I would rather pay the extra 10 bucks per game that I buy rather than updating my PC every 6 months. That is why I dislike PC gaming.

but you don't really need to upgrade every six months. If you want the best graphics possible, sure. But if you buy stuff with enough quality, you won't even need to do that. There is a reason PC games have low, medium, and high settings for games. PC's tend to even last well into the next gen, albeit on lower settings.

I haven't upgraded one of my PCs in 3 year come May. I am fairly sure that with allthe money you could have saved up with those games you bought over the past 3 years I could build a whole brand new PC. Oh wait... I actually did a month ago!

I update every 4 years or so. If you're upgrading your processor and graphics card twice a year, you're either very dumb, very loaded, or both.

Not sure. I have been mostly spending my money on PS1/PS2 Classics I missed. Lol.

I went on steam, just to see, now I'm upgrading my graphics card to play some PC games. Won't replace my Xbox, PS3, Wii and DS, but there may not be another game I'm looking forward to more than Diablo 3.

For the record, I too prefer the Xbox 360 controller for FPS over anything, even KB+M. For me it's better. If you think my opinion and tastes are wrong, you have serious control issues.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Meh, the dead spot on the xbox 360 controller (and DS3, for that matter) bother the shit out of me. It doesn't kill FPS experiences, but still. It's annoying.

The 360 pad doesn't bother me as much

But the PS3 pad, hoo boy

Makes playing Valkyria Chronicles more finicky than it needs to be, and that's not even really real-time
