Stroopy121 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Expensive things. I've been weighing up a high-cost, med. spec gaming laptop vs a PS4, XBONE and a Desktop. I'm thinking it might just be desktop that takes it. Build a box, run it into my TV as a media centre as well as my gaming system to replace my Xbox360. That way, my system can be upgraded and so on, rather than just tying myself in to a PS4 or XBONE. Anyone know what the exclusive titles are so far? Anything interesting been announced that won't hit PC? Anyone built a PC and have any horror stories? Or just want to sing the praise of their new console? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I don't follow the bleeding edge of new releases, exclusives etc. (and prefer more mouse/keyboard friendly games), but built desktop PC IMO; just obviously better value and more flexible, as I see it.

Teabags Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 You gonna buy a unit or build yer ane? xxMost likely going to buy one off ebay. Unless I can figure out that it definitely is cheaper to build my own. Which it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 If you can afford a somewhat decent PC, then there's next to no reason for getting an Xbox or PS4 unless your mates have one and a handful of console exclusives which are unlikely to be worth purchasing a console to play them. Most games worth your time these days will be released on PC, and normally 10 quid cheaper if you don't want to wait for the sales. I just use Steam's Big Picture mode through my TV and an Xbox controller. Worked a treat for Dark Souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 So, on new PC, playing everything so far at 1080p and 60 FPS, on a 27 inch monitor. Feels glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
