Just some dood
Okay, since this topic is all the rage these days I decided to create a thread so just everyone can speak their minds when it comes to this.
I would just like to ask people to behave and have interesting discussion and not mindless namecalling.
I'll kick it off myself:
I'm on both ends of the spectrum tbh, since I own a PC, 360 and PS3. I've had some good moments with my consoles but I have to admit I'm finally going back to the PC (even though I still game on my consoles, but mostly local mp games with buds). What drew me back to the PC (besides Steam that is), is the fact that the more console games I play, the more I feel that the games are overly scripted and dumbed down. Another thing that brought me back to the PC was the indie scene and the really good games that are being developed for PC: Terraria, Minecraft, Jamestown, Beat Hazard are all games that while not PC-exclusive are games I came in contact with on that platform. Also, modding is a big part in any game because not only does it extend the lifespan of a game, but it can add to it in a big way, and I'm a real fan of modding: NWN, Half-Life, Civ IV and more recently, Oblivion. This is also something I cannot get on consoles.
Doesn't mean consoles are bad though. They also have good points like being cheaper, since they are 5-6y old hardware that performs solidly most of the time with games and have awesome exclusive IPs. Also controllers are a plus, but you can do that on the PC aswell.
Discuss on fools!
