What's the big deal about PC games?

[Crazy80sguy]

I own a pretty high end computer, an xbox 360 and a Ps3.

But I spend most of my gaming time on the computer as the games are cheaper for some reason. Take Dead Space 2. Where I live I could buy the Xbox Version for £32.99 but for the PC version I only had to pay £22.99

So I bought the pc version.

Because it was cheaper.

Though some games are only on the Xbox 360, like the Fable series. I like shooters but have never played Halo. Just havent dont really care. And the same goes for Ps3, like Resistance fall of man and... Metal Gear.

I am in the middle, I don't really perfer it over Console gaming. Sometimes I just am in the mood to use a controller, sometimes a M&K. I look at them as equals.

I never said that precisely. Go back and read the thread, I'll be busy... either making pizza or laughing. Probably pizza.

The vast majority of mods people use are things like additional content. This is artificially adding things to the game world, thereby making it easier. Ergo cheating. Visual mods are just rampant graphic whorism, and it's pretty obvious what I think of graphics whores.

Mods? That's basically just a more accepted form of cheating. Take your cheats elsewhere, foo.

General absolutisms. By the way you've also called Counter Strike a cheat. Both are examples of mods generating additional content.

"YOU'VE CALLED COUNTER STRIKE A CHEAT."

You sir win.

Mods.
Some games you really need a mouse for (pick an RTS, any RTS)
Steam saves me a bunch of money.
Multiplayer is free (unless you're talking about an MMO)
MMOs
Multitasking (Alt-Tab FTW)
Joysticks that work for more than one game
More Mods

WoW, TF2, RS, Minecraft, Diablo 2, You Have To Burn The Rope.

All great games, all PC only.

While I still prefer console to pc, I play on both and I can understand why people like pc better. Pc has better rts games, mods, more people for shooters, mods, steam makes games cheaper, mods. I think you get the picture

However, consoles have better flight sims and ace combat.

As I recall, consoles have approximately 2 flight sims... the best flight sims (MS Flight Simulator, the IL-2 Sturmovik series, etc) are all on PC.

For me it comes down to graphics, mods, control precision with the mouse and kb, RTS games and more of my friends being PC gamers.

Since I won't repeat/qoute hundreds of posts before about mods, prices, numbers of games, etc, I'll just go and put this here:

Simply because I can emulate ANY current console on my PC while browsing, watching a movie and still have only about 50% of my system ressources used...
