I'm a modder so I have to get it on PC.
I can't play games like Fallout 3/NV or Oblivion on console. The basic game is okay but never enough ... i'm greedy and I want more, with those games I can make more.
Although to be fair I gave up on consoles completely, gave mine to my son. Prefer the PC.
Don't care if a game isn't designed for the PC and it's a port I have that many utilities on my PC that 9 times out of 10 I can fix the issues myself.
When I had problems with a console game then I have to wait for them to patch it. With PC I can generally deal with it myself even if it is a pain in the arse it's still a hell of a lot faster.
Take Oblivion. People complain that the NPC's are bland yet in my game they all look, dress and act differently and all with high res textures (you have no idea how long that took me ... I swear I hope Skyrim is better than that, I never want to go through that again).
Main reason I wanted to get into modding is for that kind of thing. Morrowind was where I started and that was a ***** to mod for (thgouh Fallout 3 gave me more headaches).
You can have graphical overhauls, high res texture overhauls, NPC overhauls and generally improve the look and feel of everything without changing the game itself. On the console you will only ever get the pure basics.
I hear console users complain that Oblivion doesn't look very good yet on mine it looks awesome after spending close to 6 months going over each and every NPC and getting a load of graphical and texture improvements.
I don't care what anyone says, you can't compare games like that on the Pc and console, they are vastly different because a PC user can switch things up to how they want the game to be while a console player is stuck with the basics.
Not going to say PC is better in a generalising way, it may seem that way but I have a reason.
Being a modder I can't do what I want to do on a console, no freedom at all. For some people thats okay and it doesn't make any difference to them. It's not good enough for me.
I like my PC and I like my mods.
