you know, i was a skeptic in the beginning but now i realize pc gaming is better

Hmm, I'm going to be a little "out there" and say that neither of you are familiar with PC gaming.

Whatever. I have a nice gaming pc ( 5870/i7 920 cpu) and it sits very comfortably next to my xbox360, ps3 and Wii. I enjoy gaming on all of these platforms. I dont feel the need to claim pc gaming is better when i am enjoying games on consoles every bit as much as any game i play on pc.

The increasing prevalence of DRM has largely driven me away from PC gaming. If and when motion controls and their pointer accuracy can bring more RTS games to the consoles I'll have little use for a gaming PC anymore.

I know that PC gaming is superior to consoles but the money spent on pc gaming from what iv heard and seen is a little too much for me.

A pc capable of playing games at console standards can probably be bought for less than what a consoles costs and it's just lovely how the platform scales from there. Wanna play on your tv with a controller? No problem. It's not even hard to set up. Everyone here are able to learn how to do it (with little effort I might add).

There's only really one valid reason to get a console and that's exclusives.

pc is only expensive if you want it to be so.

720p, 60 fps, high settings? Not so expensive and beyond what the consoles manage.

Better is always going to be a subjective term in this instance. It's gonna come down to the end-user.

I, however, love PC gaming, and couldn't game without it.

I spent £350 (£50 more then a ps3) to upgrade my PC 2 years ago. I havn't spent anymore upgrading it.. the following pic speaks for itself. Check top right of screen for FPS. :)

Buy a 52inch plasma TV, better yet a HD Projector and get 7.1 surround sound.

What you've heard, and what you've seen is a bad representation of how much a gaming-ready PC costs.

It would be one thing if PC gaming was treated as an equal by developers but it clearly isn't. Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire aren't coming out on pc this year, maybe they will next year, maybe they won't. Maybe it will be like GTAIV and have all sorts of bugs that take a few months to fix. Maybe it won't.

If you like playing the maybe game with developers then by all means stick with pc. I prefer getting the console version on day 1 knowing that my console is what the developers designed the game around.

I'll buy a pc exclusive if it interests me but these days it is rare when so many pc exclusives are either MMO or RTS.

For every RDR on consoles there's ten games you can only have on the PC

It's not like it only works in favor of consoles.

Glad someone atleast TRIED to give PC gaming a shot. :P Now go play Stalker - Shadow Of Chernobyl using the L.U.R.K mod. :) I recommend 1.05. Version 1.1 sucks really bad.

WhenCicadasCry

YES.

Along with Crysis, SoC was the first game I got with my new PC last week. It's absolutely fantastic, definitely one of the best games I've played so far. A greater introduction to PC gaming was hardly possible, really. Even Crysis seems mediocre in comparison. I even wrote my latest blog about it.

I'm about halfway now, so I'll play it again with that mod sometime after I finish it.

[QUOTE="funsohng"]I don't play PC games anymore. Not saying they are bad, but just simply I'm not interested in any of their offerings (not to mention my 8800GT is now getting outdated)slvrraven9

None of them are better then RDR though............Like what name them the last Pc games i have bought are masseffect2 Stalker cop and Now transformers today, other then that what else has there been recently to comapre to REd Dead? I prefer my gaming pc but it does miss out on alot of games. Imo the best Pc games are ports these days.

Everything you just said is base on subjectivity and one point of view. What you find as "better" someone can easily claim is not. It falls in the category of personal preference.

Well its all about personal preference.I dont game on a pc because im not rich.

If you got money to game on consoles then you have more than enough to be a PC gamer.

and being a console elitist is a bigger joke. The second you start comparing games, PC wins, not even arguable. Exclusives, AAA, AA, doesn't matter, PC has more.

For every PC elitist there's a console elitist who knows absolutely nothing about PC gaming.

I like my PS3 for the games, but overall I love my PC..

your view is not valid, if you talk about the future everything seems to go in the way to browser gaming or games that get processed by servers. I dont see such a big problem with DRM.

Excuse me? The fact that I want to own something I paid +$30 is not a valid POV? That I don't want to risk the games I paid hard money for to be unplayable one day because they shut down their verification server? Or that I might want to sell some of those games one day (or at least give them to a friend)? DRM reduces purchases to little more than a long term rental.

What do you mean none of them are better? I was absolutely bored by RDR, so imo lots of games are better.

But most of us know you as a loud-mouthed PC hater, so meh, why bother thinking your opinion matters?

So a sequal or successor to a console game is not on PC? SHOCKER! "Major Developers" you mean those published by Microsoft and Sony.... mainly Microsoft in this case... whoa ... such a giant list of games my heart bleeds.... *goes back to playing Heroes of Newerth, a game better than 90% of console major releases, and hasnt been reviewed y GS, or retail in stores* I guess only "major" games exist and are great.... haha i wish i was that ignorant, must be nice.Birdy09

Ew, you're playing Stalker unmodded. :P With the Lurk mod it propels Shadow Of Chernoybl to a gaming masterpiece.

No suprize from you though, as usual ;) finding a negative out of something thats good.Birdy09

And yea, most Sqaure Games dont, but then again quite a few do, I mean, thier real upcoming money maker Final Fantasy XIV isnt coming to PC I guess? MMO you say? well at least its better than that FFXIII average game by a long shot =). Birdy09

I don 't understand on why PC gaming is so great. You always have to spend more money just to upgrade your components. NerubianWeaver

Here's a 3 yearold 8800GT running Crysis :roll:

I said most of their games don't come to the pc, and of course their MMO will. Make all the defenses you want but the pc is missing out on some pretty big releases this year. As Avid-Gamer said most of the best pc releases these days are console ports, but maybe I'm posting as Avid-Gamer as well.dc337

1) I just find it hilarious that you 2 are always in the same threads posting negativities solely on PC Gaming, to the point where its a funny coincidence, oh and, as Vandal has said, someone is in denial, its not us. Its you. Once again, the database doesnt lie. and the fact that alot of great games are not reviewed aswell (see my xfire tag of the game played this week for example).

2) Consoles are missing out on many Good, Great, Superb games aswell, but, isnt what your doing defending? Your idea of the "best" and mine are very different, RDR is just another blockbuster title that will be shelved, and apperenlty its not worth playing in a few months time? I guess I can claim that the state of Console Gaming, Mainstream " major :lol: " gaming is so unhealthy to the point where your games cant keep your attention for longer than a day or 2 so badly, that you need the next hyped marketing fix to keep you going? Heroes of Newerth - 300 Hours, £15, more tournements than 90% of console games, probably a good 1000 more hours in it. No reviews. but oh noes, im missing out on . oh wait, I have all consoles! :o

AND cheaper.
