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.

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.

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...

I've never had a console break either, computers on the other hand always slow down, no matter how pristine you treat it.

Maybe it's the porn...

You really don't... look at the video of skyrim, by then those parts were 5 almost 6 years old and they still ran it on high

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...

My desktop I left behind in Lisbon was still using a 9600GT, granted I didn't play that many games in it, but I remember Skyrim running fine, never had issues with it.

Massy's got it. I remember holding the box at MicroCenter (computer/electronics store) and getting chills seeing the disturbing box art. :lol:

When I was 6, I was playing a game called Jazz Jackrabbit, made by Epic Megagames. Those motherfuckers went on to create Unreal and Gears of War.

Get on my level.

I was marveling at the epic saga of San Andreas' storyline. :whistle:

I had that fucking graphics card that came with like Doom 3 decals and shit and stickers to put on the case that screamed "DOOM EDITION"...

And then the game got delayed, and by the time Doom 3 came out it ran like ass on a card it was ment to run on Ultra
