this game is free for xbox live!

[raindude09]

you can get this game for free if you have gold membership on xbox live, it ends in a couple of days so don`t bother buying it during the sale. (talking to xbl users not pc)

Paying a couple hundred dollars because you dont want to move your laptop.

Disclaimer: I don't actually own my own console, I use a friend's. I know that it's not really worth the price to get a new console just to save me some hassle, but I'm thinking about picking up a used console from the last generation.

Different people like different things. I like console for various reason and I like PC for various reasons. I don't look down upon anyone that has a higher desire for either, that'd just be childish in my opinion.

What various reasons do you like console for? Enlighten me please.

1- It's easy.
2- I'm not locked in my office at home all day, I can play in the bedroom while my wife reads or looks at her laptop.
3- I don't have to upgrade it every couple of years to play the newest games.
4-I use my Xbox a lot to stream netflix in our bedroom instead of having to connect the laptop to my tv
5- I have a lot of friends that don't play on PCs, so we can all play on the Xbox if we choose to do so.
6-My PC is in my office, where there is no tv, so sometimes I like to play games on my flat screen instead of my computer screen.
7- I'd rather play on PC, but like I mentioned previously, I enjoy both for different reasons.

Hope that enlightens you. :)

Well I don't have gold membership, so this is not free at all.

Yay lets go download it one a console that can't have 1080p 60fps and looks terrible. Yeah ill stick to PC. Stay with your inferior consoles.

Who cares about graphics again? oh thats right. Console gamers.

Console Gamer: We have better graphics. *insert pic here*

PC Gamer: No you don't, here's a screenshot from a mere $450 computer. *insert pic here*

Console Gamer: Geez, you elitists care about nothing but graphics.

PC Gamer: *returns to playing CS 1.6*

Console Gamer: *returns to playing CoD: Ghosts*

Don`t buy a $1,000 dollar computer so you can actually run this game,

Dishonored on the xbox is always 25-30 FPS, Yeah screw that buddy you can never tactically play or speedrun or anything without terrible lag on a GAMEPAD. Stick with PC Guys.

That's fine. My PC is 3 years old and I do the same. That's not really the point though. With my PC I always end up upgrading ram or gpus or sound etc etc etc, with my console I bought when Xbox first came out, I speant $49 on a wifi attachment. :)

One justification for PC games is that not everyone plays enough games to justify having a console AND a PC. Seriosuly, with the cost of the console you could upgrade the PC you already have.

I'm usually using my computer and the consoles that I do have are collecting dust most of the time since there's no point in turning them on when I have stuff on my computer. And there's definitely no point in paying hundreds of dollars for the ability to walk across the room and play a game on a different machine that I could have already played on the machine I already have.

True, but that argument works both ways. Nowadays, most people don't need to invest in a computer that can run modern games; between smart phones, tablets, and integrated graphics on laptops (don't even pretend that they're the same as a dedicated card), the majority of people can get by without a gaming capable computer. In that situation, it makes just as much sense to get a console as it does to get a more powerful PC.

That's also true. I never got into portables though. I predate the smartphone and never got into it. I just don't see the point. When I'm out somewhere, I'd rather be doing other things. I actually don't want to take all the technology with me. So I still like a dedicated computer with a nice big screen and a keyboard that I can sit down at, and also walk away from and leave behind.

This got into some kind of great debate. Anyway, I find the opening useful information. I prefer the comfort/flexibility that comes with controller play. I'm not facing another human being in this game so I dont need dead-on aiming that involves the mouse.

Flexibility? WHAT FLEXIBILITY?

I never really wanted a smartphone, but then I got one about a year ago and it's been exceptionally useful for managing my professional life without being tied to a computer all day. Which yeah, does cut both ways, because people send out e-mails and expect instant responses.

I think the big thing is you don't need a firm, flat surface for a controller, you just hold it in your hands. This allows you to move freely and sit wherever/however you want.

I can't see why can't you use plug a controller to a pc?

It really doesn't work both ways.

When buying a laptop buy one that can play games or one that can be upgraded to play games.

With a console you still need a tv and those can easily double the price.
