So, here I am, downloading L.A. Noire, Darksiders, and both Dragon Ages for 20 bucks (sale on downloadable games on amazon.com at the moment, by the way) when I came to the realization that my PC has become my number one gaming console (and not just because of how cheap the games are.)
That's kind of a strange thought for me, as I've always been more of a console gamer.
Why is this?
First off, growing up, it seems like I always wa gaming this way:
Home Consoles: Platformers, Sports games, Fighting Games, and JRPGS
PC: Adventure Games, FPS, RTS, and Western RPGS.
So, with Western games becoming more important and Eastern games less so, I guess it makes sense that I would start playing my PC more. Another big reason is customization and graphical capabilities. I won't play Skyrim on a 360, because I can't manipulate my hud and use all of the mods and downloads that I have - and it also looks decidedly worse.
Last, and this may sound weird, but the fact that I can use an X-box 360 controller (the best controller for navigating 3D space, in my opinion, the SNES pad will forever and always be my favorite for 2D games) and just plug it in and play for most games is awesome. If I have to press 'B' in a tutorial, I just hit 'B'. That may be a little stupid but it makes me a happy gamer.
Not sure why I posted this, just wondering if anyone felt the same way. I think the only console I really play anymore is my 3DS, unless I have friends over or someone wants to play something online.
