Coming from a Console player PC is easily the Best

By the way, the 32" HDTV LCD I'm looking at only costs $750, not $2000....Spartan070

Yeah I've been off the boards for a couple of months and I've sort of come around to PC gaming a bit. Not saying you have and not saying I no longer game on my numerous consoles, just saying that the quality and upside of a PC is difficult to deny.Spartan070

Spartan070, I barely recognized you. :o

Not really. It's hard for people nowadays to keep up with the rapidly increasing system specs, vista caused quite a load of confusion in the switch for games, and the genres it's not getting are really limited.kittykatz5k

That still doesn't help with the second problem, genre veriety. Lets face it, any platformer or sports game or racing game or genre outside of FPS and stratagy is basically bettero on a console. That is unless you buy some added peripheral, in which case is the same as my buying a mouse/keyboard for a 360.

Besides the fact that a controller is nearly guaranteed to work on a pc and the KB-m isn't exactly supported...

:roll:

I think the PC goes through phases... usually when i decide to upgrade. When I upgrade and my setup can handle the graphics etc then I think PC gaming is the ****. Also when new game types come out on PC then its the best.

Currently though I don't see much past FPS/RTS and MMO (which I hate) games that tend to be very derivative.

However Crysis might make what I've just said a load of bull.

Also PC has Torrents, Apps (PhotoShop, Final Cut Pro), Internet, Microsoft Office, iTunes, WMP) and the ability to Burn and Download DVD's

I can do that on the PC i have right now, i just cant play very many games on it.

Just like how PC clearly has the better FPS games... oh wait, all the high rated ones are on consoles.

Just answer one simple question, what new exciting games are coming to PC?

Yep, it's me. Turned in my "Halo-corpse-humping" avatar for some snazzy Half Life 2 apparel.:D

You can play on a regular tv too and you don't use your HDtv just for games. If you like PCs so much buy ...no ...marry one.turgore

Yeah, but if you play on a regular TV it looks like absolute crap. I would never think of playing PC games at SD resolutions. We've been "HD" gaming at higher resolutions years and years now. If you use an SDTV for you're console, you just need a very cheap PC if you want to run you're PC games at SD resolutions, making the "YOU HAVE TO SPEND $5000 EVERY MONTH TO UPGRADEZ LOLZ" arguement void. And I use my PC for much, much, much more than games. There MUUUUUCH more usefull than HDTV's.

As for the last comment..yeah, that's really mature.....how old are you? 12?

Usually unheard games flop horribly like infernal and a lot of those exclusives nobody heard of . ANd do these games look that exciting to you :

Is this a coloring game ^

At least tehy look better than the Miis ^

Blazing angels looks better and Ace Combat 6 will put it to shame.^

Wow PS1 level graphics ^

Forza 2 pwns this ^.

You can hook up your console to your PC monitor.

PC's get the most AAA/AA's every gen. Nice try.

If you say so..

There goes the "TEH BIG SCREENZ" and "TEH COUCHZ" arguement console fanboys love to use. Also, how is it playing with your friends (another arguements you guys like to use against PC gaming) on a monitor? Must be hard....

There are 3 things PC gamers won't enjoy.

1. Playing with your friends in the same room .

2. The mistery of a new system. They are all over the news, launch parties , crowds etc. I don't see that with your videocards.

3. Good fighting games .

YEah unfortunately nobody has really heard of them and they are mostly the same series. Like seriosuly int hat list of AAAs you guys have Chessmaster... turgore

I love this. All the talk, chatter, hype, hopes and expectations surrounding a system launch are unmatched with other types of video game news.

You're point? Consoles also recieved chessmaster, but a lower score. Doesn't make up for the fact that PC had twice as many AAA/AA's as PS2 last gen.......

2. What's 'mistery''?

3. Got tired of fighting games after Street Fighter II Turbo Champion Edition back in the early 90's.

Answers 1 and 3 only pertain to you, congradulations. Number 2 is petty nit-picking.

"Excuses" confirmed.

Halo 2 is an old game. THe same thing happened with resident evil 4. They don't improve the graphics ,sound , gimicky auto-aim , games tend to be longer these days , etc.

O sorry about that. I meant that everybody wonders how the new system will be and stuff leading to intense speculation and even hype.

1. Playing with your friends in the same room . Ever heard of lan parties?!?!?

2. The mistery of a new system. They are all over the news, launch parties , crowds etc. I don't see that with your videocards. We usually have these kind of parties when good games come out and that is... quite often.

3. Good fighting games . This is subjective. The same can be said about consoles not having good RTSes.

We usually have these kind of parties when good games come out and that is... quite often. Ha ...I consider good games Far Cry and Half life 2 ...anything below doesn't deserve it. And don't tell me you have thse parties on the streets with hunderds of people .

3. Good fighting games . This is subjective. The same can be said about consoles not having good RTSes. Command and Conquer , Lotr , World in Conflict , Endwar ...THe 360 has more RTSs than fighting games.

Not really. It's hard for people nowadays to keep up with the rapidly increasing system specs, vista caused quite a load of confusion in the switch for games, and the genres it's not getting are really limited. I'm a shermit (Sheep hermit) and play my PC a lot, but it's hard to even call this a great gaming device anymore.kittykatz5k
