I have not played since Empire, because it put me off for new titles but I will buy Total war: Rome 2. My first was Medievil total war and at the time I thought it was a masterpiece and then came Rome total war which was also a masterpiece in its own way. Medievil total war 2 was not so great not sure why but was a solid title. I probably put over 1000 hrs in rome and medievil total war. Every time I start a game something surprises me in Rome, like Armenia dominating the east and challenging Egypt. Or my leader living until he was 90! longer then his grandsons. At first he was a sucky general but living until 90 he became adept at everything lol.

But you are playing PC games at 1080p, so against the 720p of the console games, it definitely looks sharper. Added to that the smaller size of the monitors, it makes everything look even sharper again, meaning that there are far fewer small flaws to see

I was just talking screen vs screen, not PC vs Console.

Coincidentally I re-installed Rome Total War again just mere days ago.

I agree, it's still awesome, both in looks and naturally in gameplay. Personally though old graphics would never stop me replaying games, especially classic gems like this one .

Monitors generally have much higher pixel density though than TV's, which counteracts that, which is obvious.

<3 The pixel density of my monitors, really makes me drool in the anticipation of 4k panels.

I hear ya! That's absolutely correct. But there is one thing that sometimes makes me think twice: many old 3d games have suffered from the test of time, much more than their 2d counterparts. Lots of PSx titles out there show what I mean.

Fair enough, for me that only corresponds to PC vs console, so that was the comparison I made

Well you could connect a PC to a TV, or even a console to a monitor. But anyway we cool

Dont forget that you can take an old game and MOD it so it looks better than the successor (GTA 4 + mods looks better than GTA5)

Does not change the fact that GTA5 will most likely have much better gameplay :(


Thats why I am waiting for GTA5 on PC best version confirmed!

Actually I have had my Xbox connected to one of my monitors, it does make a huge difference

Equally when Rome II comes out I want to move my deskptop and connect it my big screen to get the appropriately epic scale that game requires.

Each has their own advantages
