The occasional facebook game that pisses me off after the first level by forcing me to buy something, is all I play on the PC. |
MMO's are a bit of a gateway into "serious" PC gaming. They get you use to a PC setup, they get you used to gaming in a chair, and they often times get you to eventually upgrade your computer to be capable of handling serious games.
I think the biggest barriers of entry into heavy PC gaming for me was the amount of good third party games available only on consoles and the fact that I would have to find a decent game pad for games. The first problem isn't as much of a problem anymore, and the Xbox 360 pad is amazing for me. Like I said, if I play Darksiders, for example, it will play just like if it was on the 360. Everything from press start to play or move the right analogue stick in the tutorial - it makes the whole experience a lot more pick up and play. Still prefer a mouse and keyboard for any sort of shooter.
