How I Converted To The PC

[Poomanchu745]

Welcome to the dark side of gaming. PC gaming FTW!

Congrats, you've joined the good fight... now for the bad news... we're losing

Hahaha, Fallout 3 on 360 was terrible IMO. It froze my Xbox and gave me the red rings. I love modding Fallout 3... at this point, my mod makes Fallout 3 unrecognizable when put up against the vanilla version.

PC all the way man! I am glad to hear you realized a great truth and joined the pc gamers. Fallout 3 and Oblivion are nothing on the consoles! ...I want my GTA IV dlc!

I like both but sometimes wish I had some of the games from Steam on my comp instead of having the Orange box and Fallout 3 on the Xbox. I prefer Gears of War and Call of Duty on the box than those which would seem more enjoyable on the PC.

I play consoles and pc. Those who have the opportunity to experience any fantastic great game, on any system, are the real winners.

And, congrats,TC, a few more good PC games are The Witcher, Morrowind, STALKER and various black isle and bioware RPGs.

I tried PC gaming, and it folded me over my desk and whaled on my ass with a steak tenderizer. Stupid bastard never had the courtesy to just shut up and make the motherfucking game work. Always required at least a week of fiddling.

But that is partially why I find PC gaming so fun. You can spend more time fiddling with settings and tweaking your box instead of playing games. And it's actually enjoyable doing so.

By fiddling, I mean troubleshooting and reinstalling things desperately hoping that the process wouldn't fail to initialize. That's not fun, that's just annoying.

What we PC gamers value most of all is not your mouse aiming skills or /played time in World of Warcraft. What we respect is your ability to whinge and complain about new games, so be sure to master that essential skill young padawan.

...So?
Personally I don't care about your opinions on gaming, and I'll play whatever game I feel like on whatever platform I want.
You aren't going to convince anyone.

Yeah but PC is still the best FTW!

If that is your TV, why not plug your PC into it?

TVs aren't as sharp as monitors, but games will sure as shit look better on a TV if your monitor is equivalent to that crap xD

 

[Doktor Merkwurdigliebe]

Or even though you have all the required hardware your game still runs like crap. Driver issues, wrong brand of hardware, conflicting programs that should not even be noticed by a game yet can still bog shit down.

This is what makes PC gaming especially delicious.
The satisfaction when game actually runs fine at the [insert number here] try.

I turned to PC to play all the older titles and PC exclusive adventure games. The first game that did it was Myst IV: Revelation. Then I went backwards and played games such as Grim Fandango, Broken Sword, Sanitarium, etc.

Also, console gaming just got boring. Dreamcast died a painful death, all the other consoles just regurgitating the same games but with better graphics.

And, yeah, playing with mouse and keyboard is far more comfortable, responsive and accurate than a pad. Even Silent Hill on the PC is easier.

My computer is outdated, but I just ordered all new parts for it, so I will probably get back into PC gaming.

Maybe it isn't fun. Hrm. Then again I find setting up linux to be something worth spending entire weekends on. Only to ditch linux for windows later when I want to play some games. (But not before trying to run them in wine with varied levels of success.)

And besides, I found something nice to do. You know how some people like to post over the top high resolution screenshots with heaps and heaps of AA and all that?

It's way more fun doing this.
