narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 Consoles just aren't built to last these days (or in these cases, not built correctly to start with). My Original Sega Megadrive still runs flawless, whilst i'm struggling to own a current/last gen console for more than a year and a half before it gets replaced. Build a pc nerd. http://www.logicalincrements.com consoles are cheaper to own, dork... plus they play games without needing new upgrades... I think that if you built a pc now, it would play every game coming up this generation on at least medium settings. It would. The 8800GT that released in 2006 still runs heavy games now quite nicely. Dude used FRAPS to record which explains part of the slowdown on Metro Longetivity of PC builds compared to consoles is a myth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 i've never had a console fail on me... *knocks on wood* there's too much troubleshooting with PC's, plus in a year or two, in order to get the good looking stuff, i would have to upgrade... with a console, i put the game in and BOOM, it magically starts working... and $600 is still $100 more than an X1 and it plays games right out of the box... i used to PC game, but i made the switch a long time ago... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 Would never play a Bethesda game on console again (unless they're fucktards and don't do a limited edition for PC again, like they did with New Vegas). The mods make the game for me at this point; they wouldn't have the longevity they have for me if it weren't for the hundred or so mods I end up installing. Anything else, however, I'll be playing on console. And it likely won't be the Xbox One, so... *Abandons thread* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
