Gaming has been a part of our culture for an extremely long time.
Whether you're a casual gamer, who doesn't like all the competition of
most games, or you're a hardcore gamer who enjoys games like Halo,
Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty. There have been two platforms for
gaming. Consoles and PC. Both are extremely different and many people
have their own opinion on which is better. Well lets compare the pros
and cons together shall we?
Lets start with PC gaming. PC gaming
is huge. Over 4 million people are constantly online on Steam so there
are a lot of PC gamers. PC games are also much cheaper. Normally a
higher quality game is only $50 while on console they are $60. Not only
that there are a lot of exclusive games only on PC. Most of these
exclusives are only around $20 while delivering quality normally only
seen in triple A titles. PC games also have more value then their
console counter-parts. Most games have player made modifications that
add hours of content to a game. It could be anything from more weapons
to an entire side story added onto the game. Older games also tend to
get a new paint job over time as players create graphic mods that
enhance the graphics of the game to make it look more modern. PC gaming
also tends to have a better experience. Take Battlefield 3 for example. I
personally have Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360 and it's a blast with
friends, but when I play it on PC it's amazing. There is constant action
which is sometimes lacking from the console version. You also have a
ton of free to play games on PC. Recently Planetside 2 was released for
PC. It follows up on the previous game giving players a map that makes
Battlefield 3 a joke and delivering amazing quality that PC is also cost
efficient, because it costs about the same as a normal home computer
plus a console. In fact if you can jump on a sale for computer parts or a
website that builds gaming PCs you can get one for about $700 or less!
That's a lot cheaper than buying a home computer and a console since the
average home computer costs about $600 and a console is about $200 or
more. You're saving money already!
