PC Gaming vs Console (Xbox 360/PS3) Gaming: Which is Better? *BO2 Nuclear Gameplay*

[@khaled753]

in my situation if i buy a console ill still need to spend more money to buy a pc to do other stuff like browsing the web etc.. so for me i prefer to add the console budget on the pc budget and get a very high spec pc with can do both gaming and pc stuff and will last as long as a console will insted of buying 2 seperate products

[@stimpak666]

You've made a lot of good points during your videos, and I love seeing noobs getting owned and then complaining about hacking lol.

[@ZaidRM1]

Dude!!! you rocked it!!! i have been a PC enthusiast for years but always stuck to console. Definitely making the switch to PC full time. Better, cheaper games on steam, compatibility. Dead on buddy! PC NATION keep strong!!!

[@ZaidRM1]

***** lol appreciate that. Where's the parade? Haha. Jk. Unfortunately I need to keep ps4 for Destiny

[@ZaidRM1]

***** here here! 😉 same on the alpha and the beta on ps4. Amazing! I'm always looking for new fire teammates. Hit me up.

[@ZaidRM1]

PS4. i saw you mentioned ya might be getting one so just throwing it out there. if you do, i'm in.

[@TheBlackernator]

PC master race

[@missffox]

your the first call of duty commentator in a long time that can keep my attention, even the old 'pros' have lost their touch, but you sir are gonna go a long way :)

[@dilloncornett1539]

"Can use any USB controller." FALSE! There's adapters for much more and the possibilities are endless. Also, the upcoming steam controller is great looking.

[@FracturesHD]

Oh, and you earned my sub. I don't see many PC cod commentators and now I've found one. Good job on that, that's what I'm going to start doing :)

[@TheTrueHolyDarkness]

Once upon a time, consoles were kings. That time is over. Its time to jump ship to the PC. Only console that justifies its existence these days is Nintendo. Buy it as a bonus to yourself after your rig is set up.

[@EnhancedCognition]

Except that you can emulate Nintendo games on your PC and make them look and run better then on there own console......

[@NearCry]

That's exactly what I do! I'm a PC guy but I love Nintendo Wii-U (especially the virtual console for classic games)

[@Whodareswins12SAS]

People say that consoles are more expensive than PCs. But, Xbox 360 + 6 controllers for your friends + router for internet + TV + car to transport it + carpeting for the car + gas for car + couch to sit on + pillows

[@arefx]

glorious pc gaming master race!

[@arefx]

Omg that's so clever.

[@hypr1]

Jack Curtis you just complimented your own comment? lol..

[@9no9vanity9]

Gaza Palestine what is this ''lol'' i am hearing ?

[@Yeomancactus6]

Nick although your not the most popular on youtube, you're still my fav youtuber ! XD

[@malefico1970]

You make a number of good points here. Some other benefits to PC gaming are the fact that you can invest in good basic components and have the ability to add virtually unlimited amounts of storage, tons of memory, etc. And you can upgrade the major components like processors, boards, etc. easily if you build your own or buy from a company that uses industry standard components. Also, the game selection on PC is SOOOO much larger than the consoles it's not even the same ballpark.

[@mrgoingbananas06]

really good commentary! keep up the good work :D

[@CaptainCoteri]

nice video, nick!!! I think that PC is sometimes a bit complicated because is quite difficult to play in the computer screen

[@xPostpunk]

woah man pure respect to you. that's a huge change.

[@Macrackle]

I love how some console gamers say their moving to PC, and yet no PC gamer moves to console.

[@hkoizumi3134]

I am a generation behind to youngsters out there. I have always been a PC gamer and I have played multiplayer game while console players mastering their jumps in Mario. I would say the prime days of PC multiplayer was 1997-2002. I remember there were so many PC gamers which were greasy teen just like me lol. Now that we are older, there are very few of us still play and maintain that teen spirit. Console multiplayer will be like this within 10 years also. So enjoy it now while you can.

[@alikaykhaei]

Hey nick, i have a suggestion for you! i think you should make a video about computers. like explaining the componets etc thanks alot man

[@mjtjgilbert123]

What I mean is that there is Steam voice chat, and you can invite people to games, if you wanted a party like Xbox parties, there is Skype, if you are only playing with one person, use the Steam Voice chat. I have played on the Xbox for about 2 years, and the only thing I like better is the framerates, just because I have a craputer.

