Why do you guys bother with PC gaming?

Anyway, obviously that's ridiculous, you can always just plug in a wired 360 controller and it'll be just like you're playing on a console.

Doesn't have to be wired. I use a wireless 360 controller.

I like PC gaming couse some games you can't find on console . I m a big Total war fan. And there so much more to do then just gaming on a PC !

similar reason why i got a PS3. For the games that can't be found on PC, like Uncharted series.

Interesting read.

The answer is sim­ply that sales num­bers listed in places like VGchartz do NOT include dig­i­tal sales num­bers. This is because dis­trib­u­tors like Steam, GOG, Impulse and Ori­gin rarely if ever release their sales num­bers on their dig­i­tal sales. The num­bers you see in places like VGChartz are only retail sales or sales made at a Store like Best Buy, Gamestop, Wal­mart, etc. These do NOT include Steam, Ori­gin, etc.

Well, you know what he means. Wired or wireless, if you're used to playing with a controller you can just plug the 360 controller in and in quite a few cases it's like playing on a console.

Imho,

Personally been hearing doom-and-gloom about the PC arena for over a decade; it gets old. The PC arena is evolving and adapting based on its largest strength; it's flexibility.

It's not really surprising that the PC arena may eventually over-take console revenue. However, considering most titles are multi-platform, it may be tough for developers to have their major focus on just the PC and why pro-active and aggressive developer relations may be important to the IHV's; to showcase their innovation and create awareness for their brands and for the PC platform as a whole.

Pc gaming may not be for everyone but it surly has many strengths. The largest jump in gaming may be in mobile device gaming and think it is great to see all these potential platforms to generate revenue for developers and bring more choice to consumers. It would be wonderful to see more seamless abilities between platforms, too -- PC playing against console -- playing against mobile device -- at the same time.

Some like to separate console from PC, from mobile devices, but to me, gamers are really gamers - just with different tastes and tolerances.

I don't understand what you mean. If he's a spammer, I exposed him so how does that make me look silly...? If he's not a spammer but simply messed up the links, I let him know that.

whats not to understand? I am just picking on you because it was an obvious spam yet you still replied to him saying his link had nothing to do with the thread. they have been using that spamming method for a while now.

I still don't understand how that makes me look silly, for the reasons I already stated. Also, I can't know where it links to before I click on it, it could've well be a valid thread. Far from "obvious spam".

You're just picking on me for no reason.

you have to be kidding now. once you clicked the link you should have known it was spam. instead you could not figure out he was an obvious spammer and replied to him like he was a normal member. that was the part I thought was funny. you obviously still do not get it though.

You obviously did not read my first reply to you

Please do not feed the troll.

I'm surprised a mod didn't lock this thread after the first post.

Please do not feed the troll.

It's a little late for that, don't you think? xD

i plug my 360 controller into my pc.

my pc that has a gtx560, 8 gigs of ram, i5-2500k

your statement is so wrong in so many ways.

1. just because your using a controller doesn't mean it's not a pc.
2. framerate
3. resolution
4. antialiasing
5. antistropic filtering
6. higher quality detail, texture, and effects

Why must we PC gamers always have to describe this to the consolites... Its like they're purposely ignorant or something.

One more thing. The Steering Wheel is a controller used in car games like Grid, NFS, F1 and Dirt. So your saying attaching a steering wheel to your computer makes it play like a console game?
