If the PC doesn't have good games, does that mean that the 360 and PS3 also don't have good games (or at least not a lot of good games)? If so, when will they die?

 

I'm sorry to inform you, but PC has better games than every system including the Wii.

No need to be anti HD.

PC is capable of doing everything...

YES, even motion controls.

 

I think he was asking a rhetorical question, not flaming PC gaming.

That said, PC gaming has an unfair advantage, in that it has no generations, and thus any game ever released on PC is included in its library, not to mention emulators.

That said, yes, the PC has great games. Though the consoles also have great non-PC games as well. I love the PC to death, and my life wouldn't be complete without having played Diablo II or WoW, but I pobably wouldn't be a gamer if I never played Zelda, and my life wouldn't be complete if I'd never played the Metal Gear Solid series, so despite the numerical advantage of the PC, I wouldn't give up my console for it. Afterall, my console is newer and plays games with graphics that my crappy PC can't.

A problem with PC gaming is there is no PC platform. Having to upgrade and replace a system much more often than the 6 year lifecycle inherant to console gaming, along with variable performance between PCs and a general lack of security in your gaming directed purchase are several reasons that PC gaming gets a bad wrap. If my PC that I built 4 years ago for 800 dollars could play the games that are coming out for PC now, then screw the Xbox 360. However, safety and security lies with the console, because I know that with said console, I own a platform that will be able to play all the new games released for it just as well as anyone else can. Safety, and security. The bread and butter of the console argument.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

The legs on good pc games is crazy. Starcraft is how old, and still selling. Plus, the development cost of PC games is lower, meaning it will often be the lead platform for smaller developers.

It may be a huge waste of money to build a high end PC, but lots of new games coming out target a low-medium end new pc, or a high end pc that is 3 years old. Sometimes games come out targeting a high end pc (or even a projected high end PC 2-3 years from now), but they figure they will have legs.

You actually made this thread with Ben and naznatips around? You're screwed, dude.

When gaming itself dies basically. Many people still game on PCs whether it's flash games or retail games. It won't die...ever.

 

Yeah, I've taken Naz and Shio on over this issue(with me taking a much more conservative stance on the side of console gaming). It was like Godzilla verses Mecha-Godzilla....this guy is kinda trollish. He's Mecha-screwed. I wouldn't wanna be him when the right people get a-hold of the crap he spewed in the OP.

by the way pc games are for nerds, seriously, playing WOW all day and talking about the latest GPU and crap like that lol...



You have a very narrow view of PC gaming. Sure there are nerd pc games, but there are many other types of pc games.

There are other PC games besides WoW >_>
Alot of people with gaming PC's won't even go near that shit. I know I don't o_o



PC gaming will die when demand for it becomes so low that it can't be profitable for developers and publishers.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I hope this is a joke thread....
