A Comparison Of Console Gaming Vs. PC Gaming

There is a certain contentment I feel that comes from sitting down and playing my favorite game. There is an element of relaxation in being able to lose myself within my game for hours at a time. These are feelings that I cannot describe any other way than someone who comes home and is able to watch TV for hours because it is what they love to do. Gaming allows me to relax in a way that TV or reading cannot fulfill. Console gaming and PC gaming fulfill one basic purpose, but the way that they fulfill that purpose leads to two very different experiences.

To start off with, the console has many faults that detract from the experience of the games. Just imagine arriving home, getting yourself in your most comfortable pajamas, and sitting down

The game is started and, 5 minutes later, the game crashes. Frustrating, right? I experienced this process every day for a week before I went to Google for answers. I discovered that the game I spend sixty dollars, had some incompatibility with my console, the PS4, causing the game to crash. I had been so excited to play the game after buying it due to how long I had been waiting for it to be released for so long. This was the start of many disappointments I have with console gaming. Another downfall of the consoles is the lack of customization present. Unlike the PC, a PS4 cannot be built from the ground up and the biggest change that can be made to the hardware is the storage space. The consoles are pre-built and sold the way they are. But there is more to customization than the hardware of the system. Customization also involves the software, an area the console is sorely lacking. Software changes are only made through authorized releases through the company, such as an

Playing games on the PC for the first time is like discovering an amazing artist that you have never heard of before. Now, PC gaming is not perfect and there are crashes. However, it is very easy to fix those crashes. I remember when I bought Fallout 3 and it continually crashed after about 15 minutes of playing it. Once I lost my patience and looked up why it kept crashing, it was very simple to fix. The only thing I had to do to fix the problem was change the resolution on my game to one that suited my laptop screen. The game has not crashed since then. The next thing that proves the superiority of the PC is the customization that is present. I can build a PC from the ground up, if I want to. Building a PC is easy, since all I need to do is buy parts and assemble the computer. Building a computer means that I could choose the exact parts I want to improve performance. Another way to customize PC gaming is the ability to mod, or modify games in some way. Mods can make a game easier or harder, or just change one thing within the game. The last thing about PC gaming is the prices of the games. The prices of the games are about the same as the consoles, however, there are more sales online than in stores and there is no scarcity with digital games. There are also no microtransactions in PC gaming. Consoles will charge for additional online features for their special memberships. Those extra charges are not
