PC version or console version?

Edens_heel · 08-19-2009, 10:49 AM

Flying to Toronto for a friend's wedding in a couple of days, so I'm either taking my DS and FFIV, Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest V, or my PSP and Valkyrie Profile, Lumines (because it NEVER gets boring), and Jeanne D'arc.

Either that or forget 'em all and just take a stack of books with me... decisions, decisions...

BF: Bad Company is freaking awesome! I played that game so much, my disc stopped working.

I've been playing BF: 1943 instead and I'm waiting for Bad Company 2 now.

Well the advantage of the console is being able to lay on a couch and play for hours on a 52 inch tv...Finally beat Fallout last weekend

This is why I love console gaming. Also, you buy a new game, stick it in your console and play it instantly...no installation. You also don't have to worry about your console being the right spec to play a game.

I play all sorts of FB games now, but Farkle is very addictive. It's so much like a game I remember playing throughout my childhood with my family called Fill or Bust. We'd bring it on camping trips. It's the same thing, except with a deck of cards that told you what to do with the dice. Some gave you bonuses, some made you have to "fill" your dice with points... and some made every point you earned be negative, and you couldn't stop until you "farkled". I was awesome at those....

Mafia wars is fun. I'm getting a little bored with it though since I've gotten to a point where I don't need to check up on my businesses as often anymore.

pc can do this as well. you can hook a pc up to a tv including the large lcd tvs. HDMI cable would be the best for this. and get a wireless controller or a wireless keyboard and mouse.

I grew up with midwestern parents so we played a lot of card games and dice games. I remember farkle fondly during family reunions and stuff. Never played a card version though! I am totally addicted to farkle.

I would love mafia wars a lot more if health and stamina recovered a little faster. My brother got me into that game. I attacked my first hotel today and got like well over 1million

Well mine is about 8 years old so yeh, I have to worry about specs. I used to be able to play WoW on it but I gave up PC games last year. Now I'm all about the 360.

i play console too but i like pc gaming more because pcs are more powerful ( depending on the tech generation you go with) and have less limits and have better graphics.

Matt · 08-20-2009, 12:17 PM

I have to admit Crysis does look incredible. I wish they would release it for 360, albeit with a graphics downscale.

Fonzy · 08-20-2009, 03:05 PM

I recently found a classic game on the interweb, good ole C&C Red Alert, gave me a reason to stop playing with the PS3 for awhile and spend EVEN more time on the laptop

If anyone is interested here is the link for both of the game dices which are available free and legitimately to download!!!

PC Gaming is going down slowly with the rise of the PS3 and 360....two more generations and PC gaming may be obsolete.

The Orange Mage · 08-20-2009, 04:12 PM

PC will stay alive indefinitely, man. The console manufacturers aren't too keen on MMOs on their system (unless they're first party titles of course) and strategy games (both turn-based ala Civilization and real-time ala StarCraft) fare much better on PC. And then there's the first person shooter genre, which for them ost part will always be a PC-first type of thing.

The PC platform also has some very good things going for it...it is under the least control from the game makers, thus the barrier to entry in the game market for it is much lower than the consoles. That and almost everyone owns a PC!
