It's called the summer gaming drought. Happens with every gaming platform.

And what else? What's with PC gamers, you'd think that was the only game you have. Oh wait, it almost is.

Err... no. It's one of the more recent games to push PC hardware to the limits. Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are a 360 fanboy. I think the only game that the PC doesn't have that the 360 does is Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and Forza. Now everyone knows that Halo 3 is going to come out for the PC and we might not have Forza but we have GTR. So I really don't see what you're getting at.

I'm arguing PC vs consoles, not PC vs 360, but the 360 has plenty other exclusives than the ones you listed and if memory serves me correctly, Bungie already said Halo 3 isn't coming to PC.

PC vs All is a very general arguement. I will not continue to wirte because this is going nowhere, as most of these things do. My stance still remains and I may have respected your opinion more if you gave me any solid evidence instead of "derp derp consoles win cuz I says so."

The popular games, the games that rise to the top, those are the games people want to play. Those are the games people buy consoles for. No one is going to buy a PC for a ****ing Sherlock Holmes game.

But people are going to buy/upgrade computers for a game like Crysis.

I'd be willing to be the VAST majority of gamers have never even heard of DarkStar One. Or Sid Meier's Railroads? Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened? Like I said, a bunch of games no one plays. Your little list means nothing.

ThatGuyFromB4

How does that make a game of lesser quality? The fact that you're basing this purely off popularity is pathetic.

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]$300-$400, I seriously doubt. Its not just my friend either, I just never see much more than shooters and RTSs for PC. I also doubt that WASD > Analog nub for action games. WASD only gives you 6 direction to work with, unles devs use Z, X, and C.ThatGuyFromB4

Do note this spreadsheet hasn't been updated in a while. Only one I could find from a thread that's about a month old.

So PC has about

7 more AAAe than the 360, and 8 more AAAe than the PS3.

6 more AAA titles than the 360, and 6 more than the PS3

54 more AAe than the 360, and 62 more AAe than the PS3

9 more AA than the 360, and 38 more AA than the PS3.

And it doesn't list A for PC, but just assume there's a few hundred of those

Also, realize what you're saying about WASD. You realize that the left analog stick on your controller is basically a glorified D-PAD. The right analog controls which direction you're facing, and the mouse does that for PC only it's a lot more precise. And I mean a LOT more precise, and faster too.

So the vast majority of those are MMOs (and their expansions), RTS, and a bunch of games that no one plays and no one cares about. I'm unimpressed.

Such uneducated statements make me cringe.

[QUOTE="Einhanderkiller"][QUOTE="enterawesome"]PCs are meh. It doesn't seem like there are as many good games for it as people like to say. KB/M only seems good for RPGs, shooters, and RTSs, but PC hasn't had a JRPG in quite a long time (has it ever had one?), and there are no platformers, hardly any fighters, no racers (except that one Trackmania whats-it), and I can't imagine action games control very well on it, not to mention its terribly user-unfriendly, and costs more than the average person can afford.enterawesome
Last Remnant released on the PC and got a much higher score than the 360 version. There are many platformers, but most of them are indie games or movie tie-ins. The indie platformers are fantastic, though. There are fighters. Street Fighter IV is probably the only big budget to release on the PC in quite a while (the old Street Fighters were officially released for PC, too), but there are fighting engines such as MUGEN which give you unlimited possibilities. There are many racers on the PC. Trackmania, as you mentioned, are but just one of them. There's also the GTR series, Live for Speed, and rFactor, which are racing sims. Many racing games on consoles also release on PC, such as DiRT, GRID, and Need for Speed. Action games control just fine. Just hook up a 360 controller if you have troubles with the mouse. But the mouse has been perfectly fine for me in all the games I've played except for racing games. Batman: Arkham Asylum plays flawlessly with KB&M. Yeah, it isn't as user-friendly as consoles, but computer skills are pretty much a necessity nowadays. Learning how to operate a computer is an essential skill to learn. PC gaming helps with your career! And, no. PC gaming is cheaper than ever. Look at this. $550 to play most PC games on high.

At last, I must accept defeat. I've been owned to many times, just guarding whatever small opinions I have left. I apolagize for my fail, PC just doesn't interest me.

Justice has been served. Good show.

Seriously though, you should at least give PC gaming a chance it could change your perspective, but only if you are willing.

I live in Texas and indeed we are a very backwards society. I have friends at the age of 17 and 18 who are conservative, uttering Obama spurs all kinds of dicusccion of Socialism and apparently we now think that Obama is less important then Bush.

2 x 4 ports are only going to give you 7 ports. You could do 3 x 4 port routers though and have 10 ports.

Reason you'll only get 7 ports is because one router will have to connect to the other. One end of the cat cable will come from one of the LAN ports and the other end will go to the WAN port.

This is what it would look like.

Blue is ethernet cables to PCs.

You could also just pick up a 8 port switch and not have to worry about router configuration if your just going to do LAN play.

An 8 port router or switch.

kilerchese

Is there a way to utalize 2 4 port routers for eight computers? Or will I strictly need an 8 port router?
