PlayStation 3 Games are better than PC Games

Judging the title alone, I just know I am going to get a thousand comments saying things like “The PS3 is 5 year old hardware, you cant compare it to the PC.” First off, I am not judging graphics, nore do I care if your PC games has more lighting particles and higher res textures, I still have many valid reasons that PlayStation games surpass the PC.

One of the main things seen in a lot of PlayStation exclusives is the sheer size of the games. The PC offers nothing close to the scale of games like God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, and LittleBigPlanet. The developers of PS3 have managed to create massive games that we simple don’t see on the PC. There is not a single PC game with boss fights as big as the titans in GOW3, 1000 cars, or 2 million levels. This is hugely influenced by the developers, and what they have been able to do with the hardware. The extra space of Blu-Ray adds a lot more room to work with that the PC simply does not have, thanks to the fact no one wants to install a 50gb game.

Sony’s first party is outstanding at what they do, with nearly every first party game being critically acclaimed. They push out amazing games that equal or surpass the PC’s offerings. Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY. Sony’s track record of first party games is also heavily influenced by how they collaborate, sharing technologies and ideas between each over, which is simply not seen between PC developers.

Funding is also a huge factor in creating a games, and Sony’s studios get plenty of it. Not many PC games (Unless developed by Blizzard) have as much polish as games like Gran Turismo 5, or Uncharted. The PC also features a lot of bad games, much more than the consoles because of how easy it is to get a game out on the PC market. Actually, the PS3’s difficulty to develop for makes for overall better games, because developers are forced to learn the hardware before they can even start development. Sony also requires approval before the release, where as on the PC any game can hit the market, no matter how bad it is.

Creativity is also much higher on the PlayStation brand, with many more games pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. There is no alternative to the creation abilities of ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet on the PC. This genre has proven successful on consoles, and will remain strong for Sony.

Now before all the PC fanboys start posting screen shots bragging about graphics, I need to get this out of the way. PS3 games look plenty good, run in 720p, @30fps constant on 4 year old hardware. I think it does a pretty good job, and the games look plenty good for me to have fun. Overall PS3 games are simply higher quality, and offer more than the PC.

[Matthew94]

"Blu-Ray adds a lot more room to work with that the PC simply does not have, thanks to the fact no one wants to install a 50gb game."

No game uses that much except for games like MGS4 which just fills up the space with tonnes of lossless video and audio, not actual game content.

PC has no space limits due to the fact DD has taken over and everyone has massive HDD's. I have 1.5TB atm, do you think I care about a 50GB game?

" Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY."
Half Life
Starcraft
Fallout
Elder Scrolls
Doom

Also all of the above have been highly modded.

Counter strike = Came from a mod
Killing Floor = the same

Any ps3 games that came from a community and took the world by storm??

"or 2 million levels."

numbers =/= good. I could go on LBP and make a level shaped like a dick and it would count. Numbers don't = quality.

"The PC also features a lot of bad games, much more than the consoles because of how easy it is to get a game out on the PC market. "

That doesn't make the platform worse or make the best game any less good. You don't have to play those games.

"Creativity is also much higher on the PlayStation brand, with many more games pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. "

Look at steam indie section.
Braid
Audiosurf
Super meat boy
peggle
plants vs zombies
portal
garrys mod

"PS3 games look plenty good, run in 720p, @30fps constant on 4 year old hardware. I think it does a pretty good job, and the games look plenty good for me to have fun. Overall PS3 games are simply higher quality, and offer more than the PC."

A tonne of ps3 games run at sub hd but are upscaled.

PC can do 2400P, 8x AA, 16x MSAA running at solid 60FPS or higher. Throw in 3D for any game if you want. Can the ps3 be connected to 6 tvs at 1 time??

There is no alternative to the creation abilities of ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet on the PC.

Yes trackmania nations forever for racing, and tonnes of pc games are released with SDKs so you can make an entire game of you wanted to. I could go on epics site now and get the Unreal SDK and make a game or a map or a mod and I wouldn't have to be stuck with 1 game like on ps3.

"Actually, the PS3’s difficulty to develop for makes for overall better games, because developers are forced to learn the hardware before they can even start development."

