Forums - PC Discussion - I'm tempted to leave the site.

I think the problem exists in part because of who defends PCs on this site. That and you have the problem of a healthy number of developers not taking the time to finish their PC games before release because they can be patched later (an increasingly large problem on consoles admittedly). This leads to lots of material to start a flame war, and more than a few people who only ever make the situation worse by throwing fuel onto the fire rather than trying to diffuse the situation.

From what I understand about PC gaming:

-If you wanna new game, your PC has to be abale to actually run the game.
-If it can't, you're either out of luck or you gotta buy some more hardware.
-It cost a ton of money just to enjoy it.

I think console gaming is just better, even the Wii. See a game you like, buy it, play it, and be happy. PC gaming is a lot of work and money for pretty much nothing, really.

-Well that just proves you don't know crap about it. The hardware issues are pretty much ancient history. I have a two year old notebook that can play every game on the market at a decent resolution and frame rate

- compared to consoles most hardware upgrades are cheap and still can reap huge benefits. And they are only necessary if you want to play every game at the highest resolution and framerate. And at least you're not stuck with a piece of hardware that will never be any better than the day you bought it and you have to wait six years to get anything better.

- for less than the cost of a PS3 you can get a desktop that'll game OK. I wrote a thread myself on how you could build a gaming monster for under $600 and they can even do useful things as well as play.

=For a little more you can get a good gaming notebook that plays games,does useful work,does your taxes and when you travel plug it in, open it up and and you're gaming online in seconds. And in a little tiny lightweight package. Try doing that with your big fat ass console and see how many motel rooms have TVs that'll let you play at your precious HD.

-PCs don't suffer from RRD or tiny start up libraries

- PC gaming is no more complicated than consoles unless you're a halfwit. The gaming library makes any console library look tiny and often are much less expensive. It's not more expensive than a PS3 and frankly given all that it can do, it's the best value out there. In fact since a lot of us have home computers and notebooks for work anyway, we have essentially a gaming platform for FREE.Beat that.

-When they bring motion control to the PC, I'll probably never buy another console.

PS:It's better not to post about things you don't know anything about.It's better to say nothing and be thought ignorant than speaking up and removing all doubt.

What? I;m sorry but you seriously need a MASSIVE reality check.

well, it annoys the hell out of me :P I can picture him talking in a smart-ass tone if you know what I mean.

Like "blah blah, blah, I'm right, your stupid, pc gaming is god lololololololol"



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

Obligatory dick measuring Gaming Laptop Specs: Sager NP8270-GTX: 17.3" FULL HD (1920X1080) LED Matte LC, nVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M, Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3, 750GB SATA II 3GB/s 7,200 RPM Hard Drive

This is mainly a console site as, you know, the site is about the consoles. If you want to attract more PC gamers, make it more appealing for them to join the site. Post more PC news, track PC software, etc.

I love the PC as a gaming platform too, but I seldomly post about it. That's mainly because I'm just too much of a n00b to join PC discussions, where most PC gamers are kind of arrogant and know lots more about PC gaming than I do (even though I grew up with PC gaming and know how to compose a PC).

What annoys me is people like ssj12 who get really offensive and outright lie about things when it comes to PC gaming, just for the sake of defending the platform. It doesn't work, if anything it only aggrevates people.

I remember him stating that CoD4 was much more successful on pc, I provide a link with the head of Infinity Ward saying the 360 version was the most successful(only 2 months old), yet he still tried to save face.

 I remember Rome: Total War (I think that was the title of the game) was released without the ability to actually play online against other opponents. They released it because they new the patch would be finished by the time the game hit retail shelves. The big names are very good about not releasing shitty titles liek that normally (it was an Activision game) but some slip through the cracks. When you have games with the hype level of Spore get released with bugs that can lock the PC up you have a lot of fuel to the PC haters. Of course I don't expect you to try and see this from anything resembling a reasonable stand point though.
