I was mainly only talking about the Wii’s controller being close to mouse aiming in that the aiming thing moves as fast as you can move your hands and not limited by “sensitivity” settings like a joystick is. But the Wii is only limited by what game companies can come up with. They think it has a kid image so they make kid games. It’s not like if you tried to make a more adult game on the Wii the console will explode or something. Resident Evil 4 on Wii is awesome and so are the Metroid Prime games. And I’m sorry, I’m not a kid, but I LOVE Mario games and always have.

I used to play the original Rainbow Six games then Rogue Spear back in the day. Too bad Redstorm was bought out by Ubisoft…

@NHOJ

The game has absolutely nothing to do with the movie in any way, they have different characters, weapons, vehicles, story, factions… etc. And it should come out 2mths (I think) before the movie.

the ones i love most on consoles are counter-strike, cs source, call of duty modern warfare, bioshock and fallout 3.

@fenix

if you haven’t played fallout 3 i would check it out. it’s pretty sweet.

Well I’m not trying to convince you to change anything, it’s just a counter to your point that PC gaming is more expensive, just trying to show that it isn’t. Not everyone knows how to build computers, most people would just go out and buy one, and to buy one like I spec’ed would probably cost closer to $1000, or more, although I’ve actually seen some pretty decent deals on whole computers too. Like someone else have said, you can get a computer with the graphical power of consoles now for about $300 if you keep an eye out for deals.

I’m not saying that you and everyone else should get into PC gaming, although that would be nice because that would mean more games with the increased demand, I’m just stating the reasons why I’m into it and not into console gaming. Consoles are much more convenient than PC gaming, but overall it costs more to be a console gamer, and I’m simply not willing to pay more just for the convenience.

My friend just got a Xbox 360, and we’ve been playing Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 on it, which is pretty blah in my opinion, and if you want to hear me cursing up a storm, just watch me play, I really hate trying to aim with a joystick, lol. The mouse is so much more precise in shooters than the joystick… That might be another reason why I’ve stuck with PC’s, I love shooters, and nothing beats the mouse for aiming, nothing yet at least… The Wii comes close, but it’s still a pain to turn beyond the edge of the screen, with the mouse, turning all the way around takes about a blink of an eye’s time, lol. Useful if you’re being attacked by a zombie, lol.

Do you play Left 4 Dead?

Ok well you sold me on that I might have to upgrade here in the near future but I’m still standing by my beloved consoles! By the way I’m watching blu rays on my comp without a burner, its called Azureus sonnn

@Mike, why buy a new case and optical drive? You have one right? Reuse the parts you can reuse.

Core i7 920 CPU goes for around $270-$280
3x2G DDR3 memory (triple channel instead of Dual Channel now) goes for around $100
X58 motherboard: $170
ATI 4890: $170-$200

Which brings it to around $720 Newegg is my friend. Also check mwave.com and zipzoomfly.com but Newegg is usually the cheapest or very close to it.

I just keep checking slickdeals.net for deals on harddrives, because there are new ones every week.

It was cheaper last week because they had some great deals on the 4890, keep an eye out on slickdeals.net, there are ALWAYS deals. I actually bought a Sapphire 4890 1GB last week. Oh yah, I cheated on the price of the Core i7 buld because I already had the 4890, so don’t have to get that, oops, I just realized that, it should be around $800 total.

Prices will keep dropping on video cards because nVidia is releasing a new video card soon. Also, replace the 4890 with the 4870, and you can save close to $80-$100 off that, bringing the total down to the $700′s and if you need a new power supply, you can get good ones from like OCZ for like $40 at like 700W or so.

When I upgrade my computer to the Core i7 specs I just talked about, I might get another 4890 and crossfire them, lol. It’ll be faster than consoles two generations from now, LMAO!

I also bought the LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD DVD-R burner combo drive for $100 a few weeks ago, so I can play Blu Rays and HD-DVD’s, which you can find cheap cheap now since that format died, lol. And with a $100 tv tuner I can turn my computer into a DVR.

PC, Movie player, game console, DVR, all in one!

Now compare that to doing things the conventional way:

Buy a Dell PC or Laptop: $600-$800
Xbox360 or PS3: $300-$400
Accessories for the console: $50-$100
Premium on console games: $10-$20 each game (they cost that much more tan the PC version)
DVR: $150-$300

You can see which option is cheaper right away…

If you want to build a computer from scratch, a decent no-frills case would cost you very little, $40-$100, an optical drive would be $30-$100 depending on what you want, keyboard and mouse $10-$50. The most expensive part would be the monitor, but if you already have a hi-def TV, just use that as the monitor, most video cards have HDMI outputs now anyway…

So play your PC games on your however many inch tv you have.

You all sound like little kids, squabbling like this over the merits of PC/Console gaming. PC gaming is great, console gaming is great. Both have their merits and their downfalls but both are great.

There. See how simple that was?

Also, where’s my movie trailer damnit? I find it hilarious that we’re seeing elements of this movie being revelaed to us through videogame screenshots of all things.

sorry

how much is a ps3 $499, You can get a pc that runs crysis for $500. Games on the pc is also cheaper than console games. What people paying for these days for console game $70 to $100. Pc games sell around $50 tops only CE games sell for $100.
