Does Anyone Here Even Care About PC?

[Avenger]

its crazy, for as long as i've been here i dont think ive ever heard anyone talk about PC games...i for one dont really care for PC Gaming that much, with the whole compatability issue, having to upgrade and what not, it just doesnt seem worth it to me...but what is everyone elses opinion?

[Atarileaf]

I agree. I'm not a modern gamer but if there were a game or two that I'd like to get, I'd just as soon get an Xbox as opposed to spending a couple hundred (or more) on video cards every year, upgrading. And yes, compatibility is a huge pain in the behind.

Lets face it, gaming is 99% of the reason people upgrade. Who needs a P4 with the latest video card to send email or browse the internet?

Well, ever since I got my Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop...I've been a PC game junkie. I plan to upgrade when necessary and start making all my "MUST PLAY" purchases on the PC.

Why? Well...I can play em at work! that's why!

But when I'm at home, it's console all the way baby.

I like PC games, but only tend to play older ones so I don't have to worry about needing the latest hardware. There are a lot of good games that can be played on low end PCs, mainly RPG's and RTS games, I'd say FPS', but most of the major ones have made jumps to the home consoles anyway. And if you're into the Sims, the only way to play it is on a PC cause you have all of the sweet expansion packs available.

Gave up completely on PC gaming about 2 or 3 years ago (excepting for emulators, natch). I work profesionally as a PC tech and when I come home from work I want to spend that time playing games. The last thing I want to do after working with computers all day is start screwing with dll's, patches, DirectX updates or fretting over whether my 3-month old video card will be up to task for Doom3.

No game is worth all that effort. None.

I have a nice amount of systems out there and I like to keep a few of them pretty current. Of course, PC games don't seem to be quite as collectable.

[chaoticjelly]

I love PC gaming especially FPS

But I hate upgrading

For a student its very expensive!

Yeah, PC games aren't collectable, and I don't plan on collecting for it. Although I've got a problem, I can't seem to pull myself to get rid of the ones I have already finished! I just let them rot in the closet...I guess I need to weed em out though. Maybe I will be able to afford that Twilight Zone Season 1 set that just came out.

Anyone wanna buy some PC games?

[AB Positive]

my pc gaming is almost exclusively "Myst clones" or hunt'n'peck adventure games. Look for a new Time To Kill article featuring these!



otherwise no, I'm a console man

I use too be big on PC gaming. Especially FPS. I played Delta force 1 faithfully for 2 and a half years. After playing Socom 2 us navy seals on the PS2 online, I gave up playing those type of games on the PC. Dont have to worry about patches and all that other nonsense anymore.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

I'm a big PC gamer. W00t.

[SoulBlazer]

Same here. I spend more time PC gaming then console gaming.

You don't NEED a cutting edge system for a lot of games.

And some are collectable, but the main attractions of PC games are better ideas, cheaper prices, free online play (in most cases), and some genre's are better done in PC forms, like FPS.

That depends on what you have. Some titles are INSANELY collectable.

As always, that depends on what you have. Post an Interest Check in the B&S forum sometime (when I have money, that is!)

Well, what I have is mostly newer stuff, but I posted a few games I'm selling over in the B&S forums already. Nothing too interesting (PoP: SoT, TMNT, MoH, etc)

[ECWSandmanECW]

Starting to get into it, now I have a computer that can atleast run games

[NintendoMan]

I don't like PC gaming one bit. I also agree on the games not being collectable.
Alot of the PC games are beautiful, but have always just been a console video game man.

[Necrosaro420]

I PC game more than any console that I own. But its mix and match for me. Like FPS's I cant stand playing on a console, to me they are horrible, but on PC thats what I play most of. Its just certain types of genre that I like for each

[tholly]

PC games used to be all I played, but i lost interest in them and it became very expensive to keep up with the new, powerful hardware that came out every 6 months....so i got out of PC gaming and now pretty much only deal with console and arcade gaming

[Chunky]

Spider solitare rocks!

[LazingBlazers]

PC gaming is pretty cool. Now that I just bought my super budget, super computer I'm going to get back into it again. Hey, PCs emulate all of the old stuff perfectly (at least in my experiences) so unless you like having all the old stuff or just love using the original equipment... they are absolutely the way to go.

I just bought this eMachines computer (model T3092) from Circuit City for $650. There's also $50 mail in rebate, and if you use a Circuit City credit card, there's 0% financing for one year. Basically what I'm getting at is that I got a computer that has a lot of goodies, with a decent processor, decent ram, I bought a decent monitor (Samsung 793MB), I will buy some more ram, and I will buy a decent graphics card (5900XT)... then I'll have spent less than a grand for some good shit that will let me do everything I want on a computer for a while. I've only had the thing for 2 days, so I can't speak for longevity, but the initial quality of the machine is very good. If anybody's in the market for a basic PC that's upgradable without getting radical, the magazines and user reviews don't lie.
