Dilemma – C u0026 C: 3 for the PC or 360? [quot] [rts]
Q: Please do not suggest option # 3 – Hook PC to TV. Too many factors keep me from doing. I dont care for explain.
Anyway, the 360 version is or will be in the next few days. I have not downloaded the 360 “demo yet” because I heard it was just a video.
Im about a 80/20 PC to console gamer, and I think Im looking for a good RTS to keep me interested in my 360 (because all I play are sports games and GoW occasionally), and take advantage of my HDTV.
Im skeptical about a port, and RTS control on a console, but willing to give it a shot. My friend bought the recent LOTR RTS and said the controls were surprisingly good done.
Some objective opinions? (Please do not fanbois)
Best Answer: it is the same as putting it on ur pc just put in the disc and follow the prompts have ur key to the program that will activate it

Re:Just FYI – in case anyone cared…
Picked up LoTR:Battle for ME on 360 this weekend (used/cheap) since it supposedly has the same controls/engine. Holy frustration batman. Looked like a fun PC game, but it's utter hell on a console.
Next day I picked up C&C:3 PCDVD. 
(Decent game BTW. Never played the previous gen. But IMHO, it's kind of a soulless, more bland SC clone w/ better graphics. The live acting segments are painful – the cheap sets and acting to the camera rather than another person… brutal. Plus, I thought Billy Dee Williams was dead, and truth be told, based on that appearance, he might be and just doesn't know it).

Re:No poll?
My answer however, is to play with KB+Mouse … but I'm heavier into the PC games anyway, so I'm biased.

They gave it a 7 in graphics because it looks like crap and can't run at 30 FPS. There's always the KB+M>Controller issue too. And this kind of game won't sell nearly as well on the 360 as the PC.
In other words, you're better off playing on your pc.

Re:The latest EGM has a review on C&C3 for the 360. If you've played BFME2 for the 360, you might have some idea of the control scheme. Appearantly, they did a pretty good job, but with larger campaign battles it is still far too hard to control fast enough.
I'd try the 360 demo or rent it before purchasing but would lean heavily toward the PC initially.

Re:Hmmm. I'd rather play an RTS on a PC with a 10" screen than on a console/TV with a 40" screen.
Re:For an RTS, a PC would seem to be a no-brainer due to its control scheme.
Re:The demo for the 360 is pretty much the same demo on the PC, play both and find out what one you like best.
Re:PC, I don't really take screen size into consideration since you sit so close to a monitor. It is not a 2 player game(unless you are online) so console does not have that party atmosphere that many other games do.
And the biggest factor, controls, mouse and keyboard just work better. Console might be a nice compromise if your computer can not handle the game, or if you are not a PC gamer, but if given the choice, stick with PC for RTS.
