Forums - Gaming - First thread thingy. Is this console generation your last?

Definitely not. I've never really been into PC gaming (except a little in the mid-90s) and plan to stick with consoles. I think PC gaming will continue to grow, but consoles will continue to be mainstays in the mainstream.

I've been playing less and less on PC since ps3 and 360 came out. This generation certainly won't be my last. I'll keep enjoying the convenience and exclusives a console offers over the pc as long as they keep making them.

I don't see a Steam box taking my attention back to PC gaming. Not when you're still dealing with multiple specs, different GPUs and always that nagging feeling that maybe it's time to upgrade again, or what settings to lower this time to get rid of judder and distracting slowdown. Plus I like to collect games as well as play them, that just doesn't feel the same with digital downloads. (Nor can I download 50GB games anyway)

I still play on PC occasionally. Last PC game I bought was the boxed version of Civ beyond earth. Nice to continue with my world now and then on my laptop. I backed Elite Dangerous, so that's the next game I'll be playing on PC, I just hope the download size isn't too big.



Way too much to read there just saying i like em short



lolno..  I will continue buying consoles if they have games I'm interested in! Plain and simple, huh?

I will buy consoles as long as they have games I want.

The only reason I would stop gaming is if the DRM nonsense does happen.

Ohhh my God... That wall of text!!! I'm hyperventilating

Well, I will always keep buying things, because I can. Even if I won't play with them a week later. It's just that tech geek in me.


Haha, I can't buy anything. :P I get 3 retail games at most per year and 1/2 of those is/are a birthday gift, or at least I got that when I played on my 360, I was fortunate enough for my parents to buy the 360 in 2011 because they saw the Kinect and liked the idea. But I really don't see a point on spending money on individual retail games anymore since Steam sales make getting more games such an easy thing. The money goes to the developers and Steam instead of the retailer, which is really a selling point for me since I like to support hard-workng people.



I'm now filled with determination.

No, I don't think this will be my last gen buying a console.

I'm now mainly a PC gamer, but there will always be those first party titles and the rare 3rd party games that aren't available on PC, so there will still be a reason to get a console (or several).



Please excuse my bad English.

Probably not... As long as Nintendo games continue to be exclusive, I will keep on buying them
