Since when is the press to be believed? - Peynis, on 08/28/2008, -27/+129How to save PC gaming:
1. Stop people from buying HDTVs for their living rooms
2. Stop people from buying Wiis, PS3s and X360s
3. Convince people gaming in front of your 19" desktop TFT is just as comfortable as gaming on your couch
4. Make people love Blizzard and Valve games
5. Make people upgrade their PCs (if necessary)
6. Make PC owners actually buy software instead of pirating it.
Good luck. - seldon452, on 08/27/2008, -22/+121I find this list so ***** stupid.
"Be Honest"
What the ***** is that?
burried. - Rev0lver, on 08/29/2008, -14/+87PC gaming: happily dying since 1985.
- ptsuk, on 08/28/2008, -11/+70Retarded List. Piracy? Gimme a ***** break. Here is MY list of why PC games aren't a dying breed and why this "article" is there just to drive eyeballs to boost their ad revenue:
10. Spore
9. WAR (war hammer online)
8. Wrath of the Lich King
7. The Orange Box
6. TF2
5. Portal
4. Rainbox 6 Vegas 2
3. Conflict drives controversy driving eyeballs to view a cat fight.
2. It's a games radar article = ad whore
1. It's a GAMES RADAR article = ad whore
hehe nuff said. - DFENS, on 08/28/2008, -3/+60Seconded. PC Gaming isn't dying and won't be dying anytime soon. PC Game doom-sayers need to go away.
- Ymeg, on 08/29/2008, -1/+45How to save PC Gaming in 5 easy steps:
1. Get Blizzard and Valve together.
2. Play soft music.
3. Wait a few hours.
4. ???
5. profit. - mikeyrock, on 08/29/2008, -2/+45World of Warcraft killed PC gaming. 11 million people that will never buy a game again because they keep going back to the same crack dealer every day and night.
- Saitekc, on 08/29/2008, -4/+39Buried for *****
Any half decent PC gamer knows that it isn't dying. O - chris4404, on 08/28/2008, -6/+40How is "Games for Windows" killing PC gaming?
- Br3ach, on 08/28/2008, -0/+34PC Gaming is far from dead, it does not need "saved".
Of course if you compare just PC games to the combined "console" Xbox-PS3-DS-PSP-ect numbers, it is pretty dismal. But if you split it all apart, you would get a much different picture. - damendred, on 08/29/2008, -3/+32Making people love Blizzard and Valve games won't be very hard, as everyone already do love them.
Go try TF2 on your XBOX on your huge tv, see how fun it is compared to your 19" LCD on your PC.
I'll take the PC version of any FPS/MMO over any console anyday, regardless of screen size.
Racing/fighter/adventure I've always prefered on consoles. - damendred, on 08/29/2008, -6/+32'If your a gamer don't buy a mac.'
It's not a new mantra.
If you do, don't expect to play every game you want, and
Just become an anti pc, Mac fan boy on Digg. - kidwithsword, on 08/29/2008, -6/+31I say ***** this ***** article. It is written by a woman, you know.
- NiGHTSChao, on 08/29/2008, -0/+24Since when does PC Gaming need saving?
Its perfectly fine, it has been for years - exeprime, on 08/28/2008, -20/+447. Own a console and be a total ***** about it.
Which is something console owners are very good at.
That alone will keep lots of people from joining the ranks of console owners, who the hell would want to be part of such a community? - Vindicoth, on 08/28/2008, -1/+25PC Gaming is dying? Someone better tell Reuters that the PC Gaming Alliance report was wrong about it being a 10.7 billion dollar industry laster year.
http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS13 ... - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+21Starcraft 2.
- JiiJii, on 08/29/2008, -1/+20valve, blizzard
- AzzX, on 08/29/2008, -2/+20One word: Steam.
A bigger platform than the 360 and PS3.
PC doesn't need saving its the gaming market in general that needs saving from being overwhelmed by casual games. - Shadic, on 08/29/2008, -8/+25"7. Own a console and be a total ***** about it."
Kind of like the people that rant about how much better PC gaming is? - dsmx, on 08/29/2008, -1/+17The only thing killing PC gaming is the idiots publishing games who think stopping piracy will boost sales by using methods that make the pirated version better than the legitimate copy in every way.
- 1gunners4, on 08/29/2008, -0/+151a. StarCraft II will be out within the year, most likely.
1b. Diablo III will be out a year or two after that.
Say what you will in the PC vs. Console gaming "war," no console game has ever had an entire country adopt it as their national past-time like South Korea has with StarCraft. - Exodin, on 08/29/2008, -2/+17PC Gaming is cheaper than ever, why believe the press?
- SOS84, on 08/29/2008, -0/+15PC gaming is dying? Since when? Oh wait, it isn't.
