Question of the Day, July 3, 2010

[Zorpheus]

This question gets asked way too much. Games on any platform will never "die" until gaming companies stop publishing games for them.

 

[Irridium]

PC dieing?

Valve, Blizzard, CD Projekt Red, Turbine, Bioware, DICE, Mythic, Creative Assembly and Runic would like a few words with you.

Its not dieing, but Publishers seem to be trying their hardest to kill it with insane DRM and crappy console ports.

PC gaming STILL has the best graphics on the market and every developer knows it. That however has its pros and cons because developers are pretty lazy. They want to develop for platform gamers because they are easier to please. Good graphics take time and money so PC may have the best graphics, but not many developers take advantage of that. I still prefer PC any day of the week!

"That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die."*

Oh come on, at least google the phrase before posting if you're unsure!

You stay up all night as a single parent and try to get Lovecraft right! I just wanted a nap

Well, now you see why you're supposed to sacrifice your firstborn to the Elder Gods!

*exasperated sigh*

I'm sleepy I forgot the rites.

If you need a refresher course, most of them can be found in your average Japanese tentacle-hentai.

Funny thing, last time I heard that "PC gaming was dying", it became huge again.

So... no, and whenever I hear this question, I expect it to do greater than before.

Who the hell lets those people make questions? First Twilight, now ANOTHER troll question?

I'm actually wondering about the same thing.

I suppose it's not easy thinking of a new question everyday, so they may end up scraping the barrel at times, using basic questions they've heard before from various Users.

I believe my local book store has a section for that so I'll peruse it later today. Do not tell out cultist friends of my horrible ineptitude. It will make me look bad.

Fine, but you're bringing the Virgins next week. And don't forget the meeting place this time! It's twixt the Howling Cavern and Devil's Point. Look for the balloons and/or the screams of the damned.

Sometimes I wish PC gaming does die.

I hate it when games are PC exclusive, the parts for them cost alot, and sometimes keyboards make bad contorllers.

 

[Captain Pancake]

Seriously, you need to vary the poll options, or at least make the given choices sound less extreme. I don't think PC gaming is dead, I was playing it all afternoon. But it definitely doesn't reign supreme either, there has to be a definition there.

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

Of course microsoft wont abandon the PC, they MADE THEM!

 

[Booze Zombie]

No, the PC has simply stepped away from physical sales and instead makes money through digital sales.

I should know, I've sunk quite a bit of money into my hobby.

The money you spend on the parts for a PC, you'd spend that same money buying a few games on a console.

So, it does balance out.

 

[Cornish]

Eh?

Any-way; no it isn't.

 

[Abnaxus]

More alive than ever !

 

[Cabisco]

Fail question.

If anything, consoles are growing more and more to look like the PC. The future will have a single kind of console, which obviously will look like the PC, since it's used to everything. The simplistic nature of the console is what makes it inferior.

First off, woo picture buddies.

Secondly, I find this question very strange. It seems like flame bait to me, if I asked the same question in the forums with the same answers theirs actually a good chance I would get suspended or notified not to do it again. I've got to ask, why do these questions never seem to follow the rules of the rest of the forum?

 

[ultimateownage]

Pc gaming dead? Bull to the fucking shit. Pc gaming just isn't getting has much attention lately, because idiots and idiot companies think pc gaming isn't has good has console gaming.

 

[Enigmers]

My current gaming library is something like 34 Steam games vs. 30 Console games, and I have a bunch of PC games that I haven't added to steam yet. I love gaming on my PC, and I certainly will continue to do so.

PC gaming is still alive and kicking... Epic and Microsoft have not really much to do with that though...

They'll just barge in a few years from now, scream about how PC gaming is still alive, and then take all the credit.

 

[Edward Heffner]

PC gaming hasn't even begun to shine its brightest it'll smash the consoles soon enough

 

[Keava]

Unless the gaming consoles will let me run Photoshop, Maya, zBrush and use tablet, allow me to create proper mods for games, and let me alt-tab to internet browser/IM software at my whim..so basically become PCs, its not going to happen.

There will always be enough freaks making games for PC just because it is most common platform. When someone buys a console they are pretty much set on gaming, but a lot of PC users are still a group that can be 'converted' into gamers.

 

[Edward Heffner]

PC'S are were consoles derive all their power without the PC consoles are nothing cause in my opinion many game types such as RTS and MMORPG's are best on PC. and as long as WORLD OF WARCRAFT is around PC will never diminish tho i find FPS controls are more accurate with mouse and keyboard
