[QUOTE=MagicBurrito;22696612]lol note how I said I like some exclusive games.. It's pretty easy to move a TV, but I suppose you live alone with your mother so she can't help you A computer is extremely easy to move. Here, let me help.. Step 1. Disconnect monitor/mouse/whatever. Step 2. Take case into desired room. Step 3. Take accessories into desired room. Step 4. Hook it up OH WAIT lol you could buy a 4 year old generic hardware machine for $300 instead of doing all that Oh you and your intelligence! :buddy:[/QUOTE] What If I could move a TV by myself it's too small and not worth moving. I could do four steps or I could do two for the same experience. You are still an idiot. Infact you are probably 14 like I said I'm not going to take sides, But I don't like you.
[QUOTE=_Junkie_;22695812]Hey, thanks for not reading the thread.[/QUOTE] I did. It's the generic "wah wah consoles killed my family and raped my dog" thread that we get every month. You bitch about consoles ruining games and how PC games are so amazing. I've seen it all dozens of times.
[QUOTE=DarkendSky;22696656]I can't counter act 1. That has to be solved by the shitty publishers thinking they will make more money this way. (I have noticed that a lot of studios/publishers tend to loose money on exclusives, as it is). For 2, he didn't say use a controller on your shitty small monitor. He said hook your TV up to computer, and then play on your couch. I don't understand how you didn't catch that. And for 3, there are plenty of motion control games and controllers out for PC. The reason why they aren't any fun is because motion controls are a shitty gimmick.[/QUOTE] for 2, i realized i misread what he said shortly after. read all of my other posts in the thread though, it adresses why his solution isn't very practical. for 3, name one motion controlled game for the pc. i'm not talking about people modding the wii remote to work on the pc, but one genuine motion-controlled game on the pc. whether motion control is a gimmick or not is irrelevant, i enjoy this so-called "gimmick".
[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;22696633]Unless I can play 3D Dot Game Heroes, God of War 3, Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, LittleBigPlanet 2, Resistance, Metal Gear Solid, PixelJunk, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Twisted Metal, and White Knight Chronicles on PC, I have every fucking right to own a PS3. If there were no exclusives, you'd be 100% correct, but you aren't. Sure, some people use bad excuses to get consoles. But I get them to expand my video game library so I can HAVE FUN like I am supposed to.[/QUOTE] well played sir:golfclap:
[QUOTE=Owner3;22696541]or i could simply plug in a console to my tv? no need for all these impractical solutions.[/QUOTE] That's just you being lazy :)
How much could i get a good pc for. Mine is severely outdated. I don't know how to build.
[QUOTE=kwkws;22696739]How much could i get a good pc for. Mine is severely outdated. I don't know how to build.[/QUOTE] I'd say roughly $1000, depends how far you want to go.

[QUOTE=OutOfExile;22696760]I'd say roughly $1000, depends how far you want to go.[/QUOTE] No need to go so high. If you're looking to build a computer that can run a game with high to max settings on most games, a $600-$700 price range is fine. I'd also like the stress the fact again that it is not only a video game system, but a computer. And most people just go out and buy a $500 shitty Dell with an integrated graphics card at Best Buy.
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;22696664]Right but there never was as much retarded competition as there is now, and gaming wasn't always as big. And here's the big thing: technology wasn't advancing as fast as it is today. My point was that they're playing it safe and going with boring shit that's been done multiple times in the recent past inorder to make some quick cash. This doesn't promote growth or change in the gaming industry and what it [U][B][I]could [/I][/B][/U](small chance, but a chance none the less) boil down to is every game being made is a close clone of another game with little to no innovation at all. The same thing happens on the PC too I guess, but only really with MMOs (everything is pretty much a WoW clone)[/QUOTE] there was plenty of competition, are you kidding me? guess you weren't around when it was nintendo vs. sega. and, please, technology wasn't advancing quickly back then? it sure as hell was. look how quickly we transitioned from sprite based games to full-on 3d. you're still generalizing though. can you look past fps games? see games like demons' souls or monster hunter 3.
[QUOTE=OutOfExile;22696760]I'd say roughly $1000, depends how far you want to go.[/QUOTE] I'd better start saving up then.

Ever since Valve announced Portal 2 on PS3, you guys have flipped every shit on the farm.
[QUOTE=Owner3;22696541]or i could simply plug in a console to my tv? no need for all these impractical solutions.[/QUOTE] You do realize that is the same exact process for plugging in your EcksBawks right?
[QUOTE=kirderf;22696722]That's just you being lazy :)[/QUOTE] shouldn't have to go out of my way to play a game [editline]03:43AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Ninja_Blue;22696803]You do realize that is the same exact process for plugging in your EcksBawks right?[/QUOTE] well yeah, if you ignore the part of me having to unplug the pc, bring it downstairs, and plug everything back in again, just to get the leisure of playing games on the couch and on a tv.
[QUOTE=Owner3;22696781]there was plenty of competition, are you kidding me? guess you weren't around when it was nintendo vs. sega. and, please, technology wasn't advancing quickly back then? it sure as hell was. look how quickly we transitioned from sprite based games to full-on 3d. you're still generalizing though. can you look past fps games? see games like demons' souls or monster hunter 3.[/QUOTE] If you want to look at othergenres than FPS, consoles don't even stand a chance.
[QUOTE=Owner3;22696804]shouldn't have to go out of my way to play a game [editline]03:43AM[/editline] well yeah, if you ignore the part of me having to unplug the pc, bring it downstairs, and plug everything back in again, just to get the leisure of playing games on the couch and on a tv.[/QUOTE] I shouldn't have to go out of my way to prepare food to eat it.
[QUOTE=_Junkie_;22696762]You're either lying or the shit I say just sort of just exits your brain nanoseconds after it enters it. Either way you're still being an arrogant prick.[/QUOTE] How am I lying and how am I being an arrogant prick? You're the one who basically said anyone who owns a console is stupid and there's no reason to own a console. And by the way Crysis is from 2008.
I would rather carry around a console than carry around a pc tbh + all the wires I just don't think it's worth it since eventually I'll just move it back.

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;22696841]I would rather carry around a console than carry around a pc tbh + all the wires I just don't think it's worth it since eventually I'll just move it back.[/QUOTE] Why would you carry either? Even then, plenty of people carry both to LAN parties
while I agree, I dont like how you blame console gamers for this. If they want to play consoles let them, persuade them to play on a pc even, but dont tell them to
