Post by: Tupin on February 11, 2008, 05:16:59 PM
I play consoles more, most of the computer's I have ever used can't have more than one DVD based game on them without slowing down everything. -_-

I like point and clickers like Sam and Max, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox, Putt-Putt, Oregon Trail, and Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego.

PC all the way.  That's almost all I play games on anymore.  PC is more fitting for the kinds of games I play.  FPS, RTS, and such.  Not enough RPGs, but consoles are lacking those now, too.

Consoles only because I'm too poor to buy a nice computer and lack the knowledge to build my own.

Consoles. My computer is waaaaaaaaaay to slow to handle a game.

PCs are a hell of a lot better.

Mine sucks, though.

PC. Mods, custom maps, different graphics settings, and in some cases, PCs get games before consoles do, or that consoles just don't get.

PC, purely for the FPS.

You're forgetting a couple options.

Portable, Portable & Consoles, PC's & Consoles, PC's and Portable, or all three

Seeing as how the question is "Which do you play more: Consoles, or PC", I think all the options are there.

I recommend FPS for PCs, but consoles are everything else.
EDIT: And of course, RTS.

IMO, the PC is better for RTS or MMORPGs. But the console it better at everything else. Not to say they dont handle eachothers job well. I like a bit of crossbreed. ;)

Consoles, since you don't have to buy an upgrade every year or so to keep running games. At least, in general.
Title: Re: PCs or Consoles?
Post by: Hiei on February 11, 2008, 10:50:29 PM
Consoles, but my PC could run pretty much anything if I were to throw in another gig of RAM. Crysis and Assassin's Creed included.

Only if you have a liquid cooled system and are using SLi/Crossfire.

Considering the ratio of consoles to pc's in my room is 17:3... or 11:3 not counting portables.. I think I'll go with consoles.. >_>

Sims is the only game I have for the PC.. and it wasn't the most stable game I played.. consoles for me, through and through, no doubt.

oh jesus

As for me, I need a better graphics card and about another GB or so of RAM. Right now, the only way I can decently play Orange Box is in a window, in the lowest resolution possible, and on all low settings.

Consoles, mainly because my computer sucks. I can play most of the Orange Box games, though.

Well, I meet the recommended requirements (minus Assassin's Creed's 3GB of RAM...which I'm probably going to get 4GB anyways), but I don't have Crossfire.

a fully tricked out PC is better than any console.....but that usually costs thousands upon thousands of dollars and more to keep it up to date.....

so unless you got a custom gaming rig, consoles are the way to go.

Not always...my rig in total is probably about ~$700-800, but I can run most anything. It's when you start going into the uber 1920x1200 displays, SLi/Crossfire, and liquid cooling you reach the uber 2000 dollar machine.

I plan on looking into a monitor that size, but I'm not paying too much for a card to run it at that. I've seen 35 dollar cards that run at that size too.

Of course, they suck ass, but it's not for games.

Which is why you get one of those $10 USB controllers, so good :)

I LOVE Console games, but on the PC you have more freedom and multiplayer features.
