I really can't believe the amount of major PC exclusive stuff that is made by obscure studios from Eastern Europe, Poland and Russia. These are the ones that deal with really major franchises.
there are no bad points about pc gaming. buy a wii if you can't handle it!

No thanks, I'll stick to my PlayStation 2.
Console gaming is becoming more like PC gaming every day now, though unfortunately it seems to be imitating all the bad points about PC gaming and few of the good.
ironically, jojo goes on about he survived the supposed internet brutality of opa-age(s), but he runs shrieking and flapping his wrists like a girl after only a few perfunctory disses from maf. lol indeed!
come on: bitching about MENUS? i live for menus! AND STATS. nothing better than five zillion menus full of numbers, settings, sliders, and options -- seriously. my gamepussy gets wet for ROWS AND COLUMNS AND BUTTONS.
My big complaint with PC gaming is how there is hardly any shelf space at the store for the games, and due to the lack of a used market, it's really hard to get ahold of many older (some even a few years old... I haven't seen BGII in a brick and mortar in about 2 years, should've bought a copy when I had the chance) games without resorting to either piracy or ebay.

PC gaming has always and always will be better than console gaming.
The PC can do any kind of game and make good controls, you've got enough possible buttons. Your graphics can top anything if you just get some good parts. The online systems are better than console online systems.... only like 100 different ways to stay in contact with people.
The only things the PC can't do that console CAN do is make it easier for a bunch of local friends play a game on one screen. You also don't have to deal with installation issues or other computer problems.
Also console people really never knew about PC games...
I remember when Halo came out, and everyone and their mother was bringing xboxs over to friends houses and hooking up to multiple TVs....
I tried playing with a few people one night. The graphics were shit, it was impossible to see anyone because the screen was split 4 ways.... and I just kept thinking to myself "Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament, Team Fortress................ these games are a million times better and have been out for so much longer... what the fuck is wrong with these distinguished mentally-challenged fellows?"

No. You just lost your right to use that Ryu avatar. :DQuoteThe PC can do any kind of game and make good controls, you've got enough possible buttons.

It is the installation issues and computer problems that hinders PC gaming. Also consoles have a major advantage of all being the same. With PCs, everyone has a different set-up, so games could potentially run great or like shit. Console game developers get to work with the same hardware for years, and can really push them to their limits, where as on PC, it's like "screw that...let's just move onto bigger and better hardware."
PC gaming now is a shell of its former self. It's really sad to see so many great genres and games dead. There's so little other than generic FPS #499945945945945, RTS games, and MMORPGs being released. It's really sad; PC gaming up until this decade had some awesome, AWESOME games. Many of my all-time favorite titles are still from the late 80s and early 90s. That time in PC gaming is dead. Consoles are king.QuoteAlso console people really never knew about PC games...
Disagree. The same people I knew who went nuts over Halo also went nuts over Doom, Quake, UT, etc. Certainly Halo got the attention of more people who didn't have PCs or didn't play PC games before though...that's the appeal of consoles.QuoteI remember when Halo came out, and everyone and their mother was bringing xboxs over to friends houses and hooking up to multiple TVs....

Halo was popular because Halo was FUN. People loved playing it, and it definitely helped that it was so easy to just bring over an XBox and plug n' play. It's not as easy with PCs.
One platform isn't overall better than the other. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. What has happened is that consoles have been catching up with PCs, and it's getting to the point that PCs aren't really "required" for a lot of types of gaming any longer.
i prefer playing console games instead of pc games because i like laying on the couch while i play. for real.
Sometimes I wonder if PC gaming is a generational thing .. or if its just my generation that is keeping the thing going. Meaning .. does someone who is a lifelong gamer and turns 27ish begin to migrate to PC gaming? Or is it just 27+ yr olds that are still PC Gaming because that's what they have always done since the late 80's?
I'm sure you could think of examples to buoy both arguements.
What gives me a lot of hope for the PC gaming world is what I am seeing out of Eastern Europe, Asia and Russia. These game producers are getting better and better at making games (usually mining old ideas) and help fill the gaps between the few PC devs still making quality titles. I think this trend will only increase.
PC's still rule the graphic adventure genre. Which is still not dead and is still pretty awesome at times.
also, anybody with a PC can play enough great freeware and mods (although they seem to be less prevalent these days) to last between even the longest gaming droughts. Hell, Kenta Cho gets more playtime in my house these days then many games I've paid for.
Indigo Prophecy has great setting and atmosphere. The graphics were a little dated even back then but the artistic direction makes up for the technical flaws.
Why? I'll admit that my impressions were based only on the 1st hour or so but it was good enough that I'll go back to it.
