What is better PC or PS3?

It's a matter of preference.WildTurkey00

When it comes to overall power.

PC.

it really depends upon the game, although for a lot of things the pc is better, it's hard to get decent rpg's etc on the pczehoo

are you kidding me?

[QUOTE="brendandick"][QUOTE="WildTurkey00"]It's a matter of preference.WildTurkey00

How?

Because everything, from games to graphics, physics to A.I and brutal power is better on the Pc.

Wow. Really !!! . . . . :roll:

But don't you think personal preference is a factor for a person who is trying to decide which is the best system for them to play games on?

PC gaming isn't for everybody.

ive always been a PS fan, but i do agree that FPS's are better played on pc for obvious reasons

But other games ie Racing games(GT), RPG(final fantasy), Metal Gear Sold type games...they are MUCH more suited for playstation or consoles for that matter - and there is no way that any gamer with an objective view can deny that!

Wow is a MMORPG and i'm not a fan.

I prefer the PS3 (consoles) to the PC for a number of reasons. Firstly, PC games require high end powerful PC's with high specs which is very expensive, as for consoles, you buy the piece of hardware which is garenteed to run the software designed for the PS3. You can build a gaming PC which can prove cheaper but not many people do.

PC requires you to install the game, input serials, go through security issues, install patches, audio devices, automatic updates, configure controls without even beginning playing the game itself whereas on a console you can put in the disk and start playing instantly.

FPS/Simulation/Strategy/MMORPG games are more suited on PC's mouse and keyboard. Everything else is better for a consoles joypad. Games feel more comfortable on a joypad and the controls are made a lot easier compared to a standard PC Game.

Can't be bothered going on, i would go for the PS3 overall..

Again its a matter of preference. I haven't seen a game on the PC come out in the past 3 years that I have been interested in. Keyboard and mouse is preferable to a game-pad in FPS and RTS so Ill give you that.

What is better PC or PS3?ghostriderx

PC is way better than any console.you see the consoles are made form low to mid range PC parts.with out the PC and the hard work that gose into developing newer and faster PC hardware there would be no console.

Also just about any Mid range PC will owne a PS3 or XBOX 360.I can play games at higher res than a PS3 or 360 could ever dream of with fram rates in the 50-70FPS where as a PS3 or 360 can only play at a max of 1080P/I at about 30FPS.

MY RIG

Athlon x2 4200+ oced to 3.1GHz,2GIGs of DDR2 800 ram OCed to 1074MHz,8800GTS 320MB OCed to 600MHz/2010MHz,2 160GIG HDDs in RAID 0,X-Fi soundbaster.3d mark 06 score of 10237.

And my rig only cost 850$ ,more that twice the power of the PS3 for only 250$ more.

the only type of game where you actually HAVE to do all that stuff is an MMORPG. every other game for pc, you just install and can start playing.

That's BS, there are lot of games that require you to install other components for the game to run. Though i don't consider that something that would be negative, maybe its because i never thought it to be complicated.

Don't even start the PC vs. Console RPG argument..

RPGs on consoles FTW =)

[QUOTE="WildTurkey00"]It's a matter of preference.brendandick

what? The guy is right, it is a matter of preference. Do you prefer to have a constant spec machine that primarily uses a controller for 600 or do you prefer to have a top running computer that primarily uses mouse and keyboard. Do you want to have crummy online service or do you want the whole internet at your disposal? (and dont say 'ps3 has web browser' because the pc internet browsers are far superior.

... pfftt lol *rolls eyes*

Each system also has it's exclusive titles, I think it really depends upon what you're looking for in a console and how much you're willing to pay.
PS3- blu-ray games and movies, low cost.
PC- can outperform consoles if spent greatly upon.

I would go with the PS3 simply because it's a great deal for what you get and it's all set up for high-end gaming.

don't ever compare a PC to consoles

Well I can sit on my couch with my PC pumped through a stereo and play my games on a 55" DLP with a wireless mouse and KB OR a gamepad playing a real RPG not watching some crappy interactive (press X to continue) cutscenes that you all call a JPRGs.

Yes 1 rpg as opposed to the many you can get that come out of japan. Don't get me wrong I spend a lot of money updating my pc each year and I played wow for a long time, but if you want choice when it comes to decent rpgs you're going to have to get a console since most *** rpgs, which tend to be better than western rpgs, only come out on consoles. (I don't count oblivion as an rpg since it was more of an fps with some rpg/adventure elements and the last version of neverwinter nights to be released was horrid to the point where I'd prefer playing table top to it)

After you deduct the system resources Vista hogs running in the background, not to mention all the other background applications (antivirus and the like) your 2 gigs is not very much memory. Vista FTL. Also, overclocking every component to the point of system instability FTL. Don't get me wrong, I have always been a fan of PC games. I have a gaming computer. But I can't buy play any new games on it, cause it's about a year old, and I don't want to upgrade it every 3 months. Consoles you buy once, and you're good for years. PC you buy, for a lot more, and then a few months later and you either upgrade, buy a new one, or only play old games. That being said, this probably would be better suited for system wars.

