Jadaki 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 If you grew up playing more console games than PC games then you tend to sway toward the console controller and vice versa.I'm going to disagree, since I grew up playing console games since the early 80's and never had a gaming pc until the late 90's.

I was never one to have really great computers. And to me it is just easier and cheaper, though it might not be, to just play on a console compared to a computer. Not too mention I am not the greatest when it comes to computers so if something went wrong I would need to rely on people or paying for it to be fixed rather than fix it myself.

One person who played PC games longer likes the PC controllers where as the person who has played console games longer likes the console controls better.Conclusion: There is no right or wrong. It is all personal preference. There is no facts involved in the statement "WASD/Mouse > any console controller when it comes to FPS gaming." Link to post Share on other sites

My suggestion, buy a 360 with the $180. Link to post Share on other sites

I think were both in the same boat. Link to post Share on other sites
byaaatch 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 pretty excited found a place by my house that is selling UFC Undisputed before the midnight release. Should be getting it in about an hour and playing in a hour and half. Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 why the HELL do none of you play TF2 on the PC?seriously.valve is the shit: because I already own it on the Orange Box for the 360 Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I tried it and realized I would rather chop my head off. I have been playing hardened and that is crazy too. As for shooting should really check out the training. It is a bit long but it does help. Can't wait game gets released in less that 14 hours.After the incessant cussing that incurred when I played through veteran on Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 I think I will wait before I tackle this one.Also, you guys can add my 360 to the grave yard. 16 month old Elite and it red rings on me. Thank god for my brother moving in with me and bringing his 360 with him. However it sucks balls nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
Speed Limit 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 You guys are starting to make me freak about my 360. It's a launch system (dear lord) still hasn't red ringed yet. Went to the store with my friend when were both super stoked about it, picked up two machines, one right next to the other. His has already died, maybe a year ago or so. It worries me because mine has been giving a dirty disc error a lot to random games and discs that are perfectly fine. Maybe, by some miracle, I escaped with an OK one. Part of me wants it to die anyway, I want an elite, and currently am still rocking that 20GB hard drive, which is really more like 7GB. Link to post Share on other sites
Piddle Duck 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 My 360 should be back tomorrow which means I was without it for 13 days. Not too bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Naked_Cowboy 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 mine got shipped yesterday. they replaced it with another pro despite it being 3+ years old. it'll have been gone 10 days total.those of you thinking you're out of luck with RROD, go and enter your serial on microsofts website. there's a great chance that if you actually have the 3 red light ring your repair / replacement is free.i realize it's less common with the wii, but my friends wii died and it was over 100 to repair Link to post Share on other sites

I was playing Rock Band 2 and in the middle of making a setlist I heard a beep from the 360 and the system froze. I hit the power button and the red ring showed up.which, as far as I know, still doesn't have the medic update due to size limitations...they've already tweaked the medic, heavy, scout, pyro, and sniper on the PCI'm okay with people preferring one style of play to another. I'm just pissed that I'm the odd man in the only online community I enjoy frequenting.I just find it cheaper to game on a console. My brother is one of those people who wouldn't think twice about throwing $2K for a gaming computer. My line of thinking is that the $2K can buy me a 360, PS3, Wii, etc. and also afford me a hell of a game library with accessories...and still have money left over to make a mortgage payment or two.

Console gaming makes much better sense for my pocketbook and my well being. My wife sees me updating or buying new computers every 9 months to be able to play games and she would not be pleased. Buying a console (for much less than a gaming computer) every 3-4 years doesn't bother her too much. Link to post Share on other sites

Buying a console (for much less than a gaming computer) every 3-4 years doesn't bother her too much.I have to agree here, plus given the fact that rumors are abound that the life cycle of the current gen systems are going to be longer than they have been previously. We're going into year 5 of the 360, when there was a 5 years cycle between the OG Xbox and the 360, and around 6 years between the PS2 and the PS3, and there is no slowdown in good games. Honestly, with the ability to knock out firmware bugs via online patches, and solid (or semi-solid in MS's case, but given their warranty options and their attempts to fix the problems) hardware in place, there really is no need.

My line of thinking is that the $2K can buy me a 360, PS3, Wii, etc. and also afford me a hell of a game library with accessories...and still have money left over to make a mortgage payment or two.Your math is horrible. Not to mention estimation of the lifespan of a gaming PC is way off.My PS3 = 500My 360 = 450My Wii = 250So that's 1200 just on consoles. Price of the gaming PC I just built late last year was just under 900. Nothing on it will be outdated for at least two years and even then I'll just be able to run a second video card that by the time will cost me another 100 dollars or less and it will be looking as good as what the PS4 or Xbox 720 will be doing and easily keep up with all current games for the next 4 years. Lets talk accessories...Extra Controller for PS 3 = 60Extra Controller for 360 = 503 extra Wii controllers + nunchucks = 180ishController and headset for PC, less than 50.Then we can talk games, the average new PS3 and 360 games are 60 a pop, PC games rarely come out for more than 50.Just to be clear: anyone paying 2k+ for a "gaming" pc, is probably retarded.
