pc gaming will never die. ppl still play bnet and cs and stuff

the only reason i moved to console gaming is that competing in mmorpgs are a real pain especially where grinding is involved.

Console gaming on the other hand is relaxing and you can take your time with it. Imo, some the greatest games I've ever played are on the pc like diablo 2 and doom 3. The only console games to really wow me are the n64 and psx gen. This current gen i can only say the games are really fun and addicting but nothing that will impress me too much. But who knows...the good stuff is still yet to come. I still have faith this gen.

This is the dumbest thread ive seen in a while.

You say PC FPS are rehashes!? PC invented the FPS and is the only platform invigorating the genre. Halo is a run and gun shooter. The reason its so praised is because it can finally do what the PC has been able to do for ages (online multi)

Crysis has shown the way with innovation for the fps genre, it incorporates a sandbox level and while this is nothing new i know, im yet to see consoles produce a fsp that does this.

Also RTS is only real on a PC, dont even kid yourself into thinking console RTS will be better then PC rts, because a controller simply does not have the precision. (The wii mighte be able to produce a worth RTS but its graphical qualities will limited compared to PC versions, and the curser flicking if too far away may cause hiccups)

Plus, PC gameing is supported by a community that makes their own mods and games from existing ones. Look at CS, how long has that been around. I know people still play CS 1.6, does anyone play Halo 1 anymore?

1 more point id like to mention as another major reason PC gaming wont die? The PC has greater market penertration then ever before. And while hardcores will need to have Gfz Cards, Onboard gfx's do fine for lots of people. Thus when they get board, many may utilise their pc and play games on it rather then go buy a console, especially if they just like to dabble with it. Despite the comman perception, not every game requires tweaking and fixes to get it to run. I would say 95% of the games i have install and run without hiccups on vista

ITT Joke Poast. If you believed it, you fail.GodLovesDead

it felt like a joke post, but you never know when someone types that much. The only thing I bothered to comment on was Valve going to consoles.

PC gaming died along time ago. Soon all you will get on the PC are flash games and The Sims sequels. Most real gamers have moved onto consoles.ResEv1l
That explains why it has the most AAAEs and AAEs, not to mention 200million gamers (says MS)

If anything its pitful that people think otherwise

Sigh. Gaming died when Blizzard made Warcraft 2. It's not our fault no one told the hermits.

[QUOTE="JiveT"][QUOTE="CherryShooter"]

In an already losing battle, the final defense has been blown. Professional game developer CliffyB has now stated that PC games are now dying and is now all about sims and WoW which is completely true.

Valve? LOL the 360 and PS3 has orange box so its not exclusive.

PC gaming is going to die by the end of this year
Because, EVERYGAME except for those low budgest games like Sin of a **** Empire is going to sell poorly and be poor. Everygame will be pirated, everygame thats previously exclusive will need to latch on to the consoles to make profit and finally theres a wider spread community present within the consoles

Interface vs PC slob
The PC users? They have to communicate from Xfire, Steam or AIM. Steam Community is a subpar version of Xbox Live, the voice chat in XBL works beyond what Steam can ever imagine, the achievement integration is much cleaner, more demos for the 360 in comparison to steam and we can download movie files straight into the comfort of the our HDTV setup, something in which hermits will have to move their entire PC setup to a television in order to do where as the 360 and PS3 is simply plugin and play.

Everygame for the console has an counter for an PC exclusive
Dragonage - Its made by EA, dont wish your luck hermits this is going to be on the 360
Starcraft 2 - Halo Wars will easily best it.
Spore - Wii version and nextgeneration speculation. Regardless I can have FUN playing it on my Wii instead of playing with a hunchback
STALKER : Clear Flop - OK i just wanted to add this in, this is a buggy POS that is in no way good. Perhaps the hermit's quality has stooped low that they are desperate for any shooter I see..


Oh wait wwait thats it? Well console owners get.
The fastest ACTION game and one of the best action/adventures - NINJA GAIDEN II
PS3 has the driving simulation all down, we get Gran Turismo down. We also have Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy 13 which will most likely blow anything else away.
Wii - No More Heroes is an awesome game, Brawl, Mario Kart and more.

No matter WHAT console you choose, youll have a better library of games. Just another example of how consoles are clearly overpowering the PC.

Piracy
BUT BUT BUT PIRACYYYYY DOESNT MATTER!?! Well ever thought of what Crysis would sell if it werent for piracy? Alot more, twice in fact but its too bad that piracy is slowly crippling developers away from the PC just like how Epic made their mistake when they generously made UT3 and Gears of War for the PC. Its a good thing Epic learned their mistake too, so they dont have to spend any budget on a dying market.

