It's cheaper than consoles in the long run.

Also, Steam summer, winter, autumn, and spring sales.....your argument is invalid.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Modz, more updates, bigger maps and players (Ex.Battlefield 3). Graphics, titles only available on PC (Ex. Team fortress 2). Also you need a PC for school you won't have to buy a console to play games.

Yes, I know my username is the 330th sequel to a terrible movie. You don't have to keep telling me.

As a console gamer I wholeheartedly say that PC gaming is much better than consoles, to make future proof PCs, you'll have to spend a lot of money. It's not just for/about the graphics, either, there are mods, sales, etc.

And what if I don't care about graphics? What is so special about it then?

Then just settle with console. Is that so hard?

Besides, excluding graphics there's some (indie) games that only available on PC and some multiplatform games are more optimized on PC

I don't see what is so great about it, it costs a ton of money to be able to run the best graphics and if you want to keep up to date you need to keep spending more and more money upgrading.

And what if I don't care about graphics? What is so special about it then?

Please, tell me.

I think if I had a PC, it would be an overall better experience than Xbox because of the hardware that makes it run better and the eye candy. And as you said not everyone can afford that, so it is a downside, but still if you have the money, why not buy it?
Oh and I believe that if you are spending more money on your gaming system the general population of gamers will care more about it. They'll care about the hardware and playing the games consistently.
I think this is why PC is so much more competitive than console. And it's one reason why I have always wanted a PC.

Steam sales are just a ploy to get you to buy loads of games that I will never have time to play.


Do you lack self control?

Well I have these elitist PC fanboys constantly shoving it in my face that I should be playing on a PC when I amperfectly happy playing on an xbox. I know nothing about these exclusives therefore I have no desire to play them and Steam sales are just a ploy to get you to buy loads of games that I will never have time to play.

If you're perfectly happy I don't understand why their opinion matters. They're just random people on the Internet.

>Console gamers pay $65 for new games (that's with tax mind you)
>PC gamers pay $50 - $60 for brand new games

>Consoles barely have sales....and when they do...they're meh
>PC has the Steam summer, winter, autumn, and spring sales

You can build a $350 gaming PC that can run any game....it's only a bit more than a new console.

Or if you only want to spend $200 something....this is perfect for you....it's cheaper than a new console and can play any game.

Buying a gaming PC is cheaper than buying a basic PC and a console.
