For people wanting a gaming PC and are new to gaming on PC. Let me give you a little bit of friendly advice. Go ahead and punch yourself right in the face. There are so many variables with the PC that when you have a problem there is no freaking way you can figure out what's going on unless you're a computer genius. With consoles you get the same software & hardware on every platform which makes them pretty much work all the time (except when I die which happens often at least in my personal experience). Unless you have patience ,which I clearly don't, don't even bother getting a PC for gaming on. Just stick to the console. Sorry for the rant but I have an expensive headache at the moment.

How about just using Google........................ and if you hate PC gaming so much get rid of it. It is not that confusing, its quite simple you just don't have and patients for things pretty much what so ever. |

First of all we have about the same ammount of patience. And two I've checked. It worked last night and this morning nothing and I changed nothing. Spent a couple hours this morning trying everything, still nothing. I know it's simple, once you figure out what it is. I'm just super aggravated and I think you of all people would understand that.

Yes i do, but i don't freak and say PC gaming is shit and console is best just cause a game just stopped working for some reason. Your PC has changed something, you did a update to the system or you arnt doing something right. That's why i said use Google, don't like Google, using Bing, Yahoo, what ever you like. But a game just doesn't stop working for no reason. Something has changed and there's a answer somewhere out there. If its giving an error code, type that in, if its not search what its doing. Make sure you right click and run as admin every time. But console gaming is not better then PC, not even in the same league. |

If you don't like something you immediately call it shit! It was simple, once I figured it out. I stopped steam and origin from running. Now it runs. Which is weird because I restarted the computer twice plus many other things trying to get it to work. There's just a lot of variables to go through and half of them I don't even know they exist. The fix was even my own guess. Holy sheep stuff that was aggravating. If you learn anything from my rant it's this. You will have aggravating days owning a PC compared to a console. There's a lot more than just resetting and loading the game back up. Sorry again for the rant but I was about flustered.

They are both equally aggravating, on one hand PC's are more complicated to use on some circumstances. On the other hand Consoles don't have near as many features as PC, arn't as flexible with what you can do with them. PC gaming holds more people in the games, much better game play graphic's, servers and there arn't as many asshole's playing those games as there is on Console. Yes console hardware never changes until a new console comes out. But they arnt as reliable as PC's they break way more often, can't play with as many people, and there is always some little douch bag cheating, glitching or just being a cock bag for nothing. I'll take PC gaming over Console any day.

I totally agree with you. I feel like I'm seeing HD gaming for the first time. And mouse and keyboard is awesome (aggravating it first). I wasn't saying consoles are better because they all use the same hardware and software. There's just less of variables to go through with the console when stuff goes wrong. It's just a learning curve with scattered instructions spread all over the Internet. I'll get it eventually;)

Yes i can see that. You mite of gone through the same sort of things to when first console gaming, or when you bought a new console as well.

You pretty much summed it up too. It does require a hell lot more patience, but once you have everything configured to your best performance and your preference there's nothing like it. By the way are you using mouse and keyboard for whatever game you're playing, or DS3 & Logitech wheels/controllers? Just curious... |

It' s definitly taking getting use to though. I ended up carving indentations into w,a,s, & d because I kept losing them. It helped. |

Carving indentations? That's the first time hearing that idea. When I find myself loosing my finger placement, I revert to DS3 and increase the sensitivity on the analog to try and make up for the loss of speed. (Because the mouse and pointer will always be faster than stick.) Yours sounds like an good alternative to buying a gaming keyboard or swapping keys.
