What good have the done for PC Gaming this gen? DX11 and Windows 7 is the best and onlyI can think of.

I like to think of it more in terms of "What bad things have they done to me?"

Which is basically nothing.

They've provided me with Windows 7, they'll be providing me with a new MS Flight Simulator in the near future, and they've released a few games on PC.

Not only that, but they've actually given the rights to create games in their franchises to developers who want to make them. We'll be getting Mech Warrior Online this year. That's not something I'm angry about.

Games For Windows Live, Windows Vista, Halo 2 Vista only..................

Remedy had to BEG to get Alan Wake on PC the platform it was originally designed for since Microsoft decided to be a **** and buy it out to be exclusively on Xbox 360.

The pretty much stole Epic Games and LionHead from PC gamers especially epic games being a top teir in PC gaming.

I'm just going to skip the heavy amount of bias, and state that they just haven't gotten very low for me.

[QUOTE="funsohng"] Just about everyone with steam I thinkCalvin079

Not me. That game is for lames.

Just kidding. I have like 1200 hours in it.

DEFCONfunsohng

I thought that game looked pretty interesting as well, so I stuck it on my wish list.

Also "Hacker Evolution", but that's actually gone down in price. I'm just not quite certain if I want to buy it yet.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]The Wii failed to capitalize on its promise and its potential. While we can argue that the proliferation of motion controls now found on every console, handheld, smartphone and tablet was hastened by the Wii, by and large, the system did NOT do what it initially promised, which is changing the way we play games.hiphops_savior

The Wii didn't get poor third party support.

It just ended up with a library of more obscure games that are bad because nobody has heard about them.

But nah the Wii was actually getting a lot of exclusives from such companies as EA, Sega, Capcom, etc throughout its lifetime. That's not really anything to scoff at. I do believe it holds the second highest amount of high-rated exclusives here on Gamespot (after PC of course).

Who all plays Team Fortress 2?

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]I am pretty open-minded, and I know what I like and what I don't. You don't have to own every single platform and every single game in existance to have a rich gaming experience you know.

I've clearly explained that I have limited time to enjoy the games and systems I have now. My backlog is almost to the ceiling as we speak. I get to decide how to spend my free time and how I spend my money.

PC gamers can have a lot of double-standards. On one hand, I hear posters like you saying PC gaming can be enjoyed without having to spend a lot of money on hardware, and then just like last night I read a comment from a PC elitest telling another PC gamer that if she didn't upgrade to the latest "standard" as he saw it, I guess, she should "quit gaming on PC". I don't get you guys sometimes.

I'm not a person who likes to think about and talk about specs, I have no desire to build a gaming PC, I don't care about most of its Western-centric games and I don't like the PC gaming community (as I've seen it on places like System Wars and in other gaming forums).

You guys just need to accept the fact that there are a lot of different ways for people to enjoy games and gaming, and not everyone is interested in the hands-on approach to PC gaming.

Bigboi500

PC gamers like me huh?

The guy who defends even the most indefensible of console features against fanboys of other systems?

The guy who has, on multiple occasions, been complimented for the amount of sense he brings to a discussion whether it be PC or console talk?

The guy who has literally been called a console fanboy in a discussion about PCs?

PC gamers like me?

You may know what you like, and don't like, but you may also understand that there's always room to discover more. That's what a gamer should think.

The mindset that you have an inability to like something is not open AT ALL.

Japanese and Western devs share many parallels in their game design. The only area they tend to differ being how they craft their RPGs, but you'd be lying if you said you have not enjoyed any WRPGs on your PS3 or 360 wouldn't you? Heck, you'd also be lying if you said you don't enjoy any western-made games on your consoles.

I personally never talk about specs unless the discussion calls for it, and even then I rarely partake. I also don't let fanboys affect my ability to enjoy something. When you go and play your PS3 do you get reminded of what some fanboy on the internet said? I doubt it.

I don't have the idea you should own everything to be open-minded. Didn't I tell you I don't own a 360, or 3DS? Nor did I list off every console to have ever existed.

I just appreciate the term "open-minded" when it's describing someone who is actually open-minded. Not someone who claims to have an inability to enjoy a platform.

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]

Why do I need a "gaming PC" when I clearly said I don't care about things that go with one? I do enjoy games on PC like pinball, solitare and freecell. There you go, I do enjoy games on PC.

Bigboi500

Of all the times you talk about being open-minded towards games, and new experiences, and how you like RPGs, and other story-driven games.

It's just odd to see you state you have an inability to enjoy PC games as it goes against your stance towards gaming.

I've clearly explained that I have limited time to enjoy the games and systems I have now. My backlog is almost to the ceiling as we speak. I get to decide how to spend my free time and how I spend my money.

Hassles and price.

Although I'm starting again soon,I think.Guess I'll just have to deal with it.

freedomfreak

As long as you NEED a PC the price isn't that big of a deal. In fact you would probably save money over buying a computer from a store.

My sister bought herself a $700 computer from the store as she needed one, and it just doesn't even come close to my $700 PC in power, however I bought mine two years before she bought hers.
