We both need MS, plain and simple. You need their OS and we need their console. And MSs LIVE service is ever so slightly creeping its way into the PC space. Also Games for Windows branded games are popping up more frequently.

You may be a slave to Steam, but its the Windows logo you look at every time you turn on your PC.

Lol don't start that I know what you are referencing lol. As i said in another thread I can see the PC and 360 sharing more games in the future, 360 would be giving more ,but I'm not complaining :P

give it a rest ram, you little kids just sit there and beg us for presents(lol christmas joke)

live is by no means creeping its way itno the pc space lol. no pc gamer takes it seriously, it has no peropus except having achevements, OH BOY!!! ACHEVEMENTS!!!

i need the game to tell me when i did something noteworthy yay!!!

its a terrible messenger system overall. its ok on a console but next to steam and xfire and everything else the PC has its a joke

and on the windows thing: the only reason we use it (i really wish M$ would die for everythign they make, crappy vista, crappy x360 hardware) is becuse it has the best game support, if another OS had the same, or close to it, support levels, i would be gone in an instant.

besides, who actually pays for windows?

you may be a slave to M$, but someday you will be set free, and you will be lost without them.

once my x360 red rings again (its inevitable)  i am done with M$ consoles. its broken on me 4 times, honestly, how can you whore yourself out to them when they give you defective hardware? thell just end up giving you the xbox-aids or something

No, not blasphomy, but enlightened thinking. One day MS will unite us officially and bring about the golden fanboy age, where hermit and lemming will combine to create a fanboy that has no equal. Not even the cows words can silence our fury.

I predict our unity will happen in 2020 lol.

From why i have been here they like each others and both hate the cows, by the way think hermits instead of hate the ps3 need to hate the lemming because them are the one stealing your exclusives and killing the PC gamming division because microsoft are now spending more on xbox than PC and all PC developers like valve id software bethesda ect, are moving to 360. But hermints do not understrand and still support the lemmings and hate the cows that are not making anithing to kill the PC gaming division.

Elitist PC dumbheads are a million times worse than General-Ram. FYI, elitist PC dumbheads. If any of you exist. Not that I think General-Ram is bad in any way, but you elitist PC dumbheads, if you exist, are worse.Jandurin

 i only say elitist stuff when ppl like ran say utterly stupid things lol, console gaming is fine, i enjoy it, but, its not int he same league as PC gaming IMHO, having done both for many years i believe i have substantial experience to say that

My post was humorous in nature :P dumbhead is the silliest pejorative I know :) Yeah, in many ways PC gaming owns console, but there's a, imo, certain nostalgia, or charm?, in console gaming that I don't see much in PC games much.

you will have moved on to the next big thing, like hologrpahic pokemon cards

Load of crap, the windows OS is just the platform, that happens to be popular, hence why major hardware and games catter to it.. We don't need microsoft windows, if it didn't exist there would be another popular OS that would be used for gaming.. Further more Microsoft doesn't make any money from the games directly, so its nothing like Xbox360 what so ever.

Why do pc gamers care what so ever? Aside from console multiplats, Xbox360 has been a negative factor to the pc by leading to the consoliation of some games that were originally ment for the PC.

I dunno, MGS4 had more game installs than any PC game ever has. I'd say the PS3 is closer to a PC (just as many installs), seeing as the PS4 could very well be a tower :D

:roll:

I'm primarily a PC gamer. I've probably been gaming on the PC for longer than most of you, and even I can recongnise how much the success of the 360 has helped the PC.

For starters there's GFW live. In the beginning it was a laughable online service that had the audacity to charge a fee. Now it is evolving into a decent service and Microsoft are introducing a marketplace so that we can get access to the great titles on Xbox live amrketplace.

Then there's the games. The 360 has a very similar architecture to the PC and it's very easy to port games from 360 to the PC. The upshot of this is that almost every 360 game gets ported to the PC, and being that the 360 is taking the PS3's best exclusives hermits get to play those exclusives.

It is a fact that developers have started shying away from developig for the PC and big exclusives are becoming a rarity. In this climate the 360 is a godsend because of its strong software sales and decent install base. Half the multiplatform titles we see would never have existed or been ported to the PC if the 360 didn't exist

I'm thankful that I can play gears, viva pinata, last remnant, Alan wake etc on my PC. I'm thankful that Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge, Dragon Age and Alpha Protocol exist. I'm thankful that there is a GFW marketplace on the PC and I should soon be able   to download some of XBox live's best titles

If anything, Hermits and Lemmings are more like bastard step brothers the way they go at it in SW, lol

this comparison seems a lot more accurate :P

yea the hermit is the hard working and dependable bastard child where the 360 is the worthless silver spooner

HAHAHA, I literally just laughed out loud.

:roll:

I'm primarily a PC gamer. I've probably been gaming on the PC for longer than most of you,

assumptions.

and even I can recongnise how much the success of the 360 has helped the PC.

For starters there's GFW live. In the beginning it was a laughable online service that had the audacity to charge a fee. Now it is evolving into a decent service and Microsoft are introducing a marketplace so that we can get access to the great titles on Xbox live amrketplace.

Yeah a unneccesary service when we already have better ones like steam which is FREE.. Furthermore Xboxlive market place games like arcade are inferior because we either A) already have games similar to them or B) systems that are far better like gametap.

Then there's the games. The 360 has a very similar architecture to the PC and it's very easy to port games from 360 to the PC. The upshot of this is that almost every 360 game gets ported to the PC, and being that the 360 is taking the PS3's best exclusives hermits get to play those exclusives.

That is by chance, we have had the exact same benefits with other consoles in the past.. Also one can say that the games that are ported were oriignally for the pc but they decided to move it ot the 360.

It is a fact that developers have started shying away from developig for the PC and big exclusives are becoming a rarity. In this climate the 360 is a godsend because of its strong software sales and decent install base. Half the multiplatform titles we see would never have existed or been ported to the PC if the 360 didn't exist

Assumptions, assumptions assumptions and more assumptions..

I'm thankful that I can play gears, viva pinata, last remnant, Alan wake etc on my PC. I'm thankful that Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge, Dragon Age and Alpha Protocol exist. I'm thankful that there is a GFW marketplace on the PC and I should soon be able to download some of XBox live's best titles

Yeah half of those games were attened to be released on the PC to begin with.. So you fail, we don't have gears because of the Xbox360 we have geras because epic wanted to make more money..
