Okay, we can agree this is personal preference.

Quote:What if I told you, people who play on console don't necessarily care about that. Besides, I think this whole 'consoles are a waste of money' argument to be complete bollocks. To get the best top of the line PC you have to pay a lot more than for a console

To get the best PC yes it would be thousands of dollars. But what if I told you a cheap build for about $500 can outperform every console on the market?

Quote:"Oh but we get mods" I hear you cry. Sure there's some good benefits to that, but mainly, from my experience, mods are a lot more hassle than they're worth

Mods are quite easy to install.. especially games running with steam. There are whole games based on mods TF2 and Left4dead2 are good examples of this.

Quote:Why have 3 screens when you can have 1 big one? I just don't get it.

The difference is FOV (Field of View) and overall quality.

5760x1080 > 1920x1080

Here are some examples

Quote:In your opinion. I think the complete opposite is true, I can't for the life of me understand why people enjoy playing with a keyboard and mouse. A controller was designed for gaming, the same cannot be said for K and M.

A mouse is by far more precise in every way. There's just no way around this really. A controller has two speeds... slow and fast. A mouse translates the speed of the movement of your hand into the game.

Are you also aware that most FPS on console have a slight aim assist added into the game... if you're close enough to your target then the game will aim for you. Why implement such a feature if controllers are as accurate as mouses?
