This is a chart that gives you the idea about how much cheaper PC is and the build I made is actually very similar too the build I have listed. There are other reasons why you should switch

Better Game Selection- PC has a better game selection overall you can't deny it there's multiple stores to buy from, tons of free games, lots of genres not widely available on Console.

Better Graphics this is very obvious one but its another to add because we like beautiful games and if you don't then would you rather play watch dogs or battlefield 4 on a NES or a PC?

Mods - PC has lots of Mods that can improve games/ make new games out of old games, Modding is frowned upon on Consoles and some Developers on PC go out of the way to make the game friendly to mods.

More Hardcore/Casual - There's more super hardcore players and we all seen those guys playing StarCraft for hours upon hours without stopping and then there's casual players playing Minecraft or casual indie games.


There's many more pros to be listed but I don't want this thread to be too long

I agree with your post but like I said, not everyone wants a pc, too much.


Its no worse then the settings and such with a cfw ps3. And half the things u listed aren't a issue

If you are loading a driver for a controller you are doing something wrong. That's hasn't been required since XP. Vista of all things came bundled with generic drivers so most controllers worked as soon as you plugged them in. If you are going to try and make an argument at least understand what you are talking about.

When i played games on my PC, i used my ps3 controller and yes i did need a driver for it to understand it on games. and this thread is a debate thread, he is saying why we should choose pc other than console, im trying to state a negative, becauase there not all positive. no argument needed.

You don't have to overclock if you don't want to. I personally haven't overclocked my 4770k mainly because Haswell chips aren't good overclockers. Graphic settings aren't even a hassle, they're simple. You have two real viable options, max fps or eye candy. Personally I prefer getting as many frames as possible so I play on low, if you want eye candy you can play on high/ultra.

E.G. BF4 on PS4 - Put disc in, update, play.

BF4 on PC - Disc in, install, gotta jump through PunkBitch hoops, gotta set up punkbuster so they both run at same time (99% of the time you have to switch it yourself) then you'll be lucky to get into a game right away and be on your merry way.

Also most people find it 1000% more complex to use a keyboard and mouse over a controller. I mean, I prefer keyboard and mouse but whatever. :p

P.S. Mind if I put this in my sig?


I've never had any issues with punkbusters, it sets itself up when you do the initial install of the game. In terms of KB/M once you get used to it, which doesn't take much since it eventually becomes muscle memory and you'll enjoy the experience tenfold.

If you are a pc gamer why would you pay $50 for a ps3 controller? The logic doesn't exist there considering there are better options for less money.

Because at the time. I played ps3 and was used to their controller hence if a pc gamer is used to a ps3 controller why buy an xbox controller? Or why would they buy one in the first place, don't talk logic. Besides people buy and do different things, so maybe a pc gamer would buy a ps3 controller, personally I prefer the ps3 controller over xbox.
