect it to a TV via HDMI and game that way (with a controller). Its primary use is work and university so it doesn't see much action though.

I use consoles for exclusives though obviously, and things that have terrible PC ports, my PS3 and Wii are just collecting dust at the moment though.

 

[Calcium]

This was a hard choice between Xbox and PC. I think though, as gaming is a social experience, being able to just lie down on my sofa and jump into a match of Halo talking to a group of friends playing all different games even, is why I would say Xbox.

Of course that's just personal to me. If hardly any of my friends had an Xbox I wouldn't have this reason to prefer it.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

PC all the way.

But I have an Xbox and PS3 for their exclusives.

 

[Lev The Red]

i prefer my xbox. i can buy and trade used games and i get a comfy controller.

however, my laptop is far more convenient. i don't have to pay for multiplayer. i don't have to lug around disks. and i don't need a TV, which i wouldn't own if it weren't for my xbox.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

I love my PC. Big comfy chair and ability to talk to the guys and tab out and look at pictures of kittens. Awesome.
It's also stupidly overpowered xD 2x GTX580'S with SLI. Although most of the time they are sleeping while I play cave story...

I have an xbox for console exclusives and there are some really nice PS3 exclusives coming out soon that I'm tempted to get one.

I use an xbox gamepad for ports and platformers on pc too.

playing on a console really does shit me somtimes...its like I CAN'T FUCKING AIM

Yep. A mate is like let's play Halo! and I play like some kind of grandma that has never seen an xbox in her life...

 

[Mr. Omega]

Wii/Laptop. If i need something else, I borrow my brother's PS3, which I've been using more recently.

Wii for retro gaming and a lot of RPGs. There are awesome games if you're willing to actually find them.
Laptop for the even more obscure stuff and TF2. When I was able to get big AAA stuff, I'd get it, but it's showing its age. Been saving for a new one because one of the hinges got busted and I was looking for an excuse to upgrade.
PS3 for the more recent AAA games. Thankfully summer is pretty dry in terms of new releases, and if I can manage to get a WiiU, I can stop bugging him.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I don't really have one. I'll game on anything really. Although recently I've been doing most of my gaming on my PC, mostly because Steam is so convenient and also because there haven't been many console games that interest me.
