Yata 161 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Both new console generations still wont be as good as a PC is currently.Don't know why people bother with consoles in general, the top end of gaming seems to suffer because of the limitations of having to develop games for the console as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(wont stop game freeze or crash dumps though) just when the console freezes and this will also speed up the reading of RAM as well which will speed the game up and cut loading times as an added bonus.

rossDas 1,071 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'll wait until the prices come down and see what they've got to offer; avoids any teething problems too. If Microsoft go with this rumoured 'always online' thing then that puts Sony in the driver's seat as far as my interest goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iakona 2,261 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Console's cost £200, Decent spec PC to last a few years £800Consoles only costs around £200 a few years after release... but to humor you!Combine the cost of your console and the laptop/PC that you're posting from and you'll find it cost more than a mid range gaming PC. Not to mention the fact that PC games are cheaper than their console counterparts, so the initial outlay is quickly recouped.PC gaming does not require the commitment or the cost that people think it does.

FlippinEck 3,708 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Dont forget you know a game is going to work on a console. It may be buggy on a pc or be completely incompatible and a lot of places dont take PC games back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimoo 1,474 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ive had the same PC for about 3 years now and plays every game Ive ever bought for it, the "you need to upgrade all the time" is a load of shit, you only need to keep upgrading if you want to play every game on maxed out settings, and yes I know you will need to upgrade at some point but it's the same with consoles you will need to upgrade to the latest console when it comes out, I have an XBOX and PC and it depends what type of game I'm playing, I find XBOX is better for games like GTA with PC for RTS games.With PC I like the fact people can makes addons or Mods for games whereas with the Consoles your locked to whatever the publishers put out and you will need to pay for it.The 1 big thing that puts me off consoles is there is no real social scene and the games lack soul, with games like CoD on the console you will go in to a server play the game then leave with a PC online FPS games you can pick your server and keep going and get to know other regulars on the server, join the clan/guild who run the server or join another clan and play proper clan matches, in general the clan if it is half decent will have a website and Mumble or teamspeak, consoles can't do this and I've seen clans on console but they don't really seem to have any real organisation and until the consoles can get this sorted then they will always lag behind PC's.
