Im 24 and dont have a uber pc and dont want one. I have used one and I still rather have my console. That already kills your so called truth. Only thing your doing making yourself look like a child.

You need to see what's out there.

Lots of Strategy RPGs, and normal RPGs available, and some good JRPG/JRPG-esque titles too.

Not that you need an "uber" pc to run them all, but one of the best selections of RPGs is on the PC.

im not a fan anything strategy heavy. Its not they are bad it just isint my cup of tea. I also got a good laptop for xmas that can play a good amount of games and I have bought some games already and ran them. Its just my console comes first. I dont hate pc gaming its just I prefer my consoles. I mainly bought a good amount of horro games like cryostasis and penumbra collection and will eventually get to them.

I'm not very big into the strategy side of things myself, but occasionally they can be great. Despite how boring they may look the phrase "Just one more turn" pretty much came to being due to how incredibly addicting Civilization (not an RPG) is, and games like it. Despite that there is still a very wide selection of RPGs even if you ignore the strategy RPGs. In fact it's most definitely the largest selection of RPGs of any of the big systems (consoles/PC).

I'm not really a fan of laptops though. The experience just doesn't quite compare to a desktop, so hopefully that works out for you. I just can't imagine the games being all that fun though. To me I'd place the analogy somewhere around it being like playing a console on a 13" SDTV; it has room to get better, MUCH better. If your laptop has the proper port on it you can very easily hook them up to monitors, or even most modern HDTVs. I'd suggest that especially with those horror games you've got. Do those games justice.

Just keep your mind open. There's soooooooo many PC games out there. I used to be very big into console gaming myself, and even when I began playing PC I never really considered it on the same level as consoles, but as time went on, and I learned more and more about what PC games existed, and dived deeper into the library, the PC just overwhelmed me. I'm surprised almost on a daily basis.

Depends who you ask. Many gamers find those games you listed very niche..i don't however. I would be most pissed off about The Last Guardian or FF13V the most.

Diablo 3 is niche?

I do believe people would get murdered if Diablo 3 was to be cancelled.

I like you aia, I really do, but I do believe you're wrong on this one.

Many people here DO play most games at 1080p with roughly 60 fps. I know I do.

However, personally, I've stated on numerous occasions the games in which I can't play at 1080p depending on the topic at hand such as Crysis.

Plenty of people around these forums have better PCs than I do, and understanding the limits of my own PC, I tend to believe people in the performance they get on their games.

For any PC gamers that can not play at 1080p with 60fps I'm sure a lot opt to go for less resolution to retain their performance. I know I do, but despite that I still never have to run my games at console level to get them to play right. My performance still smashes the consoles even on games like Crysis, and my computer is, nowadays, below mid-range.

Let me explain, I have been a PC gamer since I can remember, but now I can barely stand installing games and fixing errors, and patching bla bla bla. I just feel like it's easier to play on the console. A bunch of my friends (the older ones), have also «migrated» from the PC to the consoles, because they wanted to come home, sit and enjoy the game without having to care with optimization issues and whatever.

dont think u been pc gaming since 94

i've been gaming since 94 and feel the same! it probably has something to do with growing up, having a career, and not having time to care about it.

I could probably count the amount of minutes I spend "fixing issues" on my PC every year with a single hand.

Nope, there doesn't appear to be a single console-exclusive game coming out that I care about.

Handhelds on the other hand... I wouldn't mind if I had some money for one of those atm.

Here's another thing, is there even a difference with 'casual' and 'core' gaming. It makes no sense. If fanboys make fun of 'casual' gaming, then they need to take a look at themselves and realize what they are doing. 'Casual' gaming is no different than 'core' gaming. It is all gaming itself and will stay that way. Not only that, these 'casual' gamers make one hundred times more gamers than fanboys to be honest.

The other thing to note is just how hard it is to get into the supposed "core" games.

I mean to me casual seems to imply there's very little barrier to entry, and no real skill necessary, but that's the case with a ton of games. In fact nearly all of the big game releases tend to be incredibly easy to get into, and require no real skill to complete.

I just finished watching Horrible Bosses.

It was actually kind of funny. Much better than I thought it was going to be.

verbtex

Now watch Revolver (completely and entirely unrelated)

I just think it's awesome. I watched it for the first time a week or so ago, and have watched it three times since.

You can even watch it fo free on Crackle

http://www.crackle.com/c/Revolver/Revolver/2482482?c=US

It's definitely a movie to watch if you like either "Snatch" or "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels"

From the eyes of a PC gamer no, the Wii was not a failure.

In fact it was the most successful console as far as I'm concerned by both providing unique games, and experiences you couldn't find substitutes for elsewhere, and for keeping four-player multiplayer alive and well.

It's best games were not trying to mimic the cinema experience, and it's best games did not revolve around realism, and killing.

It was not attempting to be a PC while proceeding to fail worse and worse as PC tech advanced.

It was the only true console this generation as far as I'm concerned.