Theres more than just JRPG's if you actually bothered to read my list as KOTOR, Jade Empire and Mass Effect are all bioware as Fable is lionhead etc... And besides your just trying to turn your PC into a console with what you just described..liek omg wireless keyboard and mouse and bla bla.. your just trying to imitate what consoles have and will continue to keep doing and besides not everyone nor many have a setup like you.. you've just gone out of your way, but as your such a hero I will just lay all my gaming experience and opinions down and bow to you because you are the all knowing and master of the universe..

With the amount of money you spent on that setup you could of gone out side and perhaps made some real friends instead of flaming your biased PC opinions in a PS3 forum..

...IMO as I am allowd to have one despite every PC gamers ignorance to think I am not.. RPG's on consoles > PC RPG's.. I have a high end PC which is capable of playing any of the games you have gone on about.. I stick with consoles when it comes to RPG's and i'll take it that way regardless..

Go Kill some Demons with Dice or Point and Click that bad guy.. or what ever you may do in your spare time, im out...

LOL... =D

JRPG > all... story driven, deep characters that make you feel like you're there with them >>> point and click random quest where the main goal is to get more xp and dress your character really well to take printscreens and send to your friends saying : "Z0mg... i had to beat the zull farak dungeon 304842 times but now i finally found the plate helmet i was searching for my whole life"

oh... and on topic... PC is better for FPS games and RTS, console is better for all the rest :)

yeah... you're playing an important role in a story... there is no story in WOW and your roles is everything but important there.

its just... quest xp, another quest, more xp, an item, seld for gold... quest, xp.

and about the spiked haired with a giant sword i guess you're talking about Cloud in FF7... wich i guess you have never played, otherwise you'd find out it was probably the best RPG ever made.

I felt emotional when Aeris died... have you ever felt anything while playing your WRPG? :)

And what is the point of RPG to role play. Please tell me how much role playing can be done when you are watching some spiked hair loser with a giant sword in a cut-scene. What a awesome roll playing experience that must be. You all say that WRPGs all you do is kill mobs for xp but you do the same damn thing in all JRPGs. Oh look its time to run around this bland field waiting for a stupid random encounter to go off woot now I get to grind for the next hour so I can beat some other spiked hair loser then I will be able to watch an other cut-scene MAN Im really roleplaying now.anime-2k3

I work for an ISP so obviously I work with alot of PC gamers, and you know they laughed at me when I went on about character development and emotion attatchment etc. in a roleplaying game..

Besides I love JRPG's but I never said them over all, as said KOTOR, Fable etc.. but I have a deep love for JRPG's and besides no JRPG's have random battles really anymore so eh?

Im sorry but Id have to say PC RPG's don't have as much of a point.. They were ok for what they were at the time but they were in a totally different ****of thier own, and I can assure you that the story about that spiky haired fellow has alot more depth than any PC role playing game.. if you actually played youd know there was alot more than just random fights and cutscenes, besides whats wrong with learning the story and having a cinematic experience at the same time, I mean it gives you purpose to play the game if you learn enough about the characters unlike some.. like ok this is you, this is your werapon.. kill things.. like yeah killing is fun but in the long run it will get boring because there is no point or emotional drive to do it... your just speaking out your "A" on that one. I'll agree PC is totally king of RTS games and by prefrence the FPS but still..

Roleplaying on consoles is more so like a book now days as it has alot of depth, alot of story and alot of reading/cutscenes and alot of old school readers like myself have moved on to playing role playing games opposed to reading all the time.. I ike most game genres but RPG would be my favourite by far.. And I totally dig the way consoles and there publishers pull RPG's off opposed to the PC..

As said elder scrolls and Fallout moved onto consoles aswell where they are also suited.. and to be honest hellgate just doesn't look good enough to provoke me to install it on my PC and I would not be surprised if ended up on consoles later anyways.. it looks like a generic PC RPG which I personally do not enjoy as they do not concerntrate on story as much like Oblivon was great but the overall story and its depth was not great, no emotion or attatchment to characters etc.... My PC is pretty much internet utalized and thats about it.. I like Western RPG's like elder scrolls and fallout etc. but as said they lack the depth, emotion and story of some of the JRPG's ive played but considering other WRPG's like KOTOR, Jade Empire, Fable and Mass Effect are branching off from both traditional RPGSand making there own which works really well, but I would play none of those on the PC anyways lol

Now days Roleplaying is owned by console and Real Time Stratagy is owned by the PC... Neither do to well on the oposing machines..

With all that stuff, I'm sure if you look real hard you can get all that for $850. You didn't factor in things though.

CASE, DVD drive, MOUSE, KEYBOARD, and I bet you already had your HDs too and probably your sound card. You cut it down to just what you had to buy to upgrade your PC. Not to mention, everyone can't or is afraid to buy all that stuff online and put together a computer. Only a small percentage actually put together their own computers to save money. Look at more of a Dell or something with those specs, that is what an average person would buy and we are talking $2000 easy. I've been a computer gamer since day one but consoles win everytime because of all the hassle, epecially because of all the mentioned before updates you have to do. Audio, video, and other system drivers you need to keep doing to play newer games. Hassle, hassle, hassle.

What is better PC or PS3?

ghostriderx

It's a matter of price. If you want to spend $1500 for a gaming pc and $200 every year to upgrade it's hardware you'll have the most powerful and versatile gaming machine you can possibly have. On the other hand with a third of that price you get a ps3 that you don't have to upgrade for 4-5 years.
