people go on and on about hardware but there are certain things about playing on console that i prefer. i'd rather play on my couch with a TV and a nice sound system than on my PC. i spend so much time on my computer anyway due to classes. any more and i think my head will explode.

controllers (although you can connect an Xbox controller to a PC and use a PS3 controller if you have motionjoy or something. but motionjoy is crap), the lack of necessity of knowing anything other than how to insert the disk, sitting back while playing, and exclusives


i think that'd be like it


a big part is the easiness of setting up and not needing to install games

also many PC games require online connection to be played, but that's barely a factor (except for me sometimes)



if you want the most important factor, it's probably exclusives in the eyes of people that are aware about the differences of PC and console, and easiness of set-up for those that aren't

"i'd rather play on my couch with a TV and a nice sound system than on my PC. "
except you can do that with pc, as for the nice sound system part, JUST GET A FREAKING AMP OR DECENT SPEAKERS.

"controllers" i don't even need to explain this one

"a big part is the easiness of setting up and not needing to install games"
several modern console games require an installation disc
i.e: gta 4, watch_dogs

-the point

-your head



i find it funny you're trying to argue against consoles in a thread that isn't even PC vs Console
you're trying to disprove reasons for using a console over a PC with obvious aggression




also, because certain games require installation really doesn't undo the fact that it's not required for a great, great deal of them?

why do you have to respond with fallacy and aggression when i was merely disproving some of the points?

man, not condescending or aggressive at all



this thread isn't a PC vs Console argument


this thread is simply giving reasons to OP of why someone would decide to choose to buy a gaming console instead of a assembling a gaming PC

Exclusives, playing with friends (who don't have PC), potential development platform, when you're bored of PC...etc.

no one said it wasn't

I'm not gonna list every single reason why i prefer consoles over pc. I'm just gonna list 3


Consoles are an easier way to jump right into gaming and their are easier to set up and overall just easier to use


Everytime i turn around, My most anticipated games are either delayed on pc, Or aren't going to pc. I don't feel like dealing with that


And all of my friends play on consoles. And yes, They do know about pc gaming and how powerful it is, But they choose to stick to consoles. And back when i was a pc gamer, I wasn't upset with them for that

but what if you're bored of bo- ah, it died a bit ago.

tbh, exclusives are really the only point other than being "easier" to setup.

'ok and
no one said it wasn't'

yet you decided to turn it into 'say that pc can do that too/console has to do that too under certain conditions'

'caps =/= aggressive'

> implying i was saying it's aggressive because of caps

'freaking'
the caps just help

not to mention that'd require even more spending on the PC part when it's more than likely that you'll already own a good TV, and so it's 'conditional'



'merely stating that the obvious doesn't require an explanation =/= condescending'

you were treating the mention of controllers as unimportant and belittling by saying 'doesn't require an explanation', obviously

'but then what if you're bored of console?'

thanks for another conditional scenario

Is being bored of PC a reason to go for console instead of PC? Yes. Therefore 'but then what if you're bored of console?' is absolutely irrelevant in the thread because it doesn't contribute to letting OP know why would someone pick console over PC.

It tells you why someone might decide to game on a PC, but OP is obviously not looking for that.

except caps would've been the only way to deem it aggressive, as freaking isn't a strong enough word alone to deem something aggressive

'yet you decided to turn it into 'say that pc can do that too/console has to do that too under certain conditions'
it's funny because that's exactly what you did lol

"you were treating the mention of controllers as unimportant and belittling"
lel
i love how it's so easy to piss you off and completely derail topics
and then when the topic gets to a calm and back on track, you storm back in with your rampant rectum.

"not to mention that'd require even more spending on the PC part "
i didn't have to buy any parts to connect my pc to a tv
