Really fun video.

"It's better on PCCCCCCCCC, play games the way their meant to be.."

Let's see, I can sit alone in front of my computer and play a PC game, assuming I've upgraded my system recently enough...ooooor...I can sit in my living room with a 50" display and enjoy a game with my entire family.

PC is great if you're young and have no responsibilities. Wait till you have a family and priorities that preempt spending a ton of money on PC hardware. Consoles will make a lot more sense to you then.

yeah...you don't know anything about PCs, do you

PCs = Requires updates (drivers), configurations, etc. Easy to break too. However, no modding and hacking on consoles.

However, I still prefer computer games over consoles. I just don't have time to deal with them! I am six days behind with Blue's News now.

To be fair, @TheFreak's argument is not completely invalid.

The question is, are PC's better, I think you and I would agree that yes they are. TheFreak's argument did nothing to disprove that, he merely argued that RL gets in the way as you just demonstrated.

Well no shit. I have a huge backlog of games thanks to steam sales and I'm seriously trying to figure out how to give more money to Star Citizen without breaking the bank. And yes, I have a life outside of gaming and a job that demands a lot of my time.

Still doesn't mean PC games aren't better. In the console world, I have to save every flipping console ever made and hope that they never break down. Oh yeah, and I have to re-buy games I've bought before when they re-release them on the new platform. (you've seen AVGN's basement right? ManCave aspect aside, that place is completely unrealistic to everyone else

PC's not so much, as long as the software exists and I have storage, I can play it. I'm not locked into hardware or some online service. I'm not at someone's mercy if the corporation shuts things down.

no shit they require a modest bit more effort and money. again, that doesn't disprove that PCs are better. Many things that are better require a bit more effort.

Quite a bit actually, since I'm a systems engineer. I also gamed competitively on PC's, before all that was national and international. I modded games, built 3D models for games, built all my computers custom with the newest video cards, payed through the nose for the fastest broadband...

and then life happened

I don't argue that the quality of graphics on PC games is better and Steam is an excellent service. I just find that with family and other responsibilities I need to make the most of my time now. Sitting in front of my computer screen for hours not engaging with my family is hardly an option. But I can play tons of games with my family on console. For me, PC's are a solo activity with a huge ongoing investment in time and money. Consoles, I pay once and enjoy from the comfort of my couch, on a giant screen, while engaging with my family.

My real point is that PC's are a great option if your life allows it. Consoles fill a different niche. Just like XBox and PS are aimed at different interests. No one's going to win the argument.

Ditto. For me, I just rarely play games these days. I do play random short Flash games once in a while.
