I remember building my first gaming PC back around 2005 when Battlefield 2 first came out. At the time, it was my second computer and later, it would become my only computer of choice. I spent a thousand dollars putting it together and for years, it was able to play any game that tried to challenge it. I even remember running Crysis on it, and oh my friends, it was beautiful. Unfortunately, it got hit by some bad viruses, maybe it was the stash of porn, who knows?Whatever the case, I'd just like to say that PC gamers might just be more dedicated than our console gamer counterparts. While I enjoy a good game of Reach here and there, I'll never get over how awkward it is to use a controller vs using a mouse. The targeting, the control, the sense of being there, everything is just so much better.
However, brothers and sisters, I feel like we are overlooked and forgotten. While companies try to make games for the console and improve their fancy Xbox Live, I feel like we are left behind with our PCs. Left and forgotten, we, the ones who spend hundreds and thousands making sure our PCs are the best in the game. We, the few, that control how we want our settings and how we want to run things. Outside of a few games released here and there to appease us, I feel as if PC games saw a jump in quality around the time Battlefield 2 and World of Warcraft came out, and then went steadily down. While we get amazing games such as Portal and Half Life, so much more is being released for the Wii, Xbox and Playstation. And now, they dare try to charge us a monthly fee to play the new Call of Duty? I say, bring it on any day, my PC doesn't get that red ring of death and I have yet to fling my mouse at the TV screen. Brothers and sisters, speak up against this travesty!
