Posted May 1, 2013 Honestly the only reason I bought a recent console was for Halo. I wish it stayed on PC, but it didn't so I was forced to buy a 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2013 None of the above? Exclusive games, cheap gaming and a very long lifespanEdit: This one is an important one: lazy gaming! Imagine the laziest position on a couch ever, with two hands and a controller resting in the lap. You can't do that on a PC Edit 2: Yes, I am very well aware of HTPCs, and thus making the "You can't do that on a PC" above a false statement, but it isn't the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2013 Exactly - What would you think if I told you I was playing the latest titles on a 7 year old gaming PC? Case in point PS3 I would try to think of what such a PC would have cost back in the day, and then I would think of how unlikely it would be if no upgrades were done at all during that time (XP to win7 for instance) :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2013 Use to be into consoles have the ps3 and xbox360 before I bought a new laptop that could play games properly. Still do since lots of my friends still play them but I can't use a controller worth shit anymore. How does one aim with a thumb stick.

Well, yeah, you can, but then you're trying to play games with a controller that isn't balanced/adjusted for that game. It's doable, yes, but its still more of a hassle, which kinda defeats that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2013 I have had my Xbox 360 for a long time now. My brother and I each wished for one for Christmas. Having a gaming pc was not really an alternative because we were too young to use it and understand it properly let alone build it. Also, Halo is awesome. That being said, I'll build a pc the next time I need a new gaming machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2013 I used to own ps1,ps2 and psp. I dont buy ps3 because it was too expensive at that time.

Posted May 1, 2013 Well I have a Halo Reach Limited Edition Xbox 360.I pretty much played on consoles for my whole life, even had a PS3 for a while. Then I saw the light thanks to the BF3 hype in 2011 when I decided to get a PC. Since then, my Xbox is rarely turned on. The only thing I do with my Xbox nowadays is pretty much play exclusive games on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 1, 2013 I have an xbox and a ps3 not for the games, but to be able to sit on my couch and play games. I work from home as a consultant and after working 10-12 hours at my PC, I don't want to sit in this same seat and play games. I've found after working from home for years now that any kind of break or move in where you're doing something can help you unwind. I recently smartened up and got an xbox controller for PC, put together a 'gaming' PC from parts I already had and ran the HDMI out from that to my receiver/TV. Now I get the best of both worlds. Only problem is now my consoles are collecting dust. I keep thinking I'm going to take them to a pawn shop to practice the haggling skills I see on these reality TV shows :D Dis track?

Posted May 1, 2013 I personally like playing on consoles better.. At least certain games.. On the PC someone always bugs me, but when I'm on my Xbox 360 in front of my big screen I get completely immersed in any possible game. + the exclusives.

Posted May 1, 2013 I got a console because i thought that back in 2010, consoles had awesome graphics and was the only thing that could play games, and i got it with kinect. When i play my xbox 360, i usually can't even see the words because i am using a 720p TV and i sit like 3-4 meters back. I really hated it. Since then i lost some interest in gaming and focused more on my studies. However, i saw a video that linus made and it was about crossfire. I started to get interested into these videos and i really wanted to get a computer to play games, but i instead got a laptop, an AUS G75VX, and i love <3 it so freaking much! I have been playing games regularly and have left my xbox 360 below my TV console, abandoned. I am so happy i have made this choice, but i regret getting such an expensive computer when i mainly play TF2 XD. I thought that i would like BF3 and all these great games, but i bought them and played for only like 3-4 hours, then i stopped. I really like the unrealistic setting TF2 is set on. I hate BF3 as it is like just shoioting and stuff, but with TF2, there is rocket jumping, sticky jumping, double-jump, awesome crazy weapons to choose from, and the great maps. I hope Valve would make a TF3 or if you are able too, please recommend me some games that are similar to TF2! TIA! :) ASUS ROG G75VX Intel i7-3630QM 2.4GHz/3.4GHz Turbo | Nvidia GeForce 670MX 3GB OCed to 736MHz | 750GB HDD | Windows 8.1 | 24 GB 1600MHz RAM | Razer Goliathus Medium | Logitech G400s | Razer Kraken/ JBL J22 | Corsair Vengeance K70 Cherry MX blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
