    This probably has been discussed extensively in the past but have not seen much on it. I have been watching a lot of twitch streams of pc players. The pilot and titan movement is so much smoother and quicker. Is this a perk of pc playing? Is this why pc players say that they will never go back to the box?

    Wouldn't say its a perk so much, mostly it's better hardware, also mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller any day of the week.
    I used to be a PC elitist, but I couldn't keep up with upgrading every 6 months. Hence I'm a console pauper now. :) I find sitting on my lounge beer in hand on the Xbox a lot more enjoyable than glued to a desk using PC

    They're both great, but if you switch...you'll start Gen1 since ORIGIN and XBOX are different accounts.
    Honestly, I like the keyboard mouse because that's what I'm use to. The game controller has many perks..........so really it's 50/50.

    PC wise it only takes a mid-level Graphics card ($100....1000mhz 2gb gddr5 low watt ) to run Titanfall at medium to high settings...which is quite fluid and robust visually (insane setting is a different story). Titanfall is optimized for Nvidia, but Amd does quite well.

    Use what you feel comfortable with

    I have 24" led for my PC which is large enough since my eyes are 2 to 2 1/2 feet from it at 1080P (which may have same area vs viewing distance for large television)

    I travel on Business with a 15.6" laptop that has A8 cross firing with a Radeon HD 7670M running the game at medium settings 1 to 1/12 from eyes just fine...17" would be better IMO

    This this this this this.

    I was a PC man with a bloody expensive rig. Back 'in them days' my 512mb nVideo GT7950 card cost more than a new xbox 360!!

    Hacking,maintenance (malware /spyware /general crap) and the constant cost of keeping up with the Jones eventually put me off. The ease of the console and the fact that you play on an even platform appeals to me more than PC gaming now.

    Never thought about the upkeep and all of that other stuff that has to be done. Me, I just cannot manage to use one hand for the mouse and the other hand to hit the keyboard keys.

    It appears that your intellect is only surpassed by your creativity. You may have just outdone Alfred.

    Rogerwilco's Alfred showed up a day after my brother sent me a pic of my grand nephew witha caption "what me worry". Kind of an interesting coincidence. And yes there is a family resemblance but I still have teeth although my hair is less auburn. image.jpg

    Kids seem to have it so easy these days, with the wealth of information, and more powerful components becoming cheaper.

    Regarding the PC vs Xbox One argument, if you're a gamer, get the Xbox One. I know this sounds weird given my preference of the PC platform, but I can say with confidence it will be a cheaper and less mentally taxing option, and a lot of console games support local multiplayer too. PC requires you to launch different instances of games over LAN, which is inefficient in terms of hardware use and setup. You also get one-two disk physical copies of your games and on-going support towards one platform.

    Why the Xbox One over PS4? Xbox One has the best controllers, period. There's also some great exclusives. Get the PS4 if you really want to though, I won't stop you.

    When I said "less mentally taxing" I will go out and say that the average person is not able to put their own rig together. They don't have the mental discipline to do it properly. Anyone who's built their own rig without any mistakes will know what I mean.

    If you're a techie, who wants to game but also wants a powerful PC, well the choice is obvious. You can also make a compromise and get a console and a sub-par pre-built PC, but that really hampers the performance of powerful software packages such as the Adobe Creative Suite, which you may need if you're a graphic designer, for instance.

    Hacking is terrible, sure, but it happens on consoles too. People seem to be able to grab your IP address quite easily, and in addition, are able to openly cheat on some games (see COD4/COD5 on Xbox 360, for instance), and when people are able to execute unsigned code from devices like JTags, that can cause a lot of frustration for legit gamers. It's not as big a problem as it was, and PC games are clamping down on cheaters too.

    Malware and computer malfunctions are terrible, and like I said, if you're just a gamer, go for the console option. Sometimes you just get weird errors on the PC that you can't easily fix (generally driver or hardware issues).

    Note that you don't need to upgrade often, you can build, or buy a gaming PC today (for around $800) and not expect to have to replace it for anything for at least three, if not five years, even if you don't perform any maintenance in clearing your PC's guts of dust. It's your decision if you choose to upgrade to run at max settings 60fps, or if you want to run with multiple monitors, or if you want to run in 4K.

    The choice is yours.
