Being a PC gamer, I'm going to assume you will end up favoring your PC for FPS's. The 360 doesn't have a lot (if any) stategy games, so your current platforms should be able to fill the viod in that area. Although a good game, Devil May Cry does have it's flaws -- repeated boss battles, linear gameplay, and lots of back tracking. I wouldn't consider this to be *the* game to play on the 360. You should look at DMC4 as a solid game to add to you library. If you're expecting a triple A experience, however, you're not going to find that in Devil May Cry 4. Devil May Cry's 85% score on Gamerankings.com is a very accurate score for the game. Since you're buying the 360 for GTA, a game that you will play for a long time, the additions of DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden 2 should be enough to justify your purchase. That's 3 games right there that you have shown interest in, and one of them is the game you have bought the system for. In my opinion, the 360 would make a great secondary console for you based on your wants. |
While I agree with most of this, I think the 360 is a better purchase for people who don't have a good gaming PC. The best games on the 360 are Bioshock, Gears of War, and Mass Effect (imo). Two of those are on the PC, and with the right hardware, are better on the PC, and the third is on the way.
If this game is the only reason you are getting a console, then the 360 is the one for you (as it's cheaper). If your looking for a console to complement your current hardware, the PS3 is probably a better choice. It does cost more, but a lot of the games you will never find on the PC. (GT5, MGS, LBP, FFXIII, FFXIII Versus, the list goes one), and it has a Blu-Ray player.
The 360 is great for FPS's, but is no where near as good as a PC, so I would remove them from your consideration when looking at consoles. With FPS's removed, the PS3 has a little more going for it.
