in the past i wanted to upgrade my PC because of Witcher 2 and Crysis 2 but since when all good PC games goes multiplatform there is no need to upgrade my computer

hope they will announce first Crysis and STALKER 2 for PS3 or Xbox

There are still plenty of great reasons to have a gaming PC.

Games like Starcraft 2, Civ 5, Guild Wars 2, Total war: Shogun 2, Mount & Blade, Dawn of War 2, etc won't be coming to consoles any time soon

Then there are the games like Diablo 3, Planetside 2 etc that even if they do come to consoles won't play nearly as well

Then you have great features like Mods, a wide variety of control options, dedicated servers, robust digital distribution for all games and if you are willing to invest the money vastly better graphics.

And more importantly the ability to customise settings for the experience you want in games if you want to play games at 60 fps just drop the graphics down or buy a new graphics card, hate jaggies sacrifice some performance for AA, don't like motion blur turn it off.

Lol try Team fortress 2 for free, its the most fun you can have online and it will run on any 4-5 year old PC.

BeastlyRig5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

All? not really.. There is reason to get Stalker on PC like Bf3!

& try playing Arma3, Dota 2, Shogun 2, Red Orchestra 2, Hard Reset, An unlimited version of minecraft, Diablo 3, Planetside 2 made by Sony, Star Wars, Trackmainia 2, Neverwinter, Frozen Synapse, Amnesia, Tribes 2, Primal Carnage, Tactical Intervention, End of Nations, E.Y.E. Plus all the mods and cheaper games & dedicated servers & higher player counts we tend to get in shooters on ps3..

Now if you like 3rd person adventures than that maybe the 1 reason to have a console..

iNMyFiN4LH0uR5461d ago

that 1 reason happens to have the most successful and best series including Uncharted, Gears, MGS, Zelda, God of War, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil etc.

Ranshak5461d ago

Lol adding up all console platforms against 1 pc doesnt sound fair.

BTW you can cross out the nintendo games on that list, those run better on PC via dolphin in 1080p. Resident evil is present on PC. In fact due to emulation PC has the biggest library of Resident evil out there starting all the way from RE1 to present time.

God of war 1,2 run in 1080p on PC via emulation ;-) so you can get a taste of that franchise on PC.

Gears 1 is present on the PC. too bad the game is so overhyped on xbox gamers care about it because its exclusive, PC version which is superior didnt impress the PC gamers at all.

Rivitur5461d ago

Crysis is in production to be coming to consoles in the near future and agreed try TF2...

NicSage5461d ago

PC is great for MMO's and RTS.

Ranshak5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

Its great for FPS too, games like TF2, L4D2 own. In fact PC also has the best RPG experience too. Aside the japanese rpgs which have gone crap this gen.

Some of the best rpgs on PC include:

Witcher,
Witcher 2
Dragon age origins (no comparison between pc and console version as pc has mods and all around better game)
Risen

Just stick to nvidia for drivers that just work. I see consoles as pointless when nearly every game is on pc.

iamgoatman5461d ago

Nothing wrong with AMD drivers at the moment, even though they release a LOT of them they are much better than they used to be, easily on par with Nvidia's current stuff. Plus I'd rather a lot of new drivers more frequently and just pick and choose which to use than have to wait for them.

They also don't try and melt your graphics card! Couldn't help myself, although saying that I've had ATI drivers in the past try and do the same thing. Neither are perfect.

kevnb5461d ago

amd drivers are better than before, but still messed up. They can be fine for months then suddenly cause blue screens. Opengl keeps getting completely broken. when using tv out through hdmi they give huge ovesrcan that seems to reset itself when it glitches out. Many games have performance issues that just never get fixed, especially games that arent as popular. 2d performance isnt what it should be on newer cards. And just several weird bugs that get fixed one month only for another weird bug to pop up. Heck problems they fix come back a few driver releases later many times.

dirthurts5461d ago

All drivers have problems. There are too many variables to make a driver set that works perfectly at all times.
AMD and Nvidia both do admirable jobs with their drivers. They work harder than any other software team out there.

STIKUP ARTIST5461d ago

I have been thinking about getting into PC gaming since every one here says its fairly cheap to get in to. I will still buy the new xbox and PS4 so I wont miss out any games though.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio61d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing61d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9261d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit61d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing61d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9260d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
