Forgetting splitscreen gaming here. ;)

In all honesty, to me that isn't a loss, I hate split screen gaming. The only time I can do it is on music games like guitar hero or rockband, but try split screen rts or fps or racing or whatever and I can't stand it. Unless you have a ludicrously large TV, the part that you have is always too small, and ofcourse there is always screen hacking that goes on, so you never have a hiding place to go to :(

42" (and 50" ) ftw! :P

btw, I like the co-op playing on split screen, playing against eachother doesnt work really well imo. (except racing games, where screen cheating doesnt matter, and if someone does they usually crash anyways.)

Still, if its nothing for you, thats fine. however, if you're going to argue wich is better (which neither is imo) it is a good point in favor of the console. (for people who actually have friends :P )

oi, I have friends!! :mad: :P

I got a 42" TV aswell, but it just isn't the same. I can see how co-op would be quite good though, but apart from GoW, I have never really liked co-op on split screen either. As you say though, suppose it is just preference :P

And although I voted for PC, I wouldn't ever give up my xbox, atleast not at the moment...my wii however, gets used once every 6 months because my mum likes the idea of wii fit, but will she let me sell it, will she heck. It will get to the point where they are on ebay for dirt cheap rather than £300+ and she will come to her sense, but by then it will be too late :mad: that is slightly ot though

I have a 50" and although it's playable, you really need a 65" if you will be split screening very often.

lmao, I wish, he looks quite cool tbh, probably because he is has a smug look on his face going "it looks good, you know you want it...BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!!"
 
I voted PC because as an old school gamer, I remember playing Doom, Doom 2, Rise of the Triad, Duke Nukem 3d, Quake and Heretic against some friends before multiplayer was even developed and I miss those days. I also had the long Gravis gamepad with the 4 rainbow colored buttons. Those were the days when graphics werent a big deal. Also I miss playing all the Space Quest, Police Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry games. I have an Xbox 360 and PS2 and I havent been playing it much (lots of homework and DJing). Remember you can only play certain games on a PC vs Console. I dont think youll ever find Shin Megami Tensei (Japanese RPG) on PC nor you will find an F16 Simulator game on a PS3, XBox, or Wii. Also if you have a well built computer (great graphics), then there is no need to get MW2 on XBox or Playstation 3 (unless you use the PS3 network). Thats my opinion. I will get back into gaming someday...
 
no contest really easy PC

i voted pc as i hate playing games on consoles especially FPS as i really hate and cant stand the 2 crappy analogue sticks there in my opinion come no where close to the mouse and keyboard (WSD)
and if you want to play racing games buy a xbox 360 controller so much easier for racing using the keyboard
the graphics are not even comparable to pc graphics
I do agree multiplayer is good on consoles BUT online multiplayer PC def
and you can also connect yr pc up to your big screen play MW2 on your nice plasma like you would do for your console
 
Tbh this is a bit of a stupid question seeing as its a COMPUTER forum XD, anyways i vote PC obviously too many reasons why cba to say :P
 
well.. seeing as its a computer forum, and Console translated to dutch means game-computer. I see how the question would make sense, and is in fact not stupid at all. ;)
 
I can see what turbo is saying though. His point is evident by the results in this poll, it no way represents the gaming markets position on PC/Console gaming - i dont know the actual figures but i'd imagine its something like the other way around!

Your average gamer doesnt have PC's to the specs that 99% of regular users of this forum have... im sure if they did, they're consoles would start to gather dust

I just meant its obviously going to be biased as its a pc forum :P

most do build systems to game on, but for many it is a hobby rather than to server the purpose of gaming. If it was just for that, they would spend half the time and money that they do because a mid end system could run the game.

The majority of people on here also own and play consoles quite a bit and an even larger majority have both AND visit this section of the site, so I don't think it is as biased as you are making out :P
