There has always been a clear divide between console gamers and computer gamers. In my experience, it stems from what you were exposed to growing up along with what was available to you. Most people subscribe to one over the other.
I have had experiences with both forms of gaming and fall into the in between category of liking both. I grew up playing games on a console because that is all there was. It wasn’t until my interest in computers evolved into what it is today that I began to appreciate computer gaming.
Some people like to console game for the simple reason that they get to use a controller over a mouse and keyboard. Hardcore computer gamers insist on using a mouse and keyboard but the truth is that controllers can be used in computer gaming as well. Since the computers are very expensive to run these games, not that many people are willing to drop the money to build or buy one.
I like computer gaming a little more because you can have a very powerful computer make some games look even better than they do on the console. I grew up on console gaming so I like to play that as well. Its more nostalgic for me than anything. Since controllers can be used on computer gaming as well, I see it appealing to more progressive console gamers.
Do you prefer computer gaming over console gaming or the other way around? Why do you feel that way? Would you be open to trying the other kind of gaming?
