PC 360 and PS3 oh and Wii (It's a rant)
by LordMeteos on Comments
Weedamando or whatever their name is got me thinking about PCs and Consoles. First of all getting a system to play a game that just came out within 4 months of the date you plan to buy your computer and or the parts is absolute absurdity. If you want to play a game wait at least 6 months and then get a computer that can run the game as well as you want it to run. Consoles of course shouldn't have that problem except when consoles run into hard drive. For the Wii and 360 especially if you get just a regular 360 and you want a serious collection of games and their save files to have on it then it is going to cost you to get more memory. Any relatively new computer that comes out now has enough hard drive to run at least 50 games and still have plenty of space for other files and more games. Everyone I know who owns a computer already pays for an Internet connection. Why because of the bundle pack that came with TV, telephone service, and Internet all for whatever for the first month. Or just because they text too much and typing is easier so they do instant messaging or so that they can have email. Xbox Live is not so. I do have to congratulate the Wii and PS3 for either non-monthly Internet (besides your regular one for the Wii) or free Internet service altogether. The Wii has inevitably failed my expectations as a console. You finally have the chance to bring motion senses to play in any manner of game and you waste it on Tennis and Exercise. The Wiimote has so few buttons it requires an upgrade just so you have a control stick and 2 more index finger buttons. While the PS3 I have mainly ignored because I don't have one and I don't plan too because it is the middle. Also because all of the games that I want are on both PS3 and the 360 so I can't say much about the PS3 and I apologize for leaving it out of my rant. Sins of a Solar Empire. One of the best PC RTS games on the market at this time perhaps THE best. I think the PC has much more potential when all consoles have to conform to whatever they put in the first one of that model they make. Buying a 360 game now has to work on a graphics card created what 2 years ago? I really am tired right now so if there is a game you like and it is on PC wait 6-12 months to get a more affordable computer that can run the game without having to get another upgrade. Also if you want a gaming computer it can't be a Mac.
