I sometimes feel like hermits just started gaming this gen. How in the world did you guys ever survive in the days of DX9 and past?
Enjoy your PC though and make the most of it. Don't spoil yourself too much though and close your mindas there are a number of good games on consoles as well.

I've still got my xbox and will definitely play any exclusives on that and if I had a PS3 I'd play exclusives on that as well.Well that's good to hear. I've always felt like the elitist hermits who fool themselves out of good console games because of no 60 FPS/1080P are tools. Not that you need to be playing multiple systems to be a fair or balanced gamer but I think it's one of the dumbest reasons I hear from PC gamers who don't like consoles. Congrats though and welcome to the dark side :P
But does a good game remain a good game if performance issues are a big enough nuisance to break your immersion, and therefore kill enjoyment?
I mean don't get me wrong, there are console games out there that don't fail in those ways, but they're not all like that. Luckily, as far as my experience goes, it tends to be the multiplatform games that suffer the most, and I can just get those on PC anyways.
I mean I played ME2 last week on a 360, and I just couldn't believe how unbelievably choppy it looked. I even asked friends if they could see it happening, and they did (and they're primarily console gamers themselves). It may have been one of the worst offenders I've seen in recent memory, but like I said they aren't all like that, but there are some.
Meanwhile if you play something like Gears of War, RDR, or Infamous, even though they also run at lower frame rates they just aren't quite as noticeable as other games. I think maybe it has more to do with the added level of polish because the devs are focusing on perfecting the game for one, or two systems.
