• Why Console gaming is better than PC gaming

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;33579257]Mods, dedicated servers, multitasking, Steam, keyboards, mice, HDMI, multi-monitor support Think I just listed everything that consoles don't have. Fuck you kid in the video. Also people need to stop buying into "i'd buy a mac if I wanted to do video editing or media stuff on it." I have Photoshop, After Effects, Maya, 3DS Max, Sony Vegas and god knows what other programs there are. "But it runs slightly better on Macs" so what? If you want it to render 2 seconds faster, buy 8gb of memory for $32 on Newegg and you'll get even better performance than you would at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention I could build an i7 2600K sandy bridge based PC with an SSD(for video rendering and all the shit the Apple fanboys only care about apparently), 8-16gb of memory, running Windows 7, Nvidia 560gtx and has a great 27'' monitor for under $800. So yeah, fuck Apple, fuck their halfwitted fans. If anyone wants to argue hardware or software go ahead because you're only trying to justify your $2000 Mac Pro running a dumbed down Linux distribution that I could have built for a third or fourth of the cost.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure every Adobe program runs faster on PC, even if specs are identical.

Make a really cheap console, only it has a PC style desktop and plays like a console.
[QUOTE]Pc fanboys don't get pissed[/QUOTE] He asked for it
lol @ you all getting trolled
As much as computers are annoying to keep up with after years, I'm an IT whore. For me, the keyboard and mouse is better than any controller I've touched. What boggles me is why this stupid troll video is worth a thread. Seriously, viruses makes PC gaming shit? That's like saying McDonalds sucks because a guy could drive buy and shoot you in the head.
L4D for the PC allows local games. MW2 has private matches which can be used for local games. This guy isn't making a point that isn't stupider than all fuck.
[QUOTE=J!NX;33571759]"computers are not made to play games" are you fucking seriously saying that consoles are just stripped down computers, you ignorant kid, [B]you can use controllers on a PC[/B] Also, he mouse gives more room to aim with more precision, thus taking less precision to actually aim than a joy-stick. Not only that, but customizable controls are available on a keyboard, and you can get controllers and this for games [IMG]http://tftscdn.nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads2/2007/12/cool-fps-gamers-usb-game-pad-keyboard-final.jpg[/IMG] "Virus's" thats kind of a stupid point, because consoles die as well you know "Rockband" fuck off and die, that doesn't count, that's 100% preference. "torrents" you can pirate on console too btw, and its barely even an issue "tv" [IMG]http://www.picture-player.com/image/pc-fullhdtv.gif[/IMG] I've been using a PC on a TV screen for [I]years.[/I] also, you're dumb, and PC graphics are much more up to date "Hl2 was scary" wow, you are a pussy "PC gamers = whiners" ok then why do I never see 12 year old's screaming on mic on PC, but when I play xbox 360, I hear this almost every server? Also, you act like a whiney stuck up bitch who thinks he's better than everyone else, great job. "Macs are better than PC's" Fair enough, but they're far overpriced by a closed mined capitalist pig corperation "Local multiplayer" [IMG]http://itlounge.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/longest_LAN_party_90191.jpg[/IMG] [video=youtube;XhYxQozq7Gg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhYxQozq7Gg[/video] Console has split screen because who the fuck wants to play on PC like that? "Specifications" It's not that hard to get to that, and custom PC's are very easy to get and build, and rather cheap, not only that, [B]but actually up to date[/B]. You don't need exactly that either, you just need something around that to run it and you're fine. "Constant upgrade" Yeah except the games you buy are only as good as the console, and out of date. [B]TL;DR, the guy in a video is a fuck-wit idiot and doesn't know what he's talking about because he's a console fan boy and doesn't realize its all out of personal preference.[/B] rofl ok[/QUOTE] Actually, me and my brother were poor and would run L4D in split screen on our PC so we could play together :v: We only had one computer.
Computers are expensive if you buy the whole thing, it's much cheaper if you buy the required parts. That's like getting a Ferrari instead of upgrading the engine of your current car. /youtube comment copypasta "Hl2 is scary". Troll confirmed.
gtfo you cun$$$$t, die in a river you $$$$ seriously gtfo, facepunch is for pc gamers not people that have crack in their nostrols and weed in their bell, console gamers dont deserve forums at all. And you didnt even review pc it was more mac Apple users are noobs. Apple users believe that they are better than you are because they pay so much for a shitty computer to be shiny with an apple logo on it, but what they don't know is that Macs were originally (and are still today) made purely for watching gay porn. People who subscribe to Apple's corporate philosophy often espouse the notion that Apple products are somehow inherently more liberal than other things built out of metal and silicon. While this is true for the special case of Ann Coulter, Apple users are in all other cases simply the delusional but willing victims of trendy advertising, which makes expensive computers made by communists appear to be a counter-culture political statement. [editline]5th December 2011[/editline] Xbox 360 (more like the Xcocks 180 amirite?) also known as Shitbox Please Fixme, Ecksbawcks thweesicksty, and Ekthbokth Thweethickthty to retards and Failbox 360 to haters is the next shitty version of Microsoft's Xbox, as well as the first video game console catering entirely to niggers and 12 year old boys. Xbox 360 is one of the biggest hardware failures in mankind's memory The PlayStation 3 (otherwise known as the Piece of Shit 3, PS3, PSTripple, PlayStashun 3 or NOGAEMSBOX) The hardware of the PS3 consists of the cell processor, which runs on the tears of Muslim orphans and alkaline batteries, and the RSX GPU (which is actually an outdated G70 chip).

[img]http://gyazo.com/606eb9d79eda0ad1ba67698930b466de[/img] Not saying PC gaming isn't fairly cheap, but don't pull shit out of your ass, I was even lenient on the pricing of things, getting the cheapest at the cost of practicality (ie: getting only an 80 gig hard drive)
Reminds me that today my friend asked me if he could run minecraft on a 3000$ computer if he builds it from scratch.
IMO, it's what you prefer/grew up around. I grew up with a Nintendo 64 so i stuck to console gaming (I sometimes play PC games on my friends PC though).

So...heh
Yes, but the i5 is still a decent CPU. And some bad bad people decide to pirate Windows 7 to cut costs anyways
I just wanna put my 2 cents in: I dislike I consoles. I fucking HATE, with a passion, consoles AND PC's communities. Then again I hate everything but still, theres always whiney kids, bitchy adults basically; idiots from life, everywhere on gaming.
[QUOTE=Rhodry;33622042]Yes, but the i5 is still a decent CPU.

I use linux, no viruses.
Only thing I have against consoles is that you cannot adjust any graphical settings... not even the basics like resolution, texture quality, shadows.... It also doesn't help when idiot devs release games to run at a steady [highlight]30[/highlight] fps :(

If you have ever owned a PC, you probably have a monitor and OS anyways so you could easily do it for around $800. Go try and find a Mac similarly specced. You'd be looking at 2-5 thousand.

The point is you can get computers cheap. Cheaper than the PS3 on launch, anyways.
