PC gaming is like a beehive, you want the honey but no stings.

I have been playing PC games since I was a kid, but until now I have never owned a top-end gaming PC. I only owned medium-level PCs. This is because I have not yet forked over enough money to build a high-end PC (although I do intend to in a few months). Now, from my experience, PC gaming is like a beehive. You want all the sweet "honey" like great games, awesome graphics, superb keyboard and mouse controls, great online, game mods, and so forth. However, PC gaming can provide a lot of "sting" just like bees in a beehive. These "stings" include a high price for your hardware, you may need to upgrade your graphics card every now and then, lack of Japanese games, and you need to have fast broadband in order to take full advantage of most PC games.

I know it is strange/silly for me to compare PC gaming to a beehive, but I am merely using an analogy to express how I feel about PC gaming. The main thing I am trying to point out is that although PC gaming is potentially the most expensive form of gaming, the benefit you gain from it is very great. Using a keyboard and mouse for shooting games is very good, plus all the cool free maps/mods you can get are very good too. I spent alot of time playing NeverWinter Nights due to user-created content, something that is rare to come across on consoles.

So, do you think PC gaming is good enough to the point where it is worth that extra money over consoles? Apart from graphics, what other aspects of PC gaming appeal to you?

I really can't find the lack of Japanese games to be a negative. There rarely has been Japenese games on the PC and whenever there is one it gets little attention because there are better titles out to play.

The graphical features isn't what gets me appealed to PC gaming, it's the accessibility and more games on PC suit my needs than they do on a console.

Same if i were in it for the graphics I'd never be playing blizzard's games more than anything else.

So you're saying that the PC has both advantages and disadvantages? Amazing!chutup

Its not really much at all though if your going to use it for anything else, you know maybe even work on your computer.

I never got this whole thing about building a "gaming PC", any PC with half decent innards can run a game, throw in a good discrete GPU and viola "gaming PC".

I agree with that.

Very true, its quite hilarious when we get labeled "Graphics Whores" when our Valve/Blizzard games are the most played even years later...

And every new console game with good graphics and lackluster game play ala Killzone 2 & Gears of War 2 get so much attention its not even funny.

True, I've got a low-end rig and it doesn't stop me from enjoying STALKER and Company of Heroes at medium settings.

I think we get the "graphic whore" image because we attempt to prove that the graphical improvement in multiplats is worth the uprade cost, and also because of ..Crysis! :o

I still play Diablo 2 to this day :)

i am not a big fan of K&M . i dont see whats so great about it . it feels very uncomfortable .deadmeat59

You can still use an Xbox 360 controller for PC games. However, some people still don't like sitting on a chair to play games, so I guess another advantage for consoles is that you can sit on a nice sofa to play on, instead of some kind of office chair :P

For the TC, I think the beehive analogy is pretty good. I guess you could also make an analogy that PC gaming is like a gorgeous, hot babe that can sometimes be bichee and high maintenance. :lol:

In addition to being able to use a 360 controller, you can also hook your PC up to any HDTV and play on the couch, just like an Xbox.

no PC gaming is all stinging. In the ass especially.razu_gamer

I'm still waiting for you to say 1 neutral or good point about PC gaming, I guess playing a budget consolet that breaks alot and produces oh-so average graphics with a false promise of 1080P and a completely milkage sub-par online in comparison.

When you've been gaming and working in a PC for about 11 years, it just feels natural. :P

Obvious troll is obvious.
