Pc Gaming Vs Console Gaming by dinoxiv(m): 5:08pm On Jan 08, 2014
Pro's & Cons...


PC Gaming

Pros:
1)Insanely better graphics on up to date PC's Laptops
2)Games are cheaper (If your into buying -got my max payne 3 for about $10)
3)Better & more accurate controls in keyboard & mouse combi. (Gamepads are also available)
4)Free cracked Pir. Titles (in just 'bout a week after their release) from groups like blackbox,reloaded,3DM,R.G Mechanics...etc
5)Portability (Using a Laptop)
6)Better connectivity -Dedicated servers for (online PC gamers) + LAN gaming
7)Modding -Unlimited Free 3rd Party Customization in almost every game. I'm sure many have tasted d new experience from Mods in games like PES & FIFA -but that's even basic.
coolBACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY gives U access to oh'so many games (i'd dare say, more than that of d 360 & PS3 put together )
9)Dual display setups.


Cons:
1)Loads of technical issues which need ‘tinkering' in order to get the game running as best it can on your PC.
2)High INITIAL cost.


Console Gaming

Pros:
1)Plug and play, easy initial set up (no tinkering /technical skills required)


Cons:
1)Graphically inferior to high-spec PCs
2)More restricted controls, Just gamepads
3)Outrageous Cost of games (would just about tripple that of the console in two years)


I'm a PC gamer so my views r probably(if not highly) biased.


My opinion: Save the cash on console games + the price of the console & get yourself a very capable/future-proof PC/Laptop & download your games or get sm @ about N500
& exchange with others... also get an Xbox/logitech controller & a gaming mouse... Ucom pads & typical Mice won't cut it.

It's more cost effective.

If you're into console gaming, pls. enlighten me & i myt mk d switch...


*Below, SOME of my games... got 'em all free apart from Fifa 14, Max Payne 3 & Hitman Abs 'cos i lv 2 play them online.
