i have many games both on xbox360 and on pc




graphics

is it better play the game on XBOX 360 or pc with MEDIUM details?


i can t go over medium because i have a small old laptop
 
List your PC specs and monitor rez and i'll make that determination by which i'd rather have. In general some games are better on console and some are better on PC

it s a old 14" laptop



screen: 14" 1080p ips (the best real constrast ration on the marker, but a little slow)
gpu: gt 750m GDDR5 2gb version (overclocked +135 core + 200 mem)

i can play TW2
- at 720p high details at 60 fps
- at 1080p medium 20/30 fps (not playable)

Take PC because of 60fps. 30fps is what the 360 runs that game at, or less at times. It's not unplayable but higher frame rate always helps the game feel better to play.

With the Witcher 2 I think High is just above what the 360 game would look like.

I'd rather have the higher fps at lower settings personally, then again a 14in screen sucks.

i bought this notebook for retrogaming, screen quality was the main reason

i don t want a bigger laptop: 14" is already a little too big (13 is better)



recently i found that this notebook can play Black ops 2 maxed out 60 fps and now it s my "BO II laptop" (i only play this game on it!)

There is something about playing a game on a console you dont worry about any of this "omg is it running right? do i have the graphics options tweaked for the perfect balance of visuals/performance"

when you play on a console you 100% focus on the gameplay and story and I know its an unpopular opinion but I find console gamers in general care more about gameplay and story and pc gamers care more about how their rig is performing but that's just my experience

I will play any game on either and not worry about "running right"... I care moreso about the type of game and that dictates which platform to go on. Racing? Console. FPS? PC. Etc...

FO3 was a hassle way back when to get running without crashes after I bought it on PC because of some compatibility issue with dual cores or something, I can't remember. I ended up playing the entire game with an X360 controller anyway so I bought FO4 on XB1 when it came out (I use the pip boy for fighting so not a true FPS IMO). I feel like I made a (small) mistake because the load times were a lot faster on PC due to SSD, but as far as graphics I didn't notice a big difference anyway.
 
I'd choose the 360 just because I would be able to play it on a larger TV. 14" screen? Yeah right. That'll never happen for me. Or I'd have to strap the laptop screen to my head so it seems bigger. 😵

Yeah I figured as much because I saw your sig when you first posted the thread. I was just providing my opinion on your question. If I was traveling then a laptop would make more sense but you asked about both it vs an xbox. So if I had to choose one of those I'd take the 360 myself. Most hotels when I travel have a decent size TV in them. But honestly i don't think I'd tote around an xbox tbh. Seems like a hassle.
