Hi all, I am not sure where to post this but hope this is the correct place.
I had been planning to get a gaming set for myself but I am stuck choosing between a PC or a PS3.

Basically I like PC cause:
I had more prefered game on the PC than the PS3.
I like using keyboard and mouse over the PS3 controller.

I might not favor PC cause:
Is much expensive than PS3 to get respective equal performance
Scare of performance drop over different games cause i am a noobs in handling PC

I like PS3 cause:
Is cheaper
Is straight-forward, load your games and play

I might dislike it cause:
Less interested games over the PS3 which suit my taste
I dont like the controller

I hope anyone who had both can give me an idea which one you prefer more actually. Kindly share your experience on both selection. ANyone who can help are welcome to drop some comment too.

Thank for any helps in advance

Cheer

pc

never gonna regret
if you get ps3, just wait till ps4 is released and....

PC, cause you can get a cheaper bargain when it comes to custom built under 2ks.
its easy to get a high end rig under that budget, mine running crysis at super high, no prob.

IF you got the cash, go for PS3
gotta be very picky about games, expensive.

Bro, i think u need pc more. Because pc can do more things than the ps3. And believe me, u will spend more time with the pc.

It's just a wrong place to ask.If you ask at PC section,most of us will say PC.The console section forumer will say PS3 or XBox 360.

PC for me.RTS dont work with game pad.

get urself a gaming pc.

well, i have both, and all i need to say is that my ps3 is collecting dust, sure when i 1st bought it, i played it everyday, but now it's practically a white elephant...so yeah at this moment in time go for a pc

PS3 is good now, but its going to be like 1-2 years before PS4 arrives, by that time, PC already moved on several generations of graphics tech.

go 4 pc,.,..,~ can get ton of game in cheaper price.,,.
blu ray to expensive, still dont have "ehem ehem" one,.,.~

You see ah.. PS3 will last for 2 more years or so.. But the problem is that PS3 and XBOX360 graphics are stagnant. It's quality can't get any higher already. Check any game... Fallout 3 for example. You see that PC graphics far nicer than 360 and PS3. So your PC also can last very long. Just don't set everything to "ultra high" lor.

The only reason I would get a 360 or PS3 is just because of the jRPG and games on them.. *shudders* Must resist temptations XD

Ps4 1-2 years? It took about 8-10 years for a PS3 to come la lar bro....

PC...u can work, on9, do whatsoever man. seriously PC. And it will last long time also.

PC all the way...also depends what kind of game you like first...if you like 2 play arcade type of game like super mario games, then PS3 is better...if you like 2 play fps or rpg or strategy then PC is 4 you

bro, there are 2 reason for you to buy pc.

1. starcraft 2 on the way
2. diablo 3 on the way

personally, i dun mind to own a pc just for these 2 games.

actually its under development if im not mistaken, its just some major hardware/firmware upgrades to the ps3
and to top that, they're already thinking bout ps5 and 6

http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/111789...il-ps4-in-2008/

there were people telling me how playable RTS like C&C:TW was on Xbox360.

but that's just C&C la. RTS and gamepad is a lousy combo.

it will take just about 1 or 2 year the PS3 graphic sure outdated... and become useless
while PC player can upgrade a better graphic card which the graphic are much damm better than Ps3

how bout the 360?

oh wait...thats ancient

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=617368

might wanna read that.

same la, very fast outdated 1.
if u ask... 360 and PS3, sure i tell u is 360.... can play pirated and the game is cheaper(ori)

true true, wonder if i should wait for xbox 720? lol

It might work for games like TW or even RA3 but it will definitely wont play RTS like Sup Com,CoH,Rome:Total War,DoW etc.I think games with complex strategies wont work on a console because of the gamepad.It's not flexible enough.

Besides,360's C&C3:TW only support 4 players and have much smaller maps.Some of the gameplay modes wont even work on PC.

Do correct me if im wrong.

Using voice command like end war. Thats next gen experience for RTS console C:

Yeah,but it will still limited to small scale combat.How would you manage a large army in games like Sup Com or micro a few tanks in CoH with your voice and a gamepad ?

lol , ps3 hear u guy say no ahem ahhem versino , totally not worth it.

pc is great.
but hardware requirement is always increasing , playstation no need upgrade hardware unless new player is out.

RTS is best for PC, no doubts. I'm just saying RTS on console should prefer to be played with voice commands, but in a smaller scale battle.

