PC gaming dying?

[QUOTE="Rage010101"]

[QUOTE="roflcopter317"]

I seen that list before. Most of the games on it are not even single A, some not even exclusive.

roflcopter317

Almost all of them are exclusive, some dont even have a review score. So whats your point?

If I was to put together a list of some games on the 360 or ps3, trust me, that would get blow out of the water.

please do so. then we can break down all the games in the pc list vs games on ur consoles combined list. As a tip, i think you're diving into a realm you know nothing about.

Mabey some day when I have nothing better to do. Anyway I did make a big list on a rainy day based on a game rankings. The 360 had more AAA and AA games. But the hermits hid behind gamespot "No! ur meant to make a list on gamespot because we are on here!".

I thought a macro was some sort of script you run, and you can build all the buildings you want alot faster. Isn't that giving yourself an unfair advantage? Which is cheating. Sorry if I sounded stupid I have never used a macro.

Doesn't that even it out? I checked halo 3's scores, and only 4 of them where from an xbox website or magazine. I hardly doubt it would make that much of a difference.

no they are talking about in SC terms, and the terms are usually in reference to a player's skill rather than a game.

micro management is in reference to a player's ability to micromanage or macromanage his units. SC2 doesnt heavily require either.... its actually a very simple RTS, much like halo wars... tho probably not as simple as halo wars (havent played halo wars)... but its popular mainly for its simplicity.

I hope you're not being serious. Id like to see you play me. Then save the replay and see what you did wrong. Just to let you know, Im a daimond leaguer in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3v, and 4v4. Theres as much micro/macro management in sc2 as there was in sc1, hell probably even more to honest.

I want to see you beat this kid in tetris

doesnt mean tetris is a complex game... just means some people excel at simple tasks.

Just because you are better than me in SC2 or that kid is better than you in tetris... doesnt make the games anymore complex.

i platinum'ed all during placement matches so it didnt take me long to get into daimond. I got injured tho so i havent played in almost a month. Every now and then tho i play Sotis (strike of the imperial sanctum). its sc2's DOTA basically. Extremely fun and addicting. gotta love mods/custom games.

I don't want to put down any of the games anyone likes but... Rts games are pretty boring imho. Strategy just isn't fun.

exactly what im talking about... things like developing hand speed have nothing to do with the complexity of the game. Thats why SC has always been so popular, its a relatively simple game that certain people take to an extreme level.

I mean are you gonna sit here and tell me SC2 requires more complex macromanagement than civilizations?

what SC2 does is has relatively simple micro/macro but the competition lies in doing both those things at an almost superhuman level. Similar to someone playing a simple game like tetris at a very high level.

Heard it in the PS1 era, heard it in the PS2 era, heard it in the PS3 era. See the similarities? Yet, 10 years later the PC sits as one of the strongest and most diverse systems to date. Funny how some people think. Just my 2 cents. I'm not here to argue with anyone on it. Fanboys and haters will exist. Just beating a dead horse. HCMBusiness_89

Actually PC gaming has been dying since the late 80's, and thats just AFAIK, who knows what lies beyond that.

yeah it takes time. to be fair i bought sc1 launch day wayyy back then 12 years ago. Im a veteran at it. Also i was in the sc2 beta so that also helped me out alot. To give ya some tips i would really recommend you finish all the challenges. they teach you alot! try to get gold in all of them it makes good practice and plus you'll get a really cool spectre portrait hehe. I would also recommend you try SoTiS. its a custom game for sc2. It seems simple but it actually has a deep learning curve. exrermely fun. you just control 1 unit so you sorta learn how to micro with that as well.

any sc1/sc2 veteran will tell you strategy > apm. Having a good balance of both is best. And yes i would say sc2 requires alot more micro/macro than civs. They have intense tournaments for a reason. The day civs becomes a country's national sport is the day i'll agree with you

Anyway, out of all the Starcraft, RTS and other stuff going on here. Going back to topic - I think that PC Gaming is the most versatile kind of gaming. Why? Because almost any game can adapt to it, whereas not every PC game can be imported to Consoles just as easily, without losing some features of the PC version. As i said before, PC Gaming might be expensive, but we PC Gamers make every cent spent worthy.Awaken92

couldnt have said it better myself. Plus once your up and running, gotta enjoy those sweet steam sales and overall cheap pc game prices
