are pc gamers better of than console gamers?

[count vercula]

frankly speaking i tried playing fifa 2004 (the game sucks!) ,with a belkin console at r-world, and i got all the shots wrong, also i wonder if the ps2 freaks and xbox idiots target correctly with da analogue sticks in fps and tps.

[mario_pant]

hey..... PC has the best controls...... and this aint any topic to discuss abt.........

[SWEET SNEHA]

Once you get control over the analog, then console are the best.
If u dont, still then its fun in console(and the vibration in ps2)

[ashu888ashu888]

yup u r rite Sneha!

the feel of analog vibration is jus gr8 but hey how come girls joining the forum han !! neways its good that even girls r getting sum GYAAN of games..

Me myself own a PS2 and a GAMING PC and being a 2nd year engineering student, after finishing my (ooh so boring) studies, i do take sum time (4 hrs) to play my games on a broadband connection with PC...

But all the guys here will agree that PC controls a best for NOVICES !! RITE GUYS !! let me hear u scream !

cheers n peace.....

Not this debate again! PC gamers will never agree that console controllers are good and vice-versa. It depends on what you get used to. I am myself a PC gamer and I love the keyboard+mouse combo but there's no denying that certain games are better played on consoles. The best example of games that work better on consoles are action games such as Soul Calibur, Devil May Cry, Mortal Kombat and all those RPG games that are in such abundance on the PS2 platform . Those would be literally unplayable on computers. Even most sports games work better on consoles. However, the one genre that I feel sucks on consoles is the FPS genre. I simply cannot play FPSes on consoles. The keyboard+mouse combo rules as far as FPSes go. Even third person shooters feel better on a PC. Racing games are debatable. In NFSU, I drive better with my keyboard than I do with a PS2 controller

[kiddo_m18]

pc is the easiest and the superb tye of gaming u wont get the exact type of graphics frm a x-box or ps.

[thegame_rulez]

u just possibly compare the 2..try shooting a running object in a console...but at the same time try(imagine) playing a wrestling or mortal kombat in ur pc..

[rockthegod]

For me PC controls r always better than Console controls in FPS and Action genre games..but consoles r always better 4 games like Mortal Combat, POP which needs various combinations of keyboard strokes and mouse combos....for these types the Consoles stays at top on the basis of comfortability..... but the fact is tht the consoles r always future proof coz the games tht r released 4 a particular console will definitely be playable on it at the highest qual and the max smoothness possible... but for PCs...thrs always a need 2 upgrade exists .. the best gfx card card today is always replaced by its future sibling...and the oncoming PC games always try to match the latest hardware available.

[nix]

PC gaming is expensive as it requires frequent hardware upgrades.

consoles in india are not a feasible option because of the difficulty to get games for them.
but b/w the 2, i'd stick with the PC.

[mamba]

me 2 using both pc n a xbox

there r no 2 opinions on the issue of where the FPSs play better . doom3 on the pc is unmatchable 2 that on the xbox . this due 2 the k/b - mouse combo n whole lot better graphics

having said that cant imagine playing burnout 3 or 4 that matter dead or alive : ultimate , on ne thing else but the console . the force feedback the moves the controls ...... no dude pc cant match that

choose the genre , n then take the dip

n d00d , a gamer is a gamer is a gamer . u cant compare the 2

[tarey_g]

nothing to discuss and argue about really. it depends on the type of game being played

I can beat myself in nfsug2 while playing with my rumblepad compared to playin with kb/mouse

similarly in case of fps like halflife2/doom3 a kb/mouse combo will be my choice. joypad/joystick sucks in case of fps .

played fifa2004/nfsug2 on a sony ps2 like vibration usb controller ....it rocks

Console gaming is more fun than PC gaming.
Yeah thats true.
Becuse u dont need to remember keys.
And every new game today release for consoles first.

You still need to remember which button does what on the controller

And no, every new game does NOT release on consoles first although a fair number of games release simultaneously. DOOM III and Half-Life 2 are good examples of games that came to the PC first.

[tarey_g]

add battlefield 2 to it

I think u shud reconsider ur statement....edit

[q3_abhi]

Well, PC games differ in graphics. But i think this is not the case with console. Console games r created for console configuration which is same 4 all console(for ex-ps2). So graphics wont differ a lot. Even if a new game arrives ,it has almost same graphics. This is not the case with the PCs,newer n newer games arrive with newer graphics 4 different configs. So i like PC games rather then a console.

Use appropriate language.

[expertno.1]

well due it depends upon ths user

my vote goes to pc games coz i like keb+mic

i relly like to drag that chuha on the pad

console games..console gamers like but i like pc games

[rohanbee]

This debate would be a never ending one. There can be no clear winner here.
Personally i prefer pc because of the kind of strategy games i play and the numerous keyboard shortcuts and mouse features that i use.
I guess at the end of the day it depende on what kind of game you are playing.

[Delpiero]

I like PS2. PS2 has better graphics than PC. See resident evil3 on PS2 and PC you will see which one is better. PS2 costs Rs. 11,000 and high end GPU will set you back Rs. 20-35,000.

[rohanbee]

Well thats absolutely correct del piero..........there's no beating the fact that in a console you pop in the game and expect to have the best possible graphics played without hitches or crashes............
...............but
a pc can do much much more..............its more flexible.

[Nemesis]

Err...Delpiero...I don't know how you can say that games look better on the PS2 than they do on PCs. It's the ports that end up looking worse on the PC. And mind you, the Resident Evil series ports were certainly not the best ports to the PC that you will see. If you really wanna compare, compare games like NFSU/U2 which were released for all platforms at the same time. The Xbox versions of games look anyday better than the PS2 and the PC tops that too. Just look at DOOM III on the Xbox and on the PC.

Of course, consoles have the price benefit and buy and play advantage too. But until the next generation comes, PC graphics are far superior to any console.

[Sourabh]

@Delpiero

lol the RE3 graphics seems to be poor becoz its an old game so it doesnt accept high resolutions in the game by default due to newed graphic chips

all u have to do is just fress F2 and choose a high resolution and then watch the difference

even the worst of onboards play that game at high resolution

give it a try and then say that PC rulz!

[supersaiyan]

well i think the gfx card manufacturers won't be behind the consoles. take for example the physics gfx card being developed. btw i personally feel that if u r a c gamer u get used to playing on the keyboard/mic combo. but if u r used to a console then u r used to playing on the controller. for example the cursor keys on the keyboard are to the right but on the console controller they r on the left. so it takes some time to get used to either of them. this isn't really a debatable topic.

[ammusk]

PC wins hands down
controls may be a prob if the game has been ported from a console
the ingame graphics and sound effects are grt on a PC
also ability to add mods and patches to a PC title
ammusk

[vmp_vivek]

yup i agree with ammusk

[shaunak]

3 disadvantages of the consoles.
~no or limited multiplayer
~sucisvile controls
~does nothing else

@ also now the pc graphics have overtaken the ps2
but unfortunately ps3 has pushed the consols back on track
did any one see the gfx of the ps3? it looked like a star wars flick!! and it was being rendered in real time! kicks the pants off half life 2 and doom 3.

sure the pc has disadvantages too:
~the 6month upgrade cycle!

BUT THE PC STILL WINS 3-1! 1 disadvantage for pc 3 for console!

I agree with our friend here. This is a never-ending debate. There are no clear winners here.
