[QUOTE=Tools;26880679]One of his best arguments is "We now have HD TV's!", and I'm currently writing this message on my 40" Full HD TV while installing WoW on my HTPC running an i3 @ 3.33GHz which (last I checked) has more processing power (even graphical-wise) than the xbox 360 standing next to it. I also have a Chillxstream for games I want a controller for (and chilly hands.. mmmm cold air on hands) and even a G25 leather steering wheel for my driving games. My xbox 360 supports neither of these controllers due to "derp driver issues", so I don't see the big idea of why a small, affordable and compact drvice constantly has to be compared to a large, sometimes heavy-duty, and sometimes loud, home workstations. Also my HTPC cost the same as my xboox 360 did when it came out.[/QUOTE] :psyduck: [editline]22nd December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Swiket;26878604]New BBC video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuG1lCGBVko[/media][/QUOTE] Blackbuster said something about the PS3 dream come true
Starcraft 2 not game of the year material ? No it's game of the fucking decade material.
True that.
How about buy both, then buy all the games you want, if you can't afford it save up. PC's can last as long as you want as long as you don't play everygame on MAX SETTINGS!!!

[QUOTE=Matrix374;26880878]:psyduck:[/QUOTE] Blah blah my opinion is right because I owe both blah. Ignore me, I had a "one-is-better-because-of-X" nerd rage moment
I say to settle this PC vs Console debate, we go old school. Have matches between PC and Console players on UT99/2k4 and watch Console get dominated.
[QUOTE=Matrix374;26881404]i dont see why starcraft 2 is very exciting[/QUOTE] You clearly aren't into esports then.
[QUOTE=Matrix374;26881404]i dont see why starcraft 2 is very exciting[/QUOTE] I would also like some clarification on this. I can see why the strategizing would be fun, but I can never get passed all the micromanagement and rediculous speed required to play the game.

There is no winner. Both have their positives and negatives. They are different and should be enjoyed together. Jeez why is this concept so hard to grasp.
Because there will always be arguments within an art form about the best way it should be viewed or read or what ever. Since games are pretty much a very young art form people will argue about the best way they can be portrayed.
Yeah because 1080p monitors don't exist :downs:
I stopped watching when he said BLIZZARD WAS THE ONLY GOOD PC DEV, IS HE FUCKING RETARDED? VALVE RELIC HUNDEREDS OF INDIE STUDIOS ffs
Its funny because when I was 12 I said the same retarded things about pc as these guys to my cousin. I now have a pc and I now know how wrong I was.
[QUOTE=kukiric;26866754]Haha HDTVs. Most console games don't even reach 1080p, that's one of the reasons I use my 40" TV as my computer's monitor, instead of wasting it's full HD goodness with the 360.[/QUOTE] All console gameplay that I have seen, including Halo Reach. Only got 720p.
I love how they remove negative comments look in their channel now only comments that's left is hate against bbc, it's like having a argue with a over religious person.
Didn't Crytek even say that developers have stopped developing for PC for no reason?
[QUOTE=redBadger;26885023]Didn't Crytek even say that developers have stopped developing for PC for no reason?[/QUOTE] I think they said something like that. I know they said that if that consoles were holding PC gaming back with multiplatform titles. Or something
[QUOTE=Civil;26883769]All console gameplay that I have seen, including Halo Reach. Only got 720p.[/QUOTE] Most console games run at 600p to just under 720p which is then upscaled to 1080p, for example Reach runs at 1152x720 and Cod: Black Ops runs at 1040x608.
[QUOTE=Dwragon82997;26872087]Don't have the time? It takes a fucking hour to build one. If you have the time to play a video game on a console, you obviously have the time. [editline]21st December 2010[/editline] I know all console gamers aren't fuck tards but I sure do know that you are one.

This parts just venting now "Computer is more expensive" Uhmm no. CONSOLE: HDTV - 800-2000$ Console - 300$ Controllers - 50-200$ HDMI - 10$ (Most retards buy them for 100$ though) XBL - 60$ Game - 60$ Price of a PC that can max most current games - 800 - 1200$.* (Including Monitor, Speakers, Mice, Keyboards, Tower, etc.) Online - Free Games - Start anywhere from 5-50$ (Rarely 60) Yea it's almost comparable.[/QUOTE] Actually, an 32" HDTV is about $200-300. If you want a smaller one, they're under $150. Console games aren't necessarily $60 if you want to shop online. And controllers are about $30.
console gaming is obviously better
[QUOTE=Ermac20;26886107]console gaming is obviously better[/QUOTE] Care to elaborate on your opinion?
the controls are easier in my opinion
[QUOTE=Ermac20;26886737]the controls are easier in my opinion[/QUOTE] I thought that about the console until I started using the keyboard.
[QUOTE=Ermac20;26886737]the controls are easier in my opinion[/QUOTE] I disagree but that is your opinion.
[QUOTE=Ermac20;26886737]the controls are easier in my opinion[/QUOTE] The controls have nothing to do with whether console systems are better, you could easily use the controllers on a computer, and a mouse and keyboard on consoles. This whole argument over how the controls are easier is invalid, due to the fact that different people find different things easier. I ,for example, prefer a mouse and keyboard.
The argument "You need to upgrade your PC for newer games or they will run like crap!" is invalid as a reason to buy a console. Yes, you may not be able to run the game at the highest graphics settings, but it would [i]still[/i] look better than the console equivalent. Until a new console gets released, any game on your PC should always look/play better. The one tecnhnological advantage consoles have, is that the games can can be performance-tuned really well, since the hardware is fixed.
BBC utterly demolished them.
