There's actually an official adapter that enables you to use your XBox 360 controllers on your PC.

I see where that leads, but I guess people need to have a little insight on how the PC's internal hardware works and compliments certain assets. Which I don't think I posses at all. XD

Is there a difference in the quality of a game...?
Control-wise I think it would be pretty more comfortable on a console..
But what about the game's performance?

Performance-wise, it varies. Depends on the game, and the console it's being compared to... Xbox 360 games are more prone to locking up because of the combination of the hardware and not actually having anything but the save file written to the hard drive (meaning the game information has to be pulled off of the disc as you're playing), whereas a PC and a PS3 both install some or most of the software to their hard drives. And a PC can have access to more RAM, and isn't stuck at older bus speeds (how fast the data moves onto, around, and off of the system board and to other components) from two or three years ago. A console will typically have better graphic processing speeds because they use multiple video cards, though.

I only played one game on the PC, and that was Portal because it was free :/
I don't ever plan on using Steam again otherwise.



In the case of a crappy port(see: The Orange Box), the PC version is superior. I still feel more natural with a controller, but I think there are converters so you can use controllers.

I used these Xbox, joypad rip-offs for those Capcom and SNK games on the PC..
Still miss em'. They still used to leave my hand hurting. XD

I think I understand..it's variable when it comes to the game makers too..hmm.
Apparently..a console has limits..whereas the PC doesn't.
That sounds saaweet..

And thanks for the explanation. XD

A console is usually the equivalent of a very cutting edge PC when it debuts, though, just so you know. It takes a couple years for mid-range hardware for PCs to catch up.
 
Blegh, time is another axis, though even atm, it shows consoles like the Xbox to be more economical.
But again, XD that varies from region to region.
My country has like a 25%+ tax on all electronics. </3
 
Well, that's kind of one thing I like about consoles. Developers are stuck developing for its specs, so you know that no matter what game it is or how old it is, your console should play it exactly the same as any other console, whereas a PC game will perform only as well as the PC you own, which could be superior to others or vastly inferior as the case may be for... every computer I own. xD;

An Xbox 360 will run every new 360 game up until they stop making it (ignoring peripherals and games made just for that *kicks Kinect*) but a PC you buy today may run games released in the next few months at best settings but it probably won't run the games a year from now at the best settings. :s

That and a really good PC that will last for quite a few years and play most games with decent settings... will set you back much more than a console will. (Plus at the cost of games on top of that and... ._.)

Wow. Ridiculously high. In the US state I live in, it's just the standard sales tax that gets applied (which only doesn't apply to vital groceries and clothing).

But older consoles will see performance losses if they have aging hardware, or poor hardware to begin with.
 
._. It's one thing to care about stereotypical male things and another to be a chauvinist. Just be careful what you say.

:( Discussing hot girls is a-okay in my book but don't tread into inappropriate waters--this is still a Pokémon forum after all.
 
No honestly lately I just meet males who doesn't even know how males should function >.>.
But if you want me to be honest I'm most annoyed at males who look for "lolomghawtbody". Seriously is she supposed to be walking in home naked? wtf. I suck in trying to get a girl but if I'm honest all I look for is a girl that looks cute and well that's it. I honestly don't care about flat or not because I'm attracted to kinda short girls. I find it cute for some reasons.

Also I didn't discuss hot girls >.>

You WIN. You get EVERYTHING. Good day sir.
 
:( I know but you made some inappropriate remarks the other day. I haven't forgotten.

I think life would be boring if all guys acted like stereotypical guys. Same with girls. :(
 
I dunno, man. :( You'd probably hire someone to paint an Ambipom mural on the ceiling of our honeymoon suite. I don't think I could trust you.
