Just to point out, ME1 and 2 are on PC as well. If you decision has been made already, I suggest Lost Odyssey seeing as how you look to be a RPG fan. |
If you read my second post my pc died about a year ago, those are just games i own. Lots of people telling me to grab it ill check out some game play vids.
|
I think PC gaming is cheaper now than HD Consoles. Atleast against X360 (ou have to pay $50 if you want to play online there). Also, The PC versions of ME1 and ME2 are definitely better on the PC.
|
Soon you will need to buy a new GPU. 
Also, live is cheap because of the things you can have and it's just $50 per YEAR.
The pc version of ME2 isn't really different (the difference is minor), did you saw some screens comparing both versions? You need to be a big graphics whore to see a big difference between both versions. The quality, action and everything else will be the same except for the gameplay (but it's up to your tastes, I prefer to play on my couch than in front of my pc on a chair).

No new GPU for me unless an awesome game requires it, if the graphics justifies the purchase, then it makes sense to upgrade to DX11 cards, not to mention only the most crazy gamers have eyefinity setups, I'm not going down that route for awhile, not until they get rid of the bars in the middle from monitor makers and cost less at least.
XBL is not cheap, a truly cheap experience would be free, with extra features, aka PC, which is a platform that's light years ahead on many many things since it's not limited to gaming and a vastly limited GUI.
The difference, mainly, is the smooth frame rate, I'm talking smooth, smooth, 60+FPS constant game play at higher resolution while I'm live streaming game play at the same time, big difference, and does have better effects, it's no competition on the superiority of the PC version, as usual. Not to mention you can still sit on your couch and a big HDTV to play PC games with dual analog if you choose to, that part's moot.

exactly, many people don't even feel the need to upgrade their PCs anymore. PC games are decreasing in requirements, PC games are cheaper and PCs themselves are are cheaper too.
|
$800~$1000 for a good gaming PC isn't cheap, only if you are a graphic whore or a pirate.
|
$800?! You can easily get a good Gaming PC cheaper than that, even if you don't build it yourself.
For example I found this great $700 Gaming PC in just 3min: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227182
| Processor |
AMD Athlon II X4 620(2.6GHz) |
| Memory |
4GB DDR3 1333 |
| Hard Drive |
500GB SATA II |
| Graphics |
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT 1GB |
And how about this decent $600 Gaming PC that is perfect for a GPU upgrade down the road since you save money from the GPU initially: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229124
| Processor |
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200(2.33GHz) |
| Memory |
4GB (2 x 2GB) PC6400 DDR2 800 Dual Channel Memory |
| Hard Drive |
500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 7200RPM HDD |
| Graphics |
NVIDIA Geforce GT220 1GB PCI-Express Graphic Card |
And if you build the PC yourself, you can easily make a killing Gaming PC for only $400.
And yes, PC gaming can be cheaper than console gaming. PC games are much cheaper and there are always amazing deals every week. Hell, if you don't think that getting Mass Effect for $5 (or Mirror's Edge, or Dead Space, or...) is cheap, I don't know what is.
