XBOX, PS3 or Graphics Card? - Page 5

PS3 FTW!

I can't live without PS Store. Quite a lot of cool contents to download and buy. Simple games like Star Strike HD (RM25), Rag Doll Kung Fu (free!) are quite addictive and fun!

Wii is a family console, not really a gaming console for hardcore gamers. Definitely won't suit you.

Totally agree! Which is why I've put off the main quest for so long!

Yeah. I think after I beat the main quest (to go into Broken Steel), I only had very few places left on the map that I haven't discovered yet.

That also sucked when Broken Steel came out because I was already a level 20 for a LONG time already. But since Broken Steel, I played the Pitt and Point Lookout and now I've maxed out to level 30...

Yeah. My Wii has been gathering dust. In fact, I just disconnected it (but left the console out since I'm too lazy to put it back in the box).

PSN truly is versatile. I actually use it as opposed to XBL Marketplace. I think the only XBL game I have is the one they gave for free a while back. Though I am kinda considering another one I saw in E3. The games on PSN are a lot better. That and you can get some of the classics and play it on your PSP/PS3 as well (playing KoF 99 and Crash Bandicoot on the go right now haha)...

Graphic Cards !!!!!!!!!!
PS3 will never beat pc's graphic cards nowadays...
Common sense proofs it all...
When was PS3 launched? End of year 2006..
Certainly, PS3 are using 2006's latest graphics technology...
Can it beat the likes of GTX295 or HD5870, a 2009's graphics technology..

Very true, but then you are missing out a lot of very nice games on X360 and PS3. Some games are cross platforms, I still have a PC to play those games.

Totally agree. With the rapid improvement in 3D cards, it makes more sense to stick with the PC... if you can afford the upgrades!

If you only think graphics is what makes a game great, then I would agree with you, but that's really not the case.

PsYkHoTiK · 29th Sep 2009, 09:11 AM

It's not to say stuff on consoles are slouches either (well except for the console that kinda rhymes with "Pee"). There are PS3 games that have absolutely stunning graphics. The upcoming Uncharted 2 (I'll verify it when I get it in a ~ 2 weeks) seems to be absolutely beautiful. Gran Turismo as always is nice, MGS4. These games are also console exclusive. Which is why I have a nice rig for my PC games, but consoles for my console games. Depending on genre of game, multiplatform games are always PC for me (they're usually cheaper than the console versions too LOL). Like Fallout 3, I got for PC. But other games (like third person games), I prefer console (like Batman Arkham Asylum). RPGs and RTS' will forever be PC games for me though. Shooters will be PC preference (but then there's Halo, Killzone, Resistance, et al thats console only).

Yeah, GT5P and MGS4 are graphically stunning games. I played Batman on PC for 'some' reasons.

There's no single game on PC that matches the 2 games, especially GT5P.

Get all 3 if you have moola!!!
