I wanted to buy a PS4 because of my love for soccer games until I played PES 15 for pc via HDmi on Sony bravia TV,it's pure Heaven shocked and I even check the gameplay on YouTube versus ps4 and it was the same, even pes 15 for pc was better because it can be easily modded.so for now I'm rocking my pes 15 pte 8.0

I'm currently an owner of the PS2, PS3 & Xbox 360. I didn't get my PS3 until the slim came out, plus at the time Sony messed up with the EU release of the PS3, so I was still pissed off at them. Then I got my 360 'cause I wanted to play Assassins Creed & I was still pissed off at Sony (this might have been 2006-2008, I can't remember). I only finally got my PS3 slim in 2010/11, I was less pissed with Sony by then and the pre-owned slim had reduced to £200 (haven't touched my 360 since then). I'm usually very patient. I'm always happy to wait for a better deal. The only reason I've been rather angsty to get a PS4 is for certain exclusives (like Uncharted 4) and I really want to play The Witcher 3. Plus, the fact I test games on the current gen platform, also doesn't help. There are games I've spent a good deal of time looking for, only to discover that they are not available on the PS3, they're only available as digital downloads (which usually means full price. PSN UK can be a downright bastard), or they aren't available yet (different developers different ports, see Mortal Kombat X).

Dynasty Warrors 8: Empires practically looks the same on the previous gen and current gen. The developers for that one are just lazy, infact there are times the thing can give off a PS2 vibe during active gameplay. I don't think they've actually changed much at all, in general for the whole Dynasty Warriors franchise. There's a reason why exclusives like the original God of War games look fantastic on the PS2 or the Uncharted trilogy look fantastic on the PS3. The developers know how those consoles work. You can't blame the console, when the third party developer don't seem to understand the console better (they always seem to understand the Xbox 360, Xbox One & PC better maybe it's the fact that they use PCs to make games & Microsoft technically runs all of them). See Sleeping Dogs that had almost 1GB patch for the PS3 and a few megabytes worth for the 360...this patch was released a day after the game was released. Meaning the developers/publishers went gold with shoddy material.




True games like Sunset overdrive, Forza, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Playstation just lacking

You do know The Witcher 3 is on PS4, right? I'm not perturbed about driving games. Sunset Overdrive is an entertaining game, but I refuse to pay for Xbox Live & I still have a long memory from Microsoft pre-launch clusterf**k - the whole 1984 steez with the Kinect & daily online checkup, the fact they only wanted it to only be available in the original 22 launch countries (basically if you bought a Polish XO, it wouldn't work in UK, until it was released in the UK...in other words, countries like Nigeria would have been screwed) or that nonsense when they wanted to hinder the sales of pre-owned discs (a move so silly, that Sony replied with an epic video). I've simply grown to tolerate the Xbox One because I use it at work. Why do I need to be online to know my achievements? Why can't it automatically unlock and THEN update to the online servers, when I'm online? That's a real pet peeve of mine. The Xbox Help function seems slightly redundant, it's basically a website that has all the stuff from the manual, you could find that in the title AND/OR in the physical manual. I'm not exactly chatting to an actual customer service advisor...

My initial plan was to eventually get both due to exclusives, but they've only been 2 XO exclusives I would like to own - Sunset Overdrive & Spectra. Microsoft will probably keep milking their golden goose, Halo, until it starts laying bricks instead of golden eggs.

On the exclusive front, what exclusive MS hack & slash game has ever come close to God of War? I remember looking for something of that calibre for my 360, but folks kept recommending Conan, usually with a sigh & telling me not to bother...Let's be honest, Microsoft would kill to have Naughty Dog (Uncharted, The Last of Us, Jak & Daxter) on their roster. Just because Xbox owners were finally able to enjoy GTA after years of neglect and that the latest Tomb Raider will be a timed exclusive on XO, does not suddenly make them winners. Still can't believe Shenmue 3 is going to happen and Microsoft didn't even lend a helping hand. But Sony stepped up, even though none of the previous releases were released on PS.

Hardware on a laptop is hardly repairable, and any motherboard ish is a deal breaker
Re: PC Gaming Vs Console Gaming by basille(m): 7:13pm On Jul 23, 2015
I think the best is both.
Since most Xbox games are on PC and chances are that one would need a laptop for their daily activities, why not get a decent gaming laptop that can handle most modern titles at medium settings with an Xbox 360 controller. That way you use your laptop for a little Xbox gaming and your other activities and also some Xbox exclusives are on PC.

Then get a PS4.

Wrong choice of words on my side. I meant for normal gaming which most people don't see a PC for.

Re: PC Gaming Vs Console Gaming by makavele: 9:16am On Jul 24, 2015
if u r a hardcore gamer, then you know PC gaming is d way to go . .

just get parts off eBay and build yourself a gaming rig . . $700 usd will do for decent gaming even at 1080p (with good frames). . .

connect to a HD TV via HDMI and game off !!!

gaming on PC gives better control in First person shooters . . cos u can easily aim and shoot with your mouse . . as opposed to aiming with your

analog stick on the console . . . And when you're not gaming, yu can actually use the PC for other stuffs . . that's where productivity comes in !!!
