I don't have a "problem" with it, in fact I appreciate what it does for the industry... especially encouraging developer independence more so than the console market does.

However, I vastly prefer plug and play. The people that love PC gaming also tend to love the technical aspect of PC gaming.... there's nothing wrong with that - I'm just not into that scene. I don't want to have spend time customizing, compiling, and building my system... tweaking with settings every time I play a game just to "optimize" the experience, and updating the hardware of my system every couple of years. I prefer to buy a new console, plug it in, and play games immediately. PC gaming feels more like a "project," once I buy a video game system I don't ever want to have to worry about tending to the system apart from removing it from the box. I stopped PC gaming shortly after the original Half Life. Don't get me wrong - I did love the games. The original HL blew my mind.

It's also more expensive than console gaming.... mainly because the hardware is more powerful. This is especially true if you want the absolutely cutting edge tech, and this would be a problem for obsessive people like me (I tend to obsess over my hobbies and want the "best available tech".) This doesn't bother me as much as the above paragraph, though.

I do appreciate the market though and I'm glad it's there. Not only have some of the greatest games of all time been made for the PC (and some of them have subsequently trickled down to the console market for everyone elses benefit,) it brings in a ton of money for the industry and gives birth to talented development studios that probably wouldn't be around otherwise.

Also, on this forum the PC fanboys tend to be the least annoying of the bunch.... probably because PC gaming requires some measure of technical knowledge. Some of the most annoying fanboys on this forum are kids who are given consoles from their parents and post endlessly here about nothing whatsoever. The complicated nature of PC gaming (relative to console gaming) seems to act as an "idiot filter."

So.... no problem with it - it's just not my thing.

They should have done that before they released the damn thing.

Honetly, I've used the Dual Shock and the 360 controller enough to know that apart from the 360's DPad it's a better controller in nearly every way.

Not that I give a damn about the game at all.... but I'm pretty sure 1up gave them identical scores.

Doesn't Oblivion come out first? If so, I'd imagine that would be its 1st 9.0+ title.

When does HS come out?

[QUOTE="PS3_FTW"]

Looking at some reviews for some PS3 games, so many are cited for 'amazing online'. Resistance Fall of Man, 40 players, not possible over Wii or 360. Motorstorm, look at the review, what makes this game amazing is the online. Speaking of motorstorm, that game was hyped A and got AA, so haters owned. Then you look at all the other great games, like Virtua Fighter. Try getting a virtua fighter to work without any lag online without PS3's power, you cant.

Online in future games will be amazing. Sony have said that GTA4 will have far more advanced online than 360s, and Wii wont get it at all.

Wii gamers can stick with their friend codes and 4 player Mario-Kart, PS3 owners get the best of everything: massive online games, better than 360, and a price to match the Wii's; free. Plus, downloadable games own all. Why would I want kiddy Zelda and Mario games, when I can get visual masterpieces like flOw, as well as great upcomming classics like Mortal Combat. All 360 has is Street Fighter, and the lag makes that game unplayable. Plus, PS3 classic games have updated graphics, 360 and Wii owners are stuck 10 years ago.

PS3s online is the best out there, with the power of the PS3 it can produce multiplayer experiences that cant be matched by Wii or 360, and it doesnt cost a penny.

I'll take you up on that bet with VF5. If the online is laggy on the 360, I will castrate myself and send you the video. If it isn't, then you need to learn to stop posting for the sake of trolling, cause it annoys the world when people make idiotic comments. Deal? And Motorstorms online made it amazing, cause without the online it's nothing. It's just a racer. The online doesnt add to the gameplay, it just lets you play online, you make it act like its the holy grail, and it was hyped higher than A, so if you're going to say it wasn't, then none of you can say sonic was hyped higher than A, cause it was hyped A and got high A. If you have any info on GTA4 online, please share, being that it doesn't exist. Again, I don't like you, because you think you're a know it all. And I think it's funny how you think that the arcade is flawed and only gets retros. It gets UPDATED retros, nice research you do huh? And SF isn't laggy anymore, it was only for a little after release, patches fixed it. (360 has MK as well, its great your up to date).

Wait, since when does the 360 version of VF5 have online?

Coming from a member named PS3FTW this thread is absolutely shocking.

If I had to guess I'd say 8.7.

It seems more like a fleshed out expansion pack for the year old Gears than an entirely new game. It's just too similar than the other one...
