Probably performance issues off that poll. Although, graphics can be bad too. However, I think the biggest problem is devs dumbing down games for the console crowds, thus games are worse because of it.DragonfireXZ95

I don't buy this, sounds like an elitist PC way of thinking. Just my opinion but the developers don't "dumb" down anything besides maybe hand holding too long at the first of the game, that is more pacing issues. Maybe I'd agree if you meant graphics for dumbing down, but that's it.

Majority of users are under 13 years old.

Lower FP/s on a lot of games, and longer loading times. In comparison to my PC that is. I can cope with the lesser graphics and all that fine.

-Worst version of most multiplats.

-Most exclusives being for ADHD/Down-Syndrome victims. (or worse, casuals)

-When your overlord (MS/SONY/NIN) goes down the non-gaming rotue. (Kinect, Wii, MovieStation)

-The fact that you even have an overlord dictating what you'll be playing. Which brings me to,

-A Closed system withLess controller options,Less gaming deals/sales, No Mods, and Less free updates.

-Stuck with bad gfx, low fps, and long load times.

it was dumbed down quite a bit. Smaller levels, linear levels, worse graphics, hit markers, less vehicles during campaign, no vehicles in multiplayer, smaller MP maps, less players in MP, etc.

If that's not dumbed down, I don't know what is.

They cost more than PC games

Less options than PC

The games are worse on a technical level than PC games

I'm agreeing with you, being someone that was very into the Tom Clancy series, but the root of the problem was most likely piracy--which brought most of those series to multiplatform status.

The users.

PC fanboys are still worse. They won't even let console fanboys argue amongst themselves..."Hey you guys can't talk about this/that without us."

The overly restricted and closed nature of the platform :\

I find it annoying how many times someone will be talking about console graphics then a Hermit will just charge in and say "BUT TEH GRAPHICZ BE BEST ON PC."

1. DRM

2. DLC

3. Unlockable features

4. Having to set up an account to play (EA games especially) multiplayer games.

Changing the batteries on my WiiMote and being too lazy to buy rechargable ones. :(

1. Bad games (Halo lol)

2. Controllers

3. Neutered non-upgradeable hardware

4. Kids

Polished games are almost non-existant, for every Vanquish and Arkham City, you get 10 Skyrims and 10 Brinks.

Its a serious issue that will get worse before it gets better.

I went with option 3 just because I hate to game at 30fps, but I would say lack of freedom and customization is the worst part. Being forced to use PSN/Live, being forced to used those contollers and not having access to things like a m/kb or a Novint Falcon, and plenty more restrictions.

Console centric arguments tend to be more playful. PC stuff is more akin to a cult. People have been murdered over Starcraft. End of discussion.

PC elitists making fun of it.

Pc gaming has all those problems. Except you are going to bow down to EA's buggy origin (which will eventually work well), valve's steam and Blizzard's battle.net.

Made me chuckle. Umad?

But, you are right :D

Most annoying thing I can think now is 360's xbox live cost. Seriously im already paying for isp, why the f I have to pay over 30 euro for p2p online gaming.

Dual analog controls. They're so slow and clunky.meetroid8

I went with performance issues but could have said "other". . . . My biggest issue is load times.

I remember trying to play oblivion on a 360 I owned briefly and it was so tedious

Can't take them with me anywhere.
Some games are too long to have enough time to finish. (40 hour games = more than two months to finish)
Long load times
Crappy DLC
Too much useless fluff in UI
Too online-dependent
No touch screen controls
Very few games that are "addictive" (can lose yourself hours playing the game)
A lot of games are all flash no substance
Games are expensive for how short they are.
Local multiplayer nowadays is supported too poorly.
Once you start playing, you feel the need to play for 60 minutes+. Not suitable for play in short bursts.

From the perspective of a person who has dropped consoles for mostly handhelds.

telling your parents you're stupid. that's probably the hardest part. that and the graphics.

Are pc elitiest running their platform down our throats because games can be played at a higher resolution
