The unknown future of PC gaming....

[snuif09]

But consoles are not intended to compete with upgradable PCs. The PC Vs console debate is retarded. They can not and should not be compared. Uber PCs are great. But the console gamer shouldn't be looked down on because they decide to take the easy route to gaming.

Yes and that easy(mindless) route is why there aren't as much great games as there used to be but only sequels to sequels to a sequel.

Because the average console crowd is much easier to content and are willing to pay higher prices. Because there's not enough console gamers (as to make a difference) that would go to forums and say 2 straight intelligent sentences as to why a game sucks* and that way they have no post-release responsability.
Because they don't care about dedicated servers, 32+ player MP, ability to create mods and countless of other things that PC gamers take as granted.
etc.etc.

I'm obviously not putting guys from TPU forums on that bag, but you guys you are the minority.

* They would say childish things that no one takes seriously.

So, because I'm a console gamer, I'm not as intelligent as you? Mmmmmmmmmm.

But thats the point. They are in fact the inferior platform.

Well, yes. But that inferior platform isn't what this thread is about. This thread is about PC gaming dying out.

yes.

yes.

I have 2 words for you. But I'm far to polite to use them.

EDIT: actually, I'm not: Fuck you!

Just saying it makes you less of an idiot then describing it though.

Yep, exactly. If the attitude of the mayority is let's just play anything, publishers will just release anything.

The same is happening to TV. At least here is Spain it's terrible. Apprently people just put on the TV and want to see the most mindless and irrelevant thing they can find (like Big Brother), so as to not to have to use the brain (after the countless hours of not using their brain in their repetitive and meaningless work I guess) and since that's what a mayority of people want, not the grand mayority, but a significant mayority and creating those crappy TV shows cost 2 pennies, that's what we get today on TV. 24/7 of midless and irrelevant mediocrity.

Critical Mass reached. Thread will now self destruct!

Nah m8. We are all debating like adults. But one idiot always has to start throwing the insults around.

PS: another thing I have noticed is hardcore PC gamers turning their backs on PC gaming and actually turning to consoles (a little bit like myself).

Yep, exactly. If the attitude of the mayority is let's just play anything, publishers will just release anything. The cheapest thing.

I said that I exclude TPU users, because being on TPU already demostrates some degree of intelligence, but face it, most console gamers are <15 year old idiots.

That being said, you are not as intelligent as me.

So, this thread is basically pointless.

PC gaming isn't dying, but it is being effected by the prevailence of consoles. People still play games on the PC, companies still make games for the PC, some companies make games for the PC exclusively, but the console market holds the rest of the developers back from taking huge steps in technological progression. There's too much money in it, Nintendo, Sony, Sega and Microsoft turned the video game industry into a billion dollar a year industry and all the publishers want a slice of that pie.

And Hookey, you got trolled pretty hard, reread your post then look through the rest of posts after it.

I dont recall someone cursing at you.

You may be more intelligent than me.....but at least I can spell FFS! Please tell me how you know you are more intelligent than me?

You guys are bonkers! I would love to think of myself as a superior being from a master race because I use a PC but the honest truth is this: If I am playing a game with my friends, it doesn't matter if it's on the PC or the console because I'm having equal amounts of fun on both systems!

yeah maybe on the Nintendo Wii. the average age of a gamer is 35.

 

[Praetorian]

I keep reading this thread and I'm laughing my pants off. What's with this silly statement that people prefer gaming on consoles because they are easier to use, or are much more simpler and convenient than gaming on PC?!?!!? LOL

You have a good point there.

That is one thing that is terrible about the PC. I had tons of fun playing splitscreen Halo 3 with friends and family.

Oh, we are at that point in which the bad spelling of people for whom english is the 3rd (maybe 4th) language is a valid counter-argument?

And it was a joke FFS!

Bad timing for a joke? You're probably right.

 

[HookeyStreet]

English isn't everyones 1st language.

That's not my fault is it? We can't all be perfect.

Well please explain to me how you are more intelligent than me and how you know this for a fact? Have we met?

You know, at some point the mods are gonna look at this thread and they might close it. I really like this thread and find it to be good conversation, so why would you foul it up with insults and general retardation.

So why doesn't everyone stand up, take a chill pill and come back to the table when they can act like adults?

I agree. This thread isn't about PC vs console. It's about PC gaming, nothing more.

You see? 360 and PS3 users think they are leet because of the Wii having "less power". But in fact the Wii is a vastly superior platform then the PS3 or 360. Add the fact they cannot hold a candle to the PC in ANYTHING and you are given a massive inferiority complex. Sad really.
