PC is #1 Foreva!! w00t!

[ATIRAGEPRO]

Ah... But what comes up, must come down. PC's wont be here forever. It's best to enjoy them before they are one day forgotten...

[Icedragon]

are you nuts? computers are the future you know!

[ATIRAGEPRO]

Yeah. Computers, But not platforms. They'll allways be changing, just like everything else will.

[Icedragon]

well duh

[horris1st]

Pc, is better than all the rest put to gether and times by 50.

I like ps2 and the racing games Ex: Gt3 NFS Underground but when it comes to a pc you can play more multiplayer games and the better ones Ex:RCT 2, GZH, so i stick with pc.

consoles have a definite advantage in that developers only have to worry about one system and its capabilites (unless theyre gonna put it out on more systems). also they only have to push 640x480 or whatever tv's are, whereas my pc has to render like 1.7 million more pixels than that, thats like over 5 times as much. (in 1600x1200). i guess thats our own fault but if you were to put any console upto the task there would be no way, but ofc thats not really fair, just throwin it out there.
