The Ultimate Platform War Thread

[Vamp]

Ok... lets keep this a nice clean thread, don't insult other posters, if you disagree with them, do so in a conversing fashion. I've worked out the Pro's and Cons between each

PC: Pros

More game availibility
More solid atmosphere then consoles
Fun to upgrade
lots of options to tweak
Best for FPS's

Consoles: Pros

Most games that come out on PC come out on consoles
More portable
Easier to sit down and play without having to install
Just get a chip and you're open to thousands of different types of games
No system requirements
Games developed to make games play at optimum effiency
No worry about upgrades.
Can play on huge screen TVs
Keyboard and Mouse available

PC: Cons

Expensive
Clunky
Always have to upgrade
Have to install
Can get viruses
Have to get patches, updates etc
Needs to install games


Consoles: Cons

No options to tweak.
No resolution to change.
Controls take getting used to

Overall I think Consoles are betteR?

What do you think?

sometimes u can use the gamepad from a platform (like ps2 and plug it i the usb)
if the game supports it

also u can play your pc at a tv or a bigscreen if u've got a good tv-out link and so on

What do you think?

a MASSIVE pro for the pc is the constant avalability of MODs. i wod neva get max payne 2 for a consoul because on the pc i can get all the matrix, unltra slow-mo, kung fo 4 etc etc and the fact that chipping is dangerous where as wiv bittorent everygame ever made (with in reason) is ablable free)

starcraft was rly hard to play on the n64 but easy on the pc.

online play ok u cna do it now but its not as good and as many ppl and pc.

i mean GTA:VC is gd but with the added mod for mp its amazing and adds much more vllue to the game.

EDIT: and for god's sake £30 for a bloody memory card i mean wtf!!!
and the memry card is like 8mb where al for £40 you could buy a 40gb hard drive.

2nd EDIT:mouse + keyboard is much better than control. AND just to add to all that pc versions all ways either gain more or hav better graphics ie max payne 2=mods, vice city=mp3 player and character changer and mods

PC's easly beat consoles

No options to tweak.

Why do you want to tweak them anyway?

No resolution to change.

True, some games let you make it widescreen..(vice city)

Controls take getting used to

Ps2 controls are the best and easiest....alot easier then using the keyboard for every pc game that has different controls/keys.

Get a bigger screen

How big can u get a pc screen? without paying 3k?
I played gran turismo once on the living room tv, fucked the image up though..

You cant get 80" Monitors like my TV&#33;
