1. We have broadband haha!
2. We can mod our stuff and not expect Microsoft to jack us, HAHA!

all I have to say is

poor x box people (some games wont even work with the un mod'd consoles)

**goes back to playing Dark Age of Camelot**

Your jealousy is so transparent.

K2 · 11-20-2002, 06:27 PM

muah... thats good

3. we don't need mod chips to play those illegal games... not like i do that kind of stuff

... but we do need to spend hundreds of money on cpu and vid cards... which is even harder when u dont' have that kind of money.

i think i'll shut up now

When someone makes a console-gamepad first person shooter that handles as quick and responsive as does the PC with a keyboard, I'll *think about* picking one up.

Metroid Prime?

Open your mind, Blitz, and play both consoles AND PC games.

i thought xbox was exclusively broadband and sony was using both. nintendo is also planning to release both a broadband adaptor and a modem.

Blitz · 11-20-2002, 10:42 PM

You console people....**sigh** when will you ever learn. Not shooter on any console will ever beat playing Counter strike on PC

The only game mind you that I would consider to play on console is LoTR: two towers...but other wise I would rather stick with Shadowbane and Counter-strike, what could be better?

**starts up counter-strike again**

BAH! Your living in a closed world my friend! It's a new age where true gamers play all things video game. There's no playing just the PC or just the home unit. You play both! Why? MORE GAMES TO PLAY! Gaming 24/7! BOO YEAH! PC is great for FPS and RTS, console is great for adventure and RPG. But tech has come along way and we are starting to see that both PC and console can hold up the same. Heck with the way things are going for consoles you can expect them to have their day above the PC once agian.

Bottom line here folks is that if your going to game, you have to game it all. Go where the game is. Warcraft III hits the PC - have to go play it on the PC. Metroid Prime hits Game Cube - got to go play some cube man! PS2 gets another Final Fantasy game - got to go play some PS2. You go where the game is plain and simple. There is no PC vs Console anymore. It's all about the games!

"Give me game or give me death!"
"All the world is a video game, and all the men and women mearly my solders for resourse gathering."
"To Game or not to game, that is the question...TO GAME!"
"Just game it! Nothing else matters."
"It's all good so game on man, game on!"

did you write this up on a console? because you know pc's have spell check

by the way, title typos SUCK

Blitz · 11-21-2002, 11:17 AM

Hehe, no I just dont like to check the spelin on everythin tat i right if u know wat I mean

Oh yea, I would play consoles more often, but there like macs...when something doesnt work, you get a new one. When something needs updrages, you throw out the old, and buy a new one.....gues that could be a reason why macs stink too

Jihforce · 11-21-2002, 12:25 PM

personally i go thru phases. Used to play my good old PSX a lot and hardly touch the PC. But for the past 3 years, I've been playing on my PC instead and haven't bothered to upgrade my console.
But I'm getting an xbox real soon

kimchicowboy · 11-23-2002, 11:59 PM

my hands are a little small for the xbox controller too. my mouse and keyboard fit well. hehe.

xsiled2 · 11-24-2002, 12:03 AM

halo and time splitters 2 are way better then any PC first person.

edit: stop whining about the xbox controllers and get the S version.

seqiro · 11-24-2002, 12:35 AM

All I know is I was having a blast the past two days playing Mechassault on XBOX live, fully broadband.

And personally I applaud Microsoft banning modded consoles from XBOX Live, not because I give a damn about pirating software but because it helps keeps CHEATERS off the service. Cheating in single player is fine, but cheating in multiplayer ruins it for everyone.

I game on XBOX, PC, PS2, whatever else I can get my grubby hands on.

I'll vote for PC over Console any time of the year.
1. Computer games can be downloaded of the net ($$)
2. Comps can be upgraded
3. Easy Multiplayer (over internet), although u need broadband to enjoy it.
4. Great games (lot less $$ than console games), Half-Life, Starcraft, Warcraft3 and all the new ones too.
5. 5.1 Sound with sound card of course, great graphics, a decent video card couples with a good LCD monitor.
6. Dont need memory cards and stuff.
7. Console ppl are making SO MUCH money out of their products (games and consoles). They r practically stealing $$.
8. No Region problem, any game from anywhere in the world will play on a PC, unlike consoles.

And a lot lot more!

1.True, but its illegal.
2.So can consoles. (ie, PSOne to PS2, etc)For much less than upgrading a PC.
3.Now that the internet kits are out, everyone can enjoy it.
4.If you are stealing video games online, of course its cheaper.
5.Just buy a nice speaker system and you can have as much fun as on a PC. You don't need to spend 200 bucks for a video card or 1000 for a nice LCD monitor.
6.XBox has a built-in HD so that isn't really a big issue.
7.If you where a game developer, wouldn't you want to get paid too?
8.Sure, but how many countries are you going to taking your console to? If you're a gamer, chances are, you don't really go anywhere.

I'm a big time PC guy, but I have to say, if you skimp out one piece of hardware on a PC, your game will lag like crazy. I really don't feel the need to go out there and upgrade my computer every time I want to play a game. Don't have to deal with windows drivers, video drivers, incompatible video card, slow HD, etc...Consoles are less hassle. True plug and play.

I consider myself a pc gamer, but I also have an xbox. I can appreciate both. On pc i tend to play first person shooters and real time strategy. On xbox i tend to play racing and sports games. I think the pc does shooters and strategy much better than consoles and I think consoles do sports games much better than pc. Its mostly a matter of which genres you like best rather than which platform you prefer most.