Definitely,RTS are made for PC,not consoles.

i can't imagine playing SupCom on consoles.

i spent 8hrs on one skirmish lol

isnt consoles now can put usb keyboard and mouse?

anyway, go for pc

like i meantion earlier... that y console graphic are so sucky
u can still play new games on old pc, u will get sucky graphic, but u got choice to upgrade it, unlike console = no choice

Actually PS2 was 6 years old when PS3 came out. Not PS2 is already 2 years. But I doubt PS4 will be out anytime soon. Atleast another 4 years.

For me I personally prefer my PS3 cause a computer is too hard to maintain. It may be high end now, it won't be in a year. As for consoles, consoles are consoles. You don't really have to worry about hardware. Graphics now is as good as it goes. Any better is just a bonus in my eyes.

If your into RTS then by all means get a PC.

PC is actually easy to meet the high ends imo IF you don't always go for max settings

Just get this years high end hardware

Then wait out for another lets say 4-5 years before upgrading?

PC

Yea, but sometimes it kinda sucks that you know you're not playing to the max capacity the game can give.

well, ps3 is using old graphics card anyway. todays games, people are more keen on graphical thingy compared to gameplay. look at crysis, assassin creed, and so on. despite people b****ing about how simple and repetitive the actions were, the games sold very well. since crysis for example is the best benchmarking games out there. PC is the tool for benchmark fans. why do we need to benchmark on consoles anyway since we have the same points?

The main thing about this options is that which games do you play most? There are some genres you play most on PC or maybe on PS3. Up to your liking.

Yeap.. Get a Pc, it will last you long enough. It has everything you need

If you love FPS games, get a Pc then.

-end-

I sincerely thank everyone who given their opinion, although mostly supporting the PC, guess i posted this in the wrong section. However, I think is still alright, as long as the opinions are not bias.

I understand most of the best features on the PC that got to offer. Now is time to voice out my doubt.

1. I like RTS, grow up with RA1 and RA2, WCTFT, SC1 and also many amazing RTS. I was no doubt eager for SC2 and the RPG Diablo3 as well. Like one mentioned, I would just get the PC for these games. But I had been waiting for so long, and there seem to be no news on when these games would release. If Blizzards would just announce they release next month, I will not be posting this here, PC all the way.
On the other hand, I like adventure action games as well like Dead Space (Played on my freind house, awesome, although i know i can get it for pc, but i will get to that later), MGS4, GTA4, AitD, Silent Hill 5, Siren:NT, etc. I know some of it, i can played it on the PC as well, but the problem is, I am quite a noobs in adjusting performance of gaming over the PC. With PS3, i know everything will run smooth, just load and play. But for PC, i might need to adjust this adjust that to feel the non-lag experience, thumb down this and that to get the best spec, and risk of performance drop too. That the real No 1 concern.

2. My next concern will be getting the best PC. I been doing research over the past 2 weeks, and saw so many variaty of hardware and gadget over the PC. I been away from PC for quite sometimes now. So I am alittle lost, and i remember last time, power supply is just power supply, now even the PSU broken into various range and not cheap too. And the more i calculated for a decent PC, as accordance to Goldfried webs reccomendation, its probably cost around RM2000-RM3000, which is far more expensive than the PS3. The real thing is, I wanted to get PC, but with minimal experience of hardware purchasing and manipulation of the setting everytime i wanted to play games, seem to be one of a cons for me.

3. Thirdly, I am going to play this on my HDReady LCD TV 37". Somehow, my instinct tell me to get something fit my TV, which is the console? I am just too afraid too many issues appear when i try to hook the PC to the TV, as i am not too technical on this issue.

4. As for ah hem games, PC does help a lot to save money although i dont mind buying Ori games for PS3. But in this case, PC seem to win although i need to apologize for thinking this way, By all mean, support Ori.

5. Console life line is also a problem, cause like what everyone said, PS4 coming in 2 years? This might all goes by speculation, but if PS4 really comes in 2 years, what about PC? Do you think the time a PC got outdated much faster than a console? If i try to get a RM2000++ PC, do you think i might need to overhaul the PC after 2 years to replace most of the hardwares to keep up with the gaming tech?

6. I had bad experience on PC, always stuck on system unable to play this and that games, too much hectic in cracking and installation, sudden performace drop during midgameplay, etc. Probably i am too noob to handle a PC, but I got other thing to handle in life, time spent to investigate this and that really killing my time, and I just want to play a game

7. GOd i like keyboard and mouse, been growing up with them. Not to say i hate the PS3 controller, i own a PS2 as well. But somehow, I totally agree RTS and FPS suck with PS3 controller.

