Getting it for both my pc & 360, I can't monopolize all the time on either so I'll get both & trade off when need be!

Not to mention, I have friends on Xbox Live I love party-chatting with while gaming. Especially when we're all playing the same game, e.g. Skyrim.


I do the exact same thing on the PC, except I use Skype. However I'll probably shut myself away from the world whenever I play Skyrim for maximum immersion. :P

You and Seti are the only ones who are buying for PS3? Anything wrong with the console, or are people just cheap and go for the Xbox like i did?

And buying it twice? We need more people like you to support our games :goodjob:



Well... I have to buy it twice. It's either that or fight over who get's to play it with my girlfriend. :laugh:
She prefers the console anyways, and I prefer PC. I will play the console version as well, just not as often.

PC for the mods :D. I had oblivion for both the PC and the 360 and I still play it on the PC.

Now THAT is a good enough reason, I just get fed up with people assuming PC gaming is about sitting at a desk, because it isn't. I actually watch telly from my PC (from the sofa) and my PC goes through my home cinema surround sound, so that reason doesn't cut it with me either. I think we're moving away from the days of having separate systems for telly and PC, mine is completely integrated and I can't see any reason (other than the cheap purchase price, and a couple of exclusive game releases) to use a console - because they can't do anything that I can't do on my PC.

I generally don't buy for the PS3 unless it's an exclusive because, frankly, the PS3's online service is terrible. I don't mind paying a few bucks a month for a well-designed and well-supported online service like Xbox Live, but PSN's mostly free model simply makes it impossible for them to support the basic things I want out of an online service. Namely, high-quality voice chat, cross-game chat, party-chat (still cross-game), and a trophy system that doesn't force me to wait for it to sync every time I want to use it. I mean, some things have been improved upon with PS Plus, but much like an MMO, I only have room in my life for one subscription online gaming service, and XBL is still the better option - even when considering PS Plus as an option.

Essentially: I'm a very social gamer by default, and I also like kicking back and relaxing when I'm gaming, so the two of those things together makes me naturally biased towards console games. Consoles are simply more accessible gaming systems to most people, so it's easier to get in touch with and play games with my friends using the console than it is the PC. I'm sure if my friends preferred the PC, it'd be a different story, but that's the way it is. The PC comes in a close second because I love modding games, especially expansive games like Elder Scrolls titles, and you can't really get that experience anywhere else. The PS3 is there to play PS3 exclusives and Blu-rays. That's about it, really.

Now THAT is a good enough reason, I just get fed up with people assuming PC gaming is about sitting at a desk, because it isn't. I actually watch telly from my PC (from the sofa) and my PC goes through my home cinema surround sound, so that reason doesn't cut it with me either.

I do the same. My PC plays HD video through HDMI to my main HDTV, and that's how I consume 99% of my video media. Tonight (the VGAs) was the first time I've watched actual low-def TV, with commercials etc, in months.

Exactly, the only thing I don't have at this point is one of those hi-tech refrigerators that scans what you put in/take out of it and sends a shopping list to your PC. There are plenty of reasons to use consoles, but "sitting on the sofa/bed", "playing on a big screen", and "cinema surround sound" are not among them, because I do all that on my PC. I can't imagine buying a game twice so I have it on more than one platform.

PC :)

I love using a keyboard and mouse, plus it has scalable graphics and, of course, MODS. :dance:

If I don't want to use the mouse and keyboard, I take out my XBOX controller, so getting it on my XBOX just seems pointless. :S

If I somehow manage to get together a couple thousand dollars then I will buy a new PC that is more powerful than the stuff that aliens have. If not then I will get the xbox 360 version. I liked Oblivion on the Xbox better anyways but I like mods a lot too.

You do know that you can plug your PC into your TV and use a controller other than mouse/keyboard with it don't you? Sorry but when I see people state this reason for going with one platform over another it makes me wonder if they are not aware of all the options!


My thoughts exactly. I've got my computer hooked up to my 89 centimetre TV to play Fallout New Vegas right now, so I can sit back on our leather couches, create and add mods to my game, and play it with all the settings set to ultra high quality. There may be valid reasons to play on a console, but saying 'I like to play on my couch' as a reason to buy/use a console over a computer is being disingenuous in my opinion.

I feel so clunky and idiotic trying to use a mouse and keyboard for gaming.

360 for me.

Wow that's odd.I know there are people who prefer controller but I never heard of someone who actually feels strange and unconfortable playing on a mouse and keyboard.

I love them, way more precise :)

Of course PC. Mods are a must-have for me. Especially bug fixing mods since Bethesda will never fix all the (known) bugs. We have seen it in Morrowind and Oblivion.

I just don't like having the controls spread out across my whole hand. I like them in a little ball like a controller offers. I have the money to build a pretty powerful rig, but I can't bring myself to spend it.

I am praying that my pc will be up to playing this game. I think it will but who really knows. Since it will be on current consoles (I think) it should without much trouble.

Gaming mice with 7+ buttons for the win Alex. (As in Trebek.)

Just playing, I know everyone has there preferred method and I am fine with that.
