Console or PC?

No, this isn't a declaration of war. I'm just curious what the ratio of console to PC gamers is here. I'm primarily a PC gamer, but if there's a game I really want to play and it isn't available on PC yet (or won't be), I'll get it for console.

PC vs console gaming in a nutshell...
Personally for me, I do both. I lean more towards console more than PC.

Right now I'm more of a console(/handheld) player on my PS4/Vita. I actually prefer playing on consoles because it can be laid back on the couch next to my boyfriend rather than alone, upstairs on my PC in a not-so-comfy chair. I have played a lot on PC in the past though, but that was only for WoW.0

PC. I'll only play a game on a console if it isn't available to play on PC.0
-
I love multiplayer games, so I typically will be on whichever has my friends playing....which means both. Although, if I had to compare logged time, probably PC more than console.0

Any of you on Steam? I have a code for "Project Cars" and "The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky" for whoever wants them.0

I split my time between PC and Vita. I really like visual novels on the Vita for when I am just mindlessly walking around. Currently enjoying the Danganronpa series. Still on Trigger Happy Havoc, but hoping to have that and Goodbye Dispair done by the time volume three comes out this year.0

^How is the Danganronpa series? I just finished Steins;Gate and highly recommend it if you haven't played it already.0

I haven't. Danganronpa is my first foray into visual novels at all. It's quite twisted, in a distinctly Japanese way. It FEELS light and cartoony at first; then you pretty quickly start to realize what a sick *kitten* that "teddy bear" really is.0 -
I am actually thinking about getting PS or a gaming PC .. hmmm0

Awesome. Had the same thoughts about Steins;Gate. At first, I thought it was just going to be some light-hearted, silly game...I was wrong. Very wrong.0 -
PC for Skyrim because i'm addicted to modding it and a couple of single player games.I'm useless playing FPS with keyboard and mouse so PS4 for everything shooter based plus God of war, The Last of Us etc0

Yeah, I've noticed that to be a common thing in good Japanese storytelling. "Once upon a time, in the bright and fluffy kingdom ofOHMYGODEVERYONEISBEINGMURDERED!"1 -
You forgot..."oh, and there goes a fluffy critter across the screen in a funny manner."0

^Pretty much. lol0

I've conquered the not-so-comfy problem by connecting my PC to my TV through HDMI and using my Steam Controller or using in-home streaming to stream from my rig to my laptop. For non-Steam games it's PC to TV and an Xbox controller. Actually, come to think of it, the only time I actually game at the PC is when I'm playing an MMORPG. XD

I honestly don't know which I loved more: Danganronpa or Steins;Gate. Danganronpa has a little bit more gameplay whereas Steins;Gate just blows you away with the amazing story. I loved Steins;Gate 0 too though the first one is still better imo. Can't wait for Danganronpa 3!_Justinian_ wrote: »Gallowmere1984 wrote: »_Justinian_ wrote: »^How is the Danganronpa series?

MMORPG's are best played at the PC though I'm playing Final Fantasy XIV on PS4 now and they actually made it work really well with a controller. Never thought that'd be possible. You do need a keyboard to communicate though, but other than that is plays great!Right now I'm more of a console(/handheld) player on my PS4/Vita.

I mostly use consoles for gaming (ps4 and wii u). I've been playing in my PC a.little more lately and got a steam account. I think by the end of this console cycle I might try building my own gaming rig.0

My husband and I play both pretty evenly. Favorite game ever was the original Thief for PC, that game changed my life. Seriously.0
-
I started a console player, now I play most of my games on PC. Mostly because I like taking screen shots and making vids, though I know most consoles now have that capability. Though I will play some console only games if we have the console, though typically means not for a loooong time.0

I play on consoles. I prefer Ps4/Vita but Would love to get a gaming computer one day.0

PC. I have tried console games, but never really liked them that much. I've been a PC gamer for 32 years, and old habits are hard to break.
I'm mostly an MMOer though, and my MMOs only run on the PC (WoW and Lord of the Rings Online).
The Nintendo Switch sounds cool though, and so does the Zelda. I do enjoy Zelda games, but I'm crap at them. Don't have the money for it though, so drooling over the Switch is as far as it goes. Lol0 -
I have done both, but currently just console (PS4). Playing Skyrim Remastered.0
-
I play on PC and XBox systems as well as Nintendo from NES to SNES and Wii if you can count the Woi0
-
I use mostly my PS3, as my laptop uses a Celeron processor (long story). There are some games I play online via PC that aren't graphics-heavy, pretty much just builder games (no, no Zynga games. Period), and one MMO.0

I do both, but generally stick to PC to avoid TV wars with my husband. If a new game comes out that I don't want to get on PC yet or if I'm going to play with my friends I'll get on the Xbox, but other than that I'll be on the PC.
I will say it is very hard for me to switch between the two sometimes if I'm going to play the same game (started playing Portal 2 on PC then switched to Xbox to play with a friend and took me a while to relearn the controls), but for most games I've played on both I like playing on PC better because I feel like it just looks prettier and I like playing with appearance mods.1 -

I try not to play the same games on multiple systems because of that.0 -
After my PS3 was stolen, I didn't have the funds to buy another console and my brother introduced me to PC games to fill the void. By the time I had the funds to get a new one, I was hooked on PC games and didn't care enough about console games to pay what they ask for their systems. There were just so many great games for PC, a few of them entirely free, and I was tired of dropping big bucks every couple of years for a new console model. My crappy factory-standard HP Touchsmart lasted me years. Heck, it still runs games just fine, but I've upgraded to a custom PC since.
I do miss console games from time-to-time, though, and get a craving for some old-fashioned gameplay. I think I might try talking my boyfriend into getting one when we move.0 -
I do both but I like my console. I use to be super into computers and now they drive me insane. I don't want to take the time and money to have a good computer that runs every game I like when I can just have a console and not worry about anything. Plus on Xbox One my husband buys the game on his account and I have my xbox set as his home. So he buys it once and we both play. On the PC we would both need copy. Plus I love my big TV and my comfy chair more than sitting at a desk. I work in an office and sit on a computer alllllll day long, so I have gotten where I don't even want to touch my computer at home anymore. It just isn't relaxing anymore. Oh and everyone we knows plays on Xbox almost and we like playing games together. Plus Halo...0

PC mostly. I have a PS3, PSP, DS, and 3DS that are all collecting dust. I'm looking to upgrade my PC to a i7-7700K or Ryzen 7 1700X or 1800X. Not sure what to go with. My Brother has a PS4, we sometimes play that when he visits. Towerfall Ascension is a blast to play coop.1
