A right! Still have to play that one. Waiting for he Goty edition. I noticed the strong conservative influence in the text and was wondering if I had to hate you since I'm Dutch ;) (although I'm not as liberal as Americans sometimes think all Dutch are ;))

Our political views are pretty close ;)

Steam is free, the games cost money. This is opposed to XBL having a monthly fee AND having to buy games to play.

That's not the point, Steam itself is free of charge unlike XBL, where you have to pay monthly to get basic features like playing online. Games cost money on all systems, not all systems require you to pay extra to play those games online. :|

Is that so hard to understand?

[QUOTE="Olimar_the_Min"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] You buy the games retail, then you can register them with Steam and use them for free. But you already knew that, didn't cha? steve17989

[QUOTE="Olimar_the_Min"]

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 salesDanm_999

PCs Played More Than Any Console

PC Gaming Alliance research indicates desktop game sales rose 18 percent worldwide last year; installed base stands at 228 million.

US gamer population: 170 million - NPD

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!Olimar_the_Min

Several console games have installation now (many on PS3).

Plus, is a one time installation really 'killing' the PC?

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. :OOlimar_the_Min

Console games have patches.

The WoW patches are not bug patches; they're content and ****balance patches. Blizzard is adding more to the game.

3. CD KEYS, these things are annoying as hell to type in and usually at least takes me about 10 goes.Olimar_the_Min

Which tells me the problem is you, not the system.

I mean why can't they just make it like consoles so PCs are pirate-proof.Olimar_the_Min

El. Oh. El.

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? nopeOlimar_the_Min

More genre diversity, more exclusives.

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.Olimar_the_Min

Stop buying bad deal PCs. Get a virus protection program.

Seriously, all your complaints are user end issues.

I would like to add to your last comment about point 5. Viruses could be due to....extra activities over the net :D octaPUSY if ya know what i mean....no what? I mean James Bond, jeez what are all you people thinking off. :P

Once the apocalypse hits and everything's been wiped off the face of the earth, only three things will be left:

1. Cockroaches

2. Keith Richards

3. PC gaming (which presumably will be solely and entirely developed, published, bought and played by Keith Richards)

svetzenlether

Don't forget about Cher.

BTW, this are dumbest reasons PC gaming would die, installation? patchs? not variety? :lol: oh dear God.

Weren't you the guy who saidCrysis looked horrible on max settings:lol: PC gaming won't die anytime soon due to one thing in particular: MMOs, and not just WoW either lots of these are coming out I think people will always play them. Also the Pc will always have support from the bigger suppoeters like Valve and Blizzard, and their games will always sell.

Damn, TC is just a troll. I actually thought he was serious at first, but the humor in his ignorance is lost now that I realize he is just trolling.

[QUOTE="BoloTheGreat"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] I'm glad you've informed me AnnoyedDragon may be biased, an obvious conclusion given we have discovered he has a PC. I am now assessing the potential biases of everyone else in this thread. Put my mind at ease by telling me you do not also have a PC, and are in fact posting this from your fridge.mgs_freak91

How bout THIS . now thats cooling!!!

Apparently it didn't look good on his "high end" 8500GT! :lol:

no, do you still play on you commodore 64?Olimar_the_Min

PCGaming existed even before Commodore64 and it will exist long after console gaming is dead too

HAHAHA - I laughed so hard cause of this!! Seriously though...this thread is full of win :D It should be voted best thread of the year. :O Does Gamespot do that? Guessing not... :(

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!

A: Faster loading times, no bottlenecks from the optical drive or those crappy laptop drives if you choose toinstall the game on 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

A: This generation consoles also receives patches. About wow, some patches are bug fixes, others incremental, others just some performance increases and engine changes.

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.

A: Live with it or move along.

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

A: The last time I browsed Steam, it had more than just fps.

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.

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

A: Only $2000? Rofl anyways, almost all computers break due to user mistakes. See those vista "annoying" confirmation boxes?? Yeh they were implemented because of n00bs such as yourself. Plus, can't I do much more stuff on the pc than on a console? Do I have to pay any royalities to develop stuff on pc? No. PC gaming will never die, we just keep getting games and + games, multiplatform or not, plus aren't all games made on pc anyways and exported to consoles, lol.

Conclusion: you failed, don't even bother another attempt.

PC gaming will never lose popularity and if it does then i'll be shocked

You're going to get a reaction from the hermits who are always easy to bait, but tbh this is so unoriginal i wouldn't expect to get a a lot out of this bait.
