How would I convince a friend to get the Orange Box for the PC instead of the Xbox? - Games

Title says it all. She's insistent on getting it for the xbox, despite her comp specs being easily capable of running it, >80 fps. What would you suggest?

Tell her about mods, addons, hats and weapons. Oh, and a better community. Also PC master race hudda hudda

Ask her why she wants to. Then explain why all of her reasons are shit.

xbox one is $19.99 pc is $29.99 [editline]06:00PM[/editline] why not just get both :downs:

rape her

Team fortress specific comparisions. Growing community v. Dying community 32 maps v. 6 maps 10 game modes v. 2 game modes 77 weapons v. 25 weapons 66 hats v. 9 hats Custom maps v. Official maps only 364 achievements v. 17 Achievements Including the other games, pc version has better controls, grants access to hundreds of mods, and gets updated on a regular basis. HL2 +HL2:EP1 have also both been upgraded to the HL2:EP2 engine.

Ask her whys shes playing games, and not making you a sandvich :P lol but seriously tell her pc has mods and is not as buggy

Generally better to play, bigger community, more features and continuous updates, Xbox players are still sitting around on most of the core game.

Let her get what she wants. Don't say "BUT IT SUCKS ON THE X-BOX 360." If she wants to get it for the X-Box, let her. But if you're that bent on convincing her, let her play your copy.

[QUOTE=Legend286;24529123]There aren't any hats on the console versions.[/QUOTE] I'm including the default hat, one for each class.

Have her play TF2 on PC for 2 hours, and the have her play it on Xbox 360. [editline]08:05PM[/editline] [QUOTE=howling techie;24529414]I'm including the default hat, one for each class.[/QUOTE] Not every class has a hat :geno:

Tell her that TF2 has a female character - the Pyro, who is such an extreme feminist that she burns all the men alive.

[QUOTE=howling techie;24527565]HL2 +HL2:EP1 have also both been upgraded to the HL2:EP2 engine.[/QUOTE] Actually, the Xbox 360 versions of HL2 and Episode 1 used the Orange Box engine if my memory is correct. Still, the OP should get the PC version. Funny thing was that recently, I saw a message on my 360 dashboard mentioning a "community playdate" for TF2. It also suprises me that sites like [url]http://www.tf2xc.com/[/url] and [url]http://tf2xbox.blogspot.com/[/url] exist. These sites even use images of the PC version with unlockable weapons visible!

Punch her then steal her money. That'll teach her to mess with the master race.

Mods = Free games.

Best way is to let her buy it for Xbox so she can regret her decision, pawn it, and get the PC one.

We don't need any more female tf2 players on PC, make her get it for xbox

Oh by the way, she's getting it mainly for the Half-Life trilogy. So I'm afraid arguments for TF2 are null and void :frown:.

Then it all boils down to control preference. If she prefers a controller over a mouse and keyboard, then she should get it.

mods, like smod, same story more guns more enemies. Its my kinda party right there. also, NH2, minerva meta stasis, and many others. With hl2 trilogy on pc, Your getting more then 100 games for that 30 dollars.

You said "she" correct? Well if she's "YEAH, I'M A GIRL GAMER BOYS DEAL WITH IT IM A CHICK! ^_^" type of girl, tell her to get it on xbox because we definitely need less of those
