@DarkRhythm your calls for civility are going ignored!
Its very poor form to deliberately misquote people. You ever wonder why nobody else does that?

you 2 deserve each other
The lesson I want to put out is that, if you are going to argue about which is the better of two things, you better have at least a basic knowledge in both subjects because otherwise you're going to come off as someone who has no clue what they are saying.

What are people even arguing about? Look, first, of all most of you are full grown adults. Stop acting like children on the playground. Secondly, every platform has good games on it you can't get anywhere else, this is why I own not only a PC but also a 360 and a PS3. As long as there are games you want on both consoles and personal computers it's hypocritical to declare one platform "better" or "superior". They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but the interpretation and valuation of these is entirely subjective and in so much as opinions are endemic to thier holders, arguing based on the strength of each intrapersonal metric is entirely pointless and even less persuasive.
In conclusion and summation, as Aescales once said, go eat a dick.
In my personal experience, I enjoy the amount of control I have on the PC. Consoles on the other hand are easier to use. I have never spent the whole day overhauling my console's systems to play one game. I have on PC. Then again, my PC will never fail to be backwards compatible. Even if OS's change dramatically somebody will write a program enabling me to run my old games in a shell. Pc's can have beautiful graphics, but being on the cutting edge on horsepower usually comes with a hefty price. Steam is a great platform for sales. If you're okay with helping to build a monopoly. Strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn't want to live in a world where either consoles or PC's ceased to exist, and if you wouldn't either then what's the point in arguing? If this person loves thier PC or thier console, good for them. You are never going to convince them they are wrong for doing so. Their gaming platform brings them comfort and enjoyment. You just bring them annoyance.

You game on a console, so anything to be added on a highly intellectual, speculator manner is null to the overall outcome of this topic in a "versus" setting. Seeing as you even agree with my point of view. Nit-picking over prices and using small examples of cheap brands of PCs yet accentuating what a $1,500 complete pre-built gaming PC is capable of, compared to a PS4 isn't even a proper comparison.
You game on a console, so clearly you made a conscious decision with your money on what to purchase. Simply trying to justify PC for what it is today on small technicalities like "Well it has better graphics" when avoiding the other major factors that lead to it's 2nd hand-gamer use, is simply again, just nit-picking. I'm right, and you agree with my point of view. Stop trying to pretend their is this fake subtle line of intellect that I haven't yet discovered, it's really pitiable of you.

can't argue with that description of me.
The only thing that can be agreed is an open and loosely interpretative blanket statement that there are some benefits to owning a console. My reasons are different than you, but I recognize that console games have certain games not available on console, and I prefer using a pad for fighting games. Everything else I disagree with you and I never asserted that I did in any other manner.
You'll get it one day and then the forum experience will be a lot more enlightening
And in case you don't realize, part of being a mod is providing impartial assessment to what is being said. Its easy for me to remain objective and call out bullshit when I see it.
I'm not joining this thread because I think it is " fun". I'm doing so because false information is being stated (which is something you can quote me on earlier).

You're like a car driving who doesn't own a motorcycle, but you're here to talk about how great motorcycles are, under the pretense that you're trying to 'clarifying everything'. You've done a great job of posting nonsense without actually taking a firm stand on either side.
Case and point, you bought a console over a PC, that just killed any amount of credibility you had. Now if you were a PC exclusive player (or a hardcore one in general), then your opinion would matter, but seeing as you just jump ship, and throw your little shoes on board to say "well it's a good gaming platform" just makes your whole argument look pitiable.
I posted to a bunch of credible articles discussing about piracy and why PC get less exclusives, and why consoles have become mainstream. You've got nothing to argue about other than nit-picking nonsense about build costs / component quality. Now go build a gaming PC from scratch, all under $600 and let's see if you're as knowledgeable as you claim to be. Let's see it happen.

I never said I didn't have a PC. What do you think i'm using to browse the forums on ? My phone ? Its not rocket science that having a PC or a console is not mutually exclusive.
Are you getting confused with the fact that multiple people are arguing with you and you are getting your facts wrong ? So once again, you had no place to reply to me because you don't have your facts right.
Why else would I have been recently looking for decent bargains for PC parts? If you think that it is solely to prove you wrong, then you've got an inflated ego that doesn't seem to match your reputation. You seem so sure of yourself in your postings that it appears you have adopted a tactic where your response to being proven wrong is to "ignore and change the subject".
I think that the true "pitiable" action was when someone mouths off without knowing what they are talking about. Are you going to actively try to embarass yourself, or are you so beyond redemption that shame has no meaning to you ? If you want to try to call me out, at least make sure its not based on a set of assumptions which you inevitably will be proven wrong.
I don't even need to resort to arguing because I've been 100% correct in my statements because you have been unable to prove them wrong. If you're here wondering why I'm still here, its because I'm here to call you out on your bullshit and shut down your series of misstatements
Did you really think your $600 challenge through ?? You're the guy who posted the bracketed PC builds and now you want my help ? Its not that hard to place an order over the net to the many online computer stores. I'm sure you can borrow your parent's credit card or something.
It has already been firmly established that I am knowledgeable than you. Its not much of an achievement though.