Thats a completely BS point and you know it.
"There is not a single PC game with boss fights as big as the titans in GOW3"

Have you ever played Serious Sam???

Now for some questions

If a ps3 game ever doesnt work, can you troubleshoot and fix it yourself?? No you have to wait for patches, can't get fan made patches.

Does PS3 have backwards compatability for all games??

I hope you realise what a stupid, uninformed fool you are. You have no idea whats on PC but you think you know everything about it.

[jammydude]

" Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY."
Although most of this is BS that's true, I understand what you're getting at. The fact is no PC game has come close to winning more GOTY than any other game that year for more than 4 years now. Console exclusives are the games that seem to be winning all the praise whereas PC exclusives turn out to be sub-par in comparison (aside from a few gems but even these aren't good enough to win many GOTY awards)
The shame is that the PC is turning into a multiplatform machine moreso than even the 360 if you only want to play the truely best games.

[theonlylolking]

Half life, fallout, elder scrollls, and doom are over rated.

[rjdofu]

LOL... none of those is overrated... they're all great game. However, PC gaming might not suit some gamers taste because its exclusives focus too much on FPS, RTS and RPG (alot of those are Western games), so searching a quality hack and slash title like GOW series or JRPG like FF series on PC is hard. Another reason why PC is not good for hack&slash game is that the mouse and keyboard simply don't suit for that type of game. They work the best with RTS and FPS.

It's safe to say PC wins in term of graphic and is always my system of choice for multiplatform games. However, in term of genre variaty compared to the PS3, not really.

[GeneGodHand]

PC sucks i would never game on a PC i'm on a computer doing papers all the time like i want to play games on a PC gtfo.

[lemonz]

Obvious Troll is Obvious

[Capdastaro]

"Creativity is also much higher on the PlayStation brand, with many more games pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. There is no alternative to the creation abilities of ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet on the PC. This genre has proven successful on consoles, and will remain strong for Sony."

Comeback when PS3 has real toolsets for creating a whole new dimension to play a game... Not just a generic linear levels... Thats where creativity lies.

Also nobody bought ModNation Racers in the first place so how can it be proven successful.

[toaster]

LOL bro you might want to do a little research before you talk smack about something. Sheer size of games? So you're basically ignoring the thousands upon thousands of gigabytes of mods and community created content? I can tell you've never touched PC gaming in your life. iRacing, rFactor, GTR2, these simulations put GT5 to shame when it comes to content. That's what happens when you have an open and moddable platform. The amount of content in Modnation Racer's doesn't come close to Trackmania. LBP isn't even true modding.

Space isn't really an issue, I can get a 500GB drive for $50. Right now I have 2TB of space in my computer with room for 2 more HDDs. What was that you were saying about space?

GOTY, that popularity contest gamers go crazy for. It's all publicity. Game of the year means nothing, but if you want to go there then I can pull out the Half Life 2 card. The only console game to get anywhere NEAR the amount of praise HL2 got is Uncharted 2, and it took devs 6 years to make a game of that magnitude. But I give credit where it's due, Uncharted is a spectacle to behold for consoles. It really proves that those little plastic lunchboxes really can do something when developed properly.

Creativity? I can get 50 games for $50, with all of them having more creativity than any big name console game. Indie games is where the innovation is and guess what, the indie scene is thriving on PC. But I know you wouldn't know that since you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

What I suggest is that you at least finish high school and get a job so you can pay for your own shit instead of feeding off your parent's money. That way you can be a multiplatform owner like I am and enjoy all games. But don't start talking shit about things you know nothing of, just go crawl back to your toolshed.

[jammydude]

"Uncharted 2, it took devs 6 years to make a game of that magnitude"

Uncharted 2 was in development for 2 years.....

"Game of the year means nothing"

erm, right....

"I can pull out the Half Life 2 card"

You could, indeed, if it was still 2004. It's 2010 now, though, and considering that's the last PC (timed exclusive I suppose) to gain such accolades you can definitely see his point. (Oh and plus HL2 didn't win as many GOTY awards as Uncharted 2)

" It really proves that those little plastic lunchboxes really can do something...you at least finish high school and get a job so you can pay for your own shit instead of feeding off your parent's money...talking shit about things you know nothing of, just go crawl back to your toolshed"

u mad tho? calm down, kiddy :)

[toaster]

Guess what sugarcube, I ain't even mad :)

GOTY suddenly became about exclusives? lol Did I miss the memo?

