I wasn't trolling, I was speaking truth. This console gen is underwhelming.

I'm straight, George Bush is capable of counting past 10 without taking off his shoes, and Superman 64 is the best !@#$% game ever.

Yes but there are many games that were NOT as good on the PC.

~Resident Evil 4
~MGS Series(IMO)
~any sports games(if you like sports games as I do)
~jRPGs(uh Phantasy Universe? bleh)


Plus, PC gaming is hampered in that you have to try to make the games playable on a slew of different hardwares.

Meh, it doesn't really bother me anyhow.  I'm going to buy what I want to buy and !@#$% on what I want to !@#$% on.

Resident Evil 4 on PC was awesome as !@#$% (after the patch of course).
MGS1 I believe was the only one on PC and it was good >_>
Who plays sports games?
Grandia 2. That is all.

Hmm...people stand in line(and camp out) for the new Maddens all the time.
Tons of people play sports games.
When I boot up NHL 09 on XBOX Live, thousands of people are playing it.

Just because ZFGC may not have many sprots game people does not mean the rest of the world is the same way.

PS I also like other genres more than sports BTW.

Holy !@#$% agreed.  Grandia 2 ftw.  Btw MGS2 is also on PC.

Meh, consoles are just kinda gimped PC's... but they aren't remotely doomed.  They're still a lot cheaper, which matters right now.

360 Price < 1000+ dollar PC to run most of those games decently let alone 1080p

Valve and WoW are basically the only reason to play anything on the PC.  Everything else is either mediocre, on a console with the only difference being a controller, or takes way too expensive a PC to bother.

You don't use a PC just for gaming.  I already bought a PC for personal use, and it cost me $150 more just to make it decent for playing games.  That's cheaper than any current gen system.

Gaming itself will slump, everyone is prepping for economic woes.

Sony is doomed, they were doomed before the PS3 release, they're weak.. very weak as an organization. I think I was highly touted for saying that back in the GA/DSR days when we discussed next gen seriously.

Microsoft is doing okay, they'll most likely pull through everything just fine. Just because of the size of the company and the dependence everyone has on it.. I'm currently waiting for my 360 to arrive in the mail, the thing about console gaming versus PC gaming is I can very easily play with others, physically sitting in my room, that's the 'plus' to it.

Nintendo was.. pretty smart, a cheap and loving console, it's allowed them to be one of the top ten companies in Japan (Ironically knocking out Sony). The wii is entertaining, but definately not a hard-core console (yet). I really, more than anything, bought it for the Shop Channel.

PC's cost a lot, co-op (unless you're playing from far away with somone) doesn't have that same feeling. The games require you to constantly advance your hardware... which is also costy. It's really just not economical.

I agree 300%.

Sorry, but when the 360 came out it was pretty impressive. Obviously PC's will start getting better during the middle of a consoles life. I don't quite see how it's PC gaming with downs, not everyone can afford a powerful machine. You for one have experienced this first hand, and so have I.

I prefer console gaming, imo.

Console gaming will never die because consoles are inherently easier to play games on than PCs. Period.

Not always true. FPS games like Half-Life 2 are better on the PC than on a console.
Only console system that could probably handle an FPS close to as good as a PC, is the Wii.

You see, for games like that.. it relies on a camera controlled by a mouse (cursor) just like the Wii with the remote.

Anyway, the keyboard and mouse may not be the most comfortable setup at times, but it allows for a ton more options and playability at times.

o.0??? I loved HL2 on the 360.
