Forums → Games → Will PC overcome Consoles? No!

@SSTG - Do you know the STEPS to try emulating a PSP or PS2? And if any of those fails go back to start and hope you find the part that messed up. And that's just getting the emulator to work in the first place. Now hope the copy of the game you want to play works.

Heck, trying to play a PS1 game and it freezes. On everything I've tried. With just about every fix I've tried to look up. Please note mods, I'm not naming programs.

Also, a PC can emulate any console. Try to beat that!

Pssh, I can only get to Atari 2600 up to the N64. Any further, too much work for me.

Fact: Consoles are actually dying.

So just saying, PC's are not really marketed to for gaming. And with proper equipment and knowhow, Yes you CAN emulate any console. As for as not using a keyboard for racing games, I actually do better on a keyboard (Look man I don't know either.) As for fighting games, I would just use my Xbox controller. As an added bonus PC games are a bit ahead of the curb. I COULD NOT get Oblivion to look as crappy as it does on an Xbox. Also some companies are pretty PC freindly, just look at Gearbox. I don't this for certain but wasn't the Borderlands 2 DLC realesed earlier for PC? If it wasn't my bad but whatever. My biggest reason for wanting a console is now entirely irrelevant. I only wanted a console so I didn't have to worry about being connected to the internet, I know funny right. I think people are just going to stay ignorant about consoles and PC's and it will end up at the point were a console is just a PC with a weird screen. Also you used to have to use hydra vision to hook a PC up to a tv. Also a PC is far less restrictive than a console (not for long though) as far as what you can do with it.

Sorry for double posting let me fix that quot mistake.

I used to build my own PCs (desktops). It all changed when I bought this baby!

No need expensive capture cards anymore because I use laptops.
My main laptop is connected to a 30 inch HDTV, has a USB mouse connected to it, a USB soundcard ( http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UCA202-Audio-Interface/dp/B000KW2YEI/ref=sr_1_1/176-9257023-4700757?ie=UTF8&qid=1375399083&sr=8-1&keywords=behringer+usb+dac ) , nice speakers ( http://www.amazon.com/Creative-GigaWorks-Multimedia-BasXPort-Technolgy/dp/B001S14DYO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/188-7383788-9942643 ), a turntable to digitize my vinyls ( http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/ttusb ) , and a gamepad.

My other laptop that I use in the living room only has a USB mouse and a gamepad connected to it.
Now try to connect all these to a console! xD

The real question is will console ever overcome pc. The answer is no.

I prefer my consoles. I like having dedicated apps for all of my entertainment other than games. I still have to pay around $800-1000 for a decent computer to run SOME games, but I still can't run everything. Yeah, there are a bunch of indie titles for pc, which gives them a lot more games, especially with Gerry's mod, steam, and all that, but they're pretty much all MMO's, which are the same god **** thing over and over again, or they're indie games, which a good 90% of them suck, or you beat the game in 20 minutes and never play it again. Games and accompanying DLC's are usually$5-$25, but each time you have to buy a new one, it adds up

With consoles, I spend 500 or 600 bucks, and I get the top of the line, every time. Games are $60, but I at least get a full game, that will give me a few hours of gameplay. I also like having a controller versus a keyboard. I prefer consoles over PC's any day.
There are also a lot more fail point where a PC could break versus a console.

I think it comes down to preference really. I don't like playing online, because people are ******bags, and I like immersive, full stories versus just online multiplayer doing the same thing over and over again.

Halo: Wars is technically an RTS.

Pyro it sounds more like your talking about a console when you talk down to PC. Bye all the Fallout and ElderScrolls games to date most of which require no internet and the entire game can be purchased at a very reasonable price. Getting only new copies will cost you about 150$ if that, and it will keep most people entertained for a VERY long time. One more thing, It kinda makes sense that most people on this sight would be PC gamers considering that there isn't even a quarter of the games for mobile devices. Still consoles do have their merits, mainly games that only came out for that console that are a little more difficult to emulate on PC.

Literally the only thing going for consoles is their exclusives. The only reason I'm getting a PS4 is for some of dat fine From Software Hidetaka Miyazaki RPG gameplay. I might pick up an Xbone just for Halo. Those exclusives are evil.

*sigh* CONSOLE GAMES ARE MADE ON PC AND CONSOLES ARE NOT AS GOOD BECAUSE MOST GAMES ARE ON BOTH (unless exclusive e.g the last of us is ps3 only)
