Krookie Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Oh wow, you must save a whole 20 seconds not putting that disc in the drive! Besides, you don't have Dead Rising, the greatest game of all time.
chris the jedi killer Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I don't even need to put in the disc for most of my games on my PC. And I've got tons better games than Crapdown. tons of crapier games than crackdown A coward dies a thousand deaths but a soulja dies one~ 2Pac
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 the only good thing about pc is using internet not playing games downloading while on 360 you just put the disk and your ready to kick some ass on crackdown! What about better graphics? What about better controls and games? "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 controls suck on pc besides why spend 50 minutes waiting to play those so called better games when you can just pop in the disk and get set on a 360 First, I installed Oblivion in under three minuets so you either have a really old, or crappy, PC or have no idea of how long it takes to install something. Secondly, the a mouse and keyboard will always out preform a controller. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 not better than a good old 360 controller Ummm, yes a mouse and keyboard have a better turn speed and response time than a 360 controller...

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 butto move you have to press the up button a hundred times while on 360 you just push the thumbstck up Fool, you simply hold the button down; just like you hold a controller's "thumb-stick" down...

chris the jedi killer Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 well when you turn the camera A coward dies a thousand deaths but a soulja dies one~ 2Pac
Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 well when you turn the camera You, mostly, use the mouse; something that is easy and has a faster turning speed than your 360 controller.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 better games no pop ups play with friends won't break as much can play on a big screen loud sound We have already addressed the game issue, and I am not sure how "pop-ups" affect you gaming experience -you don't get them while you're in a game-. You can play with friends, sometimes more than sixty at a time, on a PC, and you can connect your PC to a surround sound and/or TV. Personally I have a 5.1 stereo system on my PC, and I have a HDTV available if I want a bigger screen. Furthermore, you can mod games on the PC, something that is illegal in the 360. "Geez.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 360!360! What a compelling argument! How did you ever come up with that incorruptible argument for the 360? "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Pidesco Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 PC. It's more versatile, most games I want to play come out on it, and I can't afford a proper sized TV anyway. And there's always emulation... :ninja10: "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.

Hurlshort Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I'm picking Krookie in the chris the jedi uncapitilizer vs. Krook death match. But he plays hockey and knows where the shift key is, so it shouldn't be much of a contest. It's not surprising that our younger members are all siding with a console over the PC. Give them ten years, and they will inevitably switch sides.
Tale Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I don't even need to put in the disc for most of my games on my PC. And I've got tons better games than Crapdown. hell at least crackdown is better than gta 1 crap game being better than another crap game? TELL ME IT ISN'T SO!

Llyranor Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I don't really do much PC gaming nowadays, and it's mostly reserved for the wargame genre. This is pretty much as hardcore as it gets, though, and I don't except consoles to steal the thunder from PC gaming in this area. That being said, I don't really care much for the usual popular genres here (RTS, FPS, etc). What I really like the 360 for is casual gaming, particularly co-op. Co-op, splitscreen or online (for which I do appreciate the convenience of Xbox Live - the yearly fee is pretty trivial), is the main reason why I often favor this system. More games need co-op. The DS is also very cool for casual handheld gaming. I really like being able to just sit or lie around anywhere and still be able to play games. Other strengths of the system are good 2d support and some unique touchscreen gameplay when properly implemented. Now, currently, my bias leans towards the 360 since I've been doing a lot of co-op lately. The PC is great for hardcore wargaming, but I only spend fairly short sessions on them, since they can be pretty exhausting/demanding. The DS is more for 'on the side' gaming, for which it's great. The PC/console elitism rampant here and elsewhere can be pretty pathetic, though. People should focus that energy and volunteer in the community or something.

Blarghagh Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) PC. Almost everything ever on a console will at some point have an emulator and roms available for it anyway. Except for perhaps the Wii. I am not quite sure how an emulator for that would work; especially since a lot of the appeal is in the body movement rather than the games themselves. EDIT: Also, I often hear that one of the big advantages of consoles is playing it on a television set with just a controller; I don't really get that because it's remarkably easy to just hook up your computer to a tv.

Krookie Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Consoles are easier. Maybe when I'm older and have a job I'll like PCs. The thing is my income is about $500 a year from birthday money and Chirstmas. I can't afford to buy a new graphics card or a new motherboard or any of that other stuff just because a new game comes out. It's cheaper for me to buy a $500 console and play it for five years.
samm Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 PC is still and probably will be the most fun game system for me. The wii was great fun when tested, so as soon as it'll be available in black or without wii-sports, one will come into our household. I always thought that the X-Box is superflouos and PS3 way too expensive. Might get a PS2 for some japan-rpgs soon though. Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