8. As for more thing to do on the PC, like online, net surfing etc, I also got a moderate laptop to do all those work.

As from the above, please advice and give some enlightment, thank you very much in advance. Also thank for keeping this topic healthy

get ps3

but the controller...no comment, since x360 rrod case stil high


and for PC, just go for mid-end

This post has been edited by pikacu: Nov 28 2008, 09:39 AM

but halo wars (RTS) would onli be on console...


ya...by all means get 1 that would suit u most
onli u noe wat u wan...
s for AC, GoW and so...it available too on console...if u can stand playing wif console...

so u can get a console...play all de games it offer...with max eye candy (which it give la) till de nx nx gen is out
s for ps3 u still can hav de option to install linux

if not jus get a pc lo...
like stephen chow show "alwis not centre...(for a coin la)"
so its either a. PC or b. console

That is the line. Depends on what type of game you like to play.

Anyway, PS3 graphics may be "dated" compared to the higher end PCs, but to me graphics are just fine there. As I said, any better will just be a bonus for me. I prefer gameplay and action games, tps. And those suit playstation better.

i choose PC...
and i want to ask Q to others...
where can i find the device to convert my ps2 controller to usb??
is it can be done??
can specific where can i buy the thingy?

By the way, the PS3 supports USB keyboards and mice.

However, back to the topic. Most ppl who buy consoles aren't into the tweaking and upgrading efforts. Myself for example, now that I have a family it's difficult to allocate the budget to all the upgrades that will come with newer games. So I got myself a PS3. One time purchase, I know I'm good for at least 3-4 years. I know when I buy a game it will DEFINITELY WORK without cracking etc. For surfing, doing work, I bought a secondhand desktop for RM600. Good enough for me.

Again, it's the games that count. If you like RTS, then go for PC anyday. If you like what the offerings are on PS3 (Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Little Big Planet etc) then buy one.

I totally agree with you, with family, i do find is hard to upkeep your PC from time to time, especially software related. I dont even know how to format a PC, i humbly admit this. That is why, I wanted something which is much easier for me, load and play.
The real doubt i had now is the control, i know for now, only UT3 support k+m and i just dont like ps3 controller. My friend told me i will get use to it, i try dead space, and i like the m+k combo better than the controller pad.
And another thing is the most wanted games i am going to miss, which is diablo 3 and SC2, same goes to RA3 too.

However, thank for ther opinion posted so far.

you can build mid-end cheap PC, such as E8400/6000+ with HD4670

When D3 or Starcraft2 comes then get a mid range computer. It should be able to run both the games without a problem. And I agree with Lord_Ashe.

I just can't be bothered to upgrade the PC. Just pop and play, maybe for the install for some games. And I don't have to worry about it not working. It works 99.9% of the time!

I would suggest you get a PC. The reasons are:

1) Your playing style. If your play a lot of RTS and FPS. Keyboard and mouse is still the best.
2) PC graphics are quite good already. You don't need to play every game at highest setting.
3) PC can be used for other things too like word processing, bittorrent, programming, graphics etc
4) Its easier to repair a broken PC. Buy a new component and put it in.
5) If you're they type of people that like to hack the games for money, item etc. PC is easier to do with memory editors available.
6) The original games for PC is still cheaper than PS3. Not to mention there are even more *ahem* game for PC
7) Try to learn how PC works. It might pave a way for a good career.


I had both PC and PS3, basically FPS game would be in PC. I only use PS3 to play those JRPGs or those game that is not available at PC platform.
For example. PC version of fallout3 looks better than PS3 and have DLC too.

I still think its wierd to connect a PC to a LCD TV. maybe its just me being wierd. haha

I dont want to play any RTS on consoles.

I played UaW and it just feels so wrong.The army is so small and it just dont feel RTS enough for me.

Still,most of the time,the max setting and high setting have very difference in visual quality.

Med-High is good enough for me,as long as i get to see all the eye candies.

If you are noob in adjusting for performance,you can come here to ask for some help on tweaking the game.

I do think that you should get a PC,as you like RTS games and keyboard/mouse controls.If not,get a mid range 2k com when SC2 or D3 release and get a PS3 now to play PS3 games.There isnt much nice RTS coming out soon,other than DoW2 and Empire:Total War.SC2,dunno when.Very little info now.

