"Why are you all whining?"

I won't go into that, there are a dozen other topics in which our opinion has been made crystal clear.

"Did you ever think that maybe most types of games would be better off on a console?"

The only real "advantages" of consoles is the controller, which can work for computers as well via USB port.

"Games for consoles RARELY lag and you don't have to worry about it having the items needed to run said game. "

My computer is just a normal, work computer and it plays next-gen games (ones that were kindly released for PC) without a hint of lag with only one exception and that exception is with a Mod that allows hundreds more units than the regular 16. I don't need to worry about "the items needed to run said game"

"Yes the PC has advantages but not as much as a console."

Think again. EVERY game that I have for computer that has a console version had been better for computer than console. Every game, FPS, RTS, RPG that I have played for both has been better for computer in graphics, additional options, additional features, etc.

"Now that consoles are getting the ability to connect to the internet they are basically smaller cheaper PCs."

Everyone has a PC, most people have high-speed internet, games for PC cost $20-50 while console games are $30-70, PC games can be modified, added to, changed, etc. PCs usually have 64 multiplayer. Consoles usually have 32.

"Now FPS games can work on both a console AND the PC, but I DO think that RTS games are better off on the PC."

FPS on computer is usually better than on consoles once you get used to the controls. RTS games are becoming console exclusive (how dumb is that?) even though, as you said, they are better for the PC (MADE for the PC)

Computers have TERABYTES now. 1000 gb of hard drive space. It would take some effort to fill that up now wouldn't it? Consoles may be cool but PCs can put them to shame.

When I first got wind of the WII I thought, IMMEDIATELY, about how fun an FPS would be on such an interactive system. The WII comes out and there are only a handful of FPS games out. The PC is the base for EVERY console and every game that comes out for PC is generally better then the console version of the same game. PC games can be played with console control pads via USB hookup. I have a very hard time believing that Fracture is only playable on 360 and PS3 because they are superior. There is NO way that they can best a decent gaming computer. PC and WII are more popular and profitable anyway. TFU is coming out on the DS!!! How can that be better than a gaming computer??!!? And how is Fracture more demanding graphically or whatever else than TFU? Lucas Arts will die if they follow this path.

Also i could upgrade my pc every year if i wanted to but i dont i only use my pc for school

I agree, building your own computer is not only cheaper, but you know the exact capabilities of your system. And as far as LA going downhill, you are absolutely right. there more recent games SUCK!

wow i don't know why everyone is getting so butthurt come on i play my pc as much if not more than my console and i have the console and pc version of every LA game i can get and the console plays better hands down its easier to play the graphics are a **** lot better (i have the best alienware computer money can buy) and just overall cheaper i spent 12000 dollars on my comp and i got better quality from a 500 dollar consol and 3000 dollar tv so i say consol all the way. the comp has amazing graphics too its just i like the consol better

I won't step into the "Console is better! No! PC!" bickering, but apparently...


From LucasArt's website.
Yeah sure. I'd really like to hear what are these mysterious technologies. There's nothing a PS3 or an Xbox 360 can do than a decent computer can't. I wonder if Sony and Microsoft are paying LucasArts humongous amounts to make their games exclusive to their consoles? Because PC gaming is really a huge market.

advertising has taken you my friend. yes, it would be nice to have those things, but ive played mainy games on your average year 2000 TV set with a basic sound hook up and have fully enjoyed my games.

i guess i dont come from a modern family. yes, when i graduate from college, i'll probly get nice a HDTV for my xbox360 and surround sound, but my parents would NEVER buy any of that so i could play games all day. im not sure how many other kids have their parents buy stuff like this, but im sure its quite alot. their answer is always you dont need it, which is true. i can see, i can hear, do i reall yneed an enourmous HDTV to see every scratch on a guy's armour or the sound of flies in my ear's when i play war games? not really

Well, gaming isn't cheap hobby whether it's on the console or PC. You can spend 500+ on a 360 elite/PS3 whatever, great, but you also need to have a nice HDTV/monitor to enjoy high def grahpics, a nice high quality receiver+speaker system for truHD sound and audio... not to mention console games have a $60 price tag.

Lucky, my parents dont even give an allowance nor a damn to me.

I was thinking, -oh wait- nvm