"Uncharted 2 was in development for 2 years"
Your point? I'm comparing two finished products.

[jammydude]

You sound pretty mad tho.
"Your point? I'm comparing two finished products."
>You implied it would take 6 years to create something as great as UC2 on consoles
>It actually only took 2
>Lols commence as point backfires
>everybody do the dinosaur

[pr0digyZA]

"Game of the year means nothing"

erm, right....

Just trying to understand what you mean by that. What does game of the year mean to you?. Do you base your life around what wins even if you've played all 10 of the top games. Would like to know?

Just FYI I own all consoles and PC so I'm not anti you. Just never saw the point of game of the year.

[LunaticBrandon]

Do this with LBP.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... A Terminator FPS made using the First Gears of War.

[theonlylolking]

That looks great! It can be done in LBP but not nearly as good.

[Mundo]

you mean no where near as good.

[1PC2PS33360]

ohhh boy....

where to begin....

uncharted 2 is male tomb raider with very good graphics and very very linear levels, it is a solid 8, the witcher Destroys uncharted in terms of gameplay, hows the white wolf port working out for you>>> ohhh wait...

last i checked a ton of sites gave mass effect 2 goty and umm...

The pc version is BY FAR the best, you know, actually in Hd 1080p and stuff.

lol...and indie games, please, by all means, go spend $15 for fat princess and think you are doing indie game research
there are a lifetime of free mods, total conversion, and free mmo's, flash games, rts, experimental hybrids, you would never have enough time to play them all if you lived to be 100 and gamed 16 hours a day

plus
720p is so old
you cannot even buy a 720p tv at any respectible retailer except in 22" size

time for ps4
let's move on

[pixelsword]

ohhh boy....

where to begin....

The PC can do 1080p, except most of their games don't even need to be in 1080p because the graphics ain't that great.

And I'll tell you what: I'll use the very game you listed to prove my point.

The witcher has this awesome cutscene:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

but gives you this to jack around in:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Really concentrate around the 2:50 mark, I mean really marinate on that Shxxat and try to say "this blows uncharted 2 outta the water!" without laughing. I dares ya.

I even dare you to say that 1080p is needed to support those awesome graphics. Like I say, people act like no one can google this stuff up.

Here's what the witcher reminds me of:

http://g4tv.com/videos/2791...

Kelso: Uh! All right Jackie, I don't think you know what you're saying. Ok,
'cause you called me your Apollo rocket of love.

Jackie: Right. But I said it like, (total sarcasm) Oh, Michael, you're a regular
Apollo rocket of love.

*rolls eyes*

[BrianG]

Thank you, just thank you.

I don't understand why PC gamers act like higher resolutions make games better anyways?

[pr0digyZA]

Lol no one here says witcher blows UC2 graphics away (its using a modified NWN2 engine) So I'm not to sure what that video was for. You obviously hav'nt played the witcher and got absorbed in its world, trust me if you like demon souls you'll like witcher. Except witcher adds in more talking

[KaDa]

Guys are just keep saying the PC has HL2, guess what, PS3 and Xbox 360 too.

A lot of games that are named to be good PC games, are almost all of them Steam games. Steam is comming to PS3. In that case I could say, what does the PC offer more then the PS3, except for upgrading my PC for a 100$/200$ a year for a better graphical card, while my PS3 is running great since the launch 5 years ago.

Someone said there are lots of PC games that can say they have bossfights as big as they are in God of War 3, name them. Not just say the PC has them, just name the games.

Sure PC has Starcraft 2, WoW, counterstrike, all of them classics, but I simply cant name 20 games that are worth it to pimp my PC for or that I cant play on my PS3 (or 360) that are better.

[pr0digyZA]

LOl steam isn't a maker of games it is a platform for developers to sell there games on. You think WhenPS3 gets steam suddenly stalker will work. lol. I havnt upgraded my computer for many years yet i can run all games like metro at max."what does the PC offer more then the PS3" im not gonna reply to that because i think you are pulling my leg:P

Some big bosses would be serious sam, painkiller,supreme commander,everquest these are of the top of my head.

