PC gaming is dead. Sorry.

ss

Nah, seriously that's not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is I'm curious as to certain habits of Playstation and Xbox 360 owners in regard to PC gaming as a platform and the Wii, which serves as the counterpoint to the PC.

  1. Why is being hardcore good on the Playstation and Xbox 360 in comparison to the casual Wii, yet if the PC is bought up it's too hardcore and they have no life?
  2. Why is having graphics like Crysis on the PC a bad thing due to cost and PC gamers are a bunch of graphic whores, yet having graphics like the Wii also happens to be a bad thing as graphics are so damn important?
  3. Why is the cost of the PC a problem, yet the cost of the Playstation 3/Xbox 360 in comparison to the Wii isn't?
  4. Finally, why is having the best online on the PC always totally ignored by Xbox Live fans?
  5. Why are MMOs considered the joke of PC gaming, when they're so damn awesome? :(
  6. Why is having the largest market share, and the second largest growth rate means that it's in decline?
  7. Why are shooters being the cornerstone of the PC market a bad thing, yet in regards to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360... two of your biggest games this year is a shooter and the biggest games are also shooters, such as Uncharted and Halo 3.
PC Gaming is dead. Sorry.

MMO's are money traps for losers with nothing better to do but grind in a pointless and boring game for hours on end for the exact same equipment a million other people already have so they can impress the female avatar thats actually a 45 year old 500 pound man posting from his moms basement in Connecticut.

oh my god. Ok, i know system wars is just a bit of fun... and people posting here just do so in their free time, but the reason people like console gaming over PC gaming is simply due to convenience. Basically, they like playing games in the comfort of their loungeroom/setup and if they connected their PC to that setup it wouldn't have the same convenient use as a PC. Yes, PC gaming technology is waaaaay ahead of console technology, due to the fact that consoles are made from the same sort of hardware as PCs, just that they're out of date now. But console technology is good enough to get what most gamers are after, in terms of graphics/gameplay. yet some say the wii lacks in these departments(i am a wii owner and i agree in this).

And Fighting games are for freaks and geeks who love to watch burly men hit eachother, and nealy naked women in soft porn poses, the pause button being a crowd favourite.

And Rythm games are played by idiots who lack any talent other than hitting or stepping on corresponding buttons, to what is on a screen.

The funny part is, the avatars I'm trying to impress belong to my parents. They've been playing over a year, and I need to prove to them I'm a better gamer than they, even with a year different experience in a game.

Don't hate on cardboard boxes man, DON'T DO IT. Solid Snake will come kill you and hump your corpse while comically trying to drag it into a locker, then he will smoke and hide in one, and talk to Otacon about Metal Gear, and ask a question after every thing Otacon says.

it's simple. the majority of people regard PC gaming as some kind of expensive, millionaire nerdfest who spend 80 hours a week on WoW and stuff like that. while we see console game adverts on TV the whole time, there are rarely, if ever any PC games on TV. consoles are hip and popular, and get all the attention, whereas PC gaming is "quieter" and a less renowned platform. sure everypne knows about PC gaming, but why bother when there are consoles which look much more fun (let's face it, a PC looks tremendously boring and nerdy no matter how many neon strips are in it) and cooler?

Please go on, you gave me a stitch.

Yes lets all dictate out 'cool levels' by playing consoles, shall we now?

:lol:

Truly sig worthy.

Unless that was purposely meant to be like that, and in that case, I tip my hat to you for such a good laugh.
