Lightbulb Suggestion: PC Gaming Section

And I mean real PC games not MMOs. I'll cite some examples.



Dragon Age

Stalker

Siege of Avalon

Crysis

Age of Decadence

Eschalon

Fallout 1, 2, and yes.... even bethesda's 3.

Neverwinter Nights

Baldur's Gate

Half Life

The many Command and Conquer games.

The multiple Dune games.

Starcraft 1 and soon to be 2

All the PC Sim's games.

Black and White 2

etc...


Yes, I'm aware some of those games have been ported to consoles, but some console games have been ported to the PC. In either case the PC version is almost always superior in graphics, resolution and some even have extra content added. For instance Bio-ware's Jade Empire and Lionhead's Fable both had extra content added for the PC version.

As will the soon to be released GTA IV. All of the GTA games have been reworked for the PC. And for those that need to have a gamepad to play those games. The PC supports more controller designs then any console ever will. Infact a few people took the time to make the Nintendo Wii controller work on the PC.

We don't need a new section just to discuss PC or console games. Just use general for that.

And no, I don't give a shit about you and Imabovine's argument about "Console!" "No, PC!". It's idiotic.

If we actually wanted a keyboard for the XBOX it would be simple as shit to sell them with the system. I am a casual gamer and nothing beats playing a game from bed or the couch. That is the main reason I prefer a console controller over PC keyboard.

I agree PC is superior only because you can drop $300 dollars on a better video card and buy more ram but not so much on the content part. The PC is still the ultimate gaming machine but the console system has many benefits that make it a better choice for many of us.

You can think what you want about our argument. But honestly if you would allow private messages. I would have just asked you about this before hand, but you don't.

But it obviously doesn't matter now and you can go ahead and delete this thread since you don't see a point in expanding the forums.

That's because I prefer email. You know, that communication tool that's been on the internet forever? If only my email address was posted all over the site....

Don't tell me I'm unreachable just because you know I choose not to accept PMs.

I'll expand them as needed. I don't think we need a PC gaming discussion area. Do you really thin we need to spread out the MASSIVE 10 posts we have daily to 10 different forums? Don't get your feelings hurt just because I disagree with you. I don't do well with people with such thin skin.

Heh. Maybe I should have clarified more of what I was thinking. I just thought it'd be cool to have a forum filled mainly with game reviews and discussion pertaining to console games...and to be fair, yes we'd probably have to make a PC one...or how about just a "Game" forum...much like how we have one for movies.

I like being able to just go to the movies section and read about movies. Thought it'd be cool for games, as well, not having to sort through all random (off-topic) stuff that gets posted here.

The big games (mainly MMOs) would still get their own forum if enough people were playing them.

But yeah, just a suggestion, definitely didn't think this would start a big PC vs Console games debate.

Oh please, I don't need your approval to live. Ive already stated as such. Yes I suppose I could have taken the time to get your email and then send you one. But I didn't, if you had pms I would have shot you off one of those. This is me just saying hey, if were going to talk about having a Console forum then why not a PC forum. But since you've decided that your not going to then why even have this thread up. But go ahead just keep being a idiot.

Ive seen plenty of shit go on in the years Ive visited this website so the way your just responded to me is no surprise. But it doesn't mean I'm going to just sit here and let you call me a panzy like that.


Oh, and if you don't do so well with people with thin skin. Since you must think mine is transparent. Why put up with Imabovine since he was the one who exploded on me in the console forum for clarifying what I thought was bullshit concerning all the comments about how the Xbox has all these great games and the PC doesn't. I wasn't trying to insult anyone, I was just making a statement in what I believe to be a funny way. You're free to think what you want but it still doesn't mean I give a damn.

Two words come to mind for me here.

Immature prick. (On Fused88's part, not NH)

NH knows I don't have thin skin. What really gets to me is stupid people that just like to hear themselves talk.

I really don't mind having the PC/Console debate but it would have been nice NOT to have it in a suggestion thread. A seperate thread would have been much better IMO. I love a good debate and sometimes I even will take the other side even if I don't necessarily support it.

I like your posts fuse but seriously you are over steppin your shit there bub. Its like you are fresh outta high school with a fucking chip on your shoulder. You should have just asked for a pc/console sticky wouldnt that function the same thing in less space in a more popular thread? But no, you ramble on about approval to live, about how the admin desires no pms ( which coincidently is his choice ) but you can still contact him but you are too lazy, and no you arent being a panzy you are being a tool like that other guy i fought with except you are doing it with the admin of all people. Then you proceed to suggest that NH stirs the drama pot from all the shit you have seen over the years? And the xbox does get great games usually in a time frame for which I rather play 6 months early then wait for some additional content that i can just pirate instead. I can play with all my friends who can afford 299 for a xbox on gears of war 2 for the entire year it will remain exclusive before the pc.

I know NH can speak for himself but damn son is this a fight you want to pick? The difference between you and bovine is that he is not addressing the admin and in between his gripes he is commenting as to why he feels the way he does.
but you are right you are too cool for school in your batman underoos go on wit ja badself homeboi.
