PC gaming have been declining since the 90's. and with increased piracy and PC gaming isn't doing anything to expand the industry.PowerCharged



You can pirate any game on any console.

let be frank.



I'll be ted.

PC gaming is like a shark. it hasn't evolved since the dawn of time.



Thats because it's the perfect killing...I mean gaming machine and doesn't need to evolve.

PC gaming is not noob friendly. casuals can't get into it and its too expensive. even if you could afford a cheap set up. the monitor alone could cost you about $200-$500.



An HDTV will cost you about $1000-$4000 and they are hard as hell to set up or so I'm told.

Most hermits don't even buy games. they use bittorent.



Sales charts say other wise.

PC doesn't have any exclusives, no matter how long it takes, every single pc game gets ported down the line.



Wrong and who cares anyway? Games like oblivion are FAR better on PC with much better graphics and tons of mods.

PC is not backward compatible.



It can play any game if you tweak a few settings.

PC OS cost a fortune. games that requires vista forces you to buy a buggy OS.



What games need vista? Halo 2....and....??

you can't play PC games on your couch.



Yes you can you can hook it upto your TV, plug in a controller(or just use a table) and bingo.

you have to install every single game and if you lose your CD key its all over.



Install it once and PS3 does that now too and why would you lose a cd key? Keep the disc with the case and it'll be safe forever.

PC games are never completed. there is always some darn patch coming down the line and if you don't have internet, you are stuck with some BS game.



Same with next gen consoles.

Mods are for cheaters, and is unnecessary.



Cheaters? Do you know what a mod even is?

PC games are not in HD.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

when you play a game like half life 2 or any vehicle driven games, its suddenly gets really frustrating when you hop into a vehicle and all the basic controls changes



Joke thread right?....right?

PC gaming have been declining since the 90's. and with increased piracy and PC gaming isn't doing anything to expand the industry.

let be frank.

PC gaming is like a shark. it hasn't evolved since the dawn of time. you still play games with complicated controls and bad key layout. Yeah that explains why most console 'innovations' end up on PC first, right? You know, like in-game physics, online play, force feedback, etc I could type for hours on innovations that started on PC.

PC gaming is not noob friendly. casuals can't get into it and its too expensive. even if you could afford a cheap set up. the monitor alone could cost you about $200-$500. I just built a buddy of mine a really nice gaming PC for just under $600. Not so expensive after all. By the way, let me know where you buy your monitors, Ill never shop there.

Most hermits don't even buy games. they use bittorent. I could name at least 10 multi-million selling PC games off the top of my head: Sims 2, Neverwinter Nights, Oblivion, Half Life 2, GTA San Andreas, Guild Wars, FEAR, Rome:Total War, Diablo 2, Starcraft, Baldurs Gate, Baldurs Gate 2, Star Wars KOTOR, Jedi Academy, Command and Conquer etc. THIS IS MILLIONS SOLD, NOT DOWNLOADED!! Lets not forget the 8+ million people who subscribe to World of Warcraft, which at this time is PC/Mac only.

PC doesn't have any exclusives, no matter how long it takes, every single pc game gets ported down the line. Wheres my multiplat Diablo 2, or Neverwinter Nights, or Guild Wars, or even World of Warcraft then??

PC is not backward compatible. Dude I still play games from the late 70s on my PC, this statement is almost too dumb to answer. PC is the MOST backwards compatible gaming platform there is.

PC OS cost a fortune. $100-$200 is a fortune? What country you from? games that requires vista forces you to buy a buggy OS. Then dont buy the PC version of Halo 2, problem solved.

you can't play PC games on your couch. Ever heard of a HTPC (Home Theater PC)?

you have to install every single game and if you lose your CD key its all over. Installs arent bad, and take care of your games and you wont have to worry about losing keys.

PC games are never completed. there is always some darn patch coming down the line and if you don't have internet, you are stuck with some BS game. You dont always need to keep all your games patched, a lot of games still work just fine out of the box unless you have some exotic config.

Mods are for cheaters, and is unnecessary. Ever heard of Counter-Strike? That was a mod at one time. If all you do is play cheating mods then you are missing out on some great games.

PC games are not in HD. This statement is so dumb I almost question how good it will do if I answer. OK Ill try. PC games are actually more HD than what you think of HD. HDTVs max out at somewhere around 1960x1020. The old TVs are 640x480. This is your lines of resolution. This is why HD screens look sharper, they run at a higher resolution. Most PC monitors and gaming video cards can go somewhere around 2600x1500. So your answer is that PC games can run higher resolutions than even the highest-end HDTVs.

when you play a game like half life 2 or any vehicle driven games, its suddenly gets really frustrating when you hop into a vehicle and all the basic controls changes Thats why you can go in and change the vehicle controls to what you want.

 

now please tell me. what's so good about PC gaming??? I wonder if I should waste my time typing. Youre obviously biased and it will do no good.

gaming shouldn't be a chore people should be able to have fun playing not waste time bulding a gaming machine which gets outdated by the time your finish. It must take you several years to build your PCs then.

