If you don't mind hunching over a keyboard until you get scoliosis.

The most development money still goes into console games too, producing better games which are optimized for those platforms and don't port well to PC even if they're not exclusives.

The only real advantage to PC's is if you want to be free of DRM, or are a FPS or horror game fanatic.

They HAVE to optimize for consoles, because for about 80% of a console's life its technology is obsolete. Meanwhile PCs see significant increases in gaming horsepower every year. Way more than enough to take a game optimized for a console and still crank it at higher resolution, with better effects, higher frame rate, etc, etc.

Graphics whore, say no more. Computers have been far more powerful since day 1 and have had better graphics since the development of VGA. But VGA didn't stop Nintendo and Sony from taking over the market in the 90's, and nothing has changed since.

Anyone can make a cheap shooter that runs faster than your monitor's refresh rate. To make a work of art like final fantasy or metal gear solid requires serious development money that only the vast number of installed consoles can support.

The new call of duty looks pretty legit

Give it some time, it will take a little while for developers to be able to utilize the full specs. I remember getting Rainbow Six Vegas for Xbox 360 when the console first came out and thought the graphics were awesome, then I went back a couple years later to try it out again and I couldn't believe how awful the graphics looked compared to the current games...the graphics right now are no where near the console's capability yet, patience young padawan.

For most the games I've played so far, I feel like the graphics and gameplay aren't much different from PS3 or even PS2 games. I was really hoping to see at least one game that pushed the graphics engine to its max, but so far nothing. Maybe we'll get another grand theft auto that allows for comprehensive open world exploration (verticality, going in virtually any building, on any room, floor, countryside, nook, cranny, etc.)

Pretty underwhelmed as of yet, tho my buddy tells me alien isolation is pretty cool (albeit long and repetitive toward the end)

Wait for the next Naughty Dog game.

At that point, shit will get real (like always).

Assassins Creed Unity looks very good also. Release date is Nov 11th.

I've heard Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is excellent.

lol enjoy your 30 fps and day 0 DLC.

Ubisoft is shite

What games are designed better for console than PC?

You can use a console controller for shooters (and probably anything else except RTS/MMO) if you're inclined. Get this: You can even display your PC games on your flat screen television these days. What will they think of next?! For the better part of the last decade no one has actually been relegated to hunch over a desk with wired keyboard and mouse.

You can also pirate shitty games.

There is also unlimited modding potential on PC.

Recently switched to PC master race after all the recent next gen. console BS, but till play some games on console w/ Plaeb friends.

Wow, you just flat-out 100% proved you have zero credit on the topic at hand. Gratz.

Buy a generic motherboard, PSU, peripherals, etc. Then get a budget ivy bridge i5, and a middle-ranged GPU and you will sh1t your pants at what $500 can bring you. BTW, it'll outlast the ps4 too.

Oh, and it can...you know, do PC stuff too. Work, projects, programming, etc.

Do I need to go on?

We have a PC for gaming but I don't like it PS3 gets 10x the use in our house for good & obvious reasons. For example, Watchdogs came free with some software we bought (I didn't buy it, so I don't know the exact part), but the game is UNPLAYABLE. Buggy, crashes, terrible frame rate. The PS version doesn't have any of these problems. Hey, welcome to PC gaming. Here's a game that WON'T play. LOL

Mods? Mods are lame & are for nerds. Half the time they cause crashes. We play skyrim on the PS3 & on PC & I can barely BARELY tell a difference in graphics between the two. PC just isn't worth the headaches, $, nerd factor, bad porting, lack of a decent controller, etc etc.

Jesus you f**king simpleton, please stop.

Alternate account?

You're gonna use "it's for nerds" as a defense in an argument about gaming..? Are you a child? It sounds like you're a kid and kid games are for you. This is fine. Kid games can be fun. But it's no basis for you to pretend to talk from a position of authority on the matter.

Because you aren't "savvy" enough to run mods concurrently that makes them not worth it? I run dozens for Bethesda games at once without issue.

I agree, playing The Last of Us was an experience. I wish I could forget the game completely, only to play it again and experience it like I did the first time.

I fully expect to be made fun of for saying that but I don't care. I stand by it!

Yeah, 'it's for nerds' is a strong point. Have you been paying attention to the latest news regarding gamergate? PC gaming nerds are way over the edge, & I've picked up hints of this in this thread. PC gamers will forever have a stain on them because of gamergate. Learn to not take your craft so seriously, & stop harassing people who like something different than you. That's a start.

I'm not a kid. I'm old. Probably twice your age at least.

I just asked the PC gamer in my household the disadvantages to PC gaming. The reply was - "you can't play it on the couch." Like a poster above said, it's not comfortable & that my brother is huge, & also the reason cited why the person doesn't play it that much. The other reason is starting up games is a hassle compared to the PS3. It loads faster, but it's a hassle. (I didn't inquire their reason for this.)

You say to hook it up to the TV? No. That would involve more $$, cords across the room, adjustments to the tv display settings, adjustments to the computer screen settings etc etc. And how often do you have to make those adjustments? Every time I bet. And that's too much work.
