Pro. No, I'm not going to turn this into a huge Halo debate, because that never leads anywhere but irritation and anger. No, I don't care what you think of the series. And by the way, no, your opinion is not universal fact.Balobo said:
wow, don't anyone light a cigarette.. this thread is pretty inflammable ^^
Having said that, i'm for the PC, mouse + keyboard is my preference for most genre.

PC going online is FREE you can ALWAYS install mods, its alway homebrew enabled and FULLY backwards compatible and its upgradble
Weird, I found the exact opposite in regards to L4D2, on PC I can play great, yet on xbox I felt dirty playing it. And Black Ops the opposite again, i'm always first or second on PS3 and on PC i'm lucky if I get a RCXD with hardline!Greyfox105 said:
consoles suck cow nipples-.-
1: terrible controls
2: no different settings of graphics etc.
3: no free mods, dlc, skins etc
4: hardware cant be upgraded (have to constantly buy the newest version)
5: console games are usually more expensive
6: pc has easy internet access
7: pc can minimize the game window and do multiple things at a time
8: if you have a laptop you can easily transport it
why do you think all good games nowadays are released on pc a year after their console release? otherwise nobody would buy the consoles-.-

PC user here - been an avid PC gamer since the Commodore64.
I've owned quite a few console over the decades, but I'm a keeper of the faith.

depends on the situation;
If I am having a half dozen friends over to game until our eyes bleed... its gonna be halo or gears or something of the like on my 360. That is for two reasons, firstly because I have a 6foot TV with Bose surround sound. And secondly, because you can't split screen a PC game, almost none of them even support it. Thus, the 360 is gonna be the place for the party.
Alternatively... if I really want to make someone cry, I'm booting up my Sager laptop. The it runs absolutely everything on max settings, and its easier to get hold of more games, that said, it ultimately boils down to the mouse reaction speed for crushing the hopes and dreams of my foes.

TBH, it depends on the title, and how patched it is - and what server you're playing on.C95J said:
A lot of the big-league titles use PunkBuster, which is a 3rd party app that runs in the background on your rig, and the server, and will boot users for "cheats." It has it's occasional downfalls, but it keeps everything legit.
Some games, like CoD4, playing on a PB enabled server - there is NO cheating or hacking at all. It's simply non-existant. The current patch versions take care of the majority of glitches, and PB takes care of the rest. The one server I always paly on, I can only count one instance in the last 6 months of a user making use of an aim-bot, and the were permanently banned from the server within 5 minutes.
From my experience PC vs. console. Cheating, hacking and glitching isn't really a problem in the PC realm.
A much rehashed topic. Oh well, I will answer the same way.
I consider both different yet equal gaming experiences. Console gaming is better with friends over, is simple to set up and has a number of exclusives that I love. PC gaming on the other hand uses a mouse and keyboard[footnote]I love using a controller too but the mouse and keyboard allows for finesse and multiple hotkeys...>_>[/footnote] as well as having better RTS and MMO's. That and mods, oh mods...
So, in conclusion, I love both equally in their own unique way. As there is no option on the poll for my opinion, I did not vote. Happy New Year!
It all depends on the server (and the game I guess). Moderated servers? Only the bold cheat. Unmoderated servers? It really depends on the ethics of the people gaming there really... If no one votes off a cheater, it opens the door for more and... well, honest players like me just leave.C95J said:
I've come to really prefer PC games over the last two years. I don't know why, but they've become more appealing to me with the keyboard/mouse control setup. I'd say racing games still require you to use a wired 360 controller though.
i prefer gaming on consoles because you don't have to upgrade your hardware every year or less, but controls on PC for shooters is better
Where's the option for "no strong preferance"?
But that's basically my awnser, I'll play anything, on anything.
Preferenses only come in on certain games.

Console. Mostly, I don't give a damn about FPS or RTS titles, so I have no reason to reap the "benefits." I'm not a graphics whore, so the most recent bleeding edge card means nothing to me, and I don't mind taking a hit to make sure the game runs on my setup.
I understand a mouse gives people more control but I'll take twin sticks if it means I don't have to WASD. In fact, I freaking hate keyboards as an input device.
So if I can skip out on that, WOOHOO!
