Why are so many fanboys in system wars unaware of this BIG fact?

[QUOTE="Dick_Derringer"]

Muliplats are ALWAYS best on PC.

The only games that are "better on 360" or "better on PS3" are the ones that aren't on PC.

Have fun fighting for second place, fanboys!

Not really. I sure as heck don't have my pc hooked up to a 50in Plasma with a 5.1 custom built sound system, I don't sit on a comfortable couch when I'm on the pc, and if I succumb to using a controller for pc games, in addition to hooking it up to the theater--well, I might as well call it a gaming console.

Split screen is pointless TBH.

If you friends know how to play a certain game, chances are that they the own the game and that console. So it's much better to just play online.

If they don't own the game and console, chances are that you'll crush them and it just won't be fun.

disagree, Anshul...i enjoy having friends over to play splitscreen games. heck, to this day we still play metal arms into the wee hours. my opinion, of course.

Assassins's Creed 2 says hi.enterawesome

and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

I can't seem to grasp why someone would choose an inferior console over a kick ass PC. :| It boggles the mind! :P

I thought it was pretty much an accepted fact that PC's had better graphics potentiol than consoles...why is this still being brought up?

i understand...i've noticed that most games that have an online component tend to have splitscreen anyway.

but what i i like playing with a couple of friends in the room instead of all on my own? ONline is great 'cos you can get much bigger games, always available etc, but if i wanna play with my friends, i find it way more enjoyable to play with them actually in the room for banter purposes. As said though, its all opinion

i use all 4 but its because its boring and played out we all know pc is graphics king/usually not always better multiplat but theres no reason it should'nt with the money you pay to get the pc to play games at max settings..

I have mine hooked to my 52, and I game KB/M from my recliner, to me it is another console. Whats wrong with that.

All systems have their strongsuit, and PC certainly has it's fair share.

99% of the time you would be correct. Everyone once and a while the PC will get a lower quality port for some reason. Wasnt GTA IV better on PS3/360 than the PC?

Hardware compatibility? Um? Even a standard Dell PC with a mid ranged graphic card will play a game better then a console would. Software compatibility? This isn't the age of Windows DOS :roll: Installing. So you couldn't wait 5 minutes for a game to install, which you could use to grab a drink, or make some food? :roll:. I've never experienced a "install failure". Because most people don't have their computer hooked up to their TVs, it means YOU can't do it? :?. Seriously, who plays split screen these days? And your friend couldn't sit beside you and help you find collectables / solve puzzles? PC doesn't miss out on alot of multiplats, but it does miss out on a few exclusives.

And what I was implying is, why exclude yourself from PC gaming, when you can play all 3? Xbox, PS3 and PC? You're the person excluding yourself from PC gaming. :|

Not always, but 95% of the time, the PC version is much better.

Really? Gamespot didn't seem to think so when it came to Final Fantasy VII.

At retail there are many PC games that are worse than the console counterparts. The problem is some people try as hard as they can to discredit and banish patches and mods.

Also people just look at the score and not the review. FFVII PC is mostly worse than the PS one, only because it is like the PS one. Just the crappy AVIs and MIDIs made the PS version superior in some way. Patches and mods made it better on PC.

The same with RE4. The PC version with all the mods available makes it, arguably, better or at least on par with the Wii version.

[QUOTE="real_nimrod"]

[QUOTE="anshul89"]What I mean is that, if a game has an option for online play, then splitscreen is useless.

2. Shared screen is better than online for many competitive games like fighters.

3. Some of us have things like wives or girlfriends who like to play games with us. I play offline splitscreen games (like Borderlands) or games that allow split-screen in online matches (like Warhawk or Resistance 2) WAAAAAY more than other online games.

I play all consoles, but I primarily game on my PC, if I have the choice. (PC -> Primary gaming, Consoles -> For exclusives). :P But some people are intentionally refusing to see the PC as a really good system. I mean, I know PC gaming can cost alot if you want all the bells and whistles, and it's not as simplistic as a console, but once you get the grasp of it, the PC has alot to offer. This wasn't aimed directly at you, and I'm sorry if I sound patronising, but to everyone who hasn't gamed on a PC before, it's quite cool. 8)

No the real fun part is most people that try (but epicly fail) to bash the PC have never owned one themselfs and failed trying to play with mouse and keyboard (wich offcourse is far superior to a controller).

I have played my fair share of console games years ago but i will never return becaus theres a MAJOR been there done that feeling. I still play lots of PC games and even if i play certain PC games for the 100th time i still don't have that "been there done that feeling" becaus of randomness, huge depth and massive replayability wich you only get on PC.

I'm no fanboy of the PC, my god 90% of the games these days are as lame as the console games, i just love to play civilization, sim city, x-com, heroes of might and magic, warcraft, starcraft, etc.

-edit-

Again, i see a lot of people whine about the cost of a PC. My advice, invest in a good monitor and case, get a keyboard and mouse for a couple of bucks and after that your PC will cost you 300 to 400 euro each time.

let me list what you need to play a game like dragon age origins just fine:

MB = 60 to 100 euro

CPU = 60 to 100 euro

Videocard = 60 to 100 euro

ram = 60 to 100 euro

Thats all you need if you already own a good monitor, keyboard, mouse, power. So i get the cheapest = 240 euro and get a good chair for gaming and i still be out cheaper then a damn PS3.

With this system you have the system those people bragged about a year ago, well not the raid setup or really expensive add ons, but i am alway able to play any game for this amount of money and i buy a new PC every 2 or 3 years like this. Sometimes i treat myself on a new screen or sound system but thats the same for consoles wich don't come with screen and sounsystem either.
