kaptain chump Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 seemingly the majority, correct me if im wrong, of the most anticipated games of the year are being ported over to the xbox. Instead of fooling around with tweaking my video card to play a certain game, on my xbox i just select the game and it works instantly :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/187073-console-or-pc/page/5/#findComment-584290024 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XavierHyde Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 PC all the way, at least since the SNES was discontinued. If I were to buy a new console, it had better be able to run Linux and be expandable to a complete computer, because I won't have a piece of kit that powerful to only play games/movies/music on via a relatively crappy output like a TV. No way. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/187073-console-or-pc/page/5/#findComment-584296245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

byakugan Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 up until recently i wouldn't bother with games unless they were on pc, pc version of console games are always cheaper too. recently i purchased an xbox and i have to admit, it is a lot more fun playing console games if you have a widescreen tv. my computer is also getting more and more outdated and can't handle games too well anymore. so im sticking with console for now but certain games such as first person shooters are so much easier with a keyboard and mouse.

mm_omega2 Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 both. good thing for console, to play multiplayer, one copy of the game, 4 people can play it. good thing for pc, sometimes better graphics, sometimes too complicated with tons of controls, keyboard/mouse combo good Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/187073-console-or-pc/page/5/#findComment-584364225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great_Wizard Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Definitely the PC! Though Consoles are still OK... :ninja: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/187073-console-or-pc/page/5/#findComment-584364387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Curl Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Has to be consoles for me, but probably the reason for that is that i'm using a 5-year old 500Mhz PC! Consoles are easier to use, set-up, and only require upgrading every ohh, 7 years? :laugh: Sports sims on console are unrivalled. The humble PC does have one of the greatest games in the world in my opinion however; Fallout 2! Yes, call me old skool (If you're that young anyway).

insurektion Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Everyone should get a modded XBOX. now I have SNES, NES, Playstation, DVD PLayer, DivX/Xvid player, MAME, NeoGeo, and modified (awesome) multiplayer HALO all in one box. Its really great. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/187073-console-or-pc/page/5/#findComment-584372527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 GET PS2, if you can't get a PS2 get A PC.

Forsakenlv05 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I prefer using PS2 or even gameboy the original then playing on a PC, for some reason i cant get into alot of games on my computer. I even tried emulators on the comp for some games for consoles, and well, it wasnt the same lol! i guess i was raised more on consoles then the comp and so prefer it that way now. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/187073-console-or-pc/page/5/#findComment-584450485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosmarines63 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 PC its definately more versatile, and when used properly, the graphics can blow consoles out of the water.
