pc is the highest form of gaming in terms of gameplay and graphics but i think you should focus on the gameplay aspects. When other's read this , it's going to make others think that you only care for graphics which the defining characteristic of a casual gamer. Anyhow, pc is the highest form due to the immense library of games ranging from fps to rpg.

yes yes yes crysis, the one mighty game that kills everything around it graphically.

but really pc gaming is about :

indie games like savage 2, sins of a solar empire, and smaller ones like audiosurf

games that try do something different stalker and crysis

sims, gtr2, il2, flight sim

mods , counter strike, the hidden

rts games , company of heroes, the total war series

and the big bad world of MMOs

I wouldn't call PC gaming the higest form of gaming. It's just the most refreshing one, first time and indepedent developers can access a very large portion of gamers on the PC. Which makes for a sustainable environment for them to survive. If it wasn't for PC gaming innovating games wouldn't be possible, because the costs of console gaming is to great to take risks.

The Wii may be starting to change that all though.

Meh for some genres. Civ 4 and Baldur's Gate own my soul after all. But there's no Zelda, no Dead Rising, no God of War. I prefer consoles over all.locopatho

There is Gears of War though !!! There will be DMC4 and GTA4. There will be Mass effect and Halo 3.There will be Fable 2. And so many other games plus the PC exclusives.!! So why not? IF someone wants to spend more money on PC,actually he gets far more than an awesome gaming platform.

Highest form of graphicsloseittoo

Not only. Because RTS - MMORPGs - FPS - playing better,feel better. And if you want to play a consolite game you simply attach a Xbox or PS controller to your PC. Its that simple.(for games like DMC4 and alike)

yes it is but console gaming is more fun and interactivedelol

Depends your tastes to say more fun. If you cant live without SMG and Zelda then yes you can say that.So for other consoles.But overall... Theres nothing comparable. As for interactive,no comment!!One thing to add? I can playALL PC games since 1996 (huge game library)PLUSALL previous gen console games thru emulators. So PC is the best backward compatibility platform. That plays from gameboy DS to PS2,DC,SNES,GENESIS,PSone,N64,GC, EVERYTHING,that previous gens can offer since 1988!!!!!!!!!!!

PS>If you own the cartridges or CD-roms/DvDs of thegames you play thru emulator you arent illegal by the law btw,whoever wants to know!!!

I can say 21312 more reasons to prefer a PC than a console.Internet -Multimedia-123123 net free games,chats,uploads-downloads and more and more and more. But we talking about games only here (even if good net and free net games is a huge plus imo). So to end this,if you arent fan of Zelda-mario / MGS4-FF13 cant see a reason to spend more than 300-400 for a console. If you are then yes it worths to buy a console.its simple as that. But you cant compare a PC to any console Overall,because PC is far better in any way you try to see it.

I like console's because i like to sit on my couch and use a wireless controller and see my tv.

P.S. my cousin said pc's are dying.

I wonder what blizzard should say about that ... lol

No, its has the most stuff, however consoles have 1 major advantage, 4 players LAN play ect... something Ic ant do on my PC along...

Thats about it, and some genres weak on the PC (goes both ways )

Not a higher form ... I can see why consoles are fun since I own them myself .... for immersion and single player or online,lastibility and creativity play the PC is defintly top dog.

braindead fan boys gotta love em

anyhow it really depends on the games you like. if rts games, simultaions and mouse and keyboard for FPS, then no contest PC.

but there are other games that are out on consoles that the PC don't get. Games like darkness, GT5, burnout, etc.

so really the best gaming is having all systems.

that said if you have the cash, no console produces graphics like crysis and the scale of flight simulator x(the whole world is mapped. you can fly from london to new york in real time if you wanted)

Lots of shooters, strategy and RTS games. Driving and sports too but I much prefer them on consoles. Not a lot of action adventure or platformer stuff though as far as I know. I think both consoles and PCs have their strengths, and you can't really say one is better than the other...

2008 by my list ( Alan Wake removed to 2009, Mass Effect no added so +1 to RPG)

RPG = 7
MMO = 5
RTS = 6
TBS = 2

Simulation = 5
Action = 8
Racing = 1 ( I left out proper racers, since none of them looked great )
Adventure = 7

Sanbox Action = 1

2008, Variety for the PC. Doesnt have the fighters or the JRPGs though.

Definately has variety, but doesn't have every genre. Never heard of PC platformers or action really, do they exist?

AM WIN indeed.

Although I need a console for some exclusives.

That's why it's best to have PC and at least one console. Any person with just one system is missing a lot.

Just played Crysis on a friends decent rig for the first time ever.

Yeah, that's the only problem with Crysis. Once you play it, every other FPS seems some how lacking.

We're all dead!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIbumFHE_Tg

I think that the guy was joking though at least I hope so. Its already been said but the highest form is everything.

I believe PC gaming has much higher quality than console game. Games seem more poslished and have more features and feel more well rounded. They just feel like there is more to them.

I wouldn't say it is the highest form of gaming.

Because you know Epic was the backbone of PC gaming. :roll: They haven't made a PC exclusive in a few years and the nerfed the UT series for consoles yet PC gaming lives on, I believe it is fine.

Games like Sins of a Solar Empire and Crysis show that the PC is still alive and well.