[@NotToBlame]

Although the commentary in your video is very good and easily understandable. I think I was more focused in people calling you hackers just because you are better at a video game than they are

[@DextahPC]

Yea... That's another thing. No one accuses you of hacking on console. But I personally get it a LOT on PC as well.. I only have a 3.4 KD in BO2 on PC and people are really obsessed with reporting hackers and accusing people and stuff. It's almost as if people assume that if you're good at the game on PC, you're a hacker... LOL

[@NotToBlame]

Dextah It's just the way the gaming community had been formed. If you're good at something then people will just assume that you are using some sort of modification to the game

[@WatchM3Struggle]

i just got a bad ass PC... I NEED GAME RECOMMENDATIONS!! and i liked ur commentary. good stuff

[@CrazedGin]

Also if you know how you can play the console exclusives on your pc you just may have to get the software from the console and install it to your pc and make sure you have a drive that can run the disk.

[@malefico1970]

Sure, as long as the game supports it and you have two separate control devices. Check out Steam's Big Picture feature. Pretty sweet!

[@WaluigiBrother]

NMunro4, I'd like to clarify what you mean with PCs having better graphics than consoles. With the Xbox 360, most games run at 480p or 720p, when on a PC, you can run 1080p, or even 1440p, or even higher. Plus, something you console defenders can't beat, is that you can even play on multiple monitors. Now that's not something you'll be able to do on a console any time soon. To add to that, PCs can do WAY more than just gaming on. You can browse the web, and do a lot of complex video editing.

[@mattvoldness7585]

I have a 240 hz 46 inch, no input lag whatsoever. When I first got it, I thought it was too big, but now that i'm used to it, I love it.

[@Macrackle]

If you already bought a gaming pc then you shouldn't be complaining about the cost since pc games are cheaper and PC's don't really have DRM *cough*xbox one*cough* For games its pretty much up to your choice of which exclusives you like the most, though personally if there is a game and its on console and PC I will always pick the PC version due to better graphics and I can pick the controller I want to use.

[@z1x1c1v1]

Good video nick!

[@jacobtesmond9561]

And the reason why not many people play cod on PC is because cod is the most entertaining multiplayer experience on console (opinion) whereas PC has many more entertainment options as far as games are concerned

[@COWBOYcreeper1]

LOVE YOU NICK!!!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR BREAK!

[@outbacktraveler]

Number 1 reason the age range on pc is older because not many take the time to learn. They don't have to learn they can watch on how to build gaming pc on yt. Infact, I will make videos for beginners in the short coming weeks.

[@skaterrralan]

I'm kinda new to PC gaming, but so far I absolutely love everything about it. Not just because of the quality of the games, and stuff like that. It's the wider variety of games as well. There are way more games for PC not just standard usual games as in CALL OF DUTY, BATTLEFIELD, and so on. Other games that are specialty made for PC, and honestly the only thing you really need of the most important. Is a decent graphics card. I myself use a GTX690, but as he mentioned a GTX660 would work as well

[@eateroftheflame]

Looks like we don't need to worry about next gen, we're competing against an 80s VHS player

[@BrandflakesTM]

Getting used to PC controls doesn't take long. Just find which sensitivity is right for you, as well as which keys you want to use on your keyboard when gaming. Took me about a week to become godlike with a m+kb

[@Winchester7314]

LMAO at the chat on the side... they were like "REPORT THAT GUY!" LOL

[@compwiz00]

If you intend to game heavily, use a laptop as a last resort. They are harder to fix, and they will cost much more than a desktop of the same speed. That said, sometimes there is no way to use a desktop computer, because of movement or space concerns. If you go with a laptop, assume you will have to plug it in when gaming. Most of them won't go more than an hour or two with games running. Gaming laptops also have the drawback of being much hotter and heavier than needed for non-gaming tasks.

[@inspecterty]

You are definitely right in the community aspect, you can open up cod on a console and half of the players are little squeakers and raging kids where as in pc games people are a lot more calm and accepting

[@benjaminpepin2247]

try using hardline it helps so much when u use lethal killstreaks

[@hobatronic]

If i was on the other team i would have thought you were hacking too :P It's so unbelievably rare to get lag comp in your favor like you did that entire match.

[@BalboBagginsYT]

No, I'm just tired of seeing people mention prebuilt PCs. Every new pc gamer i meet always asks about prebuilds and i tell them no. Most of the time they ignore me and look into them anyway. An alienware that could record battlefield at ultra and at respectable fps would run you about $1200 when you could build your own pc and run battlefield for $600. There is your answer. If you want any help on actual build components i will happily send you a link

[@Draycko]

Maybe the resolution is set lower than 1080p? Some people don't understand the differences between resolutions so I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe his currency is different? 500Euro equates to 700$AU. You can build some pretty good rigs for around 400$. I have done so myself. Of course I'm not including OS, monitor, keyboard and mouse but it's doable. My Work Pc (The 400$) Pc can max Metro 1080p however, I keep anti aliazing off or on minimum to increase performance.

