All I know is that by the end of this year I'm going to be playing with either a Titan or dual 780s.
Single 780 would do, it's barely any slower than a Titan.

pc's just aren't for me. i've spent a lot of time on friends high end towers with digital cooling displays and lazer light show going on through a clear wall on the side, pumping out the top games at super framerates,
but even then i just feel cold. hunching over a desk. i know the benefits of pc gaming but console gaming to me is just better feeling.
maybe i'll get into the pc game if consoles in the future fade away, but who knows.
So plug it into your tv. Consoles are really just smaller weaker PCs with exclusive first party titles and UIs that are geared toward controller navigation. It's all the same HDMI out.
console OS has a different feel to than a desktop OS. i just can't be swayed.

Yeah like it won't lead to
'I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY NEXT GEN CONSOLES ARE COMING OUT. I HAVE A PC~~~~'
Hell yea.

Still doesn't completely free you from archaic, non living room compatible input methods like a keyboard.Three words: Big. Picture. Mode.

Is it bad that I don't know any of these games?

Yeah I wish Big Picture mode wouldn't force me to navigate it with the arrow keys.
Yeah.
Torment: Tides of Numenera - Spiritual successor to Planescape Torment.
Project Eternity - Baldur's gate style CRPG developed by Obsidian.
Wasteland 2 - Successor to the game that inspired Fallout.
Broken age - Double Fine developed adventure game.
Routine - Amazing looking sci-fi horror first person adventure.
You can control it with a controller.
Just have Windows start Steam at launch and set it to launch directly in BPM and all should be good.

It depends on your budget and what types of games you enjoy. If you're expecting 3D platforming games on the PC, as an example, you'll have trouble finding many to play besides the occasional indie title (like a Hat in Time).
If you jRPGs you might find the occasional niche one or classic hitting the PC, but for the most part you'll have to resort to emulators for your jRPG needs.
If you like rhythm games, you'll have slim pickings on the PC.
If you like fighting games your mileage will vary rather randomly, but you will miss out on some excellent titles by not having a console.
If you like arcade racers, other than Need for Speed or some classic games you won't find many there.
If you're looking for something like Journey, Ico or Shadow of the Colossus, you won't find many of those on the PC. Those types of games only exist and with the quality they have because a publisher invested in them.
If you like weird quirky japanese games you'll have a hard time finding any for the PC.
However if you like F2P games, MOBAs (like League of Legends or Dota 2), MMORPGs, and most of your game library consists of third-party publisher titles (like Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, etc.) you will have a great time with a PC. But I think the ideal choice is to pick a console which has the most exclusives you like and pair it with a PC to get the best of both worlds.
I think a PS4/Xbox1 and a PC or a Wii U and a PC (depending on what types of games you appreciate the most) are solid choices.

Thank you, that's all I wanted to stress here before. Doesn't matter if SOME games on PC are playable with a controller (without MP of course, you'd get destroyed) or that you can hook it up to your big screen TV. Unless every single piece of software and the operating system feature on a PC is accessible via a controller, and controller only, it simply will never be as practical as a console.Lots of games aren't very viable with a controller.
I think a lot of PC gamers need to accept that comfy couch gaming on a PC is simply *not* practical for a lot of people and just move on.

This is an absolute dealbreaker for me and many people. If you're not bothered by it though, a PC is most likely a better choice. I personally cannot stand a game that prompts me to press "E" or "Space" to open a door or pick up a weapon. Completely breaks the immersion for me, feel like I'm using a computer at work rather than playing a game. A keyboard has no business in gaming for me and should not be relied upon.
But then again, that's me.
I don't see how whether the buttom prompt saying 'A', 'E', 'Space' or 'X' or whatever really makes any difference. If you hate keyboards, fine, but that's a weird criticism to make in particular. Button prompts are hardly some PC-specific mechanism.
I was mainly speaking of the practical problems of wiring a computer to the living room, of using a controller for competitive shooters, RTS games and lots of other games without good controller support, and of space.
Damn. How far away are you sitting?I play some of the m/k specific games with just my mouse on the arm of my recline on a mouse pad. works great.
The key issue here is the set up of getting USB wires from your PC to the chair.
I went the USB extension rout which was expensive because the only ones I could findin store were $35 a piece for 12ft and I needed 4 of them. I just strapped them all together neatly. it's worked great.

PC is always a better choice.

There are still some advantages to dedicated consoles, but at this point they are very minor when compared to say, twenty years ago, and even those little points of contention are slowly going away.
I am fully going to attempt to be PC and Wii U this generation.
I would really like to never support Sony or Microsoft with money ever again (for video games, at least).

Not now. A PC will be worth buying in a year or two when new GPUs come out that blow next gen consoles out of the water.
If you want to spend three times the money, sure.
PC's will always be ahead of the game, but you need to spend the time and money for it to be worth your while. I can't be arsed with the messing around, tweaking and updating, fuck that!
Plug and play all the way.
You're quite right on the other fronts but this particular line is nonsense. The PC has far greater number of experimental and artistic titles than comparable console counterparts.
Especially when you have driver issues and configuring every game to the settings that work best for you. I especially love when I find out that my game plays differently than someone else because the video card I chose isn't the one that it was optimized for.
Just because something is technically superior doesn't always make it a better overall experience.

Was this post made in 2009? Because cards that blow the next0gen consoles out of the water have been out since 2010-2011.
On paper they do but people always under estimate consoles with their tight and well thought out architectures which often work much better in unison than putting a PC together with 5 difference parts. That's why we're seeing games that look as good as Killzone and Infamous and this is just the beginning.
