Which is better Console or PC ?

Yea that makes sense I suppose. I never play any PC games unless I'm at a friends house, the only game I play at home is StarCraft which isn't scary at all lol. Needless to say Doom 3 scared the living sh!t outta me when I played it on my friends PC a few years back, granted I was high as hell, but it was still much scarier then anything I've played on my TV. 😛

Hahahah...yeah, I was freaked out by Doom 3 also.

That scene in the bathroom man.....
One my scariest moments was AVP2 and turning on the security systems. I was so freaked about that.

PC, although a lot of consoles are starting to have excellent features too. Nothing beats a tank PC.

I always felt that I get a better experience and I feel in a strange sense more involved with the game I'm playing on the PC than the console just because I'm alot closer to the screen.

When I play scary games, I always get freaked out by the PC one, than the console.

amen to that, when ime sitting on my sofa, feet up, controller in my hand and about a few feet away from the television screen, whats to be afraid off? i mean okie i give it to ya if you were home alone, turned off the lights in a creepy creeky building it would scare the bejeezus out of me but hell

so a can a PC normally, my rooms pretty dark and can get darker, i like it dark in my room so i dont get too much bright light on the screen messes it up and makes it hard to see, creeping about in Doom 3 with nothing but your flashlight, and everything around you in your own room is as dark as the screen, now thats immersion on a level you cant get on a playsation or not as likely to get, theres something about the PC that makes it diffrent, also having my hand on my mouse, and anotheron the keyboard also makes me feel more imersed for some reason, taping a few buttons on a hand set ime secured onto with both hands cannot be as creepy as having your hands far away from eachother, even your hands will get lonely and creeped out, i find my mouse is sliding more and more towards my keyboard

Are yall joking? Doom 3 was anything but scary. It had stale storytelling techniques, repetitive gameplay, similar level design, and no innovation at all plus the same cliche moments.

The only game that ever made me sit on edge was Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube.

No we're not.

I thought it was scary. You didnt, so I guess you have bigger balls than I do.

I do agree that the game wasnt that special but I would disagree with you on the storytelling aspect of that, it was pretty good in my opinion. Level design and gameplay though got old pretty quickly. Another example of a game trying to be more than 12 hours when it should be only 12 hours.

Doom 3 had a great atmosphere. The station really felt quite alive and plausible.

Corsair Ram, and Asus P5N-E SLI, onboard audio though.

My system that I'm looking to get built from a local shop is probalby going to have, or in the area of.

Intel QX9650, Antec Nine Hundred Case, X-Fi Extreme (hate onboard audio), OCZ DDR-2 PC2-6400 Reaper Edition, ASUS SKT. 775 NF 680I, OCZ GameXStream (or Pro) 700W, WD Digital Raptor 150GB, and 250GB 7,200 HD, and 2 BFG's 8800 GT's 512MB, or if they dont have them in for awhile, 2 BGG's 8800 GTS 512MB and Vista Premium 64Bit Edition.

Somewhere in that area. I'm not too good with Mobo's so I dont know if that one is going to be alright with it, probably ask to see if it will be good, but overall with tax $3300 (without system fee)

Nice computer for a small amount.

The computer you are buying there friend is insane, but why doesn't you buy 8800 GTX ore Ultra in SLI when you are determind to make a killer computer???

Because that would be around 1400 bucks instead of 600. I do have an budget its around $3500. Even though the GTX and Ultra in SLI are the best, I cant afford two of them, but I could afford one of them but 8800 GT's and GTS 512 in SLI are cheaper and offer higher performance gains. Its not really worth while to get an GTX or Ultra in single card anymore.

Okay I just thought that maybe you wanted to go all the way if you where already in that amount of money. 🙂

Agreed with the last part.

Nah, too much.

Fiance gave me $3500 budget.

Dude don't spend 3500 right now. Spend like 1500 now and get a totally solid computer, and then upgrade what you need at a later date when the next gen of video cards come out later this year.

$3500 is about £1900 sort of right?

hm, should in that case be able to get a pretty good rig, i prefer to upgrade piece by piece tho, sort of like what Blackfire said

Both, but for me I always like playing on a console more.

I cant.

It's either now, or never. Also, there always going to be a new set of videocards coming out in the near future. 8800 GT's are some of the best cards available for $300 or less.

I would agree if I was getting GTX, or the Ultra but for the GT's, I'm not going to wait.

The only thing I could wait for is the new 780sli motherboards that support DDR3, PCI express 2.0, but I have no idea when those are going to be releases.

Consoles are better in my Opinion.

More accessible and overall a cheaper investment.

Why is it now or never?

Possibly it's something to do with his fiance allowing it now. Priorities might change come wife, kids etc etc. Or that's just a guess.

If the money's going to be spent, it wouldn't matter when.
