Why Console is Better Than PC

[-Perplexing]

Gaming consoles are optimized for gaming and have hardware dedicated to do so, at the end of the day they’re just massed produced gaming pcs with a special os and a controller.

Play whatever you want. In the end it's just a box with some circuits in them. Why we fight over then so much makes no sense.

I work as a software developer so I already sit in a gaming chair 8-10 hours per day. When I play games I like to sit in my recliner and relax.

After getting over the hype of going from console to pc, Im inclined to tell you its fine to enjoy gaming on whatever platform you can afford. You can justify a bunch of arguments for every platform. Even PC gamers argue over which pc parts are best and roast each other for their choices. So do yourself a favor, don't let others make you feel bad if you enjoy console gaming. I havent upgraded my pc from a 1070 because the current market is so expensive. I got a ps5 instead and happy with the price i paid for it as well as the games.

This take right here should end this petty PC vs Console war.

I been building gaming PC for 25 years, but now I bought an Xbox X. Spending 8-10 hours a day on a desk at work is enough. Relaxing on the couch with a console is so much better and easier.

I would also like to point out the fact that I just spent an hour trying to get a game that was previously working fine on my PC to work again because it was running super slow and in slow motion. Where is if I had just download it on my Xbox, which is currently is, I would be fine and able to play the game and not have wasted an hour.

Since middle school (2002), I've been playing on consoles until about 3-4 years ago when I switched to PC. From experience with both, I can confirm that PC is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you have far fewer restrictions on what you can play, what you can do, and how good your games can look and run. On the other hand, unlike consoles, if you aren't decent with tech, navigating settings, and troubleshooting, a PC is a nightmare for figuring out why something isn't working because there's a good chance any issue could have at least half a dozen potential reasons for why it's happening.

I was once a console player, but i moved to pc, and everytime i look at my ps5 i get sad and start missing the console gaming its what i grew up with, i cant leave it behind

Console = games.

PC = endless oppertunity.

[johnnymac]

His point stands. Buying games on PC is way cheaper

[kingfayaiz]

I didn’t buy PC to only play games, It helps me to do assignment, study, productivity, watch movie, do meetings and many more. I think PC is a perfect thing for me.

Play on whatever platform you want, life is short

I’ve been gaming on all of them for a while now, though did start on console until a couple years ago. One of the most touted and oversold features PC players will harp on is modding. In my experience, most of the mods are novelty, one to two play session events that end in three distinct scenarios: You have your fun and forget about it by the next weekend, you introduce all kinds of technical issues and spend more time trying to fix it than playing it, or you are unimpressed that it doesn’t match the description and hype and end up playing something else, forgetting to uninstall it as it takes up space in your PC for months or years. That’s about 90% of the time, and the 10% that it fixes UI, improves performance or translation, or expands on the actual experience of a game (a fan made campaign, a new game mechanic) while legitimately awesome, doesn’t push modding into some mystical space that everyone who cannot do it is robbing themselves of fun for not taking part.

Modding is great. You’re not missing much if you don’t partake, considering how many available games are ready to go should you get bored.

It's why I love handheld consoles because it lets you play your games anywhere

The problem with PC gaming now is the huge influx of cheaters. There’s a device called DMA and it allows the person to run cheats undetected. It’s becoming more & more available to regular users. It was more of a streamer thing but now people are getting their hands on them easier. I’d rather not bother with multiplayer games anymore. Single Player for me now with NexusMods. Thats all I need.

Console is simply much more Accessible for the average person. A kid, someone on a low income, or simply doesn't have much time to game usually don't have a thousand+ dollars upfront to buy a pc. Even if you factor in subscriptions and higner game costs it will still likely take several years before you spend as much as you would on a pc.

[CegaAlbert]

True, but with a pc you can do wathever you think about! Playing games, searching the web, do work with it…

Just got my first gaming pc. Been 24 hrs and still cant play a game yet. Controller wont work on gamepass but does on steam. Downloads take forever. Updating everything. Waiting waiting waiting. When i got ps5 i was playing in 5 min no hassle. I regret buying a pc. I hate it i have no desire to play games with 40 buttons to remember forcing me to sit at a desk instead of a comfy chair or couch. Its ridiculous
