PC gaming is superior to console gaming (CM)

For those of you who do not know, this is an objective fact. Yes indeed, gaming on a computer is much better than on a console. Let's review the evidence. First is the graphics. Even the most humble of computers can easily match the graphics output of consoles. Not to mention higher-end computers, which are in an entirely different category. It's not just the quality of the graphics though, it's the options. For example, most console games do not have anti-aliasing. Computers have the option for anti-aliasing plus anisotropic filtering options plus bloom effects plus a myriad of other advanced graphics options. It's simply no contest. Let's talk about the games now. Cheaper on the PC and that is that. Console games will hover around sixty bucks for months until they drop - Steam offers relatively new games for thirty dollars or less, not to mention older games, or ones that are independently developed - those go for as little as five. More about games, you cannot forget mods. On the computer you can do whatever you want with your games - the files are your's and you can download mods for them or create them yourself. Consoles? They have those on lock and key. Modding is more likely to equal jail time than a better experience. There are those who would say that the PC is actually inferior when it comes to games, citing some obscure game that is exclusive to one console. The fact is irrelevant, no single game could make up for the libraries of high quality content the PC provides. Let's talk a little about community. On the consoles, you are probably going to end up interacting with a bunch of screaming twelve year olds. On the PC, you can directly connect with your friends with ease. How can the two be compared? I don't believe they can.

  1. I wholeheartedly agree with you brother, PC Gaming is completely superior in every way. Consoles have time and time again bred groups of feuding parties comparing their sub-par potato machines. PC's hold such great variety that it is impossible to create any feud between computers, thus allowing us to transcend from such frivolous quarrels. Praise GabeN!

  2. Eh, I do agree that with consoles you cannot mod- I have looked on in envy at my friends awesome Fallout New Vegas mods, but you also have to take into account expense. PC gaming may be better than console gaming, but not everyone has the money and resources to switch over. Besides time and money considerations, I have some friends from elementary that I can talk to over console, and I have friends from high school that I talk to in PC. I like to think that I get some of each world- PC community and console...well...games for free (Dark Souls anyone?).
