| Legend11 said: So I took the plunge and got Torchlight after hearing so much about it and lets be honest the price makes it a great bargain. After installing the game I start to play and I'm really enjoying the art style and the game in general. So much so that instead of heading back to the town I keep going deeper into the mine to get more loot only to have the game crash on me. I go back into the game and find I've lost most of the progress I made in the game. This is after the game was already patched and it's something that is all too familiar to me when it comes to PC gaming. I end up going to the forums for PC games typically because of bugs in a game. I had been planning to get back into PC gaming in a big way but now I realize just how much I took for granted the relative lack of bugs and wasted time in console gaming. Maybe it's worth sticking with it for the gems (C&C4, Starcraft 2, etc) but otherwise it's a major hassle and just shows that comparing console and PC gaming is dishonest for those that try to make it out as if the experiences are the same except with better PC graphics and servers. Sorry for the post but I really do love PC games (many of the ones I look forward to and play on 360 have a PC flavor to them). It's too bad that there's nothing in place in PC gaming that would ensure that any PC game we buy is relatively bug free rather than feeling like it's a game of chance. |
I think you and Richardhutnick should be friends and stick to consoles.
