Why I am Leaving PC Gaming

[QUOTE="The_PC_Gamer"]Dude, please name some GOOD games that didn't get a PC port?killax3563

oh you said good games. i thought you said GREAT games.

Nintendo make kids games :\

[QUOTE="Toriko42"]Because Developer's have left us

So many great games come from the console to the PC, but sadly many of these are shoddy ports. Granted, some are good like Gears of War but many are terrible, Halo 2 anyone? Guitar Hero 3 and countless others. The extreme lack of good games coming out for the PC have also pissed me off. Everytime I see new games, they are almost always sequels, console ports, or expansion packs. I miss original games, games that were epic not just sequels a la Battlefield or COD.

I crave a new experience, lag free gaming with no need for a huge system just to get the best out of the graphics. In 1-2 months I will buy a 360 and play GTA IV, Dead Rising, Rainbow Six (Shoddily Ported to PC), Mass Effect and many others. I will play it on Xbox live and play all these games maxed out. I will wait for new great games to come to the console and not wait for a crappy port.

When developer's learn how to treat the PC, I will come back to it

I am not mad at my PC, I am mad at developers. I'll still play on my PC but trust me, aren't you getting tired of it.

The Sims 2 with billions of expansion packs, Blizzard making sequels to a few games rather then new games, Battlefield god knows what, COD5??

No thank you

make up statements? no, i'm just more on top of the industry than u are. its called informational advantage.

'....In December of 2005, Microsoft famously reported that the failure rate for XBox's was no more than 3%. But that's since crept up to a "4-5%" failure rate. This left one obvious question.'

see that was dec 2005 and the 360 was just released 1 month ago, so at that time a failure rate of 3-5% would have been understandable and not a lie. Do you realize why ?

anyways i already know about much higher failure rates but i just wanted to see of MS actually said that the number is so low because I have always heard them say no comment on topic of RROD

Anyways on topic, npd themselves admitted they don't count DD and counting this could make PC the dominant game platform. The figures Ms provided was by an external agency also that tried to analyze digital sales also. so guess who was using proper data ?

digital downloads, digital downloads.

the xbox 360 and p3 both have digital downloads as well. and those sales also aren't counted in the NPD numbers. so what was ur point again.

no no no no no no no, piracy IS killing pc gaming, NOT the video game industry. pc game revenues are declining but video game revenues as a whole are rising..annually speaking.... yaddayaddayadda...xuimod

I use a PC...

1.) I can afford to have a decent rig .(.3D O6 13,478)

2,) I have no problems geting games to run...usually maxed..FFoW, GoW, BioShock etc adn( Crysis looks amazing...not maxed but amazing...)

3.) Patchs /Updates are no problem for me find and D/L..phhfff

4.) Which leads to number four...Mods!!! ( Lifetimes of mods..can you imagine what they are going to do to Fallout 3..???!!! Sweet...!!! I'm getting some of that..I've got a story laid out already)

5.) Number 5 is the mmost important...controls...Mouse and Speedpad..kicked back in a custom recliner...moniter mounted on swivel arm..play more laid back then any consoler on a couch ever did. I could play flat on my back with the moniter right above me...

6.) The games I like to play are for the PC...and PC games are usually more mature...

Those 6 reasons look good to me....

Ohh noes! Hes leaving pc gaming! :Pkozzy1234

do you really think DD on 360 and ps 3 are in the same amount as the pc ?

MMORPGs are generating the most revenue for pc gaming right now. They, unlike stand alone pc games, are not pirated to even the closest degree. Yes you do have the illegal private servers, but that requires someone to WORK and MAINTAIN it. Sure some people shell out the cash to keep them running, but people never stay long and always go back to the real thing. A big reason is that while everyone wants to be able to buy their way to the top, the entire mood is killed when everyone else is too. So the baseline becomes whomever has the most money, which isnt the same case on official servers. Content has been designed so money only has so much worth, and mostly has a staying power for ALT-hood.

To be honest if it wasnt for mmorpgs being so potent on pc, and pretty much zero variety on consoles, I might not be a pc gamer. The only reason I am a pc gamer, and have been since 1998, is because of Ultima Online, Everquest, and the like.

MMORPGs are attracting developers for pc gaming. If there wasnt mmorpgs on the pc right now, I might be worried. However the future is very bright, and so is pc gaming.
