Not really true at all. Much easier player communication (by virtue of keyboard), mods and a much more complex, powerful online system in most games are all things that PC has over console.
Your fucking dense dude
Try telling that to all the kids in ToysRUs last friday, all the mom's, dad's, uncles, aunts,etc jumping onto the console bandwagon lately..mostly credited to the Nintendo Wii ...i think your missing one HUGE point... your referring to the more "hardcore" gamer..not the casual gamer..the casual gamer that means everything to sales...oh wait, your banned, nm :lol
But one last thing..this is what i been trying to say in Gaf over the last few weeks and a few hostile people been pretty pissed at me for saying it..but you know, to the fanboy, sometimes the truth hurts and thats exactly why they got all charged up at me..because i simply said that its one reason why the console is just a much better gaming platform then the PC now days.. why? Ease of use, no hassle with drivers, computability issues, conflicts,etc... most casual gamers do NOT know how to tweak a pc game to run properly...im sorry but the PC platform is far far more difficult to the casual gamer then a console is...this is why the console dwarfs pc game sales...sure some company's blame piracy that may be part why but i think the bigger picture here is how difficult its become to get your average pc game to run well. Crysis was a HUGE headach..i know of 3 people that bought Crysis for the PC and constantly had to call me up for help getting it to run and only come to find out..their new dell's,HP's,etc were incapable of running the damn game or there were driver issues,etc..yeah its their fault for buying the game in the first place but come on now... this sort of thing was WIDE SPREAD! IM a pc gamer..i had a few apples, Amiga 500, C64,etc..i love pc's but now days..its just not what it use to be as far as gaming goes...in a way i regret the money i spent on my Qx9650, evga 9800 GX2, the 4gb ddr3 ram,etc..
And then we got the visuals here.. consoles can produce visuals comparable to ANYTHING out there on the pc right now..even on very high end PC's... Consoles can do those kind of visuals...this is another area where a big handful of some members in Gaf attacked me big time for saying this.... I think they should of took a peak at that Kill Zone 2 Media thread before they attacked me..that game is living proof that consoles can go head to head with any high end pc today in terms of visuals...im not suggesting consoles are more powerful overall then a High End pc.... im just saying when it comes to videogames, Consoles hold their own so why on earth would casual gamers would want to spend big bucks for a high end pc that cost over a grand when they can get a console with a price tag at 200 bucks or few a hundred more..get a console with a bluray player?
That is EXACTLY why the PC as a gaming platform is lagging way behind consoles right now... i think some hardcore pc gamers absolute HATE to read this kind of stuff im saying..they really do, they get down right violent with their replys at some message boards..hell even in here i had a few threats pm'd to me over such remarks in the past..i shit you not...:lol but you know that old saying..the F'n truth hurts some fanboys
