I love video games, I dont give a %^^&&* what console or pc they are played on as long as they are fun. I have always owned every console made since 1990. I have never been a pc gamer and never cared to be. A place called Titan gaming opened up by my house. I guess it is kinda like a arcade, but the have big screen hd tv's, wii, 360,ps3, and gaming pc's. That you pay to play. Its 4.00 a hr, thats not bad. I have all 3 consoles so I only wanted to play the pc games I never get to play. I really wanted to play Crisis but he didnt have it. I did play cod4, gears and bioshock. I only played them to kill time { I have beat them all on the 360} my GF dropped me off so she could go shopping. The Kbm sucks for me compared to the controllers Im used to. These are top of the line pc's and yes they look a little better than the console games but not to the extent you hermits are making it out to be. In short I just dont see how everything is better on PC.

I just cant help but feed the troll.

You have never played games on the PC, nuff said.

You wont just adapt to the mouse and keys. You are judging it based on 4 per hour ? you have never played PC games.

You're not a PC gamer, and you try to bash a system you have barely used?

Typical consolite arguments. Jesus, where are the GOOD console fanboys?

Coyo7e

Wow, troll? I am not trolling at all. This is what really happened today, What do you mean judging 4.00 a hr. Yea this place has like 30 or 40 Pc's linked to play games. Top of the line. A projector for kids to play the wii together. There is also a seperate section for ps3 and 360 online gaming. I just played the best PC offers, besides CRISIS and the difference is not enough to even stroke a key about in systemwars.

Couldn't disagree more. The thing I love about the PC is you get what you put into it. If you don't like an interface, change it. If you don't like a MP map, make a new one. If you don't like the gameplay, get a mod. Graphics looking a little stale, download a texture pack. Want a better gaming experience without having to get a completely new system that may or may not be supported by independent devs, no problem, just upgrade what you need.

With consoles, you're stuck with what comes in the box. Don't think the graphics are up to par? Well then wait about 5 years for next gen. Too much onscreen action causing lag, tough luck, I'm sure next gen will have more power. Consoles are simpler, but simple isn't always better.

For me, the best thing about PCs is, unlike consoles, devs can always push the envelope in technology and gameplay without having to worry about the system being powerful enough to run the game. There's a good reason why almost every gameplay innovation started with the PC.

I love video games, I dont give a %^^&&* what console or pc they are played on as long as they are fun. I have always owned every console made since 1990. I have never been a pc gamer and never cared to be. A place called Titan gaming opened up by my house. I guess it is kinda like a arcade, but the have big screen hd tv's, wii, 360,ps3, and gaming pc's. That you pay to play. Its 4.00 a hr, thats not bad. I have all 3 consoles so I only wanted to play the pc games I never get to play. I really wanted to play Crisis but he didnt have it. I did play cod4, gears and bioshock. I only played them to kill time { I have beat them all on the 360} my GF dropped me off so she could go shopping. The Kbm sucks for me compared to the controllers Im used to. These are top of the line pc's and yes they look a little better than the console games but not to the extent you hermits are making it out to be. In short I just dont see how everything is better on PC.lolkie_81

WOW! Someone, that is unbiased finally puts the hermits in their place! They just dont realize that their games arnt that much better. There is a noticable difference but its nothing drastic or thats worth a $1500 dollars! Can the PS3 play Crysis on max settings? Your crazy if you say so, but it is possible if the devs put some effort in it to play it on a Medium-High setting.

Crysis on Console: OMG IS THIS F-ING REAL?!?!?!!?

Crysis on PC: I want to play Crysis not watch a mov....*droolz*

Thats how my friend explained it to me. There is only so good of graphics you can commerically get and the PS3 comes pretty damn close to the top.

You just keep thinking that. What do you consider top of the line btw? You probably don't know. More than likely you seen some PC that displayed medicore graphics and thought it was top of the line. I can understand how you feel about the K&M. When I first started to game on PC I used a controller. Then I realized that I won't be able to do my best because of the inaccuracy and lack of freedom using a controller. So I moved to using the controller to move and the mouse to aim and shoot. Eventually I started to use both the K&M and never went back. While the controller is good for things like platforms and fighters, it pales in comparison to the K&M for games that require precision and timing.p

PC gaming is not causal friendly at all. For a hardcore gamer that = lack of depth.

You will not just sit down with a mouse and key board and start ripping people up online if you have never used it to play games. The controller is desighned to be easy to use.

When I started really PC gaming about 4 and half years ago. Like getting into shooters for some serious fun. It took me a good 2 weeks to even get a little cozy and months to become truly skilled with the mouse and keys. And years to become a master.

But after you adapt nothing else comes close.

Damn,where to begin.

