360 vs pc: is it worth it switch from the 360 to the pc if m

Post » Sat Sep 29, 2012 3:27 am

moderators: i dont know if you would be opposed to me posting this here, but the reason im posting this in skyrim general descussions is because posting it on another subforum would be biased. mainly because the mod subforum or creation kit subforum consist soley of pc gamers, so please excuse me for posting it here, i deeply apologize and ask that you not move it for at least 24 hours

so ive been going around from thread to thread and cite to cite and have been learning a lot about my pc compatability. its a laptop, and its primary function isnt gaming.

so now i just want to know, is it worth it to switch and spend 60 dollars? and if i had an hdmi cord outputting the game to an LED screen, would the graphics be the same as the 360 or worse while functioning on a decent level.

here are the specs:
? AMD Quad-Core processor A6-3420
?AMD Radeon HD 6520G with 512 MB Graphics system memory
?750 GB HDD
?15.6" 16:9 HD LED LCD
?DVD-Super multi drive
?windows 7


please be honest, $60 can go a long way and id rather not waste it
thank you in advance :biggrin:

i plan on downloading mods, btw

oh yeah, if you dont have anything to say that is relevant or valuable to me or other members on the thread, i ask that you have mercy on our sanity and not post at all. for example, "i dont like you" or "i going to answer your question by saying that i dont have to answer your question, because youre on the wrong forum :user: blah blah blah (mimicki tone)".

Edit: 4 gb ddr3 memory

It looks like you have half a gig of memory, you need at least 4 gigs.

Hard to say. if you were planning on playing Skyrim on the PC without any mods and due to the capabilities of your computer it ran Skyrim on minimum specs... I'd lean towards getting it on the 360.

I know myself it Skyrim on my PC looked the same as it does on my PS3 I'd probably ONLY stick to the PC because of the DLC that has not been made available to PS3 owners. But the 360 gets everything the PC guys get as far as DLC... Now if you want to try some mods... maybe start a screen shot folder to document your characters adventures. PC all the way.
