Forums - Gaming - Is there any Xbox360 game worth playing that won't be out on PC?

DragonLord on 21 January 2008

Is Lost Odyssey coming to PC? It has had mediocre reviews so far, but I really want it. And Infinite Undiscovery? I like my turn-based RPG's and they don't tend to go to the pc.  Must have 360 titles IMO...although they are unknown franchises, but still--they look great at this point.

 @ManusJustusNardus

I do agree that the 360 had the better year in 2007, but I do think the ps3 will have a better lineup in 2008.  I have and love both consoles, but I don't know if I'd say that people are "much better off getting a 360."  From some of your comments, I have a feeling you only own a 360--making some of your claims a little naive and uneducated.  What would life be like without FFXIII?  I'd lose ALL desire to continue on....my life would...be....over.

I play games just fine on my 3 year old pc.

Yeah, with everything on lowest settings.


Yeah,just like on a console. Consoles are stuckt at 720p (for the most part). A $1200 Quadcore Dell XPS bought today (I just priced - it's on dell.com front page ) will easily play 5 -6 years of games at 1280X720. Sure it won't play them a 1920x1200 - but then again neither do consoles! You guys are comparing high end ultra high resolution PC gaming to a console and claming the PC is more expensive. A console can't do 1900x1220 (or higher) ever. Your PC will do that for a few years, then drift down as games bvecome more complex eventually bottoming out right around console level 720p. So for $350 you get 720p for 5 years. For $1200 you get to surf vgcharts, do your homework, chat with firends, watch you tube AND play games at super high resolutions for the first few years....

 

 

It seems everyone here has a PC already anyway!


I bought a $1200ish Dell about four and a half years ago. It stopped being able to run current games at 1280x720 about a year ago. Last I checked, it could barely handle Oblivion unless I turned the graphics way down, much less a current graphics-hog like Crysis. And that's with a RAM and video card upgrade over the original.

Aside from that, you're paying $1200 to do the same thing that a $350 Xbox can do. That's... sort of stupid.

@ Legend11: Spore is coming out for every console in existence as well as the PC. Dragon Age and Starcraft 2 probably won't be coming out this year - at least, I'll be surprised if they do.  And Warcraft... well, if I wanted a second job, I'd at least want to get paid for it. ;)



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Crazy people. Stupid people. Why spend $2,000 on a gaming PC that has litterally no other use outside of games, when your getting the same or better experience (in some cases) on a X360?

 Hi.

 I personally bought a gaming PC base unit for about £800, one and a half years ago rather than a £250'ish X360. Everyone had different tastes in gaming and different amounts of disposable income, but I'll try to put across my motivations as best as possible.

1. My first reason was that some of my favorite genres (RTS, space sim) are not on any other format, in any great number. I have to buy a PC to play them. 

2. I prefer the keyboard and mouse for FPS games and several other types.

3. It's cheaper (for me)

 

The third one seems a bit unintuitive because the initial cost is so high for a pc and you have buy a new graphics card and maybe more ram every 2 years or so to keep it up to date, but I'll explain where I save money. If I buy the orange box for my PC rather than my PS3 for example I save £13 (assuming I bought it from amazon) I normally buy 2 or 3 games every month and I find I save at least £10 by getting a PC game rather than a console one. This builds up to a 400-500 saving over the course of a year.

I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just trying to explain my own reasoning for choosing a PC over an X360.