[@ottosantiagolassus]

As soon as touch screen technology and wireless controllers become a standard for PC's I'll switch in a blink of an eye, till then Ill keep playing on my 10 inch tablet that plays emulators, many games available for PC, games from playstation mobile, and last but not least Google play. And yes, I was a console player in my teens and early 20's. After 35, started to get interested in pc gaming, but it has limitations I mentioned, standard touch screen tech, and universal controller.

[@mspec810]

what about game prices on the pc vs console. People love to say PC gaming is sooo expensive when in the long run, paying for games on the console adds up to a more significant amount of money as to the Games on PC. I just bought Battlefield 4 the other day for 19.99. #pcmasterrace

[@maskedchimpanzee]

I think you've forgotten about our wide range of indie games to choose from as well as most large name games.

[@compwiz00]

Desktop computers take up space, some people can't easily fit two of them, and it is expensive to build two whole machines. You should have no issue using the same machine for both. If you want to separate activities, perhaps you should just make two user accounts, one for gaming, one for work. Also, make sure you get a 7200rpm HDD for the games, if you get the cheaper 5400 ones, the loading times might be painful. Also, don't use external HDD unless it's eSATA or USB3, for the same reason.

[@GH057ayama]

You forgot to mention that you can always upgrade your pc down the line while you can't with console. Which is pretty important considering it might be cheaper in the long run compared to console.

[@robertpadua4252]

This is a great video!

[@spoonproductions793]

thanks to your opinion i will be getting a pc

[@TheCaptainMI]

I have been PC gaming since I was 12 (4 years ago) and I have found that you can't be too good at COD, because people claim your a hacker. Once one person claims your a hacker the whole lobby thinks you are. That is a different story for BF3 and other games.

[@KyleInto]

That is because most cod players used to play on or currently play on consoles, and they have never seen any skill-demanding game like Counter Strike being played, and they also have aim assist.

[@CommissarKozlov]

Do not ever play CoD on the PC. The community for CoD is already bad enough but on the PC it is FILLED with hackers. This is because TA/IW don't care about their games once they finish the last of their DLC. They leave their games to be taken over by hackers and there is nothing you can do about it.

[@TheCaptainMI]

CommissarKozlov very true the call of duty community is just a disgrace and honestly is one of the worst if not the worst communities in gaming history.

[@CommissarKozlov]

TheCaptainMI I'd have to admit -- League of Legends and DOTA are probably worse community-wise. But Call of Duty is certainly up there with them.

[@TheCaptainMI]

CommissarKozlov Aha yes I forgot about LoL and DOTA

[@ccaian1]

Agreed. Once again, I own both consoles, a 2k gaming PC with a 7970 and an xbox. I play games like minecraft, GTA skyrim on the PC because of the large modding community and the better immersive feel for sims like arma and rfactor. However most of my gaming takes place on the consoles because of the community and gamerscore. (The steam levels are useless.)

[@mdagamer100]

Maturity has almost nothing to do with what you know, but it is more akin to how you use what you know, and what you do when you have a problem. Calling someone 'not mature' just because you think you are more mature than them is almost proving that you are not mature.

[@compwiz00]

Consoles do have the advantage that every game developer only has to target a single platform. Which is great, because they can optimize their game for it, they don't need to worry about what will happen if it's run on any of the possible combinations of the thousands of different computer parts out there...

[@DiegoFlores-by8qn]

both have their advantages and disadvantages but in the end u should buy what you like the most and just have fun with it

[@codzombieownerz]

yes he is, take a look at the field of view or FOV, it is more widened. Now compare it to a xbox or PS3. You will see that is the main way to see people who play Call of Duty on PC, as you can only get this option on PC.

[@BeardofBeesPool]

I understand mods and everything else that come with PC. there are some games I can only play only on pc and some I can only play on consoles. I owned both for a very long time

[@SaintVigil]

Majority of PC players aren't a fan of the call of duty series. That's why it has less players. The game is alright, for a time.

[@NMunro4]

Yes you cannot turn it off in most games.

[@aaroncoronado12]

I have a consle for gaming at home and a Laptop (pc) used for when i go on trips or if i'm using my laptop for a research paper and need a quick break

[@Macrackle]

I know but it was really funny at first xD.

[@skoanton]

Are u using the blue snowball in this video or have u upgrade to another mic?

