[QUOTE="Xtasy26"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]What's the point in having a thousand dollar TV if your console can't even display games at that resolution? Buwahahaha! Even worse, it displays games *below* that resolution at times. Tisk Tisk. Thank you, I love my new sig. Hahaha

lowe0

Exactly! I never understood this. In fact the bigger the screen the more crappier 720P and sub-HD resolution in games like Crysis 2 looks. Why spend thousands of dollars on an HDTV that can do 1080P and not buy a gaming rig for like $400-$600 range that could easily to 1080P. It doesn't make sense.

I already have a gaming PC that can do that. What good would it do me to buy another, exactly?

huh? what are you talking about?

PC wins because you can hook it up to your HDTV??? according to your reasoning, PC has nothing against consoles.

Try again later, mate.

Lot's of high specs and then he mentions one (consolized) game in the edit. Pretty much sums up hermit philosophy.

There's no way that's an 55 inch TV..looks mid 40slawlessx

look at the PS3 compared to the TV. I believe it is 55 inch, but I could be wrong. I take his word for it haha. I have a 55 inch LED LG TV (not 3D) sitting right next to me :P.

Text is hard to read when your display is that big... nor do I see a point to have a big display with a small res. Maybe if it like 5000xsomething.

It works fine for pc use just not for gaming unless its a mouse only game like plants vs zombies in which cause it works fantastic actually more comfortable then a gamepad which makes me have to use both hands and have to raise them as opposed to fully resting on my couch. The wireless keyboard just isn't comfortable to use as a movement keys when layed down on a couch for typing it's fine. My couch is a soft couch that offers little back support if you have a firmer chair or couch then getting a table like the table mate to put the m/kb would work quite nicely and be pretty damn comfortable.

Yeh but you can play consoles in a comfy chair. PC you can't apparently.

mattuk69

Don't deny it's hard to play PC with a keyboard and Mouse on a couch, lol.

I have my PC hooked up to my 40 inch Bravia, and it looks really nice. I like PC gaming a lot because of RTS games, but how fast the hardware becomes obsolete compared to consoles, and how much it costs is frustrating to me. None the less, I'm thinking about getting a new comp, either that or Wii2 depending how good the Wii2 looks.

Why do you think the PC doesn't do Split-screen? There is a nice amount of games that can do splitscreen or have coop off one computer so multiple people can play from.

Enough about "Consoles are hooked up to HDTVs." So is my PC. That is a 55" LED LCD 3D TV that my PC rocks.

PC:

i7 920 @ 4.2GHz

GTX 580

3-WAY SLI x58 MB

1000W PSU

6GB Dominator GT RAM

G19 KB / x8 Sidewinder Mouse

PS: I can't wait for Witcher 2!

Omnisystem

Very nice setup:shock: That full tower case makes that screen look small8) I cant wait to get myself a full tower

Is it the lack of split screen or bevy of online cheaters or expensive cost for a good set up or bevy of different parts or ability to play some games but not others?

If so, its a winner to me.

SPYDER0416

Why do people think there's a lot of cheaters on pc? There's almost none, and even if there is one, it's remedied much quicker than consoles because you can just ban the person from the server.

I'm one of those who believe that PC gaming rocks and is actually superior in some ways to console gaming, but that's a seriously bad argument... Of all the possible arguments you could have thrown to defend your system, this is by far the weakest.

And simply wasting time trying to prove a pointless argument in a pointless dispute about "which system is better" is a failure in itself.

He posted a TV the same size as mine but LED-lit (and 3D, which is nice but gives me a headache) and a PC somewhat faster than mine (i7 instead of i5, GTX 580 instead of 2 GTX 460s). What am I jealous of, exactly?

Yeah, but the majority of gamers can't afford a rig like that. Consoles are the best means to deliver great games to a massive audience, which I think makes them the platform of choice for any developer.

But PC's can deliver the best gaming experience, given the funds and know-how.

what are you talking about, I am a pc gamer, even though I have ps3 and 360, I am mainly a pc gamer and am just outlining its flaws. I would love to see a super smash brothers melee type game for the pc with 4 player support, or a left 4 dead pc with split screen support. Most pcs nowadays have like 10 usb ports so I don't see why you cant just hook up a few xbox 360 controllers and be good to go on a huge hdtv.

Why would anyone want split-screen? It ruins the image/game/feeling/immersion.

Halo split-screen is sooo incredibly bad, after that experience I pretty much refuse to do it. LAN parties/two consoles/two TVs: only way to fly.

just because you don't like it doesn't mean everybody else won't either. Alot of us grew up with split screen gaming and had good memories from it. Is it that hard to include local multiplayer options so people can enjoy playing games with their friends in the same room?