-patch support

-long lasting fanbases

-modding communities

-keyboard/mouse

-better graphics

-more capabilities (ex. Crysis is impossible on consoles)

All of those things I just listed,and putting aside the fact that the best games of all time,all the games that have redefined genres,have been PC games. (I know not every single one,don't flame)

Every year the best games released are on the PC. Face it,PC games are made with more care and polish than Console games. Play Crysis and watch the frogs and the butterflies in the woods,all of the inaminate objects you can pick up,throw around,and beat enemies up with. Then look at amazing RPG's like the Witcher,a true RPG,not the Mass Effect stuff you guys get on consoles. (not saying ME is bad,just didn't live up to the hype IMO)

Yes a Crysis could be done on consoles, but it won't be the same one as on pc. You think consoles will run it at medium or high settings? More like low. And medium if they shrink the level size and view distance. Consoles don't have the amount of ram needed and their gpus are a generation behind. Try running Crysis with a Geforce 7900 or Radeon XT1950 and you can get a feel of how it would be on consoles in its current form. But to be honest man, I'm not saying Crysis is this super good game. Its medicore imo.

You don't see everything is better on PC because you're not a PC gamer. Simple as that. I've been PC ONLY gaming for 10 years and believe me PC is always superior especially compared to the inferior PS3/360. I love the wii very much though because it's totally unique, innovative, different and fun from any other platform i've played including the PC.

Ah, here we go again!

The mad rush of insecure hermits coming to slay the evil console player... If the PC is so superior, I wonder why they have to defend it so much.

farrell2k

because everything has detractors? People have opinions? A lot of peopleare stupid? Pick any of the 3 you like

EDIT: just wanted to say, this is mainly refering to the morons who say things Like Uncharted>Crysis graphically.

You can only blame the PC for not going mainstream like atari , nintendo and sega did in the "80"s. PC gaming is superior but the price is also superior to consoles. PC gaming will always be underground for its existance. I mean honestly, in "86" when i was playing super mario bros on the NES where was the mighty PC and its great graphical games then? Im no johnny come lately, what i grew up with is what im sticking with and thats consoles even if they are not superior to PC!

I promise you that you have never ever read a post from 90% of hardcore PC gamers. Most will never ever visit this forum. Only those of us that also really enjoy console gaming as well (I own all three) will ever show their face.

When a PC topic comes up I will feed the troll sometimes. I feel bad for people who are self described gamers and have never purchased a gaming PC. You are still ignorant to so much of what gaming is all about.

myke2010

If the PC isn't superior, I wonder why console fanboys attack it so much? Envy? Ignorance? I love my 360, but anyone who owns consoles and gaming PC's has no doubt about which is superior.

You know,I did something interesting the other day. I went up to my 360,turned on CoD4,and played the SP level 'bog'. Then I came down to my PC,and downloaded the CoD4 demo,which has the exact same level,bog.

After playing through the level on both systems,the first thing I said was "Damn,I should have bought this game for PC."

Everything about it was 10X better. The controls felt amazing,i didn't have to slugishlly move around with an analog stick,I aimed with the mouse,and I was there in an instant. The graphics looked relativaly the same,but the game felt more immersive on PC. Being right there,up close to an HD monitor,it's alot more intense than sitting on a couch.

This was kind of the final proof for me that everything is better on PC's.

Lol, another perfect example of someone who is bashing a system he has clearly never properly used. The fact that you think PC games are not drastically better looking than console games proves you have never played a game like crysis. And your comment that Crysis is possible on consoles is not true. The term "impossible" means it cant be done. Of course a ripoff (farcry instincts) can be done of crysis but no one can say they are the same game, to many changes need to be made. console games in no way come close to PC games technicly, watching afew low res videos on the net will not show you this, when you use the editor in crysis you can see on the first level that it is HUGE!!! and there is no loading between, this would be impossible with a console that has a tiny 512mb of ram.

[QUOTE="lolkie_81"]I love video games, I dont give a %^^&&* what console or pc they are played on as long as they are fun. I have always owned every console made since 1990. I have never been a pc gamer and never cared to be. A place called Titan gaming opened up by my house. I guess it is kinda like a arcade, but the have big screen hd tv's, wii, 360,ps3, and gaming pc's. That you pay to play. Its 4.00 a hr, thats not bad. I have all 3 consoles so I only wanted to play the pc games I never get to play. I really wanted to play Crisis but he didnt have it. I did play cod4, gears and bioshock. I only played them to kill time { I have beat them all on the 360} my GF dropped me off so she could go shopping. The Kbm sucks for me compared to the controllers Im used to. These are top of the line pc's and yes they look a little better than the console games but not to the extent you hermits are making it out to be. In short I just dont see how everything is better on PC.Ramadear

WOW! Someone, that is unbiased finally puts the hermits in their place! They just dont realize that their games arnt that much better. There is a noticable difference but its nothing drastic or thats worth a $1500 dollars! Can the PS3 play Crysis on max settings? Your crazy if you say so, but it is possible if the devs put some effort in it to play it on a Medium-High setting.

Crysis on Console: OMG IS THIS F-ING REAL?!?!?!!?

Crysis on PC: I want to play Crysis not watch a mov....*droolz*

Thats how my friend explained it to me. There is only so good of graphics you can commerically get and the PS3 comes pretty damn close to the top.

Yes a Crysis could be done on consoles, but it won't be the same one as on pc. You think consoles will run it at medium or high settings? More like low. And medium if they shrink the level size and view distance. Consoles don't have the amount of ram needed and their gpus are a generation behind. Try running Crysis with a Geforce 7900 or Radeon XT1950 and you can get a feel of how it would be on consoles in its current form. But to be honest man, I'm not saying Crysis is this super good game. Its medicore imo.

