    Just as many benefits as console gaming. .

    Better visuals, higher frame rate, exclusives, game play options, mods, you get the full game when you buy a game like BF3, game with mouse/keyboard or controller, Steam>PS Network>Xbox Live.

    There are a lot of things. Too many to name.

    The mods are as big as anything for me. The better visuals and frame rate are nice too but the mods really add a lot of new elements to games.

    I actually like the mouse and keyboard now.

    My edit that the site decided I shouldn't post had to do with price. I could build a $700 PC that would run anything on high. How much you think the new consoles will cost? Games are cheaper on Steam. Other factors. Afraid to keep going, and then get the Oops message again.

    New consoles will $400 at least. Maybe more.

    I will still get the PS4 for the exclusives. Plus a lot of people I play online with won't have a PC. I most wanted my PC for games like Skyrim. It is a completely different game on PC. So much better.

    Yea, that was in my edit as well. Talking about games like Skyrim and BF3 being 100x better on PC.

    You should have seen the edit. It was beautiful. RIP edit.

    Far Cry 3 is going to be a lot of fun.

    Crysis 3 is going to make your eyes bleed.

  • I cannot wait to be out of college and working a stable job that allows me to afford a gaming rig. I never wanted one growing up but the last 3/4 years, PC gamers have made me really jealous. Of course, I love Sony and my PS3, so I'd probably play that more, but there's certain games I'd get on a PC over a console. Skyrim, Battlefield, Far Cry, Crysis are examples of those.

    My rig maxes out Crysis 2, game looks amazing.

  • Tried out Dungeon Defenders last night, once with Me, Curgan, Mountie and another time with just Me and Curgan.

    The game is fun as hell, BUT the chat is basically worthless. The chat is awful.

    I am almost positive the Xbox 360 is still the top selling console, is it not?

    Yes.. Xbox games and consoles have been number 1 for a while in America(Not just saying this because I use one).. The lists out there prove that to be true.. They took a backseat to the WII for a while, well every consol did, but the Xbox is for sure on top.

    Anyways, don't want to get in a pissing match over this because both consols are great in their own way and it's just preference on what you like.

    And it is close.. Xbox passes PS3 and WII for the first time GLOBALLY in 2012..

    Xbox 360 tops Wii and PS3 for 1st time in yearly global sales - GeekWire

    Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has been dominating its home turf for the past couple of years, sitting atop the monthly sales charts for the U.S. video-game console market, but the Redmond company has just taken the title of top-selling home console worldwide, as well.

    It amazes me how few people realize that.

    I made a choice when the current generation started and that's the direction I went.

    Part of me wishes that one console would end up dominating just so consolidate my friends to one console, but that would probably destroy the market. Competition has been very good in driving the direction of the current generation.

    That is disappointing. There has to be something else we can use in place of in game chat.

    I agree, not real sure on why people insist on having this irrelevant conversation about which is better. I am curious to see the actual 2012 numbers however, just from a business standpoint to see how the companies are all doing individually, rather than looking at all of the list compiled with 2011 data, or just going month by month. Won't know for sure how each one has done in 2012 until Q4 2012 ends early next year.

    Japan used to be one of the biggest markets for consoles and now they have all abandoned them. They are all about handhelds now. Pretty crazy.

    But yeah, I didn't bother with the tutorial so it took me a bit to have any semblance of idea as to how to play the game, but I really enjoyed it. It's like tower defense, meets action, meets horde mode, meets RPG ... its a melting pot of all kinds of games. I dig.

    Yeah, the PSP exploded over there for a while. They contributed it mostly to one of the Monster Hunter games that was exclusive over there. Haven't seen many articles on the DS or any of the iterations of in a while, but then again I haven't really looked. I do, however, think it is funny that the Wii after 2011 and being irrelevant for well over a year (the only thing that resurrected it at all is the Zelda release late 2011) from a hardcore gaming aspect still had almost 30 million more consoles sold than the PS3 and 360.

    Tutorials are for panty waists anyway. It is pretty awesome. I can't think of anything besides skype either honestly. A service I have never used and now I am actually considering it to replace voice chat so I can enjoy a video game more. That is either insanity or ingenuity.

    Gchat would probably work out well too.

    I thought it was running great.

    Everyone I know that left BF to play Black Ops is already back to BF because they like it better.
