When I build a new PC I generally gut my old, use the parts I can still use and sell the rest. That said, I can still play most old games on my PC without a problem (though old old DOS games get tricky). I'm not so worried about my old games though, I'm more worried about my new games. Yeah, I can build a $400 PC that will run a lot of the new games out today, but they are going to look like crap compared to their console equivalent. If I actually want to run something with high settings (or something comparable to the console game) and have good frame rate than I'm going to need to spend more than $400 and I'm going to have to upgrade every year or so. With a console, I spend $400 once and that generally lasts a good five or so years. I'm not trying to say PC gaming is inferior to console gaming or dissuade anyone from playing PC games, I'm just saying the price thing is completely bogus. And as for that list of PC games for 08, those all aren't exclusive and I guarantee you the vast majority of them will just be bad. |