True there are lots of games on consoles that im really enjoying the point is you lose out on many pc games that are worth playing.

[Rush]

Quite possibly the dumbest blog I have ever read on n4g, no offense although it's hard not to be offensive here.

You clearly don't game on PC's and your PS3 because I game on both and honestly anything that's been done on the PS3 was done on the PC 5 years ago.

[DigitalRaptor]

Really? That's strange because I've never seen anything like God of War 3 before on PC.

The PC has higher resolution... that's it. If the graphics suck, higher resolution isn't gonna make it look any nicer, only accentuate the flaws.

However, I don't hate on PC, because there are great games on there that I play often.

[iamgoatman]

Unless a game is a straight console port, there are normally options for higher resolution textures, different amounts of AA and AF, higher res shadows, large draw distances etc. Plus a lot of devs are implementing DX11 effects into multiplats, like Bad Company 2 and AVP, which dramatically increases the overall image quality.

Plus theres always the option for mods that further improve the graphics as well. Look at Oblivion or Fallout, visually they're a completely different game to the console versions, with or without high res texture packs.

[Rush]

@DigitalRaptor

Your comment shows you have absolutely no idea what your talking about.

Sort of like the person who wrote this silly blog.

[NostalgicRobotX]

Seriously? Graphics suck?

6 year PC old games usually look better than any console game. I'll just sit over here with my AA, you can enjoy you jaggy's. Higher Res does not mean it is stretching the original image.

l2research

[Lyr1c]

I am thoroughly convinced that Rush is a troll.

This is the dumbest blog because it contains a differing opinion?

Tell me...When have you seen Uncharted 2, GoW III, Heavy Rain, and LBP2 on the PC?

If you can show me something of the same genre that is at least equivalent in gameplay and scale, I will go out right now, and buy a $5k Desktop.

[el zorro]

Scale? Pfft! The same scale was done on PS2. God of War 2 on PS2 had basically the same huge bosses, but I don't see what is that impressive about it. It's not that much different than rendering any character model. The transitions are the only thing that takes any real effort there and even those aren't that hard.

Uncharted 2 is one of the most linear games I have ever seen. There is nothing at all impressive in terms of scale there. Heavy Rain and LBP2...same thing. Heavy Rain was basically pure quick time events and even then it didn't look that good and had screen tearing to boot.

[NostalgicRobotX]

Uncharted 2: Oh dear me, we have never seen a 3rd person tomb raider before. Oh wait, yes we have.
GoW III: Serious Sam
Heavy Rain: (Insert badly acted movie)
LBP2: Just about any PC sandbox game ever.

I built a $500 desktop, and can run just about every game at 1400x900, with 45+ FPS.

Let me ask you a question. Have you seen...
Gmod
Minecraft
Stalker
Hearts of Iron
Diablo
Starcraft
Age of Empires
Civilization
Titans Quest
Amnesia
Red Orchestra
The Witcher
DEFCOM
Killing Floor
Counterstrike

on PS3?
I could go on forever, but I would just break the mysql server.

At least you can go back and play Battlefront II with 64+ people online.
Oh wait, you can't.

[Matthew94]

"Guys are just keep saying the PC has HL2, guess what, PS3 and Xbox 360 too."

Console versions have much worse graphics and ps3 version has major slowdown. I have it for pc and ps3, the difference is huge

"A lot of games that are named to be good PC games, are almost all of them Steam games. Steam is comming to PS3."

Steam isnt coming to ps3, steamworks is and thats a huge difference, no steam store, just auto updates and cloud support. once again brought in by valve not sony, the poeple who make the damn console

"except for upgrading my PC for a 100$/200$ a year for a better graphical card, while my PS3 is running great since the launch 5 years ago"

thats a myth, you dont need to upgrade your card every year, just goes to show how uninformed you are. I can max out most games with an ATi 5770 which is only £100.

