Here’s the start of something beautiful.Β Here is another one of Gametrailer’s controversial videos of comparing 3 systems side by side using the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3. Of course whenever a video such as this is produced, it starts a huge flame war between the three rival platforms. Obviously, this video leaves you to cast your own judgment and remarks. But if you ask me, there is no significant difference aside from the fact that Xbox 360 wins by my vote! The only games I would want to play on my PC would be Torchlight 2 or Diablo III (perhaps even Counter-Strike GO as well). Everything else will just be heading to my 360 since my Gamerscore seems quite meaningful and I always love earning more points. Achievements on other platforms just doesn’t share the same type of rewarding feeling that I get from my 360. Thank you Microsoft for making achievements feel like an accomplishment worth trying for.
Btw, one good thing to note about the major difference between consoles and PC is the multiplayer experience. The scaling and size of the capacity a server can maintain on a PC is obviously more than what a console can handle. PC’s will have 64 total players in a single match, whereas the consoles can only hold up to 32 (in reference of BF3). Oh, and please do not bring up MAG as a good counter measure for proving me wrong. That game was beyond terrible and labeled EPIC FAIL. Aside from amount of players each system can match up against, graphics are pretty much equal and on par with each other (enhancements can be made depending on your equipment. Invest in a high-end flat HDTV to beef up the look and feel of your console). The only significant difference is the frame rate.
Side note: I attended the Battlefield 3 midnight release. It was awesome! Thanks Gamestop for being so efficient at handling midnight releases. I was #74 π
