Any person who claims to be a gamer and likes RPG is high on crack if they think PC's offer better titles RPG wise.

fallout >final f. or fable or most others

I refuse to play FPS games on Ps2 And Xbox becuase I am way faster with a keyboard and mouse then a controller. That and the games are smoother and play better especially in a real multiplayer invornment.

the KB/mouse has a lack of motion where on the other had the xbox controller is easy to controlle

And if your a fan of fighting games good luck with your PC. You'll probably never play Tekken or Soul Calibur. And it's truly a shame your missing out on all the great games you have missed out on becuase you think the console market has nothing to offer you.

by missing Tekken and soul calibur they are lucky. but like you said "if your a fan of fighting games" im not in to Fighting games.

Unlike Most, I've found other uses for my PC. Getting it to render some game, and having it look as if there is some form of rendering problem, with great hardware; compared to a console with perfect specs is not my thing.

I sometimes don't see how people argue that a keyboard/mouse has better control than a console's native controller. It really doesn't make much sense.

Neowinians will be Neowinians... :huh:

i just real lies this, if you have a console you could just buy a console keybord and a PC gamer can buy a contoller/joystick.

who agree with me that PC and Console combo is better then just PC or Just console.

I haven't owned a console since the original playstation debuted.  I'm NOT a console gamer, 90% of the best and most influential games ever have come out on computer.

Consoles are mainly for the people that dont want to bother with the technical knowhow of computers, they want something they can just drop in and play.

Any game thats worth its salt that has come out on the console, ALWAYS comes out on PC, but not visa-versa.

What he said. And about the fanboy part, yes I'm a complete PC fanboy, can't stand consoles.

Let's see... maybe because it was the PC Gamer and the PC that developed gaming and graphics to the level it is today? Gaming has always been pushing the envelopes of graphics and processor capability. Not to mention, upgrading a PC is as simple as replacing a part, whereas you have to chuck your old console when the next rotation comes around. It may be expensive, but you gotta pay to play (especially at 1600x1050 full AA and textures). Oh, and then there's the fact that I can alt-tab out of a game to handle surfing, chat, music... and there's also the fact that I can load whatever I want on my PC without some lame patch from M$ killing my mod (at least for now).

Just my $0.02

Didn't realize this is a psudo-hot topic.

I have a PS2 and a Gaming PC. I don't see either type dying. The whole thing about console's replacing a pc always comes up until pc's shoot past them and vice versus.

Each have there place. FPS play much better on the pc since you can upgrade the video and natively support keyboard / mouse compared to fps on consoles.

There are a lot of games that do better in console / controller format.

A true gamer will play the games they like on what ever system supports it and they will get newer pc or newer console to go where the games where.

The way I look at it, Star Ocean Till the End of Time sounds / looks great on my HDTV with dolby surrond sound and Doom 3 is awesom on the pc with head phone with the lights turned off.

That's not going be how it is soon. With the next-gen consoles. The XBOX360 will already rival most gaming PCs. And the PS3..well even more..

Revolution will be different. ^_^.

So what the PC will be good at then is multitasking. Actually the reason why I prefer playing games on the PC vs the consoles is for a couple reasons.

1) Modding. It's fun to mod and brings life into games I otherwise would've stopped playing a long time ago.

2) Multitasking ability

I've always been a PC Gamer fan, and have been so since after the Super Nintendo!

But these new consoles look like they are going to be really sweet. So I'll probably pick one up when they come out :D. Not sure which one. I think it will probably come down to which one has the game I want to play.

PC Gaming is too expensive. I'd rather invest in a nice HDTV and sound system for games, and use just a laptop.

I bet the next gen of gaming will come with keyboards and mice too.

I'm more of a console gamer, the only games that I ever really dug on the PC were Half Life and the GTA series. Consoles are better for most games like racing , platformers and fighting types, IMO and I'm a big fan of the racing ones, especially Wipeout and Ridge Racer.

Maybe it would've been different had I grown up with a PC, rather than a NES.

Everyone has a different opinion on the matter

Some people just generally don't want a console

If they are a PC gamer too that doesn't mean they're some kind of fan boy who refuses to buy a console

It's not so complicated :alien:

ps. PS2 is crap :p

pps. I can't wait for the xbox 360 :D

Got an Xbox as a gift. Oh my god! It's obviously geared toward the young crowd with poor attention spans.

I went out and rented 5 of the top 10 games, just to see the best it had to offer.

Please! Can it get more simplistic? Graphics are HORRIBLE! On par with what the PC offered about 5 years ago, and I'm running it on a 53" HDTV!

The only game I moderatly enjoyed was Tiger Woods 2005. But it's so simplistic on the xbox, compared to the PC version. I was shocked on how bad the courses looked. It was nice, though, to play a round of golf without all the "sim" features.

So, I modded it into a media center. Processor is to slow do do what I want it to do though. Ebay time!

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 26

      By Copernic · Posted

      TeraCopy 4.0 Build 26 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 26 changelog: Added support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. Improved exception handling and automated bug report upload. Fixed several minor bugs and small memory leaks. Build 26 (June 24) Fixed a rare exception when a transfer completed. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. Download: TeraCopy 4.0 Build 26 | 14.5 MB (Freeware, paid upgrade available) View: TeraCopy Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Briefly used Turbo Pascal (and Turbo C++) in 97 and soon after that I bought PC magazine that included a full version of Delphi 2. I still use Delphi today, some 29 years later.
    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.
