They've never been as successful as console games. You do have a few exceptions like The Sims or WOW/Everquest.

which game is it thats not working and do you have any ideas why? As much as I love my consoles, PCs still are the real home for the FPS and RTS games. The control scheme is worth the troubleshooting

Well then you run into the problem...is my 360 going to work? Or, is the game I want to play on actually available for PS3, and did the publisher do a good job porting it over (EA, anyone)? There aren't many PC-esque games for the Wii, certainly no RTS or non-Metroid FPS entries.

I ran into the same problem as you once with Command and Conquer 3. I bought a damaged disc *new* from a Target. Rather than return it, I just had it resurfaced locally and went about my gaming.

There are drawbacks to all of them. Try updating those video drivers yet?

PC games are dying? They're doing better than they ever have.

They are still the best platform for RTS/FPS/MMO games.

Dope

I prefer PC gaming. Keyboard/mouse>console controller

Plus you can upgrade your hardware whenever. And you can do lots of other nifty things with your PC.

The only recent game I can directly compare is Bioshock. And the PC version destroys the Xbox 360 version in my opinion. I admit I have a decent PC to run the game but there is no comparison. The only reason I have a console (Wii) is for multiplayer games when I have company over.

shut up consolefags. No one loves you.

Minimum requirements are what you need to INSTALL the game. You're not playing anything and having fun on minimum requirements.

I swear you guys get a $300 pos dell and act surprised when you can't run any games, but are more than willing to shell out 4-5-600 for a console, and $100 or more extra for memory, controllers, etc.

i find very few people playing computer games any more and even then its mostly because there games not avalible on consul.

i paid a lot more then 300 bucks for this computer lol.

minimum requirements to install just to install? well whats the point of just installing a game? you need the game to work and function properly so the minimum requirements should be set at that not what it takes to just install it.

part of the problems with pcs is there so diverse there is so many combinations of parts. where consuls are all same all 360s are the same ps3 are all same.

I've got a 4 year old PC and I have been playing Team Fortress 2, Bioshock, BF2, BF2142, and a bunch of other recent games on it.
It's an old P4 2.8ghz with 2gigs of Ram and an X1950Pro video card.

Chrome383Z · 10-10-2007, 08:42 PM

I won't play a FPS on console. Period.

Dave K · 10-10-2007, 08:45 PM

The PS3 is supposed to start supporting kb/mouse with their fps games... so they may be some competition for the PC - not in state of the art but at least in playability.

The 360 seems to think that crappy controller will be fine since most of their users have no idea that it sucks as bad as it does.

Adam isn't calling you or anybody else a dope. That's how he ends all of his posts. Search for any of his other posts, they all end that way.

Dope.
