You need to be a computer technician to get half the games even running on PC

[QUOTE="topsemag55"]Interesting how new members make threads like this, yet those of us who have been here for years don't have problems getting our games to run.designer-

And even then the games are riddled with bugs and crash all the time

Seriously, you could pay full price for a game like I did with Arkum City, meet the requirements, and still not have the game work on your rig because of some compatibility issue.

PC gaming is abysmal.

Just because your an idiot doesn't mean other people are.

Hows about you run off, learn how to use a kettle and have a nice relaxing cup of tea.

It's true.

I've been a computer technician since I was in kindergarten

These damn dirty console gaming peasants are too stupid to install a PC game. Leave the PC gaming to the glorious PC master race

Obvious troll is obvious. These new rules sure are taking their effect.

You should refrain from using the word 'seriously' unless you're serious.

Lol, that made my day.

This thread is a failure though.

basically i've seen you bashing everything except 360... and you're just level 3... I wonder if you're someone familiar to these boards :)

I'm Sorry. I have had no issues getting any of my games to work. gmaster456

Sucks for you.SaltyMeatballs

What I find amuzing about these dumbass consolites is that apparently running a game is so difficult but I'm sure he has no trouble find is way around torrent sites to download his favorite music and movies!

I'm a new PC-gamer (built my rig like a month ago). It's a bit of a hassle so far, but most of the time there are no problems. Had a bunch of issues with BF3 (like 2 different kind of freezes) that I don't think I have solved yet (but maybe DICE has). I suppose the real problems start when ur PC is getting old.Sushiglutton

I wouldn't say that.

You can avoid 99% of problems just by understanding what's in your PC which you gain a knowledge of over time.

I can tell you right now I've had TWO, that's right, TWO problems in my lifetime of PC gaming (15 years).

One was getting Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines to run on Windows 7 (which is a compatiblity issue kinda like how some Xbox games don't work on 360s). Wasn't really the fault of anything really. Moreso a technicality.

the other being that Bad Company 2 didn't start on my computer. Of course I knew what all the possible problems, spent 5 minutes updating drivers, and it worked flawlessly.

I've played numerous quantities of PC games over the years; hundreds I'd say. Yes it is possible for a company to ship a faulty product like BF3, but that's not impossible on consoles (see Skyrim). As long as you keep up with your computer, and treat it right, you should rarely run into problems. I'm being 100% serious when I say those two games are the only ones that have ever, in my lifetime, given me trouble on the PC.

Sucks to be incompetent like the TC. Haven't had a problem running a game on PC for years.

It's generally the case that PC gaming comes with more issues than console gaming. However, googling the issue will almost always allow you to find a solution. After a few years of this, you'll be better off since you're bound to have a good knowledge of how PCs function (both software and hardware), which is knowledge that is actually quite useful in the real world.

level 3 TC - silly nonsensical post that makes no sense - obvious troll is obvious

Whenever Microsoft releases a new version of Windows, there may be a some old games that won't run because of compatibility issues. The majority of my old games (some dating back to 1993) run fine on the latest Windows. (64-bit Win 7).

But, sticking with the equivalent of current generation, I haven't had a single game not run out of the box.

Could I have that on paper so that I can get a decent job?

I think Red Forman has a lot of alt accounts on Gamespot:P

and OT It really depends on the parts in you're PC how well everything runs. I have a great rig now and haven't had any problems with any game i tried, but on my old rig there was headache's with some games and missing .dll files and blue screen :)

TC has a problem running a game, therefore, PC gaming as a whole sucks.

Great logic.

Actually...all you need is a brain.campzor

:lol:

C'mon, who didn't laugh at that!

I'm Sorry. I have had no issues getting any of my games to work. gmaster456

I even stopped trying figure out where to insert the DVD ? :twisted:

Anyhoo, I do like the no muss, no fuss simplicity plug & play consoles provide. :P

While "gaming" is its own hobby, PC gaming is actually a mixture of two hobbies.

One is the actual tech aspect of knowing how systems work.

The other is the gaming aspect independent of platform.

Being good at both results in the creme-de-la-creme of gaming

What consoles provide is the gaming independent of the technical skills.

Alot is said of PC gaming graphics but that is not the upside of PC gaming.

The upside of PC gaming is access to deep, rich games that you will never find on consoles. EvE, WoW, Take on Helicopters, Starcraft, Defcon, indy games, etc.

Also note that the "PC Gamer" crowd we have here are the PC equivalent of Xbox Live retards, immature, trash talking dummies who think consoles "compete" with PC, if you hate consoles then you are not a tech enthusiast by any stretch, tech enthusiasts own everything from ipads to consoles to smartphones.

PC-only people are typically mouth-breathers who suddenly "discovered" PC gaming. When you have been gaming on PC for 20 years, gaming on a phone or console is cute and fun, and you don't feel threatened by it.

Kettle, meet pot. Pot, meet kettle.

I think the only ones feeling threatened are the imbecile consolites starting troll thread after troll thread against the PC.

The most incendiary thread from a PC gamer on this boards is titled: "Why do consolites bash the PC, when there are things to be thankful about it".

Stuff like that vs "PC is $hit!" coming from the typical console dbags, and we're the immature ones?

Seriously, man, I think you've got some anger issues. Nearly every post I read from you is full of hate. You realize that ZombieKiller7 is just trying to get a reaction out of you. When you take the bait, he wins. Its just a forum. I'd suggest settling down a bit.

Wait, you read his post calling Pc gamers immature, mouth breathers... you can almost see the spittle flying out of that dude's mouth, and my retorts that basically it's the console gamer's posting troll thread after troll thread (I count 4 on the front page), and I'm the angry one?

Don't worry about me man. I always post with a smile. :)

That's not true at all.

I've been PC gaming for 15 years, and as each day goes by I get more involved with the platform. There was a time, when I first began PC gaming, that I probably played consoles a good 95% of the time.

Now, 15 years later, my console playtime is about 0.0000001% of my overall playtime (though that could also be attributed to the fact that the PS3 is ultra lame).

He has no point.

Some people are guilty of doing it, and some aren't. You talk down to me as if my anecdote means nothing because it's an anecdote. As if his broad generalization held any weight in the first place. Why didn't you contradict his post before moving onto mine? You certainly like to contradict a lot of PC gamer generalization posts with your own anecdotes.

And just because people weren't around in a certain period also means nothing. You could trace back nearly everything we have today to something from the past. People are allowed to argue no matter what circumstances they're in.

[QUOTE="lowe0"] Conversely, after 11 years of PC gaming, I've been a consolite for the past 6 years. Aren't anecdotes fun? He does have a point, in that it always amuses me to be talked down to by members of the "master race" who weren't even around for EMS vs. XMS or SET BLASTER statements.lowe0

I know, I know, and you could easily direct some of your anecdotes at the hordes of console gamers who do it too, but why bother?

You solve absolutely nothing by idly standing by as stupid comments flow out from one side while attacking the stupid comments that flow from the other side.

As long as you keep up that strategy neither side will ever come close to stopping. You just waste your time, and energy.

.1/10,

this topic lacks originality and is a rehash of the same pc bashing topics that you see on system wars on a daily basis

liked: the topic title, it was worth a chuckle

disliked: spelling, shortness, the obviousness of the topics intention

overall id say that this topic had room to improve, if only it would have been polished a little more it could have been a contender, but as it sits its just another topic that will fall to the wayside
