Meanwhile, I'm able to play a game while watching a free stream of PPV boxing on the 2nd monitor on my PC. Enjoy the console bitches.

Yeah because I can't do the same thing with two tvs.....you ****ing reerun.

According to pc gamers no one in this country owns two televisions. You must go out and buy one when you have a console.

You have two TV's in your living room reerun?

That I do......dipshit.

Just like you must go out and buy a computer monitor when you said that most people have TV's that are capable to be monitors, right? Dipshit.

Most people have two or more televisions, odds are they don't have a gaming monitor.

Think before you type.

You don't need a gaming monitor. Just a TV.

Can you hook up 3 TV's to increase your view on a console? Oh that's right, you can't.

Do I ****ing give a shit? Nope....I don't.

Actually you can

That guy has never been laid.


Hell, he has probably never even fapped.

The only way I've ever seen this done for consoles is if you have another console and disc. Most games that aren't Forza are designed to only fit one screen

Go ahead and let me know how much it would cost to do that.

This is getting too heated. We all need to take a step back.

Now I do wish I could do this with a console:


<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xOUId4fBOg8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

3 monitors is not a lot of money.

This one is pretty cool too:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/aWasjEknVOA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Maybe some day they'll make it as a DLC you can buy for the Playstation? :p

And at what resoulution?

No one said you had to buy a TV when you buy a console.

I said that, SAYING that, is just like saying you have to go and buy a monitor if you decide to build a PC. Cause you don't, you use the thing you already have, just like you actually would with a console.

Going back to lugging the console around and being an eyesore in the middle of the living room. You know you have to put a console somewhere right? Put your similarly sized PC there.. same difference~



I want you console guys to keep in mind, what you are buying when you buy a console is you are buying a PC with a set of fixed hardware, with a fixed, proprietary, operating system.

Thats it.

Compared to buying a PC, which is the same thing, except with every option you can dream of. Kind of like unlocking advanced mode.

The only thing you will miss is madden, and if 2k gets to make a football game, you can play it on your PC, with your favorite console controller. BTW 2k14 not being next gen means nothing really, since it was released before the next gen consoles. Next year, it will be the current version, just like it was when it launched 2 months ago.

L4Dead is a PC game, works flawlessly. Never had a crash.

Umm, you do realize playing a game without proper drivers or a company releasing a game that is still having problems is not the computers fault?

This also now happens to consoles.

PC are better for everythign but sports.

Great article in its entirety.


Why? because the consoles are PC's.

phewww

A graphical representation of why it's more cost effective to own a PC


http://i.imgur.com/GAFz4Gt.jpg

LMAO

sure they do.

ROFL

It doesn't matter. When it happens it's a pc gaming problem.

What about when it happens on console?

Porn is much better on the PC. :thumb:

As time goes on, there are less and less problems. You download a game on steam it probably has a better chance of working than your laser going bad on the console or getting a RROD/permacrash.

If they would just release Sports games on PC, there would be no reason at all to won a console..nada.

Consoles are still much cheaper. Once again, that chart doesn't factor in the accessories you would need. I'm sorry, I am not going to leave my huge pc tower in the family room. I am also not going to sit there with a mini desk playing on a m/k.

Factor in the ability to resell your games and xbox/ps4 combined is still cheaper.

Haha yes that's true

When you factor in all of the free entertainment available on pc, it's not even close...PC is way cheaper to own/maintain.

Here is a list of pc games as they are released

http://www.rlslog.net/category/games/pc/

click on the ps3/ps4 to see how long it is between releases. there are 1000/1 pc games released to consoles. Plus when you upgrade a console, you more than likely can't play the old games on anything but...you guessed it pc that emulates the old system.

What accessories do you need? Dont you need controllers and headsets and shit for console too? There is no difference? Saying you have to buy a monitor is assanine. Not to mention, most people alreayd have monitors and PC desks becuase on top of a console THEY ALREADY HAVE A PC!

