Hi guys. I'm sure this topic has surfaced before but I just wanted to get an idea of how people felt about PC vs Consoles. Recently, I got back into PC gaming, while still keeping up with my console games. I have the 360 and PS3 as well, and I have no plans to sell them anytime soon.
Well, I was just comparing the PC version of Gears of War with the 360 version and the PC version clearly blows it out of the water. PC graphics are obviously better because of the horsepower it has. I'm not trying to start a war or be bias but seriously, if you are a PC/console gamer, you'll know what I mean. After playing Gears of War PC, my eye has become so trained and fixated on the PC version that I absolutely cannot look at the 360 version the same again. Unless games are Xbox 360 exclusive, I would have no choice but to buy it on the PC because graphics are far more superior on the PC. With Windows Live on the PC being free, there's really no question which would be my choice.
I hate to think that my 360 is now obsolete to me. Being a graphics junkie, graphics are extremely important to me. If I can get better graphics elsewhere, I will go there. That said, the PC clearly wins by a landslide. Everything is crisp, more textures, better everything. But what stands out the most is the crisp-ness. It's so CLEAN. No jaggies, nothing.
Like I said, I'm not trying to start a riot or flame war. I'm just stating the facts, that PC has better graphics. And for a graphics junkie like me, it would be the better choice overall. I've been console gaming since the NES days, and I even had a chance to game on an old Atari when I was just a kid. If a game is multi-platform on the PC, I'm going to get it, and that's that. Before building my own PC, I didnt think there was much of a difference graphics-wise, but I was wrong. It's like comparing apples to oranges, or Michael Phelps to an amateur swimmer at the YMCA.
Sure, I'll still keep my 360 and PS3 for all the exclusives and I'll still enjoy the consoles. I guess, a couple of years ago, this thread wouldn't have mattered. There are so many PC multi-platform games, and time exclusives being pushed out now that makes PC the obvious choice for those that have a good gaming PC.
Please share your thoughts.