I think it is a very good game, I played it, but, it is not something that really divides the PC from the Consoles. PC=Console except it is just more expensive and a little prettier.

I had a $1500 back in 04/05 computer that out stripped my 360 and it still couldnt play Halo CE nearly as well as on the console. Look at Bioshock, it is just as good looking and big as it is on the PC and on the Console. What people dont realize is that the PC and Console are two entirely different animals. RAM and CPUs and GPUs dont apply the same on the console as on the PC. Ex: Stranglehold. And look at Crysis. Requires 1G of RAM for XP but 1.5 for Vista. See, half a Gig for just one little variation. Anyway, is there that big of a difference from Medium to high?

PCs are dynamic while consoles are static. Big companies dont spend hundreds of millions devoloping these console for the PC to best them in a years time. The consoles are made soley for games so the cost goes way down. So you get the gaming capabilitys of a 1-2 thousand dollar rig for the price of 4-6 hundred.

Sorry, but that ship has sailed. The gap isn't anywhere near that large this generation. A 650 dollar rig can match and outperform all the current gen consoles.

Lol, another perfect example of someone who is bashing a system he has clearly never properly used. The fact that you think PC games are not drastically better looking than console games proves you have never played a game like crysis. And your comment that Crysis is possible on consoles is not true. The term "impossible" means it cant be done. Of course a ripoff (farcry instincts) can be done of crysis but no one can say they are the same game, to many changes need to be made. console games in no way come close to PC games technicly, watching afew low res videos on the net will not show you this, when you use the editor in crysis you can see on the first level that it is HUGE!!! and there is no loading between, this would be impossible with a console that has a tiny 512mb of ram.

yea I have never Played crisis. Read the post, THATS WHY I went there, to play crisis. He didnt have it on them system. I played ALL the other console/pc games on the market ATM. That is what this post is about

[QUOTE="lolkie_81"] In short I just dont see how everything is better on PC.bobaban

Better graphics, better controls, better community, better games, need I go on?

1. the best looking games have been on the pc but in general pc games and console games look the same.

2. pure opinion.

3. Better community? who takes that into account? Well anyway i've never played a pc game online so i can't compare.

4. that's just an opinion. Personally, the only games i'm interested in on the pc are also on consoles.

all multiplats look better on the PC.

and best community is important, because the PC community gives custom maps and mods...you dont get that on consoles.

Considering nobody cares about your opinion, I'd say no.

the only thing pc gamer controlls are good at is rts and fps. other then that the controller is far better. kbm is not made for gaming so its no shock. i find wii controllls are better for fps when done right cus they feel more real.

Community is one of,if not the best things about PC gaming. On consoles,when one game comes out,everyone goes and plays it,then the next shooter comes out but this one has a new hat! Everyone goes and plays that and the old game is abandoned.

People still play the original Team Fortress,an 11 year old game,on PC. People still play Ultima Online,a 10 year old MMO. PC gamers don't abandon games,they stick with them and mod them for years to come. That's why IMO PC gaming feels more inviting,atleast to me.

HaloCE was unoptimized. Thats what happens when the developer makes a sloppy PC port, it makes the requirements higher than they should be. A PC isn't a console, a console is a PC except toned down and aimed at the mainstream audience. I'm not sure why people think that the ram, cpu and gpu are different for consoles, they are the same. The only difference is developers get to focus on a single platform instead of developing for the mass array of PC configurations. Thus making it run its best. Regardless what you are trying to get at, the 360/PS3 are entry level PCs. Which don't have the power to run Crysis in its current form.

Graphically there is a big difference between medium and high detail and also a performance difference. But even at medium detail the 8800s gpus don't run it as smooth as one might think. Though I think Crysis would run a lot better if it was Quad core optimized but its not. It only uses dual core technology. So PCs costs $1000-$1500? It depends if you are buying a whole new one or not. Upgrading doesn't cost any where near that much. But lets use what you said as a example, that a individual needed to buy a new gaming pc with everything. Then consider if someone needed to buy a 360/PS3 with accessories and a HDTV. The price would come out to the same.

If you can't notice a difference in graphics, you probaby play using default settings, try to tweak the settings to max then you will notice !

You're not a PC gamer, and you try to bash a system you have barely used?

Typical consolite arguments. Jesus, where are the GOOD console fanboys?

aliblabla2007

So a PC gamer that isn't a console gamer can insult Consoles without worry but if you are a console gamer insulting PC gaming it's a crime? Wow, holy **** where are the logical hermits?

I doubt all the bells and whistles were enabled then. Unlike consoles, you need to enable settings to increase the visuals.

I agree with TC the PC is always touted as some kind of gaming perfection but it's really just a big hassle.

I hate PC gaming because there are too many games to choose from, too much hardware customization, and just plain too much choice. I like having a giant corporation tell me what to think and play - I feel uncomfortable making my own decisions. Buying into a generic identity fed to me by a faceless conglomerate gives me the blind conformity I crave.
