[QUOTE="Drathyl"]Gaming on a pc is riddled with constant tweaking. Mini ninjas crashes every 20 minutes, dark star one can't run on 1680*1050 for some odd reason, borderlands suddenly slows to a crawl, bad company 2 for a very long time was very slow to load maps with ATI cards. Connection problems with solution being update network drivers. Well my network card is integrated. Well lets find out the motherboard model and get the drivers for that. Hardly the best platform for gaming. I'm tired of that. On xbox I put the disc in and start playing. If there is ever need for an update, I just choose yes, I do want the console do the work for me. It is just silly to call PC the best gaming platform.Frozzik

Funny, i have mini ninja's, my 8 year old loves it (see steam sig), its my second most played game this week, not 1 crash. Never had any of the other issues either. Don't get me wrong, there are sometimes problems that do come with PC but many are through user error or simply caused by not keeping up with drivers/updates. Steam is a great program for this.

Honestly, my 2 gaming Pc's are used for gaming and nothing else, i have a laptop for everything else. Rarely do i have any issues at all.

Yes but thats the problem: keeping up with the drivers. And sometimes you just can't figure out what crashes it even though have drivers up to date and computer clean of spyware. My computer runs starcraft 2 flawlessly, but my friends computer crashes every once in a awhile. There have been reports of overheating with starcraft, but I have no problems. This is the problem with pc gaming. It's not always user problems. The problem is the infinite complexity of different hardware setups and drivers. And that's why I cannot recommend PC as a gaming platform.

Let's say I'm a stupid user and all the problems are caused by me. Well xbox is awesome since even stupid person like me doesn't have problems with it. Oh and I'm a programmer so I do now a thing or two about computers.

[QUOTE="thetruespin"]It's interesting that most gamers apparently don't have very high spec computers.... but i thought you guys all ran Crysis on MAX???!V4SKUNK

Well its still funny how these average PCs still output much better graphics than any of the consoles. Not forgetting the fact Crysis can be run at all very high setings @ 1280x1000 @30fps on an average dual core CPU, 2gb RAM and an old lowly 8800GT which is coming up to 3 years old.

Wheres the Shuriken Lightning gun from Painkiller?

Well, if Microsoft is terrified, then Sony must have been **** their pants the whole current generation. They went from 1st place in last generation to last place in current generation. Was betting heavily on first parties worth it, considering it gained PS3 the nickname 'WaitStation'? How much does it matter if a system seller game loses its exclusiveness after a year or two? Xbox 360 players have already played those and moved on to newer games, while they can still get some additional revenue by selling the title on other platforms. Was getting almost a year's headstart cheap trick on Microsofts part, or was it an incredible technological feat?

PS3 has the brand that everyone knows, it has bluray. it's competitor is all over the news for having really faulty hardware and it has free online. Even then it sells worse than Xbox 360. Why would anyone be terrified of Sony?