- SHUUTOBI, on 08/29/2008, -1/+15One reason we PC gamers don't buy as many games is because we have GAMES that have replay value that far exceeds the lifespan of a CONSOLE...
- Borgcube636, on 08/29/2008, -1/+15The problem is the growing emergence of console games. Consoles require that games be dumbed down to a level of complexity that any 7 year old kid could easily play and figure out, and most importantly, win.
Remember back in the 90's /early 2000's, when PC games were actually complex and required you think? Ah, how I miss those days.... who knows if we'll see them again, now that many games are being ported to the PC from the dumbed down consoles and/or made for all platforms but purposely dumbed down so they can run on consoles. - kinseyincanada, on 08/29/2008, -4/+16yes because we all know the PC gaming race is all sunshine and buttercups and not at all elitist *****.
- shaherazad, on 08/29/2008, -1/+12She means don't be a pirate, dude.
- dsmx, on 08/29/2008, -0/+11Don't know where they're getting that $500 dollars a year from, once you've built/got yourself a half decent PC you don't need to change anything for about 2-4 years unless you want extra storage.
- Alcorr, on 08/29/2008, -2/+13I sit in a VERY comftorable chair gaming on my 24 inch monitor 1900 x 1200, crysis, tf2, css, CoH, etc. etc. all look BETTER than equivalent console versions not only because my comp has more graphical power than either of the 3, but also because my monitor is so much nicer than the (fps locked, lower res) "high def" tvs that people console game on.
Comftorable yes. HDTV, yes. Love blizzard and valve, easy, yes. Upgrade PCs, not THAT expensive. Buying rather than pirating? Say hello to steam... - sk11, on 08/28/2008, -0/+11IMHO, FPS/RTS/TBS games, which are incredibly popular, are experienced far better on a pc than on consoles. Can't imagine how starcraft 2 would play using a joypad, but it won't be fun finding out. Some games just beg for a keyboard+mouse interface.
Looking forward to starcraft 2, diablo 3, fallout 3, spore, hl2:ep 3, alan wake and they say pc gaming is dying, pfft. - i4ybrid, on 08/28/2008, -2/+12I agree and disagree. There are good games for the PC. There's StarCraft, WoW, Warcraft, Half Life, Counter Strike just to name a few. (AKA Blizzard & Valve games)
The only reason why PC Gaming is "dying" is because EA is saying it is. - speakafreaka, on 08/29/2008, -0/+10Wow. Your whole post is a jumble of buzzwords and vagueness it almosts tastes like it was generated
- Dracusis, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9Blizzard don't seem to believe them.
- rbross2005, on 08/29/2008, -4/+13I've never once been able to play a pirated game online, and online competition is the only reason I play. If I blindly paid for every ***** game that IGN and Gamespot hypes up before giving it a ***** review I'd be one sorry dumbass who helped fund ***** game developers. What a ***** article. Buried in *****.
- sirbeta, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9While I agree it's not quite like it used to be, "Loads of games"? Not even close.
- mikeyrock, on 08/29/2008, -1/+10I felt that bootcamp mostly fixed this problem
- colosis, on 08/29/2008, -2/+10as long as WOW still exists, PC gaming wont die
- JayRD, on 08/29/2008, -1/+9With Valve and Blizzard together, you'd have to wait years.
- speakafreaka, on 08/29/2008, -0/+8Johan Marcus Guy,
I apologise that everyone is not like you when it comes to preference for leisure activity.
Signed,
The rest of the world - Exodin, on 08/29/2008, -2/+10That's it, don't include hidden console fees that make the price substantially more expensive than $400. Way to be honest!
- heavystone, on 08/28/2008, -11/+19"Saving" PC gaming is not up to us. How about they actually make a good game instead of glorified graphics and physics?
You know...something fun? - cyrix, on 08/29/2008, -0/+8Ah an internet troll appears.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7ID Software, Atari, BioWare, CrySoft, EA, Microsoft, Obsidian, Eidos, Ubi Soft, Westwood, NC Soft, Sierra, Flagship, Epic...
- BalooUrsidae, on 08/28/2008, -5/+12Exactly. Create something portable. id does. Atari does.
- fxu1989, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7"I hate to sound biased but when the liberals try to force their version of reality onto me....."
What the ***** does this have to do with politics? - DesolataX, on 08/29/2008, -1/+8I own a Macbook Pro and I still play "Games for Windows" such as Supreme Commander and even Crysis. The 8600M is a decent enough GPU to play them on a decent setting.
- DeFex, on 08/29/2008, -2/+9PC games dying is just crap made up to get you in the console scam.
- dalittle, on 08/29/2008, -1/+8I know a great way to shut up this stupid argument that they keep trying to make believe is true. Just let the PC and console games use the same server for multiplayer games. After 100000 to 1 kills in favor of the PC on games like Halo and Quake and they would never bring this up again.
