Damn Right Mate, PC gaming rules, You shouldnt be posting this thread its very obvious and hands down. On the other hand, if console owners got good value with their exclusives then I'm happy for them. But I dnt really give a crap as I already have plans in running SF 4 pc in Tri Sli 8800gt 512DDR3 with 2 May flash arcade stick. It'll be a blast.

PC Gaming is waste of time and money.

If the world is playing pc games game devs and companies will have to go where the money is.

Let's see...

New PC Game is out (The new Total War game for example) new board, vid card, ram, CPU probably an OS reinstall because it will crap itself, and update all the drivers. Then figure out why it's choppy, adjust the sound settings, open the right ports in the firewall because multiplayer games aren't working properly, spend a day tweaking the AA/Visual settings. When it's all working, download the 1.4GB patch, then download the 1.6gb patch because the last one was for the UK English, not NA English boxed version. Can't get into any online games until everyone else has repatched. Game starts crashing, have to wait 2 weeks for the 200MB patch that fixes it, but I can't use my old savegames.

New 360 game is out, I buy it, I put it in the drive, I play it. I even have enough time left over to get some action that evening.

BTW I can see into the future.

So good luck with that ;)

It's going to be hard for micro soft, sony and nintendo to compete with pc gaming when there is no new consoles. It 's going to be alot harder on the game devs too.

So good luck with that ;)

blackdreamhunk

Why is it going to be hard?

It's actually easier, you're familiar with the hardware, and the install base is huge. Remember, games are fun.

I'm not saying PC's aren't technically superior. I'm just saying I like to have a good time, and every second spent system tweaking is not a good time.

I've been gaming on PC's since my C64. I think anyone that has been gaming as long as I have can tell you that PC Games are not nearly what they should be. Considering the hardware under the hood, it's not worth investing in a gaming system only to have a few more lines of resolution.

Empire Total War is getting there, but i can't justify upgrading my system for one game.

[QUOTE="kerpal_cz"][QUOTE="blackdreamhunk"]think about it what happens if there is no new consoles made? pc gaming is getting better every 6 months.what will happen to game devs? what will happen to gaming? see my point.blackdreamhunk

Considering how small the PC gaming market is in comparison with the console market, it won't be that difficult. Especially since it is highly unlikely that a new console release will be needed before 2010-2011.

Personally, Despite PC prowess, I dont think console gaming will be wiped out. Why? because console gaming is console gaming, which is built for the casual. PC gaming on the otherhand is more than just videogaming with varying purpose. Its like owning a car, you pimp it until it out mod. Also, console gaming is an established Cash Cow for game developers. Picture this, I'll build a console game I know the console system prowess, the gfx cpu etc no more symantic argument, Sold = Easy money. Now I would develop a PC game.... There are so many symantic for consideration! and my base consumer is a big "?" and that I need to define the scope and limitation of my software, which I think is one reason why most PC games are ports from console. :)

Explain how console gaming is casual? I mean since some console games are multiplat with the PC platform, Gears of War 1, Left 4 dead, I am not making a whole list you get my point. Just like PC gaming has a casual side so does console gaming. Console gaming as a whole doesn't fall under "casual" maybe "user friendly" :)

My argument was that There is more to PC's than Videogaming and improving your videogame experience.

It's going to be hard for micro soft, sony and nintendo to compete with pc gaming when there is no new consoles. It 's going to be alot harder on the game devs too.

So good luck with that ;)

There, I said it.

kerpal_cz

I would say it also but instead i will say ^^ AGREED!

PC gaming is strong just as it has always been. People have been saying PC gaming is "dying" since 1985 yet every single year it rolls out many million+ sellers and has more AAA/AA exclusives than any other platform. There was an article stating that in the past year and a half (this was a few months ago mind you) more than 150 million PC's have been sold with HL2 capabilities or higher. Of course all of these people aren't PC gamers but a good portion of them are no doubt. Little bit of piracy doesn't help but still these PC games sell millions (Crysis, Witcher, Spore, CoD4 PC, Orange Box PC, Starcraft, etc.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games#PC). Bottom of the page.

PC gaming is superior in every way. This however doesn't mean that consoles will dissapear. Much like PC, consoles are now an integral part of gaming (though PC's started gaming and came first). While i don't game much on anything other than PC there are a good portion that do. Luckily my 360 was a gift so i didn't have to pay for it (got it as a moving out thing) because i really don't play it.

No it isn't, it was far stronger in late 90's. PC gaming revenue is only being propped up by Warcraft and The Sims. If it wasn't for those two games PC gaming would appear to be dying.

Developers are taking notice and focusing on multiplats, some of which don't make it to the pc. PC gaming has become a platform for Warcraft/Sims expansions and delayed console ports. It is a shell of its former self.

seems logical to me. everybody needs a computer, why not use it to play games as well instead of buying an extra expensive toy (console)?SamiRDuran

Oh so sins of a solar empire, dawn of war 2, empire total war, and SUPERIOR multiplats are all warcraft/sims expansion?

Stop using GTA4 as the only argument. There are tons of other games that are far superior on PC games.
