We truly are in the golden age of gaming. Between PCs, consoles, handheld devices, and smartphones, there are more ways than ever to play.
if you want the latest and greatest triple AAA titles, you really only have two options: consoles or PC. We're fans of consoles around here of course, games like Breath of the Wild, Spider-Man, God of War, and Red Dead Redemption are some of our favorite games, but it should come as no surprise we're pretty big into PCs too. We are Newegg.
When you want the best-all around gaming experiences, we're convinced PC is where it's at.
In this video, we'll go over some of the best reasons to game on PC. And if you're already a PC convert, this video might be just what you need to convince your friends and family to make the switch.
Let's get started with one of the most clear advantages - keyboard and mouse control.
Using a keyboard for gaming can be a challenge at first, especially when compared to a controller…all those buttons!
Once you get used to it though, it becomes clear just how much better it can be, especially for certain genres. For games that require lots of actions per minute like MOBAs, Real Time Strategy games, or MMOs, having access to all those mappable keys at once isn't just more convenient, it's critical to success.
Even more useful for gaming is the mouse. Dual sticks on a controller are fine for most games, but they don't hold a candle to the accuracy or quick movement of a mouse. There's a reason all competitive first person shooters are best played with a keyboard and mouse: because it's the most precise way to play. Especially when it comes to FPSs, a mouse and keyboard combo is unbeatable.
But not everyone cares about precision or high level play, we get that. Some people prefer a controller, because it's what they're used to, and what they grew up using. Sometimes, you just want to plop down on the couch, pick up a controller, and play a few rounds of Overwatch on Xbox without worrying about KD ratios or Grandmaster status.
Totally fair, but here's the thing- you can use a controller on a PC too. Almost any modern controller can be used with a PC, and almost every new game will automatically switch to controller input as soon as it's plugged in. No customization or tweaking necessary.
That was a lot, and we could keep going. The point is, pretty much anything a console can do, a PC can do better, and then some. Once you experience your favorite game in 4K at sixty frames per second, on a high refresh rate display with a gaming mouse and keyboard, there's really no going back.
