I am playing it with a keyboard and mouse on the PS3. It works fine, and Valve didn't skimp on the PC style options either.

Just one more reason my past favorite developer is now irrelevant to my gaming hobby. Just another EA swallow up to poop out and destroy

The whole reciept thing is really a mental idea. Once you install it you never touch the box or disc again. ( Unless you have some weird fetish maybe).

However, they won't drop the price when your essentially getting the same product, digital just costs less to distribute.

Before they ever dropped the price on day 1 digital releases, you'd probably see physical copies increase by $10-$12 to cover the increase in production and shipping costs. I'll take my digital copies at retail price if it helps keep physcial copy costs down.

Besides, no disc drive noise and the system will run cooler and last longer. I've primarily been a PC gamer, but all of my PS3 games I buy digital if I can for those reasons, plus being used to Steam it feels natural to me.

I don't worry about resell. If I need to resell my game, I probably shouldn't have afforded it in the first place.

I know I'm not, I'm not expecting much actually at all. If anything the last couple of years of this Gen have left me bored of gaming, I'm not expecting much to change between now and then.

Sure we've had a few good strides in development, but mostly every game boils down to the same thing.

My wife and I were just talking about this, how that every game it seems at it's core, is nothing but a group of quests. This weekend I had some down time and rented a couple of games and tried a few demos. I tried AC II, Deus Ex, Skyrim, Quantum Conundrum, Journey, Flower, Pinball Arcade and Dust 514. The first 3 games on that list are almost the same game, except Skyrim let's you wander off a bit, but it's still got that quest nagging at you. I didn't enjoy them at all. Ironically the $15 Indie/Downloadable games had my attention I had the best times with.

And some things feel forced also. One example was playing Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare. The game had me totally enjoying it at first, and then I realized I was running around doing favors for people I don't care about, while I'm supposed to be looking for a cure for my family. That thought completely ruined the game for me.

I've been gaming for 30 years, and I don't remember a time, like this 2005-Present era where every game felt the same at it's core. With a few exceptions on the horizon there isn't even much coming out that even interests me.

The problem is that no matter what hardware the next gen has, no matter how good the graphics are it could be the same old stuff, on a more expensive machine. This problem has even effected PC gaming to an extent.

We need an entirely new physcis and AI system to grab hold. We need something fresh a new that is as great as the old. Like how Little Big Planet took platforming to a new level. It took a good old stanby that is fun to play, and enhanced the gameplay. I don't care how good the story of Assassins Creed is or any other game. I'm tired of suffering through the same old stuff for stories, when I could just read a book, graphic novel, watch a movie and save myself about $40 and 20 hours.

The good and bad on this is really in the developers shoes. I don't see the issue with some map packs, for some people I know CoD or BF3 is like their MMO. It's all they really play and all they really enjoy anyways.

Also some DLC isn't that bad. Red Dead Redemptions DLC had me mad at first. Then I bought it, and got another 20+ hours of great gameplay and story to my favorite game this generation. All DLC isn't bad, some is a downright steal even.

Capcom may be the exception, not the rule.

Most of us all paid $15 a month, on top of a $60 entry fee for a game at least once in our lives. Some pay $100's a year. And it's what they love to do. You don't have to buy DLC for every game you have, just the ones that you can't get enough of playing.

I get that this new model is frustrating to people. But when you read Game of Thrones, Star Wars Novels, Harry Potter, whatever it is you like, did you complain also that you didn't get the next 5 books for free because you bought the first one?

Any author has half the story done when they finish the first book, but the first book only has 10% of that story in it, but no one complains that they are charging for the other 90% of the story. They get excited and preorder the book.

Title should read:

"BLACK OPS RETURNS IN BLACK OPS 2!!!!"

Who would have ever thunk it?

You get the same guns and characters too!! No preorder required!!

I used to go for them, but not anymore. I have no desire to punish myself on the highest difficulty just for a virtual prize that brings me nothing and may not even be on the next Playstation anyways.

All that extra time I spent getting them I could have been playing other games and enjoying them. Hence why I'm just now getting around to AC2 and Batman AA

Your whole logic is wrong with the survey anyways.

The PC isn't a part of any console generation. It's always evolving and changing and console ports to PC really don't count.

The only way to really determine a winner is which console did you enjoy the most, or did you mostly play on the PC since 2005.

You could survey and compare by who won by exclusives, which is still opioniated anyways because not everyone likes Halo and not everyone thinks PC exclusives are worth playing.

I don't care who is better, I only care did I enjoy it or get my money's worth.
