See topic.

Mediocre half wit RPGs and a flood of fancy FPS games are all thats left.

Sure, Starcraft 2 is coming out but, would you pay 1200 bucks to upgrade your computer for one game that might be good?

Crysis is a mediocre FPS with great graphics.

Other than that it's just all MMOs.

RIP PC gaming.

Just depressing when i'm sitting here playing Planescape: Torment, Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale etc. etc. when I have a damn good PC.

I would play the Witcher but, the blocky graphics are just horrible. ( Due to a bug that I can't resolve even after a few weeks of working on it )

Put this in SW.

And BTW, your post is made up completely of your own subjective opinion. There's little to objective argument in there.

Do you actually believe that Starcraft 2 will be a power hog? Blizzard will continue the same way as they did with World of Warcraft and make the game run on most possible systems. SC2 doesn't even look that good (graphically).

What blocky graphic bug are you talking about?

Mass Effect is coming out in few months. Isn't that a good enough RPG for you? If it's not, there's nothing console gaming can offer you.

Console gaming is great for ease of use, but you cannot beat new free content created by gamers (mods). I just finished my new rig and I have been playing Oblivion w/ a bunch of mods almost nonstop for a week. New enemies, new locations, better graphics... all for free (minus the $50 I spent over a year ago to buy the thing). Can console gaming top PC gaming for a competent PC user? Probably not. For the average consumer? Certainly.

Your not even close to being correct. Many of the FPS games are very good, better than console. Just because more people are constantly on XBOX LIVE doesnt mean PC is dead. At least we arent paying like $50 a year or more to play our games. Most PC gaming is free besides WoW or getting a memembership to some stupid MMO

Stop living in the past. Don't be afraid of change my friend. There are a lot of perfectly good RTS, FPS and RPG games out right now. You just have to give them a shot and not be afraid of their differences.

Sure. :roll:

I doubt Blizzard will alienate people with SCII. My guess is it will run on anything that is DX9 or better. And the Swarm will command my will.

You wanna know the interesting thing about PC gaming. Even if it does die - and won't - it won't stop people playing PC games.

People will still be playing games like TF2 and CS ten years from now, as well as StarCraft 2 if it turns out great, or StarCraft if it doesn't. People will still be playing Doom and Fallout and Half Life and Diablo II and Baldur's Gate. Unlike consoles, the PC doesn't have a pre-determined lifespan. There are people getting into PC gaming today who pick up games from the mid 90s.

People will still be playing PC games from the mid to late 90s long, long after the 360 and PS3 have faded into obscurity and been replaced. Every year we get a few magnificent games that add five years onto the PC's lifespan. I've been PC gaming seriously for the last seven years, and I still have dozens of amazing games from the last ten years to play - I'm still discovering really awesome games, games like Myst and Arcanum. I can't imagine how many more there are for me to find.

And the 2007 PC lineup was just so astoundingly good that many of us just didn't have enough time to play all the games that needed to be played, and the funny thing is that 2008 is looking even better - at least in terms of the sheer number of good-great quality games coming.

If PC gaming is dead, and let's face it, you have no 'king clue what you're talking about, then it wouldn't make much of a difference to many. I'll be in my mid 30s by the time I'm gamed out on my existing library.

Now, if you look at the consoles - besides Guitar Hero and Shadow of the Colossus and Resident Evil 4, the consoles (as a collective) haven't had a single great exclusive title that didn't hit PC in equal or better quality at some point since the original PlayStation. The PS2 had three good exclusives. The Xbox had none. The Gamecube had none (I think). The PS3 has so far had none, the 360 has had none that are not coming to PC, and the Wii is very much a matter of preference.

The only good console exclusives I see for 2008 are Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill 5, Street Fighter 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4. And people complain about sequels on the PC? Heh.

i know how to fix ur bug!do u mean to say that u have kind of textured cinematics(blocks like).I suggest u turn off "depth of Field" option!it fixes the problem.also if u have blue blocks during cinematics, turn off "depth of field".By the Way Crysis is not a Mediocre FPS.Its a great FPS that got 9.5/10 on this website.
