Answer 1

PC will always beat the consoles in graphics. For gaming just get a quad core processor, 6 to 8 gigs of ram, a Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 TI or higher video card, 700 watt power supply and you should be good to go, thats what I have. :) You will be able to play all the games coming out for years to come. Don't forget to get Windows 7 64bit.

I might say i am fortunate given that even though i've had a console all my existence i've additionally had a computer all my lifestyles. I enjoy Console and laptop gaming just as a lot as each other however listed below are my ideas. Laptop gaming by and large gets each recreation that consoles get except it's wonderful to a console, pc's have higher graphical capabilities so long as it might probably run, even though if any individual is trying to play a online sport and it starts offevolved to lag it can be unfair if someone has a better computer than you and can play the game smoother and with the images on max, the keyboard and mouse suck as controllers but are best for some video games, like Command and overcome or World of Warcraft as you've gotten the whole thing you want one button away whereas consoles more often than not need to press more than one thing to get everything they want, additionally despite the fact that the keyboard and mouse sucks, it will possibly effectively be accelerated by way of without problems shopping a xbox wired controller and making use of that. Pc's need the video games to be installed to, so until you have got excellent reminiscence say goodbye to a few of your games to make means for a brand new one. Consoles are first-rate too normally they just fail to see recreation from their rival consoles i.E. PS3 does no longer have Halo 4 however xbox does now not have God of struggle and neither have Zelda or Mario video games off Wii and other Nintendo consoles, whereas laptop misses out on just about the whole thing, they don't seem to be getting Halo 4 they shouldn't have God of battle and also you can not play Zelda or whatever except you use a emulator, even though i guess WoW can not be performed on console. I at all times in finding that im leaving my controller on charge continually or it runs out rapidly too. The online gaming appears to be extra fair than computer although as the one factor is your connection to the game particularly as all consoles run as quick as every different and also you cannot strengthen them, which can also be bad considering that you caught utilising the same old computer except they make a brand new higher computing device, whereas pc that you could remove add-ons and beef up them always. Both computer and Consoles have professional's and con's I simply don't see why humans hate so much, apart from every body knows gaming is the worst on IPad's/IPhones/IPod's! :P

Answer 3

Here's my two cents.



First off, PC takes the cake. For many, many reasons. However, consoles are great, and I will list all the pros/cons of all of them.



PC: Pro's



Customization,

Graphics,

Cost of Games (in most cases it is cheaper)

Bigger Online Games (for example Battlefield 3, on PC it was 64 players on XBOX it was 32)

Mods,

Bigger Game Community (Literally every game is on PC, except for a very few exclusives, and only a tiny amount of MMORPG's can be played on a console)

Better Community (my personal opinion)



Cons:



Cost of Hardware (To run games that need high-end video cards and all that is expensive)

A lot more difficult for gamers (The joystick is generally easier for beginners)

Cooperative (Can't do split screen)





Xbox: Pro's



Cost efficient ($300 or so compared to in the 1000's for a good computer)

Halo (one of the greatest games in the world, in my humble opinion)

Split-screen

Easier to begin with

Good support



Con's



Games cost more

Red Ring of Death

Less Customization

Less Games

No Modding

Have to pay for online

Annoying interface (in my opinion)

Community is filled with swearing 12 year olds (my opinion)





PS3: Pro's



Exactly the same as the XBOX's, but also

Don't have to pay for online

Apparently, quite a nice community.

A lot of exclusive games (Resistance, God of War, Uncharted, Killzone)

Can run one or two MMO's (DC Universe Online)



Cons:



Exactly the same as XBOX's, minus the community, paying for online, the interface and RROD.





So, my recommendation is PC. I play it all the time, have an XBOX and never use that. It is a matter of preference though, so there is my opinion.

Answer 4

you dont need to upgrade every year with a PC i only upgrade roughly every 3 years is plenty each new bit of hPC hardware isnt much different to each other thats why i generally wait a few years for my pc to get old and always stays better then a console and is cheaper. say if i buy a new GPU today next year there will be more newer ones that arent too much more powerful but if i wait 3 years tehn there will be more of a difference but over the 3 years my pc is still better then any console.

Answer 5

In general, pc is the best. Yes you'll be paying a lot more to upgrade as time goes by, but you have better graphics for it in almost all cases, as well as access to mods and such that are just not available on consoles.



Idk how the ps3 and the xbox measure up, but in the case of dark souls (originally made for ps3 but ported to xbox), the xbox version had more fps issues at times.



As for "one time investment", not so much. You'd essentially be forced to buy the newest console(s) in a few years anyways.

Answer 6

Is pc gonna be more superior since the graphics card come every year, but for ps3 or 360 its gonna remain same.





you answered your own question guy..

Answer 7

Well i think that console gaming is better, because its much easier to play with friends. And PC gaming is good, for solo play for me. And i don't really upgrade my computer at all, i never needed to. If you buy a console all you have to do is buy games. So you will probably spend more on PC, memberships and all.
