8 Reasons Why PC Gaming isn't Dead

[QUOTE="WARxSnake"][QUOTE="ukillwegrill"][QUOTE="WARxSnake"][QUOTE="ukillwegrill"]

Now the only people that play PC are those who sit in their bedroom,with the curtains closed,in the dark,huddled over a desk,smelling faintly of semen and urine.

And WoW well,i dont even wanna touch that

ukillwegrill

or people who are cool and smart like me who have their PC next to their entertainment system and hooked up to a 46" HDTV and a Dell 24inch monitor (because monitors are better than HDTVs).

its not rocket science to integrate your PC into your entertainment system..want me to show you? lol.

No thank you,mummy will do it for me.

Pc gaming is known as the nerd realm for a reason

and console gaming community is known for its immaturity and ingorance for a reason as well. thanks for proving it.

Anything for a friend

so you're admitting you're immature and ignorant? you should work more on that "I > logic" bit, it's not really working out.

to be honest, the last good game that come out on PC was Doom.XenoNinja

You mean that was the last game you played? You should really get out more.

I'm being honest, but truthfully, it was the last PC game I played.

That'd be awesome, coffee table for the KB and M, watching that big screen, it'd be my Blu-Ray player, game player, and everything else all in one. Pwnage.

yes, its one of the standard resolutions. Usually though, youhave more chance of a game supporting 1080p if the game is a multiplatform released game. You can always edit the ini files or shortcut file if a game doesnt.

Native 1080p PC gaming....Now that'd be awesome.
wemhim

It will happen soon.

I'd like something like that. But probably an HDTV(Although they're smaller, I'm used to TVs, I'll stick with them for now, they're cheaper too), but with a higher risen coffee table, so I don't need to slouch. I really need a job. Also, do PC games often support the 1920x1080 res? Since it's not a monitor resolution(I don't think), but a TV one, I don't know if they'd support it much, I'm sure if not, there's something close though.

But manually editing wouldn't make it native though right? Just upscaled(I don't know though...). But I also thought of a hospital tray like thing before, especially for a bed room(Since I'd have a bed, not a couch).

most games can output at a lot of resolutions, its up to your monitor/tv/projection to support some or all of the resolutions. So yes, if you have a game that runs at 1080p and you play on an hdtv or 1080p projector, its 1:1 of course.

In the end of the day PC gamers can keep RTS they all suck except Starcraft and Warcraft 3,MMOS I've played my share and I'm glade I dont play em any more since well for example playing WoW is $180 a year and thats one game...

PC gamers need to realize that two genres cant keep PC alive and healthy with FPS making their way to consoles and sometimes even selling better than their PC counter parts or they stay about the same (sales wise).RPGs are slowly making their way to PC (The witcher) but its not moving fast enough to make a impact like it did for consoles (my guess playing 5 hours+ on a KB can suck).A/A games especially so far in 08 have made their debut back to consoles with a long MIA of A/A in 07, NMH and DMC4 within a month of each other release wise is pure Ecstasy for A/A fans.

Now I'm not trying to say PC gaming is dead all I'm saying is its not improving or losing.

i havent come across some that are specifically made for gaming, no :( the closest is to stick to ATX so you have all the room you need for the big nvidia card and a good power supply.

some vertical cases do work as horizontal cases however, you might want to check that out. its more of an aesthetic question.

im quoting myself :P

personally, i wouldnt go for horizontal, for cooling issues and just that as you pointed out implicitly, they are usually not made for gaming.

nothing wrong with having a beautiful case like this sitting next to your home theatre:

no, its more because your points have been raised over and over in system wars and those points have always been shot down in the millions of "pc gaming is dead" threads.

And????? You are saying we have more FPS than the console market, which is probably true and they are the best versions. RPGS have always been on PC, diablo is not a recent game. A/A? action adventure? You do know PC is getting DMC right? After NHM and DMC where is the next A/A game? Eh? PC also has alot more A/A games coming this year.

Also I'm glad PC users don't have to go through insipired rehash number 4,5,6 to get good games.

To be honest. PC Gaming can't recreate playing with friends in the same room on one tele :) thrones

4 friends play on a lan.

EDIT: Even better the wii owns this department. Nothign can compare to that one. SSBB and mario kart FTWWWW

In all honesty I havent gone to a friends house and played 360 in probably over a year. Most of the time I'm just playin by myself.