[@wolvesthewarrior]

I use both now the problem for me is I do a lot of photography so I tend to use my console more to save on hard drive space. That and I some times uninstall games from my computer so the ones that have the drm are hard to keep track of. Their are also games that I play that are strictly console exclusives like sly cooper and dragons crown. to me they have both advantages and disadvantages for each.

[@ddaniel987x]

DRM is that you have to be connected to the internet every time that you want to play a game, even on singleplayer.

[@Mojosnghu]

Well, welcome to the superior life my friend.

[@codycrislip6976]

I've recently got a GTX 650 Ti given to me for my computer. My computer has a dual core with 4 gigs of ram. Its custom built. I actually prefer playing on PC more than playing on a console. I owned a console because it was the cheapest because I could never afford to build a gaming PC. Something that is really going to show the true colors of PC gaming is SteamOS. Its pretty much gives you the power to build your own console, and it'll really show what Linux can do. Once gaming for Linux takes off I'm getting rid of Windows and migrating over. I got a little bit of a wait though. Overall PC gaming has more +1's than consoles in my opinion.

[@ehcivicracer]

A PC is multiple consoles in one plus play current games. Backwards compatibility is no problem on PC cause you can play games as old as from 2000. If you build a PC now you wont have to upgrade for 10years if you buy descent hardware. You can always turn down the settings in a game to get better FPS. I have an old 2003 computer that uses AGP video cards that can play COD WAW at about 50FPS. Its single core with a amd hd3850. It can play most new games at 30FPS.

[@FracturesHD]

I was 100 percent xbox but I decided when my CoD broke it was time to go to my gaming PC completely and got myself a gtx 670, and I'm liking it. Still suck with the mouse a little but I'm learning and my xbox skill is showing a little

[@TeamXDDDDD]

1. Ok, fair reason 2. I can get whatever console exclusive I want on a PC. I have the whole Uncharted series for PC. However, you can't have an console exclusive on another console which does not have it. 3. I can't argue with you on that subject since I'm not familiar with DRM. Could you send me a link to where I can learn more?

[@pedrodibella3861]

Next year I'm going to Canada, and as things are really expensive in my country, what good stores do you recommend?

[@compwiz00]

I imagine it would be hard to play at first if you are not used to it. Personally though, I have absolutely no idea how anyone can play FPS games with a console. With a bit of practice, you will wonder how you managed with console controls. If you want to see what it's like, grab a copy of Unreal Tournament 2004 for PC. It'll run on just about any machine made since 2003. It's very fast paced compared to other shooters, but it'll give you an idea of what keyboard and mouse controls can be like.

[@magnefficientfragz477]

oh so you stared around the same time i started

[@mjairam90]

It's because different communities prefer different games. When PC gamers say they abhor COD, its true. Hardly anyone on PC plays it, if you look at the daily steam count. But it isn't due to lower sales regardless. It's because all PC games are basically digital now. They have less restrictions than physical copies and can be sold for less to still make profit.

[@varsityeagle89]

did you start from scratch or already had a pc and upgraded? wanna play bf4 on a pc real bad! just don't wanna spend alot on a gaming rig.

[@TinXery]

i like that the only games you mentioned was from the call of duty franchise...

[@kinggamer1235]

lol all the people in the chat thought he hacked

[@jordanmartinez8788]

I have a $500 PC with double the visuals of the next-gen consoles. I got a $130 1080p monitor with it and I have a few old keyboards and mouses lying around. PC gaming isn't as expensive as you say it is.

[@BeardofBeesPool]

good thing I got both... Some textures still suck on max settings even on a PC with certain games. I really don't see what the big deal is... Is GTA V out on PC yet?

[@ProjectToasterOven]

You can connect a controller to a PC and play almost all of the popular games with that controller. Just look for the controller enabled on steam. :)

[@ddaniel987x]

DC universe online is a online multiplayer game. For example: Assasins creed 2 for PC has DRM, most of steam games has DRM

[@NMunro4]

They do.

[@LawlessNate]

I actually hear some pretty good things about the Wii U.

[@TheThoughtAssassin]

If you have a powerful enough PC, along with another monitor and such, you can have another person play on the same rig.

[@TheDrGreenthumb93]

I play both, the thing that mainly gets me to console atm is my internetconnection combined with the small amount of players. But for me mouse and keyboard are superior.

[@Draycko]

I ran out of characters. Just to clarify I did get some pretty awesome one of deals, and not everything was brand spanking new.. but still..

[@compwiz00]

Well, I built machine for about $500, and was able to play even games on it with console-equivalent graphics for four years after a bought it. Would have been longer, but apparently motherboards don't like it when you spill molten solder on them..

