Simple reason why PC ganming is sooooooo annyoing.

The prices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought a pc for £470 and guess what... It's rubbish at playing pc games. I thought that since everyone beleived pc gaming to be superior that that would be true in the price. WRONG.

How can you say pc gaming is better when you have to pay astounding amounts of money in order to obtain a reasonable gaming PC.

A console £300. A gaming pc £700+

I have a friend whose dad make pcs. He has to pay £650 to make a brilliant gaming pc made from scratch. Does anyone beleive that this is too much, especially compared to consoles?

What do you think. Is pc gaming just too darn expensive, effectively reppeling gamers and attracting them towards consoles?

Pounds eh?

it's cause you don't know enuff about computers or at least thats what the pc gamers say. "just get upgrades for it reformat the hard drive get a new video card with dvy coolers" Whatever i don't feel like it!

PC gaming is cheaper than its ever been. I enjoy the technology and the flexibility my PC gives me. A console has no customizability. Faceplates do NOT count.

-_______-' How I wish these same topics would quit being remade over and over again!:evil:Use the search button!!!On topic...that's your opinion.

So, your mom bought you a computer that the salesmen said was great for getting your work done, and you were disappointed when you found out it had an integrated video card? (or likely still don't realize it). And now you are coming on system wars to complain about it?

they really dont have much, you cant choose the hardware it has (aside from the different HDD sizes) and you can get stickers and stuff but otherthan that nothing is customizable

Funny. I bought a videocard for $80 and saw 2 gigs of DDR2 RAM (that's 4 times any consoles TOTAL, that means system PLUS video RAM) for $30 on Newegg (it was Corsair too).

Moreover, check this out:

http://www.moddb.com/

And play some Warcraft 3....

PC games are ALWAYS $10 cheaper brand new....most developer-generated add-ons and patches are 100% free....and user-generated content is BOUNTIFUL, free, and widely available in games like Warcraft 3, where you can literally totally eschew playing ladder or melee in favor of playing custom games....as I've been doing for the past 5 years since the game released. And I'm still having fun.

Paying $50 for P2P online devoid of all user-generated content is the only true annoyance.

it does not get most of the 360 exclusives in fact 360 gets more exclusives from the pc then the pc gets from exclusive.

i dare anyone to dispute this fact

360 games lost Gears Mass Effect Viva Pinata Lost Planet

PC games lost Supreme Commander, World in Conflict, Command and Conquer, Age of Conan, Far Cry 2, universe at war, and i can go on and on if someone wants to challenge me

Well I for one won't really spend less than 1.2k on a PC. I just come to clarify that you don't need 2000 or 3000US to build one, because that's what the vast majority of people here think.

Percentage wise you lose more. Basically what I'm saying is we get less only because the 360 doesn't have as much as us. But if you actually broke it down into percentages the PC is gaining more than losing.

Because you got to play the biggest Blockbuster of the 360 and PS3 on PC????!!!! YEP... glad owner of a 8800 GTX...

Mass Effect, Assassin Creed, COD 4, Bioshock, Half-Life 2, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Gears of War...

Plus all the PC exclusive like The Witcher, STALKER, Sins of a Solar System, World in Conflict, StarCraft 2... and so on...

yea i get what youre saying and you're probably right but im just responding to the ridicolous claims fanboys on this forum make acting like the 360 is the only platform to lose exclusives yet PC and PS3 do as well

the only platform that is oblivious to this is the wiii

i mean cmon some of those games aren't even big Viva Pinata plz that games hasn't even broke a million, Lost Planet was reviewed mostly from the 7-7.9 range

Gears of War is horrendous on the PC without you using a 360 controller on your rig and as well as the constant frame rate

Mass Effect will probably be be better on PC but these losas of exclusives crap isn't that big of a problem this gen as ppl are making it put to be

ive got to admit though this problem was bad on the original xbox

oh no!! the prices are high!!! wah wah wah i'm spoiled!!

please stop. I'm building my own PC, yes it's expensive but at least I don't have to deal with lousy promotions, and I can mod it at any time.

The reason it's so expensive is that it's good.

You get what you pay for with PC gaming,

Its solid if you can afford it, the issue I have with it is that unlike in University where I had my PC sitting on my coffee table and wired through the TV and home theater I have sort of passd that point in my life of wires across the floor and Tool posters on the wall, now my PC in my home office, and while a leather chair and a 24" screen is great.

I tend to opt for the bigger TV and the sofa in the rec room.

PC gaming has always been more expensive than consoles. The only reason console gaming is cheaper to begin with is that the manufacturers lose money on their consoles and make it back on software sales. Think they have to get an average of 6 games attached at new pricings to break even on their losses for the first generation of consoles they release and then they hack prices steadily to keep saturating the market with consoles so they can sell more games and thus make more money from software.

PC hardware manufacturers on the other hand make money from selling hardware and pretty much nothing else, so the consumer incurs the total cost instead of the manufacturer taking part of it. If the water's too cold for you stay out, PC gaming has been "dead" for a long time, but I'm still reaping all it's benefits from it. Have been playing fantastic games at high resolutions for years now while console gamers are just recently getting into an era of high-resolution gaming, have enjoyed some of the most unforgettable online experiences that have still yet to reach consoles and have spent the money and never regretted doing so.

PC gaming is not for everyone, and everyone should know this by now. You get what you pay for, PC gaming is bleeding edge stuff a lot of the time, and the bleeding edge is never cheap, but it sure has it's benefits.
