To always be one of the PC master race or to mix with the console peasants?

play on whatever you like and can, exclusives are a good reason to play on consoles, the main reason why i play on PC is because i cant play action or shooter games with a controller.

Buying a console to play only a couple games is a thing I would never do. Because a console costs more than my pc, games cost much more than pc games, and you can basically only play games and watch movies with it.
Maybe you can borrow it from one of your friends who has it?

I got a GC didn't play that much. I got a PS2... didn't play it much. Got a PS3... yea you see where this is going.

Never again.

PC ONLY

I will say get PS3, cos MGS4 worth playing it and it was also best game that came out on PS3 along with other games too. Beside PS3 is cheap now so i don't think that should be problem cos you can find cheaper used one on ebay or in pawn shops.

I still play my PS3 and PS4 from time to time.

If you want to play MGS4 and the game + a PS3 won't set you back more than you're willing then why not?

Thanks for the factory :)

There's a difference between a console peasant and a console gamer. Regular console gamers just play console games. Console peasants are ignorant idiots who don't understand technology at all but also can't keep their mouths shut. These idiots can't differentiate between RAM and storage, and are unable to admit that their hardware is inferior to a gaming PC.

If you are interested in the PS3 exclusives, then yes it is definitely worth looking into. You'll find the console fairly cheap if you buy second hand. My local classifieds usually has them for less than $100-$150 CAD (roughly $80-$130 USD) bundled with a few crap to decent games. I bought a PS3 new around 5 years ago, but wasn't very interested in it because my heart lies with Nintendo. Even at the $300 CAD price I paid for it, I do not regret my purchase even though I haven't spent more than 100 hours on it.

I recently jumped and I'm quite happy.

I'd play in any platform as long as I had money.

Go for the exclusives. If I would be in such a financial state I would upgrade my PC to play recent games as well, but I would get a PS4 for the exclusives as well. As InuKaT said, not the choice makes you a peasant, but ignorance and stupidity. Buy / build the gaming system you can afford, you will use (Old meme, but don't get top-tier gaming PC for playing vanilla Minecraft) and you enjoy. Variety for the win!

I've never really had much of an interest in consoles, not because I'm some sort of PC master race kind of guy, but just that I was never really much into any of their exclusives. However, in my humble opinion, this E3 made a very strong case for the PS4 and I'm considering eventually getting one for the first time in my life.
I'm godawful at playing with a controller, though, so I'd have to practice a lot I suppose ^^

Haven't you heard? Consoles have started superior species breeding programs!

Early MGS games have really clunky controls, which (for me at least) is where the difficulty comes from.. I'd suggest trying out MGS1 and MGS3 before committing to a PS3 (not the whole game, but enough to give you an idea of what you're getting into), as by 3 the controls are actually usable. If you like it, get a PS3 and play 4. It's a mechanical improvement over the first 3 games in every way.

There's plenty of other exclusives to make it worth it if you do decide to pick up a PS3. Some of them are unique, some of them are just examples of the best of a genre, some of them aren't in English, but there's a good selection that has aged well.

When a console is better than a PC i'll maybe buy another one. The last console I had (still have) was the original Playstation. Might as well spend the money wasted on a console on making ya PC better and future proof rather than buying a console for a few games. Trust me if you can't get them, you won't miss em. :D

Only get a PS3 if you really want to play a large library on it. Also, I hope you are good with a controller, because aiming is nowhere near as with a mouse…

Sadly you cannot just buy a PS4 and play PS3 games on it, because Sony, in their infinite fucking stupiditywisdom decided to make backward compatibility a paying service. And these dumbasses somehow managed to outsell Xbox One. (Which, then again, is not that great in the first place… plus had its own fuck-ups.)

If you only wanted Bayonetta, I would have said to just get a WiiU.

Without people actually buying games (!) on console, even without 95% off there wouldn't be many AAA titles just Indie games.
Also aren't video gamers frowned upon enough by the rest of society that we have to devide among ourselfs ?

Oh, soon I'm getting a GEAMS Vanguard or a Sentry and a PS4, because I'm sick of my PC not being up to PC master race standards. It seems that only the rich can afford PC gaming and Windows 10 only seems to NOT crash/freeze games if the computer is expensive. ($2000-$3000 from what I've seen). Seriously... the lower-middle class can not afford playing AAA games on computer. And those PC master race jerks are always on forums with their snide comments to people with crashing/freezeing issues. Yuck. All I want to do is play my games and not have to worry.

well, I have all PS till the third, because there are some games I just like to play with a console like beat 'em ups and racing games which I enjoy playing on local co-op/pvp. But I can only enjoy shooter on pc.
I think you just should do what you think is right for your taste :)

My main complain of the PS3 which most people don't talk about is the HUGE updates; you want to play a game you just bought you need to have this XGB patch which while it is patching you can't use the console for anything.

The PC master race thing is only about recognizing the superiority of PC as a gaming platform, not playing only on PC.
That said, consoles aren't bad per say, it's just that greedy companies want you to pay more for the console versions of their games, and they very rarely go on sale, and even then, the prices are still too high, especially for new AAA games.
When we talk about older consoles, however, things start to get interesting: pre-owned console themselves are very cheap (compared to when they first came out), and games can usually be found at low prices in bargain bins.
In the end, it's your choice, and yours only, what systems you want to use to play.

Basically what Silly said. This whole concept of 'PC Master Race' started as a joke in a ZP episode that poked fun at those who think like that :P. Good vidya exist both on pc and on consoles and to purposely avoid playing certain games because they happen to be on console is foolish. That being said, the PS3 has one of the best libraries out there so if you do get one, you will open yourself to loads of wonderful games that you wouldn't be able to play otherwise.

Ps3 has great exclusives, get one and play them :)

Do whatever you think is the right thing to do.

Personally, I'm not going to get a console just because of some exclusive games. That's just not worth it to me, no matter how bad I want those games.