"Half life, fallout, elder scrollls, and doom are over rated."

looks at Uncharted, sees tomb raider
looks at lbp, see mario with a level editor
looks at modnation, looks at trackmania nations

"
Sure PC has Starcraft 2, WoW, counterstrike, all of them classics, but I simply cant name 20 games that are worth it to pimp my PC for or that I cant play on my PS3 (or 360) that are better.
#7"

So games that are better on pc/cant be got on consoles that are good??

hmmm

Crysis
Metro 2033
The Witcher
Civilisation
Total War
Fallout is better looking, playing, more stable, can be modded
X series, great graphics, too complex for consoles though, oh well :)
Kotor 1 and 2
Serious Sam Series
Doom
Sims
Sim City
Deus Ex
Starcraft
Warcraft
WoW
Elder Scrolls
Company of Heroes
Actualy, any rts ever made
System Shock 2
Unreal Tournament
Age of Empires
Half Life
Left 4 Dead
Counter Strike

i know i have forgotten a few, i know, i know

ALso enjoy being stuck in a generation while I can still play a game from the late 90s if I wanted to. Want to play your old ps2 games?? too bad time to blow off the dust and have 2 machines in front of your tv.

[KaDa]

lol,

so you are saying I cannot play UT3, L4D, Sims, Metro, Fallout, Oblivion, HL and Doom on a console. Oke....

Why the heads up for fucking serious sam, Brainless shooting while a Halo Reach has more solitude.

Cool, PC has the edge to play almost every game to date, if you have a monster you can run everything smoother and on 1080p. But all I hear are games which are out for ages, like a half life or counterstrike, fucking sims or other games. Name me a list of games of this generation that are worth it.

Wow, 5/6 years old, half life 2, 6/7 years old, counterstrike, also about that age. Great games, I play WoW too, but all the games you name arent that great if you look at other titles like a God of War 3, Halo, Gran Turismo, Alan Wake, Gears of War, hell fucking Final Fantasy. Its still a rts you play, its still a FPS.

name at least 3 games of this gen that are exclusive to PC, and are top notch games. Do not name Starcraft 2, thats another rts, great game more than that, but its another rts. say the so called diversity.

[Bloodlyte]

By naming older games, they are just proving the point that PC gaming isn't relevant any more, they are bleeding to death and the PC gamers whine about why there aren't any more PC categories in gaming etc, cause nobody cares!!!

P.S. even your beloved PC devs are jumping ship, Crysis, The Sims, Portal 2 ( Gabe went down on his knees for the PS3 ) just to name a few.

[Rush]

@Bloodlyte

More like Sony bent over for Valve to get them back on board for not supporting them at the start of the generation.

[Ducky]

So, I can't name Starcraft... hmm

CivilizationV is just another RTS, that won't do.

STALKER is an FPS, I guess that counts.

Minecraft is a top notch game. Hehehe... get it, "notch"? Oh nevermind.

TeamForttress2 is pretty cool too if you're into hats.

... Well, PC doesn't have many exclusives because there really isn't anyone to bag exclusive deals. Sony and Microsoft go out and sign contracts to get exclusives... no-one does that for PC. So, if a game is exclusive for PC, then that usually means that the console can't handle it or the game wouldn't work too well. Which is why most PC exclusives are RTS games. Otherwise, why not port a game to the console if you can?

I think the issue you guys need to wrap yer head around is that someone who's playing Counterstrike for the past 6 years isn't playing the same game anymore.
If you played CounterStrike two years ago and played it today, it would feel like going from MW2 to BlackOps.

If you played TF2 last year and then booted it up today, it'd be like going from BC2 to the New York Stock Exchange.

The point is, most PC games continuously change, for better or for worse. The PC devs aren't jumping ship, they're expanding business. Valve isn't exactly starving. If it means more people get to enjoy games such as Crysis, Portal (and even Stalker) then I'm all for it as long as it doesn't impact my own gameplay experience.

That, and SeriousSam is an awesome game. "Brainless shooting", pfft. You take that back. >.>

[Bloodlyte]

@Rush, You should go back and check the E3 2010 Sony Press Conference. And would you be so kindly to show me something like God of War 3 or Uncharted 2 that has been done 5 years ago like you claimed? ( good luck with that btw... )

@FatOldMan, I get your point, but with the motion controllers the consoles are pushing out now opens the way to RTS games to the consoles. For example RUSE, ok it dissolves when u put it next to Starcraft 2, but still its a start. And I don't know if expanding is the right word, Crytek also announced a X360 exclusive and Alan Wake didn't come out on the PC while Remedy is a true PC dev.

