Are PC Gamers Too Good for Console Gamers?

and WHEN they can't win. Whoops

I'll tell you what, you try making a PC game. While doing it, because you need to make your money back, you want to hit the largest audience. So that includes A pentium 4 with a Geforce 6600 to a 8 core CPU w/ 3 GPU's. Have fun cause it'll take you 10x's as long as 100x more money. When on a console. everyone has the same hardware.... much easier.

[citation][nom]applegotmelaid[/nom]Quality of gamer, not of game machine. PC = High quality gamers because they put time and effort (and money) into their custom machine. Console = casual gamers because they go to a store and buy a mass produced piece of equipment with no thought into what's inside. Controller doesn't matter either, I play Street Fighter 4 on PC, XBOX, and PS3 - fighters on PC version are WAY better than on both consoles. For FPS, I can see the advantage of KB and Mouse.[/citation]

I got tired of dumping 300 bucks into new video cards every year, that's why I gave up on PC gaming and moved over to Console gaming. It's great that your only hobby is PC gaming, but a lot of us (and i've been playing games since ZORK (look it up)) have lives to pay for too 😀

FPS = PC keyboard/mouse > console/pc controller

Fighting Games = Arcade stick > keyboard(obviously)

MMO = PCkeyboard/mouse = console keyboard/mouse



Yes and let's remember. It's the player's skills not cpu/graphics hardware that determine the victor.

IMO the real reason they didnt do it was becuase they have control of profits off of the xbox live network. PC gamers are less likely to pay for online multiplayer gaming unless its a mm game only.

Yess!!! YESS!!! I always knew it! I always knew I was superior MUAHAHHAHAHA!! I IS EPIC PC!! wuhahaha!! wauhahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

From every aspect you see it,, PC always have wider options of hardware to use than any consoles. So yes, PC is superrrr.

My friend plays on xbox 360 mw2. PC gamers are smarter quicker and obviously have better aim.

"The console players got destroyed every time,"

- Statement issued by the Ministry Of the Bloody Obvious

Thanks for telling us what everyone knew already but console gamers refused to admit

 

[pollom]

the problem is I need bought,I ready have PC for gaming, PS3, Wii and 360 :O,

Auto-aim functions for Consoles always bugged me... but they are a MUST have because the aiming abilities of a joypad SUCK. Its not accurate. So you point to the baddy you want, and press fire... wow YOU ROCK!

With a mouse, you can aim between between object, or holes to shoot your enemy.

Console gaming is where the money at. MS proved that by no longer supporting PC Gaming. Gears of War 2 and 3 for PC? No...? PC gaming will CONTINUE to go downhill except for a few games. UT3 was proof of how much a company can Frack up a franchise.

So this was obvious without any real offical testing required. Best Console FPS players have NO skills but cursing and think they're kick-ass. Kind of like comparing a miniature-golf champion to a real GOLFER...

I think that the style of game depends on which type of control works better. I love PC gaming, and play almost all of my games on a PC, but my friends and I still play Super Smash Bros all the time, and I can't imagine ever playing that game with a mouse and keyboard. The same thing goes for third person action games like Devil May Cry or Kingdom Hearts. Try to imagine playing one of those games on a mouse and keyboard!

Love PC Gaming hate DRM.I'll stick to the older titles or games without DRM.The only console that I've ever owned was a Milton Bradley Vectrex in 1983.

 

[jacobdrj]

Umm, give xbox games USB keyboard and mouse capability. Problem solved...

 

[xAlphaMalex]

I think the point of this article is not that PC players are more skilled, but that the keyboard+plus mouse allows for greater control then dual analogue sticks. It should be "mouse + keyboard > console controller".

not really you can give someone thats never used a mouse and keyboard one and they will fail.This article is stated right.

besides console people get thier kills half way handed to them anyway.

 

[xAlphaMalex]

i had a vectrex as well back in the day

I would be interesting to see a world champion console gamer such as T-squared up against a "pretty decent" PC FPS-er, and then against a PC gamer world champ. That would be worth seeing.

In other news, games are far superior in terms of graphics and gameplay with the latest PC hardware to any console.

 

[bigpoppastuke]

Racing games should be cross platform; controller is better in this instance in my opinion.

 

[prodigygamer]

Not all Console players are "kiddies", there are Kiddies on both platforms and we all have to put up with them or put them on /ignore, I play both and enjoy both for different reasons.

Consoles have limited HUD's and Hotkeys so they are at a disadvantage to start with in most games.

PC's allow you much more control and also allow you to complete tasks with greater speed due to most things being at your finger tips.

You still see a lot of players with a ton of skill doing things I bet PC users would struggle with on a console and visa versa.

Silly comparison if you ask me. Players who only play on console would be lost trying to play on PC and PC players playing on console for the first time would get "owned" and have just as much difficulty.

"Are PC Gamers Too Good for Console Gamers?"
Yes.

I just spent a good deal of time trying to communicate this to a "must see games" post on thg. Very eloquently put, Marcus.

I'd have to agree. Seems like they only played FPS games against each other. For FPS and RTS games, for sure the keyboard and mouse is the best way to go. But for fighting, racing, or an action game (like God of War) I'll take a controller any day.

 

[kingnoobe]

I agree with tuna just put it in all games, and just have options to filter out cross platform.

 

[dEAne]

I don't know with other people, console has quite a different experience than pc gaming.

 

[Enjoy]

Why dont they do it? So finally once and for all the PC gamers can shut up the little kids without a single pube. And sure let them have keyboard and mouse. well still pwn them
