Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim[views:1109571][posts:1457]_____________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 2:03am - frankovhell ""] sigh said: arilliusbm said:For those of you who are drooling about the graphics and will prefer to play this on Xbox 360... one can obtain a graphics card far superior to that of 360's on a PC.. FACT BOMB This is true, but a ps3/360 costs less than a mid range card does these days. In my opinion the cost of graphics hardware is what is killing pc gaming these days, not piracy. Some serious pc gamers are now buying 2, 3 or 4 top of the line cards to run in sli, or crossfire mode, plus the upgraded power requirements that come with it. Some pcs now have multiple power supplies just to power the graphics hardware. It's just costing too much to stay current on the pc. This combined with the ability to play games on your HDTV has made consoles more attractive. This is exactly why I dont PC game anymore. i used to build rigs and be all into maxing out FPS's . The more they kept upgrading cards and graphics and adding more requirments of power supplies. It just seems really silly. The technology needs to intergrate all this stuff better. Its now like having a car with 5 motors and 3 gas tanks. Its a pain in the ass to learn about and Im lazy these days. A ps3 on a nice huge hd1080p tv looks just as good, costs less, and i can lay down and play on my couch. Win. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 8:18am - Alx_Casket ""] I'd be surprised if the ps3 will output this game on full 1080p. I built my system five years ago for around $500 (using the same case for a lot longer) and I've only upgraded the video card once. My ps3 on the other hand, is only used for DLNA streaming these days. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:13am - arktouros ""] Most (pretty much all) console games don't output 1080P. The console might but most games scale to 720P. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:14am - arktouros ""] The difference is 1280x720 vs 1920x1080 |
| __________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:15am - arktouros ""] Alx_Casket said:$280 for a motherboard is dumb. you didn't read my post. I bought a new CPU, 8GB RAM, AND a mobo for $280. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:38am - Alx_Casket ""] I can stream standard def TV and movies no problem via PS3 Media Server (I think you recommended that? if so thanks). But most games that aren't in the vein of tetris gameplay will output in 720p, if that, to keep framerate up. PC > console with games like this. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:44am - arilliusbm ""] PC will always be ahead of the curb because it is the platform in which new technology is released. But it is expensive. But I guess that doesn't matter to your average PC nerd who has no girlfriend or obligations outside of playing every new game, WoW, and constantly upgrading. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:46am - ark ""] yeah, i use a crossover cable from PC to PS3 so streaming HD video works pretty well. i can do some HD video over wireless but it depends. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:46am - ark ""] PS3 Media Server is awesome but sometimes it's a pain to get certain videos to work. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 8,2011 9:52am - Alx_Casket ""] Yeah, I pretty much max out at 576p bluray rips over wireless because I'm streaming from my room upstairs. For full HD, which I only really do when I have company over, I just bring my desktop down and hook up right to the receiver via HDMI. |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 3:33am - Avalonwinds ""] Jebus christ, this game is going to get me fired. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 8:58am - AndrewBastard ""] didnt pick it up at midnight last night...they better not have sold my pre-ordered copy! grabbing it after work tonight and not leaving my house ALL WEEKEND. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 9:14am - arilliusbm ""] Fucking awesome so far. I had to start over though because a whole villiage was trying to kill me and I have no idea why. I'm always a Nord, but I'm not sure if I should be something else. The menu takes a little while to get used to. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 9:28am - burnsy ""] I live in Brockton so I'm hoping all the gangsta's are too busy with MW3 because I didn't preorder my copy. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 9:34am - AndrewBastard ""] I'm usually a nord too I know its going to take me 3 hours just to make my character hahah cant fucking wait. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 9:36am - arilliusbm ""] Its awesome. They have "war paint" and there's some old school corpse paint looking designs. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 9:48am - AndrewBastard ""] i wish you could upload your own face |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 11:11am - arilliusbm ""] It's fookin sick. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 11:14am - AndrewBastard ""] i hope the menus arent too annoying to navigate... |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 11,2011 11:18am - arilliusbm ""] Its differnt. I keep picking up items that I dont mean to. You can tell they were designed for consoles. |