P.S.@ Matthew94, So you only need a 100 pound video card and the game? Where do i put the disc in? Should I put them in a blender? OOOOOOOHHHHH WAIT!! I need to buy a motherboard, processor and a shitload of other components to play it? lol

[Lyr1c]

Wow kid. You're pretty ignorant to think that Tomb Raider is on the same level as Uncharted, that LBP is just Mario with a level editor, and that ModNation is just another Trackmania Nations.

1st of all, the gameplay for all 6 games are completely different.

Tomb Raider is a platforming/puzzle game.

Uncharted is a platforming/action game.

Mario is pure platformer.

LBP uses tools such as pistons and chains to give the level life.

ModNation has an enormous level editor. An amazing character creator, and awesome Kart Modification.

Trackmania has........Tracks.

The games don't even remotely resemble eachother, and you would know this if you got your thumb our of your ass and played games, instead of worrying about how much your Gaming Rig costs.

Troll harder, or start playing real games.

Either way, you're an elitist pig.

[John Kratos]

Wow looks like a PS3 guy is getting a little bit brazing. I can understand how you could be filled with such huberous seeing as how the PS3 is a great machine and has been beating the 360 pretty handidly in games for the past 2 years and is going to kill the 360 in 2011. Here's the problem that momentem of beating the crap out of the 360 has put this idea in your head that the PS3 is so amazingly awesome it can beat the crap out of the PC now. I got a few simple words for you, Hell no it can't. AS much as I love my Ps3 it cames nowhere close to PC in terms of Power, Freedom, and Versitility. I could go on and list a bunch of reasons why but everyone above pretty much already did.

[poopface1]

They are different markets. And making a blanket statement like that just makes you sound like a loony fanboy.

[Ducky]

Ok, so... in summary, PS3 is better due to:
- It has epic boss fights
- It has more user-created content
- Blu-ray has more space
- It's harder to make games for it
- Has more creative games
- Has exclusive games that actually have a shot at GOTY

I'm not sure who you're trying to convince... it certainly won't convince any PC gamer since most of thoss points are wrong or are down to opinion.

There are reasons for which I believe console gaming is better than PC gaming such as no technical headaches and comfort of the living room. However, this article just shows the author's ignorance of PC gaming instead of listing some valid points in favour of one over the other.

Doesn't matter which you pick, if you subject yourself to only one platform, then you'll miss out on a lot.

[Pandamobile]

Nope.

[Rage_S90]

you can do better then that...

[nskrishna2]

You can't compete with the pc market for mmos....as simple as that...

[Jeebus]

This thread is tingling with struck nerves.

[1PC2PS33360]

First off, most of the pc gamers i know including myself own every console and our pc's are hooked up to the same tv as the consoles are (50" plasma with one pc, 42" lcd with the other. and a 24" 1080p monitor for the hell of it, second monitor for some strategy games is fun once in a while)

what awesome games that are out right now does ps3 have besides;

Killzone 2 (an ok shooter with badass graphics)

Uncharted 2 ( a very good tomb raider type game with awesome graphics)

God of war 3 (super awesome, unfortunately over in 9 hours but sweet)

MGS4 (shitty crappy graphics, very very fun game)

hmmmmm...

other than that... nothing for me, hated heavy rain, glad i rented it, lbp was fun to watch my nephews play, rented it

now look at the pc library, starcraft 2 owns every game made since oblivion

Civ 5 is so tasty i cannot explain it

the witcher owns every console rpg ever made

Stalker series is uncomparable, and there is NOT ONE game on console that even comes close to its genre

MMO's are not available on console, lol unless u count ffxi, i wouldn't or ffxiv

or DC universe, that has the quality of a f2p

you could say there are strategy games on console, but you'd be kidding yourself
i tried bfme 2 - lagfest
supcom looked like it was running on a 12 year old pc
c and c had gimped controls

indie games cost 5x what they should on console

honestly, i love my ps3 for those exclusives i mentioned, other than that it is a bluray player

bring on the ps4

the only ps3 games i'll but this year are uncharted 3 and killzone 3

[Gamerjunki3]

