No. GTFO..

Nah but really the convo is about the fact they make games for xbox & ps3 and then port them to PC.. So ultimately the games are designed to run with sub par graphics according to todays standards..

Not even todays, more like 4? 5? 6? generations of hardware ago standard.

Wow, you guys are seriously arguing about PC vs Console?

Really?

Seems to be more like pure-geek vs semi-geek argument. Even if you win, you still lose.

Well we are in the geek section of the forums, so stands to reason there is such a debate! :D

This!

I'll throw this little nugget in..

Do you really think that half the games that come out multi-platform would have the budget/be of as good quality if they were PC only?

Of course there will always be exceptions (valve for one), but I like to think that the popularity of consoles has on the whole been good for PC gaming.

I've seen my mate play black ops on the computer. Makes you look like a fkn retard trying to play. I can't do it. And your fingers would be f**ked after an hour. Controller is much easier. also I like to play on a 50 inch tv and not a monitor :D

Pfft shooters are awesome on console. Basically the main type of games I play.

I just love the fact you can play a console with a room full of people, having some drinks, talking, listening to music and whatever and have fun.

You can' do that with a PC.

No shit PC's are great. They are basically an upgradable console (or a console is simply an outdated PC). That aint the point. It's the fact you can't play it in a lounge room on a 52" TV and have 30 people in the room (and if you have converted a PC to do that, well you basically have a console you knob).

As much as I used to play a lot of PC games I just don't ejoy them any more as I get older. Laying on a couch in the lounge room is my style.

Heaps of dudes ditching PS3 for Xbox, lol.

According to Retailers, Perturbed PS3 Owners are Ditching the Platform, Migrating to 360

Drew Cohen — They're sick of waiting. And now some are crossing over to the other side.

According to a report in EDGE Magazine, retailers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe are claiming a dramatic increase in the number of customers trading-in PS3 units—either for cash, or, in many instances, toward the purchase of an Xbox 360.

One source in Belgium told the magazine that "just ten days into the month and already we have an increase of 200 per cent in PS3s coming into the store compared to all of March. Normally we sell them really fast, but not this time. We've only sold 30 to 40 per cent of our inventory right now."

Another retailer speaking to the magazine classified those gamers most put-off by the PSN outage—and thus most willing to defect to the competition—as those involved in the "the hardcore online shooter crowd." Unsurprisingly, there are corresponding reports of mass trade-ins of PS3 copies of titles like Call Of Duty: Black Ops and FIFA Soccer 11, as well as cancellations of pre-orders for Brink—all which rely upon their online component as elements of crucial interest.

These customers might represent only a very extreme (and easily perturbed) portion of Sony's consumer base. But that oughtn't be grounds for assurance—these customers could also be the hardest for the company to win back.

All these "hardcore" PC guys always talk about using a mouse.

Because its the best! :yes:

I don't see how you can aim properly without a mouse...

I play all my games on my PC with a Xbox 360 controller except FPS game, which is keyboard + mouse.

Or do you simply have a HTPC that can't do 90% of the things a HTPC should? It's a strange way to look at it. A HTPC filling the same role would do all those things except be your friend and keep the drinks cold. Unless it was built in a Companion cube and you wanted hot drinks. Then it can do everything.

A console is a 1-2 purpose PC, there's no getting around that, it is the same albeit much older hardware with a different interface. That's it.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