Whens the last time you resold games for more than a few bucks? If you buy the game for 60, get ten bucks back for it that's 50 bucks. If you buy it on steam sale for 7.99.. 19.99, whatever, how is that worsE?

Also, if you are dead set on using your PC as a "gaming console", why would you have a big tower? have a tower the same size as a console. Dont you see you can do that? ****, you can make them SMALLER!

Also I think I am a genius for starting this thread~

I've bought the big titles on steam for as little as 2 bucks, and it's ALWAYS there if you wanna redownload/play/delete it. No need to go look for the disc/dig out the old console.

I don't know the numbers and I am not going to look them up, but I would imagine most people nowadays either buy laptops or tablets. If I didn't buy that gaming rig I would never of had a desktop.

All accessories you need with a console come with the console. Controller, headset etc..

If I buy a game new which is usually never, I take a 6-8 dollar hit. Unless it's a fantastic multiplayer game, I don't really hang onto the game for more than a month.

I bought my rig in 08 or 09. It was a while ago. I upgraded to a radeon 6 series not too long ago that can run directx11. I think its a 6700.

You can stream Free PPV and play games at the same time through a console?

Your wallet must say Bad mother ****er on it.

A 6700 isn't bad, What is your processor speed? You should be able to run almost anything at a decent resolution providing your processor is decent.

It can

Then how can you justify spending 500 on something obsolete already? ****, you could re-beast that PC again for the money if you have the itch.

I know you don't think it's great, but I am telling you this voice control for your tv is great. I rarely use the remote. I am having a blast with forza and deadrising.

In 3-4 years when you can notice a graphics upgrade I will re-beast the pc. I'm not getting rid of it.

Dayz looks good, wonder if my card can run it.

I use a 7770 and run at max settings on most everything with no problems.

Recommended settings:

CPU: Intel Core i5 or AMD Phenom X4 or faster
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 2 GB
OS: Windows 7
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM
Sound Card: Yes

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com...nts/dayz/11404

Console for sports.

PC for everything else.

I'll probably end up with a ps4, but... it's hard to justify spending $500 on something that was obsolete in the tech world about 3 years ago.

He is running circular logic with a faulty thought process.

It happens more and more each console generation. They keep getting closer and closer to being full on PCs, hell I think next generation will actually have upgradeable parts.

Lets see ps4 and one. You have to still download the game in installs to play, sounds like a PC.

You have to get patches and updated notes to play online, sounds like a PC.

If there is a problem with the game it gets patched or it does not. There have been a few multiplayer games that you cannot play anymore on Live or Ps3, gauntlet legends because they went kaput. Happens to PC games also, does not mean it is the systems fault.

So another thing I hear is you cannot sell PC games? And? Most people do not sell their console games. And when you do most people get a small fraction of the cost back, Average is around 5 bucks. Unless you swap that shit after a few weeks.

PC games are much cheaper from the start to buy, So if you spend 40 to 50 bucks Get zero return, you spent 40 to 50 on the game in the end. A console game you are spending 50 to 60, if you are the average user, you keep that game a long while, you trade it or sell it for 5 bucks, hell even 10 bucks, your end amount for that game is still 40 to 50 bucks.


Something else that is funny, though I am getting both, the new consoles look like flat towers. Hmm.

This is a really flawed chart.

For starters, you're not going to stick with the same rig for 8 years. At the same time, I don't think I could really recommend an AMD core at this time lol the rig they used as an example is a poor investment

It's also assuming console games never are on sale, which is ridiculous.

To go on from there, Playstation plus is actually cheaper than live but yet the chart fails to reflect that. I can walk into gamestop on Friday and buy a year long membership for 30 bux and realistically, this generation lasts 7 years tops. So in result, if we're going to assume deals, I could get the subscription service for $210 over the life of the PS4 which is less than half of what that chart reflects.

I think the costs are a lot closer than the chart implies and really it comes down to preference. I like the graphics and mods that come with PC games, but to be brutally honest, I've had a lot more fun playing console games for awhile now.

It's coming to PS4.

It has not been confirmed. If it comes to ps4 it will come to the one.

