Wow, I left for work and Bodhesatva completely took control of this thread. I guess he wins or something. I liked the Shadowrun example that got brought up about how PC owners were slaughtered by the people on consoles. I will concede one thing to the PC, RTS's will ALWAYS be better. The console just can't compete there.
When it comes to anything else though, the console can have equal or better controls. Traditional RPG's for instance feel akward on the PC as do many platforming or action/adventure games. Not all of them do, but they feel more natural on the console according to me and the majority of gamers who buy those games on consoles.
I think the whole point was for Bodhesatva to indirectly insult both the PS3/360. Way to be a troll. I used to have respect for him, but every time I see him post now I am just more and more annoyed and disregard what he has to say. Its fine to have favorite systems, that is pretty normal, but to shove it down other people's throats is unnecessary.
PC gaming literally costs about 3-6 times as much as console gaming (assuming you don't pirate on either system and given that console lifetimes are about 5 years and PC lifetimes are 1-3 years). Very few people these days are willing to pay that premium.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
