Ive played CS: Source.

It was bad. 8 players on one huge map.

And I have played Halo 2 multiplayer. Better than CS, but not as good as PC.

Can you invite your friends over for a beer and a session of overnight gaming on a PC? No. Can you for a ps2/3? Yes.

They both have their different uses. Both have their pro's and cons, just like everything in life.

We get that you like PC>consoles...but seriously your starting to sound like a preacher.

You have a nice point there. I know Im sounding like a preachy nerd. I knew I was as I was writing it-it just seems like more of a preach because Ive repeated a lot of things Ive already said-too lazy to edit

Lag = Connection Problems
Slowdown = Hardware problems

No offense to all the console (xbox, playstation, nintendo etc) fans out there, you guys are getting ripped every moment of your life you play that game.

Why?

A console is basically a computer that uses a TV for its moniter. Its nothing more than that. A game on a TV screen rather than a computer screen. No big deal, right?

So using this handy piece of information, why the fu.ck are you playing video games on a console?

Youre literally paying for an incomplete computer when you buy a console. This big hype over new consoles is simply ridiculous. Why not just use a computer to play your games? All you need to buy is the game and download it for the PC.

Not to mention the controllers and the individual games you gotta buy to fully enjoy your console, you are losing money.

Multiplayer on console? Xbox Live? Bs. For most games, 8 or 16 max players on a map. On PC? Max 64 players. What seems more interesting?

The advantages of a console? None. Graphic quality difference between console and PC is nearly nil, as long as you have a smooth computer. Whats more mobile? The PC. What has more memory? The PC (and not those gay memory sticks you shove in a console to save your games). No hassle, no nothing.

Economically, youre saving money and saving the environment. A single computer alone generates shitloads of elctric bills-imagine using both a TV (to play those retarded sports games) and a computer (to play SRO

)

More than twice the electric bill.

Trash those gay consoles and get a PC.

Okay, go ahead, play your 1st generation graphics on your 19" LCD screen, while I play my state-of-the-art playstation 3 on a 60" Plasma 1080p TV.

....save money you say...money is money, nothing more, you say it like its the air in your lungs the water you drink the salt in the earth money, is one thing a smart person can do without..

console games are far superior to any pc game wit the exception of sc.

People buy consoles because of exclusive games and the fact you don't have to pay 3000$ for a 360 to run F.E.A.R on maximum quality with no lag at all

Bit like i said, you have to get a good pc to enjoy it as much as on a console. With consoles theyre made to run smoothly while playing games.

But i think its kind of pointless to say this. Because if you don't buy a console and invest more money in a pc, you'd only need the pc, right?

But your just proving my point more.. consoles are cheaper.

I think i said it b4, most people have both.

And the cheap console you speak of is high end. Doesnt lag or anything.. If you paid the same price for a pc all you'd get is lag.

Lol, lag isnt just connection problems. It means your computer is "lagging" behind. That can either mean connection wise or hardware wise. Ive seen the term lag used many a time for offline games before online gaming became so big. Mostly in modding games, Someone would make a cool mod but it would be too much and would cause the game to "lag".

No they are not, games are made to run smoothly on the console. Companys cant take their game engines to their limits on a console like they can on a pc. They can only take it to what that console can handle. This often means having to tone down graphics and features before the release so that it does run smoothly on the console. On PCs however it dosnt have to be toned down so mcuh and the people who dont have quite so good PCs can tone the quality down themselves. And with PCs almost all games can be tweaked to look even better if your hardware is good enough. You can force higher resolutions and more texture sampling and more AA. On consoles these settings are usually lower then the PC versions were at default anyway!

As for gameplay, its whatever floats your boat. Might not look as good as it could on a PC but if you like a game on a console, who cares? Graphics may be a very nice bonus but they aint everything. I myself prefer gaming on my PC though, my 360 is just for the odd game here and there and for when im bored and i want to play some singleplayer games.
