Which platform do you game on most?

***Veridian3*** · Jan 9, 2008, 06:44 PM

In this post festive period which platform are you most playing on?

[hobo]eclipse · Jan 9, 2008, 07:14 PM

PC FTW!!! love me some mods and tweaking!

Zelig · Jan 9, 2008, 07:16 PM

PC exclusively.

If I was going to get a console, the Wii is the only one I'd be interested in.

riles9262 · Jan 10, 2008, 04:27 AM

Right now, my ds and gamecube. Pc occasionally.

**MIG-31** · Jan 10, 2008, 12:33 PM

Exclusively PC now... The 360 is certainly a good piece of hardware but sold that a couple of months ago.

Customgamer1 · Jan 10, 2008, 04:34 PM

I am playing the 360!

Maybe in a few years I will switch back to PC once I get some money lol!

Markius · Jan 25, 2008, 12:09 AM

360 mainly. i play some games on PC (but nothing high end), games like civ4 & expansions, caesar4, WoW and a few others.
i dont have the cash to keep upgrading my pc and considering you can buy 2 360s for the price of a decent video card alone, i wont be getting into high end pc gaming anytime soon

Dark Lord · Jan 25, 2008, 01:15 AM

PC for me right now. i actually just dusted off my gamecube in well over a year for some Resident Evil and RE4.

my ps2 hasnt seen much use since FF12 came out.

BlueMak · Jan 25, 2008, 01:42 AM

PC daily. 360 every few days.

tanka12345 · Dec 21, 2008, 05:39 AM

I use PC daily and DS every few weeks as it got boring after a while (I need some new games).

MadPt · Jan 3, 2009, 04:26 PM

PC, no doubt! Not much of a console fan

Nothing against them but PC is so much better, imo!

But i do have a PS3 and also enjoy playing in it... sometimes

Mourgolikos · Jan 5, 2009, 02:39 AM

I am using PC for gaming because of two reasons.
1) Mouse
2) 100+ buttons - Keyboard

If i want a gamepad i can use it in my PC.
Also in PC i can find most of the games of my favorite gametypes.

Tril · Jan 5, 2009, 05:00 AM

My Xbox 360 mainly. After that, my pc. For fps games that require precision aiming, I prefer the pc to play with a mouse.

I played a lot of NHL 09 on Xbox 360 with brothers and friends during the holidays.

I have a Wii but after playing through Zelda and playing a bit of other games, I stopped using it.
I've got a ps2 and many partially completed games but I've lost interest in playing them.

Mr cairo · Jan 5, 2009, 11:56 AM

mainly the PS3 now

Mac Daddy · Jan 6, 2009, 12:57 AM

I game mostly on the PC myself so got my vote ... although Wii is fun with a bunch of people

Customgamer1 · Jan 6, 2009, 01:35 AM

PC is still my favorite, but the game selection keeps getting smaller and smaller

Yes it does or releases are delayed months after the console game releases

ditto on that one guys

blibbax · Jan 7, 2009, 05:26 PM

This sample is a little biased I fear. I vote PC though.

Why so many for Xbox 360? I don't have a console (except PS2 as DVD player), but I'd rather a PS3 any day. I used to game a little on the PS2, and I'm not sure I'd even rather have a 360 than that - I've tried them out a few times at friend's houses, and been pretty unimpressed. Each to their own though, PC FTW!

it's not i don't think. you can only vote once. and while PC is the obvious winner in the overal gaming aspect of things, it just shows how much more popular the 360 is in the console gaming world

Well you have to look at the users on this forum lol.

This is Driverheaven where everyone is obsessed with computers and technology. It is clear the PC is going to win lol.

Now if this was put in a car forum, or any other non tech based toward computers I would have to think a system would win.

On a side note. My bro who really does not care about anything about FPS, how good your video card is etc. So when he comes up and tells me after coming home from college and playing COD 4 and a few sports games on a PS3 and tells me it's LAGGY there is a problem lol. He say's it gets all slow and stuff when there are lots of explosions and what not and very unimpressive. He likes the 360 better.

CDsDontBurn · Jan 8, 2009, 02:45 AM

when a ps3 is "laggy" then yes. that is definately a problem, lol

Tril · Jan 8, 2009, 03:24 AM

There's slowdowns on the Xbox 360 too. In NHL 09, when the camera focuses on the bench and shows the players from close up, it slows down. When you do a big magical attack in Blue Dragon, it slows down. Apart from the occasional issue like that, the games are usually free from slowdowns. It's the job of the programmers to make games that can run on the console.

I agree the 360 is not perfect, but even on the graphic tests and what not the PS3 always comes in last place.

PC 1, Xbox 3 in 2nd and PS3 in 3rd. Wii is not included in most tests because it's not an HD system.

Iria · Jan 10, 2009, 07:50 PM

PC and Wii.

Ignore the text - it's gamespot - but take a look at the the pictures. There's surprisingly little difference IMO.

Little difference? wtf

The PS3 looks TERRIBLE on those images if you ask me, the 360 looks alright but the PC is the clear winner. Just look at the trees for the 360 and PS3, that's not a tree that's a cardboard cutout

I'd disagree strongly there, but this is all a matter of opinion, and bias might even be creeping in too.

PC i certainly the clear winner, but I honestly don't care for the minute difference between PS3 ans Xbox360 - they look different, not better or worse IMHO.

i would actually agree with mousey here. PC is obviously the best because it has the best hardware of course (if the best hardware is used

), but where the the better graphics comes out into play is in the finer details. like bushes look more like bushes in that order PC > 360 > ps3. less jaggies, etc. all in that order
