[QUOTE="ish_gibbor"]I edited my last post before you posted this check it out. If I am wrong I am willing to check out a creditable source for the amount of money spent in 2006 on each relative system. AdrianWerner
money spend how? On development? PC will have more, altough it might have less in marketing. 360 games cost more to make and much more to market than pc( pc devs can achieve the same quality with much less money), but it's still bassicaly US-centric system, while Pc games are more wide-spread around the world. Plus the pcgaming market is much bigger and brings more money than 360 market

No, it does not. Very, very few PC games ever even come close to reaching 500,000 copies sold, much less 1 million.

Really you think PC games over all make more money than 360? ish_gibbor

of course, but on 360 there are couple times less games and even there the game is either big seller or flops hard like hell, there's little middle in between. PCgaming makes more money than 360 one, much more, the money is just spread between more titles plus of course a PCgame that sells 300K is often quite a big success and allows developer to surive couple years, on 360 300K game can only result in developer going out of business

Untrue, I can probably name you 40 PC games that have sold at least 1 million (and many of those would be much, much more than 1 million.)

If money is no issue, built a monster pc. Keep in mind that many of the best PC games will be ported to the 360 also. PC's are more expensive and have more headaches but can be as strong as the money you put in them. Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Of course you can, so could I, but you're talking about a platform that has existed and continues to exist for a good deal of time compared to consoles. However, how I might say, per capita, PC games have far fewer high selling games compared to consoles. 40 - 60 games do not scratch the amount of games released in a year for the PC, by far, where as 40 - 60 games is a lot for many consoles.

So then the qualifier very, very few seems excessive. And it's not necessarily a lot for a console such as the PS2. My point was, comparisons are rather irrelevant in that regard.

Why waste money on a 360? Yes 360 fans can rattle off exclusives for now, but most ,just like before, will come to the P.C. The PS3 and Wii will have games that will never come to the P.C. unless they are emulated. Can 360 fans even play Halo 1 on-line now? :lol:

But it might. Just like Crysis might come to 360. Quit your Hermit hating, they've been nothing but reasonable in this thread.

Gears is a MGS game and Epic confirmed its staying on 360 . The last game made my Crytek ended up on a M$ and Nintendo console game.set.and match

not it was the crappy ubi port not made by crytek and epic would like to bring gears to pc they have said it.

[QUOTE="The_Nemacyst"][QUOTE="Planeforger"][QUOTE="Thug_Pikachu"]Gears of War and Mass Effect . Damn that was easy /thread


I don't know about Gears, but Bioware will port Mass Effect over eventually. Probably after they've finished porting their other 'Xbox exclusive' title, Jade Empire.

Jade empire came out on 2005, and now it hasn't even come out on the PC yet. I fail to see the "ownage" Do PC gamers have to wait 2-3 years to get old Xbox exclusives?

and xbox owners got the GREAT quake 4 port full of frame rate issues and many other poblems while the pc version ran great :lol:

no...not really..the only reason why you see current multiplatforms being better on 360 is because they are designed for 360 first and then ported to ps3. when a game will be designed for ps3 first and then ported to 360 then PS3 version will be better. example: Virtua tennis 3, ps3 version is much better than 360 one. the same will happen with virtua fighter 5 and sega rally 3

that's not entirely true. The cell may not be made for gaming, but once they tap into it's power games would look very much the same. Also games that are made from sratch on the ps3 will always be better than 360 ports.

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"][QUOTE="Spartan070"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"] well..honestly by PC standarts neither forza and gran turismo are racing sims. they're not realistic enough. they're arcade-sims. compared to stuff like GTR 1-2, F1 challenge 99-02, Nascar Racing 2003, NetKar PRO, Live for Speed S2 or rfactor they're child's play. If you take GTR2 and put it on arcade settings you will get GT-level of realism.

:? Play GT 3 with the Logictec steering wheel, something tells me you never have. NO racer on the planet makes those two look like "childs play," I think the rest of the gaming world agrees with me.

