PC vs. X-Box 360

Post » Tue Feb 08, 2011 12:36 am

I am planning on pre-ordering soon (Caravan pack). What I am trying to decide is whether to go PC or 360.

I am considering the PC version for two reasons. One, I am familiar with the mechanics.I played Fallout 3 on PC but did so about a few months after release, after several patches had been released. Also, while I never really took advantage of mods on Fallout 3, becuase of the bug that interfered after installing the Pitt, I am intrigued by the possibility.

I am considering the 360 version because I like the idea of playing from day 1 with little interference. Considering the fact that they can design for a single set of hardware with the 360, whereas they have to take several things into consideration with PC (operating system, video card, RAM, etc), I like to think the initial copy on 360 will be relatively pain free.

Any thoughts?

Oh. My. God. This is like the fifth PC vs Xbox vs PS3 thread I've seen this week! Second one today!
Anywho, get it for PC, that way you will have mods that can almost triple you hours spent playing.
I will, unfortunately, be playing on Xbox.

Well yes, there is that, but thinking about it logically PC is the clear answer

You should need like 50 posts before you can start a thread, these threads are getting so old.

also PC is the only way to go.

I'm getting it for both eventually. Starting with xbox. .. big comfy couch, nice big t.v., surround sound... and for the most part it keeps me from fiddling with settings. The first thing I do when I get a game on PC is fiddle with it. Change things... Cheat my ass off. I have no self control when it comes to doing things like that. Consoles allow/force me to play the game as the game designers intended. Pc allows me to play as I intend. It's nice to have both.

I pick 360 as its my main video game system and I'm not a big fan of having steam be required to play New Vegas.

360 for the simplicity or PC for the mods. I'm going with the 360.

Perhaps you'd be happier if GFWL was still required to be installed instead. Just remember, it could be alot worse than Steam.

I vote for PC all the way.

PC hands down, mods will guarantee hundred more hours of game play as well as being able to use the G.E.C.K to create your own houses,factions etc. :D

the only things pc has on consoles is mods and better graphics. i dont give a rats a** about graphics, and i only care about mods for FO & TES. a good pc alone is more than a console, i hate playing on a cpu screen and i hate playing with a mouse and keyboard. sure you can do all that stuff on pc, but at that point its getting way too expensive just to have mods for a couple games. regardless of what you think, pc is really not that great. (not to mention the lack of exclusives. the only exclusives pc has are RTS and RPGs, eww

im just sayin. you guys are always so full of yourselves. its getting old.

Well I would not buy it for the PC if

Your PC is crappy
If your PC has problems
If your PC does not have any good specs, such as Video Card, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Unfortunately I have experienced problems with both my XBOX and my PC, so it is a gamble on which one to buy it for, Apparently my XBOX360 is a 4gig, and not a magical higher gig that microsoft expects us to waste our money on, and so I bought that one game, ohh what was its name, ahh yes, Halo:Reach, and it fails to work, due to my 4gigabyte hard drive, so I am now turned off from the 360, because now, in my mind, I know that microsoft is trying to [censored] each and every one of their consumers,

Which is similar to my PC, because it is a Vista, and microsoft likes to [censored] the people that bought their vista's because they want you to upgrade to Windows 7, because of their failure with the windows vista, coincidentally crashed my computer when I ran the updates, little did I know this, after I bought a $60 brand spankin' new Starcraft 2, and after a $120+ video card, and then after running updates, wants to crash, and forces me to Erase Hard Drive and start from scratch, which honestly, I tell you, took days of frustrating work to get to that point, because of the blue screen error before I could run repair, or reboot system.

Any who, when it comes to video games for a console, I am gambling, now gambling $49.99 instead of $59.99, well that is appealing to me, and the fact that I took the time, and money to buy a new video card, and I now have my PC running smoothly (hope I didn't jinx myself) I have already pre-paid for the game on the PC, with the left overs of Halo: Reach, and a few other games

By the way, my system specs are
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel Core Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
3.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

So I stand a good chance on being able to run the game, on some fair quality graphics, hopefully :)