[@Danty033]

"hacker", report him" , "76-5 phatetic" - I LOL'd so bad

[@Lufienthedarklord]

Personally while I like the advantages of PC, I at like in consoles how you don't have to upgrade every year, not have to worry about the CPU drives to RAM, not have to wait for the game to install, being able to play splitscreen on consoles so both you and a friend don't all kneed to have a copy each, or have to do a long connection process. I want to do PC gaming, but I don't have 600_1000 $.

[@huythanhle7222]

I agree, but to play AAA titles you may need good PC hardware, and it's quite annoying when it comes to graphic cards as they become more and more powerful with different prices, My opinion :)

[@MrCageCat]

Have been thinking of switching to PS3 to PC, mostly because apart from gaming I'd like a good media player as well. I really like fighting and platform games though.

[@ThisToxicX]

switch to pc its a better choice

[@JONGGG]

I only play on consoles cause thats what everyone on. Dont know too much people who actually play straight up PC over console. I just feel more comfortable with it too. I always liked Controllers over Mouse and Keyboard. Consoles are just less complicated and the place to go to if you just wanna talk to your friends while killing time. But thats just my thoughts.

[@GreenOptima]

You can use Controllers on PC. You are right consoles are less complicated so they are perfect for people that are too lazy to figure out the best system. I guess you don't like the freedom PC gives you? So many choices.. You can literally tweak everything on PC. Why would you consider that a bad thing? "Everyone plays consoles" see now you're just being a sheep, doing what others do without question. Please think for yourself bro, you won't regret it. Besides, you will find out how most people are complete idiots anyway. Take it easy.

[@dontaskme213]

Green ∞ Optima ∞ What's wrong with being lazy? Why should playing a game have to be a goddamn nightmare? What if you don't care about "literally tweaking everything"? What freedom is on the PC? Nearly every game I want to play isn't released on the PC. PC gaming is a great way to not be able to play anything. Piracy fixes a good amount of that. I guess you'd consider piracy preferable to sticking the Ocarina of Time cartridge in the N64.

[@ThePlayallnight]

Exactly the same with me!!! Plus since the next gen consoles are coming out I can spend about the same amount of money on a PC as I can on the Xbox one being $500

[@tomarbraun]

Thanks for the video, i totally agree with you. There are only 2 things that i disagree with: you mentioned ps network and xbox live, yes i know it costs money but i have way more trouble playing online on pc then on any of these systems but thats my opinion. The other thing i want to point out is that lots of people say that its more natural for FPS games to play with keyboard and mouse and i do not agree on that. I think you can play the best on what youre used too, ive been a console player all my life and i recently made the change to PC and i just find it more easy to play with a controller so i dont think a keyboard and mouse is nore batural. Thanks for the video!

[@fireballben6273]

Many people say pcs aren't meant to play games on. What about gaming pcs then?

[@smgmaster3763]

Love it how people think you're hacking for doing good.

[@Sybrew]

Little do you know is that ALL games on the Xbox and PS have been made on a PC with mouse and keyboard. And most of those games have also been released on PC. Plus there's a shitton more available on pc (flash games anyone?). Oh, and RTS's like CIV IV

[@GamingTales]

same here im thinking of getting a gtx 660 or gtx 670 graphics card and probably a amd 8350 processor (4.2 ghz 8 core) it should be in the 700$ price range and can run crysis 3 on ultra!

[@benefactionhindrance]

The reason for consoles is for gaming dedication. PC will always out perform but you have to manage the OS.

[@taonaww7969]

and more/better controls, more games, more genres, the ability to upgrade, keep our games working on 1 machine every gen, cheaper games, better community for the most part, higher framrates, emulators, free online, huge indie scene, Oculus Rift and EPOC... and well... loads more.

[@diegofgc99]

So, you think its a good investment right. I don't know how to build shit so I am gonna order the Vanquish for Digital Storm and I am gonna do the upgrades. Sounds good?

[@dilshanjayawardhana1352]

Dude, from which of these two, we get most natural experience of shooting? mouse or the console, i need your genuine answer.

[@maskedchimpanzee]

It didn't take me long at all to get used to the pc controls and I like them much better.

[@xXBritailianXx]

Hey Nick you uploaded this on my bday but i have played on all different consoles but PC better than most of them.

[@soggypotato5332]

You know you can do a lot more on a computer than a console, games are made on a computer. If your talking about a pre-made computer than that's probably not as fast as a console but doesn't mean the console is better. That's why you don't get a pre-made computer especially if your going to use it for gaming. Most companies will pre build a computer with not very good parts but sell it for a lot of money, that's how they make a profit.
