I'd be willing to bet that whatever your favorite game is, WoW has more players online at any one time.

Unless your favorite is Starcraft... Or Counter Strike.

The miseducation of PC gamers 1) Apparently you guys think we believe all that. Well l believe 5, but that boils down to JRPGs vs WRPGs. Console for JRPGs, PCs for WRPGs. And 10 of course, having to keep paying for a game you already bought is stupid. The rest of it is obvious bull, and believe that we all believe that makes you as bad as the minority retards that do.

I still don't like paying a monthly fee for a game I bought for 50 bucks. But $15 isn't really going to make or break me. I wish I could still play WOW, But I have no money for a PC update right now.

but people pay monthly fees for Console MMO to but the consoles one suck and always get bad ratings so maybe if those are the fees your paying for your right it's stupid to pay for Phantasy Star on 360 or FF11 it's stupid to pay 15 for a bad game every month. but WOW thats a differan story that game is so worth the money to play per month and you won't be purchasing many games while you play it so it evens out.

Maybe you're right, and maybe you're wrong-in either case, I personally don't care about how popular WoW is, as it just doesn't appeal to me.

how many HR's did you put into WOW? if you like my brother and got to LVL 25 and stoped then i can agree you pro wouldn't think it's all that, but reviews are based on playing the whole game and if you did reach 60 to 70 and went in instances and battlefields even crafted your own epics then you can not say this game is overrated. in fact IMHO i think it game is easly 10. if i pay your fees for 1 year and i give you some time to play it your feel the same way.

I have a Toshiba Satellite notebook and it plays games just fine. Its not expensive at all, the graphics are not as good as a high end PC (obviously) but I can run FEAR, as well as many other PC games on it just fine. You don't need a "beast" machine to play PC games like everyone thinks. If your computer cannot handle the graphics of a certain game, then tone down the graphics and it will run smoothly.

There are more than 8 million people currently SUBSCRIBED to WoW. That means they're actively paying a monthly fee for it. And saying "PC gaming is stupid" is a fact just destroyed someone's credibility.

1. Halo is better than all FPS

its up there

2. what is Starcraft 

3. PC's can't do HD

4. 360 has better shooters than all systems

5. Consoles have the best RPG's

Damn Right- the xbox 360 has Fable 2, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, FFXlll, and a lot of RPGs coming out for it

6. Console RTS's works just fine

Command & Conquer 3 agrees

7. PC gaming is stupid

8. Mouse and Keyboard take away the fun

for some genres- use a controller. It does feel wierd though on the desktop

9. PC's don't have backward compatibility

Not all old pc gamnes work with new OSs. 

10. WOW is overrated and Monthly fees are stupid

WOW is the gayest game ever.  True hermits will agree with me on this.

11. a decent gaming PC cost $2000

if you want to play new games on a pretty high setting

There you go 11 reason i feel Console gamers these days are totally miseducated on gaming in General.

likei said Miseducation. one any Windows can revert to an older mode to run a hardware and you can do it just for specific Softwares. example if you got a game that requires Windows 98 you can go to Properties and it'll give you and option to run it in Compatibility mode and you can make XP or Vistas run that Software in windows 95 or higher.
