for me i only buy console exclusive games that are not available on PC like forza (don't really like gears and never got into halo), i guess if your friends only play on XBL then this PC or any PC (gaming) need not be as high specced as the one in the video. |
actually I would cause like I said I wouldn't get an XBox one only.... Heck my current HT amplifier is more expensive than the average high end hardcore gamer PC rig alone....
Pixel count is one of the lowest point on my list... while I'm not gonna lie I enjoy nice graphic most of my favorite games are not the most beautiful ones... I'd take gameplay, story, originality, and sound design over getting more than 1080p any day... speaking of forza I wouldn't trade my 5.1 aging set up for a 180 degree set up even if you payed me (unless you'd pay me enough to replace said sound set up)... I gain way more immersion from sound than pictures....
like I said I'd rather have a flat 100" 1080p projector, a top of the line sound system (which would probably cost already more than that rig alone considering a single of my mid range front speaker cost already more than 300 bucks a piece and a single subwoofer 500 bucks)... I don't like MP on PC... PCs are good for elite gamers that play way too seriously for me... I play for fun mostly and have a set up to enjoy movies and relax in a very casual way.... nothing beside pixel pushing that can be provided by a PC conveniently or without incurring major expenses to reach an acceptable WAF (Wife Acceptable Factor)
I use to have HT PC and gaming rigs that cost me several month of salary back in my younger age.... this is not my thing anymore... and I don't envy any of my friends.... outside of their mindless associal LAN they actually enjoy gaming and watching movies more at my place than on their super power rigs....
