Why I Feel That Console Gaming Is Better Then Pc

[Mik3ll]

I say PC is better, you can get emulators and play console games on your computer instead of spending more money on games.

See, you&#39;re a moron... You cannot make an intelligable comment... Stop blaming the controllers, that&#39;s the biggest exscuse you console-haters come up with... Do you own any consoles? You get used to the controls... If you can&#39;t then you have carpal tunnel syndrome... You can buy the smaller Xbox S Controller, or get the the Triscenian Chaos adapter which allows you to use PS2 or Dreamcast Controllers... The default controllers for Xbox are awesome, I got used to them the second I touched them. And Halo is not the only good game.


Splinter Cell
Silent Hill 2
Hitman 2
Shenmue
Dead To Rights
Fatal Frame

etc.

And by the way, when you play on a 150cm screen, nothing beats those graphics. Ign even gave Halo on PC lower points for graphics then the Xbox version.

The main reason I play games is because it acts as an interactive movie. I like games because of the storyline and fun... I can&#39;t stand playing games with no storyline against other people.

Edit: Sorry Stonecold&#33; Not you&#33; I&#39;m talking about JoeyIpod, who&#39;s trying to make himself feel good by bashing consoles because he doesn&#39;t have one and will never be able to play revolutionary games the way they should be played&#33;

i&#39;ll tell you right now. take your own advice you fuckin moron. IGN gave halo lower graphical pionts because they did not improve the graphics for PC. they only got as good as they do on the X-Box cause bungee was cheap and didn&#39;t want the hassel of going all through coding and on. if they did then it would have been a completely diffrent story. and you sayin a good Gaming PC cant compare to console gaming cause of price? well i got a P4 2.4 533MHz FSB PC with 1 gig DDR RAM a 9800 XT a 80 gig HDD a CD-RW and DVD-ROM for &#036;1000. not to mention i&#39;ll have graphics on this PC you wont see surpassed till the next gen consoles roll out in 2 years. not to mention that extra programming and all kinds of features having to be turned down on the upcoming titles like Doom 3 and HL2 (whenever the fuck its out) for the X-Box cause it cant handle them power wise. as far as controllers go. yes Console controllers fair well "somtimes" given the devs put effort into them. other then that i prefer a mouse for more control. just about anyone who has a little expierence would own anybody on a console controller in an Online match in Halo. also count your consoles all for its original retail. the ps2 was 300 and so was the X-Box and the dreamcast well its so old just count it as 50 dollars. now add that oh so impressive 70+ inch TV (he must like man dick cause when he watches porn he likes to see it as detailed as possible) then any sound system? now add any online charges for X-Box live or the Online Adapter for the Ps2 then monthly internet cost. how much is that? not only that but a TV&#39;s res is limited so everything wont be as detailed which is good cause most consoles aren&#39;t ment to go any higher on res or they loose FPS. unlike most PC&#39;s which can go way beyond a TV&#39;s res. before you say i hate consoles oh so much i do own a Ps2 and play it somewhat often. i only reply cause you talk out of your ass and you act like a console is a god send spoutin off your mouth rather quick. their are some good games coming out for the Ps2 and one im eagerly anticipating is Killzone and second would be MGS3 a few others but not to important to list. but what about Doom 3 which is coming to PC first? or HL2? for Far Cry which i think is PC only. same with Deus Ex 2: IW? and Medal Of Honor Pacific Assualt? thats a PC Exclusive. the devs are making Rising Sun for consoles but its short and nowhere near as advance as PA. for one PA has way better graphics. second it has the new Havok 2.0 engine. that and the facial movements are detail are almost exactly like HL2. while if you watch a trailer for RS you&#39;d laugh at it after watching the PA Trailer.

I don&#39;t know what you are on about with the Halo graphics part.
1. It was done by Gearbox (of Opposing Force fame)
2. They let you put the game into Higher Resolution (up to 1600x200)


The thing about a lot of console gamers is they only compare the console games, and the console games ported to PC. PC versions getting lower scores (not becuase of crap ports) getting lower scores says to me that PC gamers have higher standards of games.

I finished Halo and Hitman 2 fine without a mouse...Just takes a little getting used to.

Exactly what everyone says, you had to get used to the controller.

[Vamp]

When someone first plays a PC game with a keyboard and mouse, you have to get used to that as well...

There&#39;s no point whatsoever in getting emulators for PC&#39;s because then you have to spend double the price of the console getting the PC upgraded enough so it can actually run Xbox, GC or PS2 roms... Whereas you can just get a chip and play those games for nothing.

omfg roflmfao, First it was "My consoles better than your&#39;s" and has now evolved into "My PC&#39;s better than your console"&#33;?

They&#39;re 2 totaly different types of machine, comparing a console to a PC is like comparing a painting to music, they can both give a person some form of enjoyment but are 2 totaly different form&#39;s of entertainment.

A console is designed mainly as a games machine, hence why games mostly tend to play better on a console, whereas a PC is more of a multimedia platform where game playing isn&#39;t it&#39;s only capabilities hence why PC games require higher and higher spec&#39;s and resources in order to keep up with the latest technology and make them run faster and better.

Besides, one person&#39;s views on which is better will alway&#39;s be different to another so there&#39;s not much point in saying "My consoles better than your PC" or anything like that as it doesn&#39;t matter to anyone but yourself really and the fact that you believe your console&#39;s better than a PC is all that should matter to you.

One last thing, "500GB HD"? WTF? I&#39;ve not heard anything about 500GB HD&#39;s, you sure that size is right? If so, where did he get it from and how much did he pay for that? lol (I&#39;d imagine a few hundred £&#39;s&#33;&#33; lol)

Everybody thinks everbody elses concole is better. lol j/k

[Mr. Peabody]

Not sure how one could compare a console to a PC.
I&#39;ll stick with my PC,tried playing Fps on PS2 and X-box-guess what the controls
suck&#33;
As for game quality I played my share of shit-bag titles on consoles to,
it&#39;s just a mater of taken a few minutes to look for a online review.

Also you want to play on a bigscreen,you get a card w/tv out.

I once seen a 500gb HD and CPU made from a Triscit,tinfoil and a piece of gum.
Oh that might have been on Macgyver.

[Triadcool]

I also will always stick with my computer&#33;

No, it&#39;s actually 538 GB, a little more then half a terrabyte.

2 hard-drives that around 216 or so gigs each...Scuzzy or stretch or some type of new technology... Cost 5999 Rand, around 585 USD

What do you prefer? Consoles or PC?

[joeyipod]

Holy shit vamp why make this stupid post,

Notice how 3/4 of the ppl that have argued say PC is better get over it they will always be better then the Shit-Box also PC has 1000s more games then x-box. 1 game made x-box famous WHICH is on PC so just take it PC&#39;s are better&#33;&#33;

HA

[Vamp]

Perhaps you&#39;ve noticed that 3/4 of people only say PC&#39;s are better because

1) Their hands are too deformed to be able to handle a controller

2) They don&#39;t own any consoles

All the console supporters make better points as to why consoles are better...

And we aren&#39;t only talking about Xbox...PS2, Dreamcast and Gamecube as well which have produced the most original games ever played, unlike the 3 types of games you get on PC, FPS, 3RD Person Action/Adventure and RTS

Consoles are built specifically for gaming and therefore have more original games... PS2 releases more games a year then PC.

We&#39;ll see how you feel about consoles when your PC is stuttering with Halo 2 and Splinter Cell 2, while us console lovers wont have to worry about performance issues.