I did play GT3 and 4 on momo and trust me...play any of those I've named and you will see what I'm talking about. GT is nice, but it's very arcadish compared to best pc sims. if you take any of the best ones and put it on arcade setting( instead of realistic ones) you will get GT4-level of realism

I HAVE  GT4 and GT3 with a Logitech Force Feedback wheel (that I also use for PC!), and yes GT (and Forza on my Xbox) are arcadey compared to the PC sims listed.

Hell im still playing Richard Burns Rally (and GT2 :P), and thats UNBELEIVABLY realstic.
Nothing topples Live for Speed in realism though...

the 360 gets more games than the PC does. For me though the most important thing is I can RENT games. I never seen a place rent PC games. I use gameznflix.com and I can have two games out at a time and keep them as long as I want no late fees for $13 a month. I am able to beat a lot of games this way, and that makes consoles important for me.

ish_gibbor

Umm the local Blockbuster (two of em) Rents PC games, and so does the local Game Traders (franchise) store :lol:


Besides PC has digital distribution - no leaving the house for games :D

most of the 360 games are on/coming to the PC (GeOW, Halo 3 etc.)... i have a good gaming PC, so... why buy a 360 instead of a PS3 or Wii?

AdrianWerner

gears of war

call of duty 3

turok

haze

graw 2

crackdown

halo 3

sega rally 3

n some more stuff

some of those are coming to PC and if he buys ps3 the only ones from that list he won;t be able to play are GeoW and crackdown

the xbox 360 versions will be better, i can list some more games...that will not be on pc and ps3 wii.

I'm preety sure Seg Rally 3 will be better on ps3 than 360

LOL...all multiplatform games will be better on xbox 360, because more powerful hardware.



that's not entirely true. The cell may not be made for gaming, but once they tap into it's power games would look very much the same. Also games that are made from sratch on the ps3 will always be better than 360 ports.

ps3 has trash graphics.

enjoy your crappy port of Virtua Fighter 5 :D and no..ps3 doesn't have trash graphics

Saying the PS3 has trash graphics confirms this is no simple lemming, but an XBot.

Look at Lair, Mercs2, MotorStorm, Warhawk, and all those other titles I forgot to list.

Good question, if your happy with your pc then i cant give you a reason to get a 360, may as well go for one of the others. ( i am a 360 owner btw, check sig)

I would say for Fable 2, Mistwalker games that PC will never get, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Gears etc

I can't think of anything similar for PS3 for at least teo more years, and Wii gets no rpg's at all

With Vista I'll be able to use games and even the 360 controller ... I'll love my laptop even more now and it'll be portable ... and I'll save the cost of the console =D

I didn't find a reason myself, so there's no point in getting a 360 for me. Wii and PC is perfect.

for splitscreen mulitplayer.

a secured online network to play on, with everyone having equal hardware.

EVERY 360 online game supports voice...not so with pc games.

the advantage of playing on a 50" hdtv verus a 19" pc monitor

uploadable soundtracks.

You can play the PC on a HDTV just like a console, almost every single pub that you play in has an accompanying ventrillo with much better codecs than xbox live, we have splitscreen multiplayer, there are standardized PCs, and you can use winamp ( Cause it really whips the llama's ***)

PC are great if you have the time, patients and know how to set everything up. 99% of the population wouldn't have a clue though.


The 360 is certinaly not pointless as it has a lot of games that won't come out on the PC at all or for several years.

360 is not worth the money, del with it. with PC you can not only play, but do billion things more, and play only for free and much better online btw. 360 isnt worth at all.

I'm a pc gamer first and foremost. But the 360 is the best gaming console this gen. Go study the overall technology of the consoles. The 360 is an ultra efficient work of art.

Nvidia will ship 10-14 million DX10 cards. Vista has released and you need 1 gig of ram to run Vista. If you want to start DX10 gaming then you need Vista. So it looks like soon all Pc gamers will have 1-2 gigs of ram and a DX10 card and dont say "DX10 cards cost 600$" because soon 8600GTX will release and that will be 100-200$ and by the time Crysis releases an 8800 GTX will cost 200-300.

You dont need a 360 if you have a good PC,my 360's been gathering dust since I finshed GeOW.Most mult-plat games are better on PC anyway........mods free online etc.