Basically you have an ambition to establish some sort of reputation as a knowledgeable and persuasive debater when the truth is that you are poorly misinformed and not credible. I'm concerned with your insatiable appetite for being humiliated online. When your thought process matures then you'll realize what i'm pointing out to you. Maybe I should save you the trouble and just reply with a generic "get your facts right before a reply is warranted" but then I believe that forum goers should be given personal attention to keep the atmosphere of the forums more pleasant.

Just gonna be that guy who gives a simple answer as a gamer on all systems throughout the years.
Pc gaming is crazy fun if you have a good PC. With the fact there are many more options for mmo and rpg players I find myself playing on the computer a lot. With the fact its easy to stay in contact with friends on the pc using programs like skype and teamspeak it becomes a great system for community gaming. Because the potential for pcs is a massive amount you can find yourself lost in vast game worlds such as Tera online where the scenery is breathtaking and the world seems almost alive.
Consoles are fun because sometimes its nice to just sit back with a controller in a chair and play a good fighting game. I love fighting games but I never would want to play them on a pc and thats the main reason consoles have their purpose. Some games I just enjoy more playing on a console. And with the way consoles have other things such as achievements in games(which I know some pc games do) it becomes a fun way to enjoy games while seeing all of your effort through the history of games build up. Another plus to consoles is that you arent buying a new part every year just to play the latest games. You only have to buy a new system every time a new generation drops. Consoles also give you the ability to play locally with friends without needing an entire other system. Just split screen with another controller and you have hours of fun.
I do not see one as superior to other but instead being built for different gaming purposes.

"Building a PC is easy, and it's inexpensive! I should know, because I game on console!"
"Wait.... what...?"
I think you meant to type "more knowledgeable than you"? *cough* Irony *cough*.
No, I just want to expose you as a chef who won't even eat the food he cooks. You claim building a PC isn't complicated, and it's inexpensive, the exact opposite of what I'm saying. So in that regard, if you had any truths to your bold statements, then it'd be no problem for you to just build a gaming PC of yours own from scratch, and buy all the components cheap online.
That is unless.... You're just a glorified console gamer here to try and act like a pseudo-intellectual. Talk is cheap, go build one and show everyone how "simply" and inexpensive it is. I'm about 90% sure you've never built a gaming PC in your life and wouldn't even know how, so the whole debate on buying non-pre built platforms is pretty idiotic of you to even say.

Now go out Wuht, and build a PC for under $600 and let's see if you don't screw it up, or your un-updated graphics card is too low grade to even play Xbox360 titles. Let's see you actually build one instead of talking about it.
(A gaming PC, you know like AlienWare, ones for games? I never said a PC for posting on message boards, lmfao!)

I understand this might be hard for your fanboy brain to process, but let me try to break it down for you one more time:
- A person can own a gaming PC
- Said person can also own a game console
- It is possible for this person to play games on either system at any given time
- They are not mutually exclusive
Ishimaru Jinrai

Yep, I own both, but I prefer console for the reasons I listed on the other page. =]
I gamed on PC since 2003, when I was really young, playing on FFXI mostly.

You're not very smart, if anything that validates me more. I played on both platforms but willingly chose a console over a PC for said reasons. Hence I'm bashing PC now, calling it complicated and expensive.
Does that even register in your brain?

I just told you I have a PC and I game on it. Its like you can't grasp the concept that those are not mutually exclusive. Just google the term it is actually a common expression.
The second point is you don't ever see the need to ask before you speak. You're all happy looking up random quotes on the internet, but you don't have the backbone to simply ask me if I also game on a PC like 10 posts ago.
Can't blame you for trying, since you've given up trying to clean up your own image apparantly and you're hoping to change the subject once again.
Looks like the majority of the forum goers look like scholars compared to you. Intellect is relative and you're really making me look good. I mean you can try to poke holes in my response, but i'll leave some typos for you to have a little bit of a pity victoryyy.
You're making it so hard lol. You know there are assembly guides and manuals that come with the products right ? As well as simple youtube videos showing how to connect things together.
The fact that your definition of a gaming PC is "alienware" shows how little you know. I already told you to stop being a brand whore when it comes to PC to save yourself some cash and yet you fail to heed proper advice. Its only complicated because you don't know how to do it, and that reconfirms my position that you are not credible enough to have a proper debate between PCs and consoles.
If you can't get it, this is the thread so far in an easy to understand example.
1.You are debating about cats (representing PC) and dogs (presenting consoles) with different people.
2.Both are 4 legged furry animals that can be pets, but are also different in many ways. You start talking about how great dogs are.
3.You next start posting that cats have wings.
4.I don't need to pick a side between cats and dogs to know cats do not have wings. I come in and correct you. 5.Things seem to not go anywhere and you accuse me of having a dog so I must be a dogs lover yet I am arguing about cats.
6.You next say I don't have a cat so i'm not qualified to talk about cats even though not having wings isn't exactly an esoteric fact.
7. I tell you to make sure you get your facts right and that I actually have both a cat and a dog.
8. Now you are telling me to go get a new cat for under $600 dollars even though it was never my point to begin with that cats can be bought for $600.
You've been trying to get me to commit to this argument but I'm perfectly content staying above debating with you and rather point out your bullshit. You are getting your arguments mixed up with different people and it's understandable given how many people you've got disagreeing with you. Its confusing where you feel the need to belittle people given your posting track record
