XL vs. PC


Ok I just got inspired to make a topic about this.

Which would (I say would because not everyone here has Live) you rather play games on:

Xbox Live or PC?

Me personally, Live. I have it, and it really fuckin owns when everyone has a headset. I have always loved playing with controllers compared to keyboard/mouse. It's amazing to play online with a friend over, and games runs oh-so-smooth on an Xbox. Barely any lag, and it's not like you have to keep upgrading an Xbox.

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

How about...lag?

Practically non-existant on Live (happens a wee-bit with really laggy servers). On PC though, you can be running any beast you want, on any connection, but there will always be lag.

Oh ya, and prices...Xbox - 200$. PC - 2k originally + upgrades...you do the math .

I agree with Everay, overall, PC has better titles. Overall. But alot of the PC games are making their way to Xbox: RTCW, Crimson Skies, the Mech series. Vice versa too, as you can see with Halo.

Mech assault is a shame to battletech, it is nothing like the boardgame in any way, all it copies are weapon names, mech names, and the way they look.

PC beats consoles in almost every respect. Better games, more games, games that can be patched and upgraded, expansion packs, mods, custom maps, more people to play with, etc. I would take PC over console any day. If you'd rather have Live over PC then you probably just aren't making the most of your PC.

Mouse and keyboard controls are the sole reason I stay away from all console games.