Anyway,please support ori.Less hassle,more fun.

most RTS you don't have time to enjoy eye-candy until either

a) you're watching a slow crumbling of your opponent.

b) you're watching a slow crumbling of yourself

c) you and your opponent are those that like to sit back, defend kau kau super kau kau and barely not even initiating attacks.

haha.

Haha,damn true.

RA3's water effects are damn distracting.

Haha agree on that...

Anyway, thank a lot for the advice, and i like the opinion of getting mid range pc for D3 and SC2 when they get release.

c) I have colleagues who do this....playing old skool starcraft in the office...wah lau, the guy put up an entire plantation of anti air missle defense....mosquito also cannot escape...LOL.

TS: U already answered ur own question. You don't like console games. Why even bother to ask???

haha. quite funny when people exhaust all resources and have lotsa buildings and units.

then basically it end up being chess pieces. try to wipe off the other with all you have.

we should continue here for RTS - http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/842374

anyway i think choice of game is easiest way to determine what you should get.

for me

games = xbox360
blue-ray = of course, PS3 ......... with GT HD. looks nice.
fun fun fun = wii

arrghh. choices

SAY NO TO WII!!!
seriously all my frens regretted getting it...

anyways one thing for certain that u will never get on the PC is metal gear solid 4...
its by far the most epic game i've ever played...
totally deserve all the 10/10 reviews given...

PC = RTS, FPS, online games
PS3 = platformer (rachet and clank), rpg (ff13 and ff vs13), action (MGS4), basically jap based game series and obviously blueray

Added on November 29, 2008, 8:36 pmbtw u ca use USB keyboard and mouse for ps3 and surf net...

kesian u n ur fren, i nvr regret buy the no.1 console Wii

PC.better
PS3,XBOX ,wii... whatever wear and tear very fast than PC
3ROD for Xbox, PS3 dunno what it called..

but i'll buy PS3. for bluray movie oni and just some kids game,arcade game not serious/mature game one

actually if buy console, less money to do upgrading work.i think console last longer in terms of availability. look at PS2 now. how many years already and its still selling outside there.games also tonnes of them still. even need for speed undercover also available for PS2 (although graphics do sux compare to PC,but then, i play wif max setting wif a mainstream Graphic card also not tht fast, 20-40++ fps).

for me, i'll see wat kind of game to play. if those fighting game like tekken, king of fighter and upcoming street fighter 4, hv to buy console already. PC dun hv these. or if u like gran turismo racing game series from PS1 days, PS3 is ur only choice since its exclusive for PS3.

for PC, i think u need to buy a new monitor also. u said u hv a 37inch LCD TV. if u hook it to ur PC, it will require a good graphic card to support it since i feel tht its using very high resolution which a mid range pc can hardly handle.

the life line for console estimate is around 8 years from the launching of the product. for pc, i feel tht its only abt 5 years for a mid range pc from my own experience.nowadays i tot PS3 also can surf internet? even a PSP also has a browser.btw, i dun think PS4 is going to launch anytime soon. the PSP2 (not PSP-2000 or PSP slim,i'm talking abt the upcoming dual screen PSP and its not nintendo DS) also hvnt come out yet. it was said to be a perfect 'partner' for PS3.

This post has been edited by k!nex: Nov 30 2008, 02:45 AM

actually, if you dun mind the sucks graphic, pc can even last longer.

that's cos probably your friends aren't WII guys!! they regret doesn't mean the product is bad, they regret could mean they're just lousy consumers, isn't it?

IMO WII / PS3 / XBOX are all a matter of preference.

You should ask them to play boxing when their drunk. It's the best game ever.

there's nothing good on wii for quite a while now...
they are all gamers having all 3 consoles and as wut they said, wii is lying collecting dust...
its great for the first few months (they raved about it) and then it died...
even my warhammer guildmates regretted getting their wii lol...

in fact the console and pc is jz to play their exclusive games...

Wii is no.1 console nao for a reason

lol its top in sales due to price...
i dare u to name me any good wii game in the recent months...

I dont buy ps3 bcoz I will not spend 8+ hours in front of tv

but i normally spend 24/7 in front computer

if not gaming, then can surf the web, watch movies etc2

Plus, pirated ps3 no online capablity so no replayability

there's not many ps3 online player

pc = bigger gaming network (malaysia that is)

ps3 got no pirated bro...
100% ORI...

