Are any pc guys jumping ship?

Ill be getting a PS4 & Xbone a few years down the track when they are cheaper & have more exclusives

Will get a Wii U when Nintendo discontinue it in a couple of years

Even mods are vanquishing on PC :(John_Read

I'm even less interested in these new consoles than I've ever been.

Why would I do that to myself? I'm not a masochist. When you can eat every day in a great restaurant, enjoying the best dishes and great wine, why would you long for Mc Donalds?

Sounds like a user issue. And it's also a terrible argument, since PC gaming is more accessible today than it ever was, whereas consoles are losing simplicity each new gen (trying hard to be PCs). If someone finds getting a functional gaming rig too hard nowadays, I think he has bigger problems than that one in life, since lots of important things must be too hard for him.

No.  I just canceled my PS4 preorder to save money for PC parts and a car.  I will likely get a PS4 sometime and maybe even a WiiU, but not right now.

Yes, I just jumped...to PC that is. Now it is like...what consoles? I can mod, customize, and ...play games in HD with out of this world graphics...why didn't I jump earlier...

Been PC gaming for a few years now and i'm fed up with it. I'm definitely ditching it completely and riding with next-gen consoles for my gaming needs -- the downsides of PC gaming really aren't worth the headaches.

Eventually, but for now the Wii-U and PS4 are the only options on the table this year. I wish MS would drop the price though because it would definitely be a day 1 for me.

I'm curious... when Nvidia or AMD break some other game chasing after an extra percent they can crow about in a driver update blog post, how is that the user's fault? Because Nvidia does it all. The. F**king. Time. A lot of driver headaches would go away if a GPU vendor would just focus on writing maintainable code that doesn't need to change much from one release to the next. Instead, they're chasing after benchmark wins, because that's management's priority, and if something breaks, they don't see that as a problem.lowe0

For years, I must've been doing a perfect job staying away from those newly "broken" games, since I don't remember the last time I encountered a game-breaking issue related to a driver.

What are the headaches of PC gaming?

• Expensive to maintain
• Boring Mature Community
• Second-Class Citizen Treatment
• Steam
• Uncomfortableness

• Dealing with drivers and their incompatibilities

Are people still thinking this way? You know its 2013, right?

Expensive to maintain? - Erh, you know you don't HAVE to upgrade. The beauty of PC games is that the settings can be tailored to your preference or technical limitations or lack thereof.

Boring Mature Community - What the hell is this? Just... NEXT!

Second-Class Citizen Treatment - Again, wth? Is this regarding the quality of ports? Or the delay of releases? Trust me, you'll have way too many games to be able to keep up with whatever releases at the time.

Steam - Thought you were listing negatives, not positives.

Uncomfortableness - This may be the only topic I can agree with, regarding getting used to the setup. Regardless, you can just hook a X360 controller and have a go. Just plug and play. No hassle.

Keyboard - See the point above. Though I have to add that once you get accustomed to the precision found in KB/M, you'll hate controllers.

Dealing with drivers - Its 2013, it's not like it was a decade ago. The experience is very seamless, even more when you have apps such as Steam that take care of most of that for you. Drivers? Most, if not all can be dl'ed automatically or even have notifications when a new one is up and its just 'click click click'.

I have been gaming on consoles my whole life, and have loved every single minute of it. Got a PC about a year ago, although I have played a huge amount of hours before in MMO's. Consoles are great at what they do, but they're not really as cheap as many might think. Games are expensive and take quite an amount of time before finding a good sale, if any.

PC's have so many options that you really are missing out on.

[QUOTE="cfisher2833"]

No, not really. I'd prefer to simply upgrade my computer. I'll probably pick up a PS4 after it's been out for around four years, gone down in price, and accumulated a decent selection of exclusives. The only PS4 exclusive I find remotely interesting at the moment is Resogun. Killzone? Bleh. Deep Down? Capcom :roll: Infamous? Not interesting enough to warrant a purchase. Maybe in a few years, but not now.

 = 28

28 + 360 = 388 for PC

So the current standings are:

PC = 388

360 = 382

PS3 = 302

PC has the most aaa/aa. Most total games.

PC has the most aaa/aa exclusive. 3x more than any system. Most total Exclusives

Best gfx/performance.

Best version of 90% of multiplats.

If PC didn't win this gen, then Obama didn't win the last 2 terms.

PS3 also had the most exclusive GOTY winning awards.  

Hell Consoles perior had the most GOTY awards.  I think the only GOTY winning titles that are shared between PC and consoles are Gears of War and Skyrim...all the other GOTY winning games of the generation are not available on PC.  PC won 0 GOTY awards for PC only titles the entire generation, so much for winning.

PC won the GS meta game. Since you are using GS for those goty's right?

We value more aaa/aa games, more aaa/aa exclusives, better gfx, and the best multiplats over 1 or 2 GOTYs and lol 3 vs 1.

You said "so much for winning" when PC facutally won this gen at this forum. That is a lie.

Having more games (aa+aaa) more excluaives (aa and aaa) and the best version of multiplats. Lets not mention best gx and performance.

Can't remember what I haven't experienced. But I'll give you BF3, since there indeed was a lot of talk about issues, so it's fair to conclude it's a valid problem. Still, it's a single game, and well, shit happens, sometimes, there are problems with games, no matter the platform.

Your post makes it sound like driver issues are commonplace, severely affecting your platform experience. For me, that was never the case.

We don't need you reviewing games for us and giving your opinion, that is not part of the meta-game.  Even if it was, noone would take you seriously as you have 3 troll alts here and are known baiter with faking and lying.

BTW, They were probably better:

"If our standard of comparison for PC games was "the console version," the PC version would get a higher score than the others over 90% of the time."

Oh, I definitely agree, in a perfect world, everything would work right out the box. But sadly, this is far from a perfect world, and with being a gamer, no matter on what platform, you simply have to accept some risks like a system dying on you, a game being bugged, not working, etc.

And since games are getting patches all the time across all systems, guess those patch fees aren't too costly. Else, Bethesda would probably be out of business for a while now.

:roll: The cows in system wars are always hilarious. They go on and on about how horrible PC gaming is, yet they still feel the need buy gaming PCs. If you hate PC gaming so much, then why did you spend thousands of dollars on it? If console gaming is so much better, then why did you feel the need to get a PC? Shouldn't your console have been enough? You do realize that by buying a gaming PC, your'e tacitly saying that your consoles weren't enough, right?
