Why you should buy the PS3 version and not the PC version of this game

[Khalus]

Of course the #1 reason is the size of the viewing screen. The game sure looks nicer on a 46" TV than a small monitor.

Ummm lawl~! If it hasn't been said yet, I'm playing ARR in my living room right now, sitting on my couch and at my coffee table with a wireless KB & Mouse on a 46" 120Hrz HDTV. My PC has 2 GTX 680 FTW running in SLi at around 120-140FPS.

So why should I play this on a vastly inferior console!?

[Slatervonjager]

I have never played on a console. Won't do it. I support PC games only.

And that's your choice. Console gaming, is what made gaming what it is today. However, supporting only PC or only Consoles, again your choice, is the stupidest thing you can do, because you deprive yourself of MANY great games that are exclusive to one or the other. A REAL gamer, doesn't bind themselves to one platform or the other, but instead experiences them all.

And you can't do this on a PS3 so nuff said lol.

hands down any mid level (cheap) gaming machine will blow a PS3 out of the water.

Yeah. triple monitor, is nothing special, and is actually pointless unless you're managing servers. Nice waste of cash.
Also, when your cheap gaming rig can run Blackhole simulations, and becomes the most powerful hacking tool in the world, then we can talk.

Well seen as triple monitor allows me to play center screen watch tv left screen and brows web right screen why would managing servers be the only use I set up 3840*1024 res just for fun and coz I can.

And I never said anything about hacking and or black hole simulations I mean WTF we talking about gaming.

I also own a ps3 and the ps3 version which I bought for 2 reasons one to get 30 days free time and the other to get it free when ps4 is released my ps3 is only used for blu rays tbh and is on a 42" full HD tv and yes my pc runs the game graphically better.

This your quote:

Yeah, I thought so. You want to dog on the hardware? then know the hardware. A PC can't even play a PS2 game. Also, choose one or the other, stop playing the game and sitting on youtube, it's crap like that helped to contribute to damn AFK kick.

Seen as you can get ps emulators for ps1, 2 and 3 for pc's I still can't see where your coming from saying pc's can't run ps2 games lol.

But seen how passionate you are for playstation I think I will leave this topic for better sense.

Have a nice day and a wonderful time gaming hope to see you soon.

Althire.

P.s. and that 30 sec video was a hell of a lot of time to be wasting.

Hrmmm, well after experiencing them all, it was very clear to me that console gaming was not only more expensive but vastly inferior.

PC gaming FTFW for Life!

Console gaming, is what made gaming what it is today.

It sure did...le sigh...

For example, look at the hardware specs for the new generation of consoles, we had that level of technology and graphics 5 years ago on PC. And consoles are just now about to get it! The only thing consoles have done for gaming is greatly hold back the potential for even better hardware, innovations and yes graphics too!

A PC can't even play a PS2 game.

Uh yeah it can, would you like to come over and let me prove it to ya!? lol

Completely agree with this as I was looking over the spec for the PS4 and the XBOX one I noticed that everything in there I had but better 2 years ago since then I have Built a new machine and upgraded once and the consoles they are releasing are so sub par in gaming PC terms.

Except consoles were never, originally, built to run like computers. PS3 and PS4 and XBone run like computers because the technology evolved and and Microsoft decided to make consoles more computer like, unlike before when they were simply machines to play video games.

I don't get why this is turning into a which machine is better for games, both play games (and play them well) and that should be enough for you guys. :/ If you want a prettier picture or a smoother run or whathaveyou, I'm sure there will be fixes and patches and new monitors and etc etc etc for that to happen.

Just be happy with what you got. I like my PS3 and I'm quite happy with it and I don't even get to play this game on an HD screen lol. If I can enjoy my squished screen, you guys can enjoy your suped up computers and 50" inch TV/monitors and whatever else you guys have been bragging that you have.

Now let's play the game, hm?

I'm a PS3 user and I agree; it's the inferior version by far.

The fact that you have to use Select to cycle through UI elements (instead of clicking with a mouse) is especially frustrating.

However, the 1.0 PC launch was atrocious so I didn't want to risk it a second time - and my PC is in another city