Scenarios
Guy #1 : Hey want to play Halo 3?
Guy #2 : Sure, lets play over live and party up with a matchmaking system that will allow us to play people against our level.
Guy #1 : Sounds like fun!
Guy #2 : Maybe we can play Gears of War too?
Guy #1 : Yeah! Ill invite my friends over and use guest feature to quickly have friends in a game within a second.
Guy #2 : Cool meet you on Live!

Is this possible in PC games? I think not.
Guy #1 : Hey wanna play..counterstrike source?
Guy #2 : Thats an old game, do us PC owners have any other multiplayer game to play?
Guy #1 : ..well COD4
Guy #2 : Im already playing that...on the 360 with friends and a larger community...I played the PC version at a friends house and nobody communicates
Guy #1 : Yawn...might as well grind more in World of Warcraft

Conclusion
So there you have it, PC games now in a gutter. PC games are dying and now you dare attack CliffyB and state that he's ingorant when you guys are too blind to realize that your precious PC games are over? Right.

mo0ksi

Wow. Great work TC. I think the most important thing about it was pointing out how overrated Stalker is. It's probably the buggiest bunch of junk since Big Rigs. Have fun wandering around in a field for six hours trying to find your next ammo clip. :|

There's so many things wrong with this statement. STALKER is an underrated marvel that IMO eclipses both CoD4 and Halo 3. Especially when pretty much all of the bugs have been fixed with the patches released.

Also, wandering in a field for 6 hours for an ammo clip? They're scattered all over the place while you search dead bodies and find ammo with them. Clearly shows that you haven't played STALKER.

Yeah stuff the rest of this silly topic!!! Lay off Stalker man jeebs at least play it before having such a strong hate for it! It is honestly now next to Halo 3 ("Pure Fun"), Half Life 2 and Expansions, Crysis, one of my Favourite FPS games and easily one of the best FPS games released last year.

Honestly lol it is really good you should try it Bugs well i had NO problems on my Gefore 7800GTX but now i have a 8800GT im having trouble running the game so i have to sort that out yet otherwise i would be playing the single player all over again right now.

This reminds me of the scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail;

Cart man: Bring out your dead platforms!

Console: Hold there, I have one

PC: I'm not dead

Console: You'll be stone-dead in a minute, quit your whining

PC: I think I'll go for a walk...

lol u see how popular pc games are .. ex. sc, Wc 3 (original gameplay and dota), diablo 2

These three games alone beat any console game imo. I haven't been addicted to console games like these 3 games have.

Bashing the pc topics always fail. What's next...bashing hdtvs to see which one "THE BESTT"

There's so much ignorance in the TC's post it would take a team of professors a life time to bring him up to speed on his lack of knowledge. It amazes me that people like this are able to even survive.

PC gaming accoutns for over 21% of the overall industry according to the NPD, the PC has the most announced exclusives, the PC has the most highly rated titles, etc. I don't see PC gaming dieing anytime soon. UT3 sold like crap because he made a rehash of UT2K4, and PC gamers don't stand for casual rehashed crap.Vandalvideo

you mean 13% of the total industry.

That number didn't include online distribution. According to Valve and other sources, in 2004 online distribution accounted for more than 25% of their overall gross domestic product. That number has incressed exponentially since then to more than 50%. That means that the 13% more than doubles if you include online distribution.

14% in the USA only - against the Wii, PS2, PS3, 360, PSP, DS.

Not even including digital distribution.

Far from poor, strong actually.

[QUOTE="Tiefster"][QUOTE="CherryShooter"][QUOTE="Tiefster"][QUOTE="CherryShooter"]

Yours is a statement of a elitist hermit that would jump to defend everything about his beloved PC while mine in the otherhand is one with full honesty. If your statement is true, my statement is god.

CherryShooter


So since SC2 has a proven formula it means its mediocre crap? Wow, this means consoles have more crap than PC individually. Using that logic, Halo 2, 3, CoD4, DMC4 and many other were just mediocre rehashes.

All of them are rehashes but that doesnt stop them from being great.


So then that means SC2 should be great.

Than leave Halo Wars alone and wait for the reviews to roll around.

That is awfully hypocritical of you, considering those threads you made in which you incessantly bashed Starcraft II, using as "evidence" photoshopped screenshots of the original game for some bizarre reason, calling it "Starflop" and resorting to pulling up the Gamespace of a third-party Starcraft expansion pack to somehow discredit Starcraft and Blizzard, even though the game you pulled up had nothing to do with Blizzard at all. >_>