All biased comments aside...I think there are only two reasons why there is a vast market for the consoles.
The first reasons is simplicity, (PC fans will sneer at me for this--and rightly so! Because grasping the knowledge to comprehend PC's is rather simple.)many console gamers just wish to focus on one thing: enjoying the game. They don't wish to spend a flicker of thought on whether the game can run or not. Also I believe, that console gamers don't like the "openness" of the PC. As it makes them feel direction-less. (especially when one would be so accustomed to purchasing from one place: Xbox live or the Playstaion Network.) And with no "official support" who's going to satisfy their queries/ problems? On the contrary, problems on the PC are such a huge turn off for a console gamer, as more than likely he/she wouldn't have a sodding clue what to do if thier game wasn't working intendedly . (I bet you average console gamer couldn't install a MOD.)

Essentially: Console gamers are dependent. PC gamers are independent.

The second reason is the quality of exclusive games...though in my personal view, they aren't technical benchmarks, they are just vastly enjoyable. That's coming from a PC, a PS3, a 360 and Wii gamer. If any PC fan wishes to evaluate my specs, then here you go:

PC specs:
POWER SUPPLY - 550W PSU
MOTHERBOARD - INTEL P55 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD
PROCESSOR - CORE i5-760 - QUAD CORE - OVERCLOCKED - 4Ghz
CPU COOLER - CONTAC 29 CPU COOLER
MEMORY - 4GB DDR3 - 1600Mhz MEMORY
HARD DRIVE - 1TB SATAII
OPTICAL DRIVER - DVD REWRITER
GRAPHICS CARD ONE - GEFORCE GTX 580 - 1.5GB GRAPHICS

Why does this look familiar... you wouldn't perhaps have googled a gaming rig, picked one from an obscure site and tried to pass it off as your own, would you?

Oh you are naive, did it ever occur to you that was the product I purchased? However I bought it when it possessed the Nvidia case. If you are still standing in disbelief I'm willing to prove it to you by taking screen shots...however like I said previously the case is different. Here is the link to the case http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/i...

I didn't read the blog but that title is just crazy. You say it like it's a fact that PS3 games are better than PC games. That's just like your opinion man. If blogs boiled this would probaby get to 1000 degrees.

Just reading through and most of the games mentioned by PC gamers are ALSO on PS3 and XBOX360, the difference between that is its easier to play on PS3 and XBOX360.

Each console has its strengths and weaknesses. PC in my opinion is for games that are heavily based on large worlds and huge online communities. It is its biggest strength. This is where xbox was inspired and how they imitated an online community and built xbox live which is praised by its users. I have never played so I can't comment how good it is but I do believe they did it well. The PC community seems like its not as mainstream as consoles therefor they don't get the spot light as much. But the community is huge and hardcore. I think pc gamers spend way more than what us console gamers. My brother was one and he spent tons of money to play online as well as update his pc every few months. But they seem to be like and underground community. You rarely read about it or see all these advertisements for what's going on. Only the people interested will know. Consoles are more for the quick games. There are some hardcore communities thanks to some well made fps's or sports games. Ps3 and xbox are for different gaming communities. These are just preferences you speak of because pc doesn't cater your choice of gaming and neither would wii or xbox. I also prefer gaming on ps3 because it has my types of games but doesn't mean my preference is better than someone elses.

Reading through the blog, and seeing the comments, it's safe to say that ignorance comes from all sides.

Some of the sh!t you PC gamers are spewing just make you look plain dumb, and to act "Elite" is just completely arrogant.

On the other side, I doubt some of these console fanboys have ever touched a PC game in all of their lives.

A lot of you need to grow up.

Every format has some advantages.

PC has the best graphics if you're look at the very best looking games. Crysis, Metro 2033, Mass Effect 2.
(Although PS3 looks like its going to give them a good run of their money this year.)

PC has the best looking multi platform games. (Most of the time)
For me PS3 has more great looking/playing exclusives.
(I know very subjective, but Uncharted 2 is the best game of all time)

Xbox (usually) has the best looking multi platform games between PS3 and Xbox.
