"Don't start that "kb/m >>>>> controller" BS son."
Lol that aint BS, infact the very reason Microsoft ditched crossplay between PC and Console is because control pad users would get slaughtered. Hence no matter how good you get with a controller it will always be limiting you.
Lol if AMD & Nvidia out of business due to PC gamers not needing upgrades, i wonder what the next gen consoles would use.
except they dont know what the hardware will be 3-4yrs before the console launches.
All of us know Microsoft is a business. Why would they want to give people internet access?
They want people to buy Windows. If people could access internet via the Xbox, that might compromise some of their Windows sales. Dont think Microsoft would ever want any of that.
Lol think Microsoft learned their lesson by entering the console market, they are yet to turn up a profit. Infact they are still in billions of USD worth of losses after being in the market for a decade.
Why would they want to enter another loss making venture?
Its obvious every dev is doing this now. People brought it upon themselves.
Pointing it at the hardware wont help. While not supporting DLCs may help.
First they start charging 60usd for a game for consoles this gen, some of that crap has even spilled over to the PC. If that wasnt enough they put up this crap about announcing dlcs before the game is out. Milk all the way.
Question is will it blow up? Sony warned against such devices.
Its an awesome game, Last i saw about 70,000 people playing it on steam alone at one time. I guess it must have sold very well.
Starcraft 2
Civilization 5
Dragon age awakening (console version is not the same experience)
Metro 2033 (Console far inferior)
Mass effect 2 (see above :P)
Mafia 2 (again console version far inferior)
Stalker call of the pripyat
Bad company 2
arma 2 operation arrow head

Gonna edit that lol
Its cool such garbage gets filtered out on the PC by default. Failcom knows they cant milk the PC gamer with such rehashes.
Selling this for 59usd lol.
@below
I think it would be a minority who would be asking for this rehash.
@pedobear
lol even if we consider 150usd, lets not forget for most games hard drive is needed.
add in that 100usd. the console is already at 250usd now. Now add in the fact you need to pay to go online. Add in 5 years of live. thats another 250usd. now the console is 500usd. Now add in every game bought is more costly.
Lastly if you consider the after market on console, then dont forget the discounts on DD such as steam. Those are reall...
Dam 20 usd price difference over one game is insane plus the fact game is superior on PC, great to be a PC gamer.
Lets not forget console gamers after paying so much for their games, have no gaurantee all these games will work on the next console. PC players pay less and more less are gauranteed these games will work for a good while to come.
@below
So what is it you are typing this post on? Anyone having a dual core PC from 4years bac...
Console 299..
you forgot to add in extra paid per game. not to mention almost everyone has a PC, all it costs to beat the console experience is a 100usd gpu max.

Dunno about you but the game i enjoyed the most last year was Dragon age. The same game on console was of no comparison, due to low fps on the PS3 and low res textures on the 360 version. along with the control scheme which was botched on the consoles.
Dragon age was about the most complex game released last year. God of war 3 at best is a mind less hack and slash perfect for the 10-14yr olds.
Xbox version of metro is 540p from what i recall, and low res textures. You could make those settings on PC or slightly higher if you dont want to upgrade.
@Raikiri
All of my friends game on PC. in fact i dont even own a console. Few of my friends that did own a console only did so for the few exclusives.
Valve will always keep the PC version free, because it promotes their steam platform.
Bought L4d2 on steam after months from release at 23 usd lol. Dlcs free for that cost is awesome.
Wonder why anyone even buys this on the Xbox, 59usd then charges to go online, then charges for DLC rediculous. Not to mention no mods, valve games are nothing without mods and updates.
agreed, though million would equal to 50%. DD is now estimated to be atleast 80%. In which case i would think its a far better deal then what consoles can do, specially with all those savings for the publisher.
3 monitors give you a superwide view. Its called eyefinity. Its awesome. Much better then latest fad like 3D or all the motion control shovelware.
@letros
dude thats an awesome link. I been playing around with team fortress 2 and l4d2 with some HUD mods those games look awesome.
@MorganX
Sorry but you could easily get a 400-500usd worth machines that would wipe the floor with consoles.

Theres a 400usd system. Every game bought on console is more expensive, that puts cost in favor of the PC.