PS3 uses more power than your fridge. lol

PC is definitely a better choice due to its many many capabilities but having said that, some of the game are PS3 exclusive namely God of War 3 which really makes my pulse beat faster by only viewing its trailer. So, it really boils down to your specific need and type of game you like to play. Using console to play strategy game really annoyed me to the max BUT playing RPG or Action game using console is fun.

u can always plug in the keyboard and mouse to ur console...
a good pc would cost more than a console especially when u are keeping up wit good games...
whereas each platform have its own exclusives: -
- ps3: mgs4, lbp, gt, killzone2, resistance series, god of war, r&c
- 360: halo, gears of war, fable
- wii: metroid, mario, zelda
- pc: rts, mmorpg, fps

pc is better than ps3

buy PC first..then buy ps3

Buy PC and PS3!

Just Buy pc!!

Vote for PC

buy PC first and get PS3 later..! both also worth to buy if u enjoy gaming! like me

PC... can customize and more cheaper if u play games... ps3 ori few games can buy another ps3 dy... not like ps2 last time can buy fake games... PC FTW...

no bluray pron. PC FTW!!

Not trying to be funny here. Both are on different league. both caters for different players. Console is for gaming. Yes, Blue rays are expensive, but hey, they still can be sold out to other players after you'd gone bored playing. Yes a pc can play pirated games, but have you ever wonder, PC games title evolve everytime? They'll keep pace to the ever changing hardwares where else in console, they have to stick to the current hardware available. You will be spending more on hardware than gaming. After 1 year, basically your hardware will turn out obsolete and the next contender is the recommended requirement for the new games.

Honestly, I feel most people hammering ps3 doesn't have a slightest idea of it. If you walkthrough the console garage sale page, you would find there ain't much owners letting go of their ps3 set. Pretty much all the console owner is happy with it.

If currently you don't have a pc, then its wise to get one as you need to do your work or surf the web leisurely. If you wish to be a hardcore gaming player, i would highly recommend ps3. who says ps3 cannot be used as a pc? you can run linux in it.

at the end of the day, it depends on your taste of game. Personally I still prefer ps3 as its still serves a good purpose for gaming. Not to mention the high resolution support 1080p at a minimal hardware. effects, color are breathless. the only downside is working all the gaming under the gamepad.

Ps. Me no ps3 fanboy, me just voicing out what is right.

There is no such thing as a right or wrong in this case. Only your opinion. I;ve been a hardcore gamer as long as I remember, and I'm happy with my PC. I don't think PS3 sucks or is bad...I think it definetely is fun, but there is something about a PC game experience that I cant have on the console.

I do play console games too...But i think PC gaming right now is more for enthusiasts and consoles are the easier more approachable option.

I'm truly aware that there both pc & console are equally sparred. My post was create awareness to those whom just hammering the console without bringing out the facts.

Yes both system do provide a exciting gameplay in different ways. Much we know they will not cross the borderline of excitement. PC will definitely have more controls as opposed to the stagnant gamepad. If we look down in history, PC games with good titles will have a long run as compared to console. After all, we can roughly say, all the people here will have at least a computer, but not many would own a console.

This is my fair share of opinion as I too once was a hardcore gamer since 386 & atari era till today. This is just another debate like Mac Vs PC

That is just something you need to phase out from. This is the internetz...what is the internetz good for other than repeated bashing of something without facts? You have to ignore the bad and give credit to the good.

Learn from Dennis Dyack...Don't try to take on the internetz. There is no logic in forum banter that borders on bashing or rants. Sometimes I think it is a new sub culture.

This post has been edited by frags: Dec 27 2008, 06:14 PM

I'm not going to be able to play it since I don't have a PS3. I only have PS2 and after playing the first two in the series
I can't believe I'm not going to be able to continue Kratos's story

It's made me seriously consider saving for one.

I think the PC vs PS3 debate is entirely up to the user. It depends on your preference. For instance I'm a PC freak.
I cannot do without my PC. As for playing on TV, I don't like TV whether its just watching or sitting playing for hours.
As for PC I can play for a while, then as I rest I can surf, chat, watch something or doing something with Photoshop.
PC is definitely the way to go for those that want a wide range of applications.

But then again there are those that are not into PCs. For example some of my housemates can spend the whole day
playing the PS2. They hardly use their PCs.

The downside of having a PC rather than a PS3 is that some games are not available on PC and even those that are available
can be very demanding in terms of PC hardware hence the need for a somewhat deep pocket. For instance in the last 6 months
I've bought a new GPU, PSU (Power Supply Unit), Monitor and had my PC fixed several times. All because I wanted to play a
few high end games. Is it worth it ? I don't know. Some enjoy toying with their PCs. That is tweaking its parts, overclocking and
e.t.c Where as others don't want anything to do with the technicalities that come with playing games on PC.

