I really doubt it.  Used to PC game until this gen b/c $$.  Was okay at first, but continually worsened.  Also, kb/m >>>>>>>>>>>> God >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> controllers.

just a matter a good games and a fair price.TheWalkingGhost

PC has been the sole contender for that one in recent years.  I mean, Sony has a few cool exclusives, but not sure if it's worth dropping the cash for.  Only reason I went console was b/c it was (initially) cheap.

I went 'all PC' about 4 years ago. I had a 360 and ps3, sold both, and never been happier.

Don't forget a PC isn't just a gaming machine, it can do just about anything else.

This thread took a turn for the awesome :D where's my beer 

I like both, but I don't think all the consoles will be failing us.

I mean, there are different turn-offs for different people and also positives, including exclusives.

From my point of view, the Wii U has the controller as the selling point, since the console is under-powered, and it doesn't appeal to me. I don't feel like I'll get one for another Mario or Zelda, even though they are good games. There would be a higher chance of me getting a Wii U if the people who usually make 3D Mario and Zelda came up with something completely new.

With the Xbox One, the downer for me is the mandatory Kinect, but I may still end up getting one depending on the games. Having to connect to the internet regularly is no issue for me. I've got a constant internet connection. My understanding is that if you haven't connected your Xbox to the internet in over 24 hours, or whatever time period they set, then you'll have to connect to the internet the next time you want to play something. There won't be some kind of punishment if you don't use your Xbox for a number of days and leave it unconnected to the internet. That would be crazy, just like it would have been crazy for it to need an internet connection all the time.

Sony and MS having a policy for used games is not a big deal to me, as I rarely buy used games. I find plenty of good deals for new games. It's not ideal for gamers but I don't see it as some kind of disaster.

I actually like it how all game discs will be installed on the PS4 and Xbox One, meaning no need to bother with the discs after that. Plus there's still the upside of being able to connect these two consoles to my HDTV and speakers without any issues.

Gotta buy a new computer for school anyway, so I might as well toss in a few more bucks (that will return itself in software savings, anyway - <3 DD sales) and get a decent gaming platform.  At this point: Nintendo is a joke; you can't trust Microsoft to not rape your puppy in its sleep, and while Sony might make a decent offering, I'm not so crazy about their exclusives (Last of Us looks really cool, though), and PC is the only viable platform for RTS and a superior one for FPS.  I don't split screen game nearly as often as I used to, so I'm really starting to run out of reasons to stick with consoles.  Sh!t, I game on the laptop with an ancient integrated graphics chip more than the 360.

Already made the switch in december. There is nothing to play on consoles, there has been a drought for like 2 years. I played my first videogame in 1989, and have been console gaming for over 20 years. No more consoles for me.  I was  considering buying a new macbook for school/work, instead I built my gaming pc for around the same price. All i play on my 360 is an occasional game of fight night champions, although i do use the 360 controller w/dongle for some pc games.

This is supposed to be the next gen, why do these "next gen" consoles not have eyefinity and/or multi monitor support??? On the precipice of 4k tv's and monitors, why cant these next gen consoles even drive a 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 panel? 3d tv support??  No display port, no dual link dv-i, nothing. Does nobody care about this stuff?

Those resolutions would take too much processing power for consoles. The mass market for TVs these days is 1080p, and since people play their consoles on TVs, the idea is to produce a nice jump in graphics from last gen consoles at 1080p. Going from 720p to 1080p along with improved graphics is enough.

Apparently refusing to explain a comment to someone it wasn't directed to and then telling him that, equal getting demolished? One guy said somebody wasn't being defensive to which I said that wasn't directed to him and to mind his own business.....Everything else had nothing to do with that comment, of which was never expanded either way. But I am being demolished.....By one comment I never clarified or even stated what the intent was....because the person I said it to wasn't asking. Hermits. Last comment comment I will make on the matter, because how clyde and lawless responded to this was moronic to begin with. Have with your little internet thing...That doesn't make any sense....

Defensive much? :lol:

:lol: not surprising this is coming from a lemming. Im prettysure after that abominatuon MS has put out lately, the majority of people converting are lemmings. PC + Ps3(4) is the way to go.

I have no drive to game on a PC. I have an alright computer that can play most games just fine but I never use it. I want to update my graphics card but I dont because I feel like its going to be a waste of money.

Lol like how you say consoles has nothing you want, yet you posted on a TLOU thread that you wished you had a PS3 again for that game.

or

When TLOU was first shown you cried how it was just another zombie game, yet later on you praised it.

It's ok I still <3 you

I actually said "I missed nothing from consoles" .TLOU isn't out yet, still haven't missed anything. Never said I didn't want anything though

And the other one is called a changed of mind not being hypocritical. On first impressions of TLOU (The one trailer that was shown at that time) it DID look like another Zombie game, I still stand by what I said then. It wasn't until we got some proper footage of it and details that I started to warm to the game

Nice to know I am so fondly in your memories though or that what I said stuck in your mind for so long. I guess I just have that effect on people, of course you'd love me for it

I have no idea why you're so butthurt on what I said since it should have been obvious I was giving you crap, given you're one of the few posters that isn't an imbecile on here unless you go all "derp hermit master race" on us. Also I have a damn good memory when it comes to things that stand out on here once you've been in SW as long or longer than I have.

Been a PC gamer for ages, so...yeah.

You don't like RTS games? What kind of gamer are you?!

I understand if  you don't like sc2 as your personal opinion, but I personally love it, easily my favorite game of all time, which replaced my previous favorite game of all time (brood war).

But now for the fact.  Died?  no way!  Starcraft has never died in the slightest.  In fact it's done nothing but grow since its inception in 1998.  Ever so climbing in popularity with every year.  It exploded like crazy when starcraft 2 released.  Starcraft is bigger and better than ever before!  there are profesional leagues all over the place now and growing.  It is spear heading professional gaming more than any other game in the world.
