hey guys ive encountered a hard decision and it either is get an alienware pc for 100$ a month cuz my ones crap or a PS3 360 and maybe a PSP too i already have a wii and i am a PC gamer but i think 100$ a month will be too hard for my budget and i dont know if i could hsandle it im paying of alot of things right now but then ealier today i was on dell.com lookin for games and i saw that you could buy consoles there and it made me think i would be getting a alienware PC but it would be very hard for me to handle the money or a PS3 with armored core4 resistance and a X360 with gears rainbow 6 vegas and GRAW 2 with 3 months subcription package and maybe a PSP if i feel like it the computer comes to 3000$ 100$ a month or the consoles for around 1000$ for 40$ a month wich i will be able to handle the money easily so the quesion is which should i go with?

Alienware PC = overpriced pos. Build your own pc but if you had to choose between a gaming pc and 2 great consoles i would get the consoles that way you play all the lates and greates games coming out. Im not saying a gaming pc is not worth it but come on 2 consoles vs a pc isn't it obvious which is better to get.

[QUOTE="Heil68"]Game play wise Forza2 is champ. GT5 looks good, thats about it.squallff8_fan

But sales wise Gran Turismo will sell tons more copies then forza, and Gran Turismo 5 will sell alot of consoles.

So what your saying is the wii is better than the ps3?

Agreed, but this is coming from someone that loves the series so il like it even if it scores low but who knows.

90 -Play Magazine: Lair has come together beautifully... With its stunning visuals and incredible soundtrack, Lair may well be the single most powerful experience that a man can share with his $5,000 home theatre system. [Aug 2007, p.64]

Good! Looks to me as though the PS3 has its killer-app coming August 14! Finally!

[QUOTE="Ragashahs"]$50 price drop really isn't going to make that much of a difference-supercharged-

A 50$ price drop makes the core model the same price as a wii so it will make a big difference.

Who would buy a 360 just to play 360 games without LIVE? LIVE is what Xbox 360 is all about! Unless you can have XBOX LIVE gold with a memory card...

I agree that you loose alot when you don't have xbox live but every game has a single player mode and the only games i activly play online is gears and rainbow six. And yes you can get xbox live gold with a memory card.

So if the ps3 launched at a price of 300$ and it got a 50$ price drop you wouldn't buy one?

[QUOTE="Ibacai"]Well, I've heard the combat, controls, menus, and graphics are all very good. Is the story something that could bring the score down? How was the demo?xjet039

From what i heard the story may bring it down.the demo in my opioin was very fun i really liked the customazation with my character and i loved the shadows, the music was brilliant, the graphics were so pretty and amazing as well.

I agree on the shadows,graphics and custumization comment but saying the music is brilliant.. i just can't accept that i haven't heard music this bad in a lot of time.

Just because its part of the art style doesn't mean I have to like it.

PBSnipes

you dont have to like it but if a game has a darker artstyle it dosen mean its graphics suck.

Now, hear me out before you bash me:

Now, theres no doubt that Saints Row borrowed most of it's ideas from GTA, but that doesn't mean they didnt make some improvements.

I was just playing San Andreas today (its been a while since I beat it), and after playing Saints Row, it seemed a bit... Archaic.

San Andreas had a hell of a lot more to do, and more variety, but theres a lot of little touches from Saints Row that really made it feel like a tighter package, and a lot of these could be used in GTA IV to good effect.

-Free Aim (confirmed from previews :D. Although the feature was in San Andreas, it was broken due to control issues and just the fact that the game wasnt designed for it)

-Restart failed missions automatically: Now, although it makes failing a mission have worse consequences, when you fail a mission you either have to a) spend 10 minutes buying all new weapons, armor, food, which can amount to around 10k for the harder missions in the game, OR, b) Reloading your save game and getting back to the start point of the mission, and often reloading on weapons and ammo.

-Being able to keep health replenishing items in your inventory. It would make the game easier, but it could be balanced by increasing the difficulty, because I hate needing to go out of my way to get to a health restore point (restaurant, hospital, etc). It just makes sense... If food restores

-Better turf war system: Saints Row just had better gang wars (albiet they could have been a bit harder).

-A gang version of a wanted level. I just think it would add an element of danger to fighting gangs, because otherwise groups of enemy gang members are essentially just endless ammo supplies.

-More logical cutscenes:It makes no sense in San Andreas that you can get a mission from Tenpenny to go to "a ganghouse in _gang name_ territory" and you seem to know exactly where this house is. Now that every street has a name, it shouldnt be too hard.

-More intense: Saints Row had some great production values, especially in the action. Every explosion sent crap flying everywhere, and hitting a car at 150 mph would create a crazy awesome car wreck.

-Free aim from cars: Pressing L2 or R2 is borderline useless for drive by's.

Dont flame me please, I'm just saying that these things could make GTA IV, a game thats most definitely already going to be better then Saints Row, a whole lot better.

I agree with all of those saints row is a great game if they take theese ideas and put them in the alredy awesome gta the series will become even better and cooler.