Despite all that, PC still wins it for me. Though I'd love to have a PS3 because its simple and user friendly. I'm a playstation guy
and because of that I can only play games on PC where a controller is enabled. If I can't enable the controller I wont play it.

My suggestion is get both if you are not into all that PC tech stuff. If you are then forget the PS3.

for pc, u always need to upgrade...
jz look at crysis and farcry 2...
wut else can they throw at us next year...
heck i even had trouble supporting RA3...
not to forget gta4's poor optimization on the pc...

on the other hand, the ps3 itself is really powerful...
playing farcry2 on it looks better than it is on the pc...
besides, u get to play MGS4, gamespot's game of the year besides so many other awards it has won...

This post has been edited by evofantasy: Dec 27 2008, 08:43 PM

Thats the first time i heard that. All multiplatform always looks better on the PC. Out of curiosity, have you seen a pc game before?

Sry if i'm going out of topic, but why not a 360?
U get games from the PC AND console only games. Plus it can be modded if u're going the Jack Sparrow way.
Win-win situation!

even reviews noted that farcry2 ps3 version is better (i think gamespot or one of the reviews)...
there was no framerate issue wutsoever...
its the first game which its better than a pc for a multiplatform i believe...

as for ur dumb question, didnt u read my post that i'm struggling to play RA3 to the full potential so do u think i even play a pc game before?
and i am still playing WAR on my laptop...

Added on December 27, 2008, 11:07 pmbut u aint getting mgs4...
most 360's big hit are on the pc (halo 1 n 2, GeoW, Last Remnant are coming to pc as well and rumors of fable 2)...
on the other hand, getting a 360 for the online community is a great plus!

Eurogamer proved that the PC version was the best among them all.

that is on really high end pc...
do notice farcry 2 can run on 1080p using the ps3...

btw, do check out killzone2...

Added on December 27, 2008, 11:16 pmand btw, mgs4 won best graphics on multiple awards...

all this power without needed to worry about upgrading ur pc when new games comes out...

I'm sorry I'm not quite as enlightened like you to notice your post that you are struggling to Play RA 3 on the highest setting I'm not one with the internetz. Yeah you are probably right...RA3 would look a ton better on the PS3 too.

Gamespot review quote:


http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/farcry2...iew.html?page=2

Just get all the current platform out there to enjoy them all. They all have their own strength and exclusive.
Here is how i use my:
-High end PC for FPS and cross platform title. Cause PC has the best graphic and control among them all.
-PS3 for exclusive only title.
-X360 for other PS3 and X360 title. Cause graphically, X360 is better than PS3
-Wii for family and kid title.
While PSP and NDSL entertains me during my travel.

nvr said RA3 looks better on the console
typical flameboy lol (half of that post is anyways)...
if u try to throw in some sarcasm in it all, its awfull...

as for the issue u highlighted:
"Far Cry 2 has attracted negative feedback due to a number of faults contained in the game across all platforms, such as corrupt save files, freezes, and disappearing characters. A majority of players have reported that at certain points in the game, these issues become more pronounced thereby rendering the game unplayable. As of December 2008, Ubisoft have yet to address these issues"
from wiki (together with the sources which u can click if u want from the ubisoft forums)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry_2

still 1080p looks better...

It still doesn't talk about which platform has the better graphics for the game. You said PS3 Far Cry 2 looks better than PC.

it doesn't but it put ur points invalid on the bugs/crashes on the consoles...
again i said, 1080p on the ps3 system makes it look better (though 720 would be sufficient)...
read all my posts...

well i'm sure u got a really great high end system to play it at max rite?
wonder old is it?

No it doesn't because my point was a retort against your claim that Far Cry 2 on PS3 looks better then the PC which you said.

I don't have a high end system.

so ur 'retort' failed?
as i've said 1080p that the ps3 (and 360 as well) is capable of would make the final display better...

ps = upgrades from time to time just to keep up while a console can last u up to 6-10 years with similiar results...

But how good a game look, still base on how the game making company want to make it. Cause on the PS3 or XBOX 360, as long they got the budget and time, they can make the game utilize the maximum capability of the PS3 or Xbox 360, and still able to sell them cause they dont need to think if all the user console will support it or not.

But on the PC, they need to consider the profit, if they make the game support more type of PC, they will be able to cover a larger market share. So they need to strike a balance between profit and game quality.
