Black Ops 2 isnt even freaking out. Why are we talking about in context of Premium? Wtf is this? Its been established for a while that Premium is better than Elite in most every way. Gamesterpheonix
Because Premium is the same price as Black Ops 2, therefore we can compare value.

COD release games annually which forces you to buy a new game if you want to play the same old stuff, because it kills off older generations fast (MW2 I believe has had its servers shut down). BF3 does not release a new game annually, and it has a 2011 engine instead of the 2007 engine IW is using. Noone is forcing you to buy premium in order to enjoy BF3, I'm doing fine without it..

MW2's servers have not been shut down, at least I hope not because that would mean they would have shut down COD4 servers (please no!!). But I recall playing COD4 on PS3 about 4 months ago so I doubt they've taken down MW2 by now that was 2 years older. EA and DICE are trying to force you to buy Premium though.

Yeah, the PC has the best graphics and controls for multiplats, but it misses out on some good ones sometimes like SSX, Final Fantasy, Marvel vs Capcom, and overall a lot of Japanese games.

Being a PC gamer with a PS3 on the side is the best setup IMO. But of course I would love to have other consoles but I prioritized spending that money on a better PC.

I'm currently deciding when to upgrade my PC. I'm going to buy an entirely new rig, new tower, motherboard, the whole set up. I was going to do it right now, but then I thought about it a bit more, and I am now considering doing it after the Xbox 720 and PS4 come out. I want to make sure that when I upgrade, it's significantly more powerful than next gen consoles.

Like I was saying earlier, you can use less RAM and a lower quality GPU and CPU in a console to achieve a better result than the equivalent used in a PC. Basically what I'm saying is, hardware has more potential on a console because the firmware/operating system is limited, streamlined, and both the software and hardware are unified/streamlined combining to produce a fully optimized platform. No PC can ever be as optimized as a console, it's just not possible. So while specs for next gen consoles may seem weak compared to a top end PC, they're able to do more with the cheaper hardware than a PC is capable of.

I wanna wait until PS4 and 720 come out, wait a little bit and then make the big PC upgrade so I know it's more powerful than the consoles by a significant margin.

What I did is get a GTX 670, with a PSU and Mobo that have the ability to go SLI in the future. And believe me, SLI 670's will be MUCH more powerful than next gen consoles.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"]How long does it usually last? I go away on Thursday for a week :(KABCOOL

If you have an iPhone or an iPod you can get the app which has all the sales.

Unfortunately I will never purchase an Apple product so.... I probably should be able to get intermittent internet access so I could probably buy stuff if I needed to. Do they have different deals everyday or the same ones over the week? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob to this since DD wasn't an option for me until this year.

I think that PC is the best if you're a huge fan of Blizzard (Which I am), but unless you take full advantage of Blizzard games, PC isn't as good as consoles in terms of library.

PC is also the best if you are a multiplat gamer mainly, and have no interest in console exclusives.

[QUOTE="Nike_Air"]

Where are the 360 exclusives ?

  • Akai Katana (a shmup) - 75 Metacritic
  • Quarrel (DL word game , lol) - 79 Metacritic
  • Happy Action Theatre (DL Kinect game , lol) - 80 Metacritic
  • Trials Evolution (just a DL game) - 90 Metcaritic ..... but JOURNEY beat your best exclusive , LMAO

I don't expect Fez to stay exclusive if it's not lost already , do you ?

I'd take StarHawk , Twisted Metal , and Journey over that lineup and it would be an easy decision.

So you would take flops over Halo 4 and Forza Horizon? You're in the minority then bro.

Maybe those games will flop ;)

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"]If it's 1080p then count me in. Wasdie

Oh man that would look terrible.

PS1 textures + 1080p. Ugh.

Not to mention, FF7 uses pre-rendered backgrounds. Those wouldn't scale well.

I highly doubt they would release a game with a crazy low max resolution. There is a mod apparently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIgvYq49lIQ You're right, the environments are horribly pixelated but the fights look alright. Maybe Square will do an HD remake and at least allow 1080p, but for that price I doubt it.

[QUOTE="ebrezzy1"]

[QUOTE="Badosh"] Yet, neither of those are exclusive. So?JohnnyCageMK

don't see it on any platform other then a sony one

People can buy a Vita and play them without having a PS3. Not exclusive. 360 is getting Halo 4 and Forza Horizon. PS3 might not get a single quality retail exclusive all year.

God you're an idiot. That's like saying Diablo 3 is multiplat because it's on MAC. And don't say that. I know you're dumb but.... Just don't.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="lowe0"] Depends. I played MP3 on 360. Played Deus Ex on PC. GTA IV on 360. Ghost Recon on 360. Playing Skyrim on 360. Rage on PS3, and later 360. Syndicate on PC. Crysis 2 on PS3, and later PC. MW3 on PS3, and later PC. The Run on PS3. Battlefield 3 on all 3.RyuRanVII

I have 2 things to say about this. 1. You must have A LOT of money to play all these games on multiple platforms. 2. Why on earth would you play games like Skyrim on the console when you have a SLI PC?!? I have no words....

It makes no sense paying more for an inferior experience.

Not entirely sure what you're referring to by that.....

[QUOTE="sandbox3d"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] animes (well OVAs actually), a film, extended universe, novels, spin offs, they make cloud (and anything related to FF7) look like the biggest deal of any appearance they make, hell they even based FFXIII main character on Cloud, the character creator said it himself "I got a phone call from the director saying he wanted the main character to be a female version of cloud". Square has NEVER let go of FF7 and they have milked the franchise to deathlightleggy

Which sucks as its not even the best game in the series, nor the best cast of characters. They really should give it a rest. I think SE still doesnt realize why it was such a big deal back then and why its not anywhere near as relevant now.

yeah, i've said it before and i'll keep saying it: FF7 was only that successful because of the time it was released on and because it was the first FF for PSX, if FF9 would have been released on the PSX before FF7, FF9 would be at FF7's place. and FF7 cast is terrible seriously, cloud and sephiroth are the 2 most overrated characters in videogames

That's your opinion, bro.
