Message: [QUOTE="Pandaprewmaster325, post: 69573, member: 217919"] there is always this console war that's been going since long time but have you stopped and thought "maybe maybe consoles aren't the best way to play games" I will explain why in 2025 PC has to be the best way to game. 1-mouse and keyboard: the mouse and keyboard allow for a smoother FPS experience add on it the fact that RTS (real time strategy) is always an exclusive for the PC while there has been attempts at trying to bring RTS onto consoles like warcraft 2 , red alert 1 and red alert 3 and more recently age of empires 2 it always required some change of UI layout and adding special mechanics that help make the game easier to play using a controller , however the reaction to getting attacked and troops movement can never be as precise as playing on PC. 2-mods: have you ever seen a mod played on a PS? An XBOX? I don't think so mods are always an exclusive to the PC port , allowing a modifiable experience and sometimes even changing the gameplay making the game more replayable some games can be improved using mods like GTA san Andreas where mods improve the dumb and outdated AI making the friendly AI capable of shooting accurately and police a force to be reckoned with , games like CNC generals live solely off mods like rise of the reds that adds russia and European coalition into the game with fully developed factions and fully voice acted too , games like half life also live by due to user generated content which is only possible to create using the PC......not to mention if the game is easy to mod you can edit it yourself feel like this weapon needs a buff? You can do it! This item costs too much money? You can make it cheaper! This unit moves too slow? Why not make it faster! And you can also add new stuff you want if the game allows it , some games don't even need special programs to mod like red alert 2 the INI file responsible for all game balance is sitting in game directory right there for you to edit to your liking anytime.....in san Andreas you can mess with people health and make grove street members capable of absorbing way more damage than usual. 3-ability to change the rig: while consoles come in generations to stay up to date with the latest technology , the PC can be updated part by part replacing your RAM? You can do it! A more modern CPU? Yup that's possible , meanwhile the console is stuck with the same parts until the next generation comes by.... 4-the PC is the most versatile machine: the consoles are mostly for gaming purposes and entertainment only the PC on the other hand can come in handy with work whether it be Microsoft office or excel to graphic design and animation creation programs like the DS3max and Photoshop and editing software sounds like a more well rounded investment to me ::agree 5-emulation: want a PS exclusive? On pc? Well its possible! The PC allows you to install emulators which act as a pathway to experiencing games that aren't usually ported to PC lessening the need to buy a console and saving you the money to upgrade your rig even more ::eyebrows Overall in 2025 with PS slowly getting rid of their long standing exclusive policy the time for consoles might have come to an end or is it? While what I did above was praising the PC it has few downsides most important of them is it can cost more to get a proper strong PC that can run most things compared to a complete package that never changes cost that is a PS or an XBOX even a switch....(yay Nintendo mentioned happy now Nintendo fans?) Another thing to add is the PC can require more space than consoles getting it a table only for it while the PS and XBOX can be just shoved near TV screen and take little space compared to the PC. A third downside has to be football games they are better played with controllers than keyboard and mouse as they really shine when a controller is used to play them. A forth thing to add is some games are best played in their console format like metal gear solid with mantis fight. And fifth XBOX gamepass is quite appealing. Finally I would like to say that this ISN'T an advertisement for PC. [/QUOTE]
