Why PC gaming is going to be the first to die

[QUOTE="Olimar_the_Min"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] Are you posting from your fridge or something?Danm_999

you can't post things from fridges of course i'm posting on a pc! however i own all the systems so i am not biased

I think pc gaming will die because, you can't report the people who are real jerks in the pc gaming world, you can do that on console but I believe pc gaming is where jerks are truly free and once people start taking notice to this, one by one people are gonna go to consoles... In xbl I run into someone I dont like well probably like every 2 months then well that just goes ..... /reported And I never see them again because they are in my file system to avoid player... In the pc gaming world I run in to someone well within that day there is 2 choices, 1 quit or 2 just bare it for the sake of playing.. Which ever I do which I do both of those choices sometimes the next day I play again look whos there? I believe this is pc's gaming biggest potiential downfall.

Oh no! A PC owner!

I'm sorry, you must be biased.

I hope that can illuminate the ridiculousness of your argument.

People like that get perma-banned from the servers that I play on, so it's never been an issue for me.

Yes, because one bad experience equates to a whole platform community :roll:. I ran into people yelling racial insults at players on XBL (several times), going by your logic the Xbox community is horrible.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="Olimar_the_Min"] exactly i was playing counter strike once and had a score of 1-24 they were obviously hacking so i reported them and what? i get kicked :( pc gaming has a horrible communityOlimar_the_Min

:lol: You can't be serious, can you?

THis guy is obviously a fakeboy with too much time on his hands and you guys are giving him exactly the attention he's looking for. I'd suggest ignoring this thread and letting it die. Let's hope it does before PC gaming does...

Why would I pay for Steam when I already have Xbox live?Olimar_the_Min

:lol: Sig worthy! Man oh man...

exactly i was playing counter strike once and had a score of 1-24 they were obviously hacking so i reported them and what? i get kicked :( pc gaming has a horrible communityOlimar_the_Min

So a community which makes user created content (mods) for free and support a game with mods or player made patches even when the developers have long been gone is a horrible community?

I'll be the first one to die if I keep reading threads like this.

OP, the majority of your problems stem from a lack of patience on your part, i.e. installing a game, entering a CD key properly, finding patches, research for components that are reasonably priced.

The PC won't die on the basis that you can't or won't put the effort into making it worthwhile.

Didn't PC gaming die in 1987? :o

You seriously need work on how SW works.

PC Gaming = first immortals

consoles come and go, arcades came and went, but PCs were here at the creation of video games and will be here at the end

actually i've been here since last year so i know how it works and abuse is not acceptable, i used to post alot til in january i got abused so i quit for a bitOlimar_the_Min

Abuse? All he did was call you a troll, an acceptable term in SW :?

Look at this guy's posting history. The first page there's a thread similar to this one he created whichmakes points that are even more far fetched. This guy is a total fakeboy. Really sad.

This thread is awesome!

So much laughs.

There has recently been many threads popping up about how consoles are turning into PCs etc, but that won't happen since consoles are selling so well like tey don't ever post PC sales well here are a few points to get across from me. This is my reasons for why PC gaming is going to die.

1. The PC has installation, how many times do you just want to put the game in and play it? but no everytime you play you have to install it! FRUSTRATING :D!

1. Installation has come to the console.

2. There are so many bugs. I mean every PC games needs like so many patches to fix it. Look at WoW, my friends tells me there are new patches nearly every few weeks...and it's been out for four years, imagine the sheer amount of problems at the start. :O

2. Consoles get patches, including first day patches.

3. CD KEYS, these things are annoying as hell to type in and usually at least takes me about 10 goes. I mean why can't they just make it like consoles so PCs are pirate-proof.

3. You're doing it WRONG! Not the CD Keys fault.

4. Lack of variety - PC games only have shooters, when was the last time you heard a PC gamer play something that isn't a shooter? counter stirke? nope, team fortress? nope

4. PC has by far the greatest variety in library. From puzzle games, to shooters, to MMOs. If you can get it on a console, you can get it thrice on a PC.

5. High price and easily breakable - I have a PC and it costs $2000! Not to mention I keep getting viruses on it and stuff and costs me so much to fix it.

5. Viruses are easily manged with a good AV software suite and staying away from questionable sites and peer to peer file sharing.

That's why PC gaming will be the first to die, then maybe the Wii cause of the lack of exclusives.

Olimar_the_Min

While I do think PC gaming is dying a slow death, it has nothing to do with any of the above. The biggest problem with PC gaming is piracy. As developers continue to lose sales to people pirating their games, these devs will continue to jump ship, moving to a more secure platform.

This thread is awesome!

So much laughs.

TC, your reasoning behind why PC gaming will be the first to die may actually make your post the dumbest post of 2009 on System Wars.

No. His own opening post from his very similar thread in April this year is even better, or worse if you will. But I still think this guy is actually smarter than he tries to look and is just putting up an act to get some attention here.

I miss the trolls who actually put effort in their threads. People like Yofoo, KeyWii and to a lesser extent, Jasonheyman. Nowadays this is all we get.

True, I don't even know why I come here to SW anymore.

Didn't PC gaming die in 1987? :o

raynimrod

OMG. Where to start?

Im sure then SC2, Diablo3, next version of Warcrack comes out PC gaming will be dead? Also all the small indie developers, micro transaction games, flash games, downloaded games, their all just going to *give up* en masse?

The fact is no one can refute my arguments.

You know they should really make an award for dummest post of the year then we could bring eternal shame to whoever wrote it, either that or we make a troll of the year award someone to bring the banhammer down on every year.

Why the post was misguided.

1. Most servers have kick functions and more thime than not problem players are kicked my members of the community who set up the server.

2. Anoying plaers can be muted easily in most games

3. most games use punkbuster and hackers are banned

4. STEAM takes an even harder line of hackers.

5. you kind find a community, i am a member of Convict Gaming on STEAM and their servers are always well modded, lagg free and freindly.

6. PSN and XBL are notorious for being childish and unfreindly, HOME even had an atricle written about that fact on the escapist. Halo 3 is infamous in the gaming press and beyond for whiny kids and there are countless examples of this being a bigger problem than most other games. Gears is even more famous for it's unforgiving and harsh community of swearing pre pubescent punks.

7. The more nice status of PC gmaing means many more enthusiasts are attracted to it and less entry level 12 year olds, it take knowledge and comminitment and you do find PC users can be more mature.

8. You get bad players everywhere, it's actually a smaller problem on the PC than XBL and PSN due to the nature of the PC gaming scene.

The fact is no one can refute my arguments.