Silly Rabbit, Consoles are for kids.

Will come to ps4 on release, where as there is speculation that the PC release is coming within weeks.

ps4 will get it a year or more from now after its 'done'

As for the graph, its all subjective. Its just an example, and you could change the example around a lot of ways, but the fact remains every time you buy a humble bundle, or a steam sale game, or an india game, you are gaining 20 to 55 dollars on a console in actual cost.

Thats a lot of hardware. You can also say that you wont keep the pc for 7 or 8 years, but you do the console, so why not compare as such?

The reason you don't keep a PC for that long is because you want to upgrade and get a faster system. With console, you dont upgrade, you keep using the same shitty hardware for that 8 year period. You CAN do the same thing with PC. You just DONT so why do it with your CONSOLE (which btw, is a PC)

I run it on my laptop, and it's only a I5-2410M with a 520M graphics card.

Nothing special, but it has no slowdown.


Dell has one HELL of a deal going on a business desktop right now:
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/de...11052c21697513

I5-3340
8 GB DDR5 ram

$469

Add a graphics card for 100-150 and that is a good system for $600.

What do you think hometeam?

I think you can generally stay away from Dell and do just fine. I built my Asus dominated I7 with a 5770 Asus card and 8 gb of ram 3 + years ago for $550. It's still going strong today, and I would suggest you build your own.

Thanks.

I am probably going to do the deal we talked about in the other thread that included the 8350 and Radeon 7850.

I just found out the Dell has a weak power supply. Nevermind. :D

my new system will e done after black Friday/cyber Monday. Is the Geforce 660 a good card?

Midrange nvidia card from last generation. Should be good for max on all but a few games. Probably not good enough for ultra settings at high res.

:thumb:

Oh np, and don't be afraid to do it yourself. If you are unsure just have a friend help you through the first time. It's easier than ever to build your own system. Heck pop a youtube vid up of someone doing it. You will save money and be able to replace bad parts/upgrade anytime you want.

Dont get a 660, get a 760. The 760 is a rebadged 670 (what I have) and its like 10 or 20 dollars more than a 660 for about as much % in performance. Though even a 660 is more powerful than ps4 or xbone~

As in physically build it or have a company do it for you?

Physically build it.. its like putting together high tech legos. Its extremely easy. laughably easy. If you are going to order a boutique PC you might as well have me build it, I can do customer watercooling loops too, just wont charge near as much~

A 760 is about $60-80 more than a 660, bud.

I built a game rig to specifically play Half-Life 2 when it came out 10 years ago. It was unbelievably easy.

The damn operating system is almost the most expensive component. :cuss:

Oh, your right. Looks like 660s dropped again.

Not sure why people keep saying sports is better on console. Considering most PC sports games are console ports. can't get any worse than that.

http://img.techpowerup.org/090910/pr...ion-soccer.jpg

Graphics aren't everything.

The experience is much better with a controller than a keyboard and mouse when it comes to playing sports games.

And.. you don't think you cant plug your controller into a PC and it work EXACTLY the same?

How do you think I play nba 2k ? With my controller :/

The only reason why the sports are better on consoles myth exists is because EA has a stranglehold on the NFL, and does not make Madden for PC.

It also goes hand in hand in general, the market for sports games is not there with PC gamers. It really has nothing to do with the machines themselves, and you WILL see a licensed football game for PC in the next 2 years.

PS and MS controllers are plug and play with PCs, brah.

Not to mention, there are hundreds of controllers in any configuration you could want.

PC will never see a NFL game:

The NFL-video game monopoly isn't going away. The "Madden" deal ends this year, but the NFL Players Association representatives have all but promised they'll continue to deal with one company. "Madden NFL 25," however, does offer some positive signs for the future. More than any other time in the last decade, this feels like a game made by people feeling a fire on their heels.

I would like to see Sony's studio create a football game.

I really hope this is nto the case, for console and PC both.

Allowing EA to turn out the same basic game year after year, is not a way to encourage making a better NFL game.