Yep, no exclusives from companies like EA, Blizzard, Bioware, NCSoft, THQ, Activision, Sega, Midway, Lucasarts, Valve and more. No exclusives at all.

who would want exclusives from EA. and bioware doesn't make good games. midway haven't made a AAA in 10 years. Sega:lol: after spiderman 3 activision just took a nose dive. the rest are just garbage

Right, of course it doesn't. Problem is, neither does the 360. Lost Planet going over to the PC, same with DMC4...

Hmm...

But then we already got STALKER and SupCom as exclusives earlier this year.

 

Finally let me note, besides a couple of horribly done ports, I haven't really seen a single multiplatform game that plainly doesn't play better on my PC.

PC games never really impress me. and stalker was delayed like 4 years

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="R-Dot-Yung"]1. Piracy RulesTrue_Gamer_



No... it does not. Piracy hurts the gaming industry.

Actually piracy fuells the money that would go to software to hardware...thats why Nvidia/ATI can afford to RD a new GPU every 6 months...

Is there a smiley where I pinch my nose cause I have a head-ache fron non-scense??

Piracy is BAD plain and simple. You say the more people pirate games, the more hardware is distributed cause people want to play that game. However with no money going to company who made that excellent game, will not be able to make more excellent game. This is because you can't dish out the money for the game, yet you managed to dish out the money for your new 300$ video card?

By the way TC, Logic called, and they said to stop using him as an excuse for your opinions. :|

PC isn't a gaming Machine to be jugged like that. It plays games as an alternative since alot of people Own PC's and it's really really cheap to make a port for a PC it's like free the game was already made on a PC. Dev kits still need a real PC to function together so it's compatible. So what We got spider man 3 to with messed up controls and it's not user friendly. if i learn how to use a PC then i can learn to put a controller in and use that to play the game it still plays like it would on PS3. But i didn't buy my PC to play game i did it for other stuff and since i have the privlege of also running games on my PC i buy them. and PC's do have Exclusives Half Life and 2 Came out 4 month before any other Versions and so will 3. Now we see Crytec might be Exclusive for a few months. It's cause there making it on there PC then Porting it over and down grading the game for"Next Gen"

Mods are intended SOLELY to increase intrinsic value through added content and in no way hamper the play experience of others. It is not a cheat, it is an add-on. They extend the life span of the game, and add on more shelf-life. Mods are intrinsically good.

You seem to be mistaking the term "mod" for "hack."

Modifications are files that add more things than just "cheats" to a game... they could be entirely new games in of themselves.

PowerCharged

You have a big misconception about what mods are. >_>

 

A really big one. :lol:

care to elaborate? 

Mods aren't cheats. They are new levels, or completely new games, made by people who can use the game's engine to make these new levels and objects. >_>

TC Speaking on Behalf of other cows, we disown you and your comments. If it weren't for PC gaming, console gaming wouldn't exist.  Any informed gamer knows that the PC gaming ,regardless of the difficulties, innovates well before console gaming. Hell if it weren't for moding that you find so unneccessary we wouldn't have as many developers. Do you know how many developers got their starts moding Pcs?

Such as Counter-Strike. That was a mod for the original Half-Life. >_>

PC gaming have been declining since the 90's. and with increased piracy and PC gaming isn't doing anything to expand the industry.

Prove It!

let be frank.

PC gaming is like a shark. it hasn't evolved since the dawn of time. you still play games with complicated controls and bad key layout. 

Control layouts are highly customisable. Mouse is faster, easyier to use and  more accurate than sticks. Console games are litmied by only haveing about 14 button available, while PC game can have over 30.

PC gaming is not noob friendly. casuals can't get into it and its too expensive. even if you could afford a cheap set up. the monitor alone could cost you about $200-$500.

Ad the cost of a HDTV to a Console, You have to Buy HD to get the same quality as a PC monitor, and you can get PC monitors for a lot less tahn $200US

Most hermits don't even buy games. they use bittorent.

Prove It! It's there so theore they are? I can get PS2, Xbox, GC, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, WII, DS game over bittorrent to. Your point is invalid. 

PC doesn't have any exclusives, no matter how long it takes, every single pc game gets ported down the line.

And they always watered down ports, and there are still plenty of exclusives.

PC is not backward compatible.

Yest it is, I can play any old game on my PC, Even games from the 80's

PC OS cost a fortune. games that requires vista forces you to buy a buggy OS.

Learn to buy upgrade versions, And Vista isn't that buggy.

you can't play PC games on your couch.

Yes you can, Thats as dumb as saying I cant play my PS2 on the couch.

you have to install every single game and if you lose your CD key its all over.

If you disorganised enough to loose you CD key than you deserve to loose it.

PC games are never completed. there is always some darn patch coming down the line and if you don't have internet, you are stuck with some BS game.

Get use to it,  Console games are now been patched.

