[quote name='JCDenton']People still play on PC because it is flat out better. You're right, there really is no comparison. No comparison between PC shooters which often allow 64 or 128 players and console versions which generally have 16 on average. No comparison between PC games running at 1920x1200 with 4x AA at 60 FPS with enhanced graphics, and console games that often can't even run at real 720p and have to be upscaled (hi Halo 3!), often with no AA and struggling to run at 30 FPS. And no comparison between PC games with mods and free content a plenty, and console games where you bend over and take it up the ass buying $2 shirts for your "avatar." I've compared what a lot of recent games like batman and need for speed look like on the consoles compared to the PC, and quite frankly I feel sorry for anyone who's stuck gaming only on a 360 because they're too poor to buy a PC.
Except...money doesn't have anything to do with it at all! It's actually stupidity. PC gaming is actually much cheaper than console gaming in the long run for someone who buys a decent amount of games. PC games start out cheaper and are discounted quicker, plus you can buy games from other regions that are still in English. It's not uncommon to be able to get thai version games (in english) on ebay for $25-$30 on launch week. Or even a US version game for that if you wait another week or two. That savings more than adds up, and a PC gamer with a top end rig that destroys any console will end up spending less in the long run despite having the much better gaming experience.
What are even the advantages of a console? Some stupid achievements so you can feel like you're accomplishing something? Universal voice chat so you can hear more squeaky-voiced 12 year olds yell racial slurs? Enjoy paying Micro$oft $100 for a network adaptor...rofl.[/QUOTE]
lol...nice rant. I never said one was better than the other anyways, so why you went off on that is odd. I'm just saying PC gaming isn't as popular now than it used to be. Most people own a PC, but not many of them have a PC that can really run the newer games. Everybody who has a 360 can run every game without any worries that their system isn't up to snuff. PC gaming is in the rear view mirror for most people.
