What do you think is better, playing your favourite game on a PC or console (like Xbox, Playstation or the Wii)? I have three reasons that lead me to believe that PC Gaming is better than console.
1. PC hardware: Keyboards and mice are compatible to different hot keys. For example, you can change the controls from the arrow keys to a WASD setup in a first or third person shooter. On a console, keys are welded onto their set button and can rarely be changed. Another bonus of this is mouses and keyboards with extra programmable keys can even be used to control not just where you are aiming, but also movement in an first or third person shooter. There are endless possibilities of different controls with modifiable and programmable keys. Lastly but not least many games are compatible with Xbox as well as PS3 controllers.
2. Games can be purchased and downloaded without requiring you to go to a store like EB games. Games can be purchased through programs like Steam, which allow you to buy a game and download it. Steam also hosts a few online servers for their games and allows for you to communicate with friends through chat as well as voice chat. Another program similar to this is Origin. Origin is a program very similar to steam but only contains games made by Electronic Arts. Origin also allows for voice chat. The main positive thing about these programs is that games are much cheaper on them and also save you the time and effort of having to go to a store.
3. For many games, modifications are created by players. This cannot be done on console due to the lack of modification software. There are lots of mods available online for poppular games. For example, Minecraft contains many mod-packs created by players that still require you to purchase the game. Skyrim has mods that range from weather and lightning to building your own house. The best thing about these mods is that they are all free.
I believe PC gaming is much better than console gaming. What do you think?
