Sold My Wii

[The Reclaimer]

When I said the games are for free and for your computer, did I ever say most have high tech requirements? (And believe me, there ARE many high tech requirement free games and programs, you're probably thinking of some really old games)

I suppose I was mainly talking Flash games rather than anything else, so I can admit to being off base.

I meant that if you want to buy a PC you already get two controllers, mouse and keyboard. If you want to buy a new gamepad, then it still costs less than if you'd buy the gamepad to 360. (Last I checked, the difference was almost half less)

Depends on the pad, and where you buy it. Also, the quality. The 360 pad is a nice quality pad.

Durrrrr durrrr keyboard go to monitor slot!

Plugging in the components to a computer is hardly the configuration I'm talking about.

So, instead of the new grpahics card, you DO have to buy the new console, as I was saying. It just is called X box 360: Insert lame tag here

But the console will play a whole gen worth of games without any hardware changes. Based on the base rate of a computer, then the cost of potential upgrades, you're not neccesarily saving money against a console purchase.

So... I should have bought X box 360 just to get Fallout 3?

Not at all. But the point is you needed to pay to upgrade in order to play the game after already paying more for a PC.

Well if you want to use the new version of the same console with new benefits, then yes; you have to buy a new console.

And you're paying for computer upgrades as well by the end of that timeframe.

My father did it for me. Are you too prideful not to let someone with know hows to do it for you? I'm sure you can find people, from that repair place if nowhere else.

No, I'd have no problem asking for help, but then you need to either be fortunate enough to know someone who can build you one for free, or have the money to pay someone to build it for you.

This is quite dumb statement. You can't SERIOUSLY expect a 5 year old computer to run Fall out 3 for PC. That's just....Sad.

I think it's a fairly good thing to point out that even after 5 years a 360 will still play any 360 game. A PC can't do that, you just said that. So by 5 years you're paying to upgrade which is the equivlent to purchasing a console.

The rest of the consoles just aren't as good, so it's easy to be biased when you root fo only the best. :D

And yet you're best, didn't have a very long lasting hook on me. I had fun with Trauma Center (which is better on DS), and Wii Fit was alright, but I was so disappointed with Zelda, and Wii Play sucked. Smash Bros was a disappointment as well. I did enjoy Excite Truck though. However, I've played many 360 games that I've enjoyed. Nothing that was particularly mind blowing but I haven't gotten rid of the 360 yet.

If you have to have it spelled out for you, I was being sarcastic.

Yeah, I got it.

It amuses me that you have a PC, defend 360 so much, bring those shitty features up and then say you don't even use them because you already have a PC.

Yes, I have a PC that I bought forever ago. And I can use it to do lots of things, without ever upgrading it. And I like my 360 even more when I can play games on it, and then use my computer for whatever purpose I'd like without the slighest bit of slowdown, or need to clog the harddrive with my games.

Everyone should always look at tech info. Use common sense again, if a game is really hi tech and you have 3 year old comp, it probably won't run on max settings.

But the 360 games, in a 360, will run as well as possible.

No it's not. Mouse uses wheel/lazer technology and it's stuck to a table. Wii remote is free dimension, held in your hand and you have to tilt, turn, and thrust it to do things.

Yes, in games.

Weren't we talking about games anyway? Why are you pointing out what Wii does when it's not playing games?

Why were you pointing out what a PC does when it's not playing games?

I'd like to know your defination for revolutionary because seemingly you consider 360 games more revolutionary.

I consider a revolutionary game one that has more than a new input. Yes, creative and new input is a plus. But a really revolutionary game needs a good story to backup that gameplay. It needs to offer plenty of variety and still execute well on all accounts. I haven't played a truly revolutionary game on the 360, but I certainly didn't play one on the Wii either.

They actually tried to put different kind of joystics and gamepads that'd vibrate on sales but they never sold well because PC users like to play using keyboard+Mouse and maybe some times with regular gamepad.

So it's fine for PC to stay where it is because users prefer it, but because people who play consoles like to use gamepads, that's bad?

Aside buying 600$ pc

That won't play any of the games I want it too, and not in HD to boot.

Which is a fact. Some people just don't seem to realize it.

No, it's an opinion, and that's a fact.

Why do you keep repeating what I say, like Solid Snake?

Because it costs money to have a PC that will play these games.

Bullshit, in most cases the differences are INSANELY huge. Just run something that's released on both 360 and PC on a 360 and then on PC and compare the loading times and the frame rate. It is NOT ignorable when you can get almost immediattely into the game as opossed to watching a "Now loading" screen for few mins.

And what's the cost on a computer that runs a game so much better? You're not talking about running a game at average settings. And the only reason you don't have to look at a loading screen is because you have to install the game. I'd rather look at that loading screen than fill my computer up with installs for games I won't play a year from now.

Yeah, because you have a 5 year old comp and don't want to upgrade it.

Or because my PC has been perfectly fine for everything and need it to be, and so while I haven't spent another $1000 upgrading it for gaming, I did only spend $600 on a console that plays games perfectly well.

I'm not arguing that, but for the same cost, it could (not neccesarily will) be the same cost of a console.

But we already established you have somewhat modern comp so you most likely only need one upgrade like I did. It cost 50€ to upgrade my comp to run Fallout 3 and not the hundreds that would have been if I had bought 360.

Well, my 360 hooks up to my HD tv, and I have the whole HDMI thing going, so I would say to get my computer, which is very basic, it would cost a bit. In fact, I'd say a quality monitor that puts out the quality picture my TV does would run $300+ on its own.