Mods are for cheaters, and is unnecessary.

Mods are for improve the lifespan and replability of the games, Some mods can turn it into a completely different games that in no way resembles the original for free.  Trainers and Memory scanning tool are for cheaters.

PC games are not in HD.

PC games have been using 860x600 since the 90's

when you play a game like half life 2 or any vehicle driven games, its suddenly gets really frustrating when you hop into a vehicle and all the basic controls changes.

Happends on consoles games to.

 

now please tell me. what's so good about PC gaming???

gaming shouldn't be a chore people should be able to have fun playing not waste time bulding a gaming machine which gets outdated by the time your finish. 

Consoles are outdated harware before they are released. X360 and PS3 only have 512 RAM Toal wich it must share while the stadard for PC is 1.5 Gig Main and 256 Video totaling 1700MB, PS3 is using a GPU that was deemed outaded at least a year ago.

so i guess mass of text **cough**effect** will be another great game:roll:

Dencore

 

How the hell are you going to complain about cutscenes in a game if you're a METAL GEAR SOLID FAN? 

Not to mention that Mass Effect isn't particularly text-based. All the conversations are in real-time, and you choose reactions based on what kind of response, say, an aggressive or persuasive response. One example was that you could cut off one of your party members who was rambling on. So no. Not "Mass of Text." >_>

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]:lol: PC gaming is where innovation starts.PowerCharged

really?? then how come that ive people have been using the same KB/M for decades. and all pc shooter a generic and repetitive. 

That's because the KB+mouse is ultimate control method, it might not be perfect for everything, but it allows the biggest freedom to developer. Most genres started in computers and most gameplay innovations are first made on PCs

Now back to reality where every PC game supports customizable gamepad controls, TV setups as easy to use as consoles, ZOMG TEH COUCH, non-upgrades in order to get an experience similar to consoles, the most annoucned exclusives and high quality titles release annually AND monthly, can be just as cheap over a longer/extended period of time, etc.

Oh, and console gamers don't pirate games?

 

SwapMagic?

 

Xbox 360 DVD drive hacks?

 

Gameboy Advance flash carts?

 

 

TekkenMaster606

The difference is that PC pirating is easy, very easy, even a noob could do it.

Also to the TC thread creator, the PC is very noob friendly. Everyone I know here plays Counter Strike Source/World of WarCraft/StarCraft/WarCraft3 instead of console games.

Its also relatively easy to pirate console games. The reason people assume PC game pirating is easier is because the average knowledge of the average PC gamer is much higher tech wise than that of the average console gamer.

the scale is much smaller than PC piracy

 

PROVE IT.

a console game sale gets to a million faster than pc game sales, and plus you don't have to do any modification on you rig to steal a game. if you mod your console, you lose online priviledge

 

NO LINK. NO PROOF.

prove me wrong with a link then. otherwise the most logical argument wins.

You said it first my dear selfowned cow...

Plus one can buy a PC game register it online and sell it for half price and still play online...

Can u do that on your little toy?

you can't trade in PC games. and why would i want to register my games is there any benefits??

You can so trade in PC games, apparently you haven't been to EB/Gamestop lately because if you actually look at the pc section they are used games so some one must have traded them in. You might be better off buying a used pc game especially if it's one that you don't need the disc for meaning that the only time that disc was used was for installing purposes.

1. How? tell me. Have you ever heard of Everquest II, WoW, and all of the other good games and mmo's out there? get your facts straight

 

2. That varies from game to game. I dont think its hard.....

 

3. Everquest I and II, Dungeons and Dragons, WoW, LoTRO, Command and Conquer and MANY more...... ya no exlcusives :roll:

 

4. Backwards compatible with what? The PC format HAS NEVER CHANGED

 

5. ....Hmm.... *Looks at post while sitting on couch with a wireless keyboard and mouse and an S-video cable connection to TV*

 

6. Thats why you have to be organized and responsible. Also if you lose your game-disc its all over.....

 

7. Not true. Modding allows people to make new an exciting levels and maps to share with their community.

 

8. Really???? Then when i saw that there was an HD output for a PC they were lying! :o

 

9. Not for me....:|

I seem to recall that Counter-Strike was particularly noob-UN-friendly. >_>

In Honolulu, Hawaii when I went there, there's over a dozen of internet gaming cafes (each cafe has about 40+ gaming computers like alienware etc..) where people pay per hour to play CS:S, WarCraft and all the games I mentioned above (also Halo CE, Unreal 2K4 etc..), a lot of the people who were in these cafes are as casual as casual can get. Not to mention they were middle schooler-high schoolers looking to play a quick game or two before going to the near by mall. Another example, my high school-college, just about everyone plays Counter Strike Source and yes girls too. World Of WarCraft is another mega popular with the casual.

i'm sure this argument will go back and forth, but i'll i have to say is the only pc game that i still play is counterstrike source.  everything else is pretty 'meh' compaired to everything else.
