no extra licening fees to MS or Sony.

yea but to play the latest games your most likely going to need to constantly upgrade your systems graphics card and ram and all the other crappotato66

No, that's a myth.

I :lol: 'd at that one. Because it isn't true, if it were, I'd be a PC gamer.

I don't know..

Most PC games that i'm intrested in are also coming to consoles, so i really don't see the value of spending over a $1000 on a gaming pc when i can get the best games it's getting on a $300 console.:?

1. they always have the best graphics ( That's not true. I've seen some horrid looking games on the PC. )

2. they always have the biggest variety of games ( If you include shareware and free flash games, yeah. )

3. more innovative games come out for the pc each month ( No. What innovative game came out in Apr & May?)

4. mods give infinite value ( It depends on the game. Games like NWN, Half Life, etc.. I would agree with.)

5. games have better performance (Depends on the PC. EQ2 played like crap on my PC and 1000's other gamer's PC's)

6. games are the most customizable ( Some games, but not all. )

7. the mouse is the best for shooters and rts ( That's just a choice by the gamer. There are gamers who like a game controller for FPS better)

8. online is generally free, except for most mmos ( If you pay an ISP for broadband, then online isn't FREE. )

9. patches fix bugs and problems ( Most console games don't have these bugs, so there are no need for patches. :P )

10. optimizing performance for games is loads of fun, dont knock it till u try it! ( If you know what you are doing. If you don't you could easily fry your CPU chip and ruin your motherboard. Console games are already optimized for performance.)

11. u have the option of using thousands of worthy peripherals, such as joysticks and gamepads ( Don't think there are 1000's. Maybe a couple 100, but consoles also have a variety of controllers and peripherals. No real advantage there. )

12. uve bought ur system, and u dont have to take crap from any specific company (Youmean you built your system? You still have to take crap from the companies who created all the parts for your PC. )

there are many more reasons except it is pointless to name them all (This thread was pointless. Not sure why I even wasted my time responding. )

No, that's a myth.

You mean people won't need to upgrade to Vista to play Crysis the way it should be played? :roll:

Ok let's say you don't pay for a Directx 10 card or vista. This is the way it "shouldn't" be played right? Yet it will still look 100 times better than anything on any consoles. If this is the wrong way to play I don't want to be right.

You don't need Dx10 to play Crysis. It runs fine without it. You don't need to upgrade constantly to play the latest games.

Crysis is a bad example anyway, it represents the closest thing to a generation in PC gaming, like I'd say you need to constantly upgrade your console to play games because of Gears of War.

I :lol: 'd at that one. Because it isn't true, if it were, I'd be a PC gamer.

It's true according to GameSpot rankings. While they do have weak areas (fighters, racers, platformers) they do have representatives in those genres.

Meanwhile consoles have much less in their weak genres (RTS, Adventure, MMORPG).

i just got to 4 and gave up

4 alone wins

i love how non existent usb controllers are to non pc gamers

problem is, they're not standard... so a lot of great action titles are lacking

...and the lack of any money in their wallets will save them back problems down the road.pundog

Free online, cheaper games and a huge price drop in many hardware components means Hermits will still be having bad back problems.

[QUOTE="mestizoman"]oh, and new pc games are $10 cheaperalbi321

Why is that? I noticed it but never really understood why.

it why you get when you buy hardware sold for a loss, would you rather pay $600 for you x360 and have $40 games?

I don't know..

Most PC games that i'm intrested in are also coming to consoles, so i really don't see the value of spending over a $1000 on a gaming pc when i can get the best games it's getting on a $300 console.:?

What are you basing this on, your ignorance?

1. they always have the best graphics ( That's not true. I've seen some horrid looking games on the PC. )

there are also horid looking games on consoles, oblivion pc owns oblivoion console

2. they always have the biggest variety of games ( If you include shareware and free flash games, yeah. )

you can deny it all you want but its true

3. more innovative games come out for the pc each month ( No. What innovative game came out in Apr & May?)

what innovate x360 game has there been?

4. mods give infinite value ( It depends on the game. Games like NWN, Half Life, etc.. I would agree with.)

5. games have better performance (Depends on the PC. EQ2 played like crap on my PC and 1000's other gamer's PC's)

a pc with same specs as console will run just as good and more power = faster performance

6. games are the most customizable ( Some games, but not all. )

all games are, its a fact

7. the mouse is the best for shooters and rts ( That's just a choice by the gamer. There are gamers who like a game controller for FPS better)

you can deny it all you want but k/m owns gamepad, why did shaddow and halo 2 have to remove auto aim for k/m while gampad has it?

8. online is generally free, except for most mmos ( If you pay an ISP for broadband, then online isn't FREE. )

add $50 on top of broadband for x360

9. patches fix bugs and problems ( Most console games don't have these bugs, so there are no need for patches. :P )

I have had more prolems with console games than pc games. ghost recon jungle storm when you killed enimites the bodys stayed 10 meters up in the air just to name on of the 1000s of bugs in it

10. optimizing performance for games is loads of fun, dont knock it till u try it! ( If you know what you are doing. If you don't you could easily fry your CPU chip and ruin your motherboard. Console games are already optimized for performance.)

not all console games run that well, and its very hard to fry a cpu there days

11. u have the option of using thousands of worthy peripherals, such as joysticks and gamepads ( Don't think there are 1000's. Maybe a couple 100, but consoles also have a variety of controllers and peripherals. No real advantage there. )

how do you play fps with k/m on x360? pc you can play fps with k/m or gamepad

12. uve bought ur system, and u dont have to take crap from any specific company (Youmean you built your system? You still have to take crap from the companies who created all the parts for your PC. )

you can fix overheating unlike x360, you don't have to pay sony lots of$$$$ when your dvd drive breaks, you get 3 years standard warrenty instead of 1 year and play lots more $$$$$ for 2 more years

there are many more reasons except it is pointless to name them all (This thread was pointless. Not sure why I even wasted my time responding. )

blackace

I disagree. PC gamingis most likelydying.XenogearsMaster

but much slower than nintendo

in other words its not dying, explain the huge steam and direct 2 drive sales?
