Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Console gamers and PC gamers are different target groups, with different priorities. And then there are the technical differences between the platforms.
Currently, multi-platform games tend to work best on the "target platform", for which it was developed, and not so well on the platforms it was ported to. Rarely does a developer go the extra miles to achieve a "perfect" port, that takes advantage of the strengths of the different p...
Haha, you're gullible. Maybe she does make 900$ a day, but I'm sure it's a different "game" she's playing.
The only reasons for switching are:
- support for more than 4GB of RAM
- support for DX10/11
I've never heard pc gamers use the term "master race" to describe themselves. There might be a few neo-nazis doing so, but other people tend to stay away from this expression, because "master race" has this unpleasant aftertaste.
Did you even read the article? They can't play solo.
You probably had a weak password, someone guessed it, logged in and played your games, then got banned.
Nethack is the most replayable game. Civilization isn't bad as well.
Uh-huh, and you don't see a difference between copying and taking? Maybe you should look at the picture again, and this time, try to understand the concept that it tries to display.
Additionally, please explain why the two crimes are not treated equally by the law.
So? Your argument is that businesses would rather choose to die than switch to alternatives with marginal market shares?
I would argue that there is only one thing that PC can't do better than consoles: split-screen action. Otherwise, PC is better all around. Remember, PCs work with gamepads, too.
If Microsoft went under, businesses would just switch to alternatives. Sure, it would cost them a lot, and maybe even kill some, but in the long run, the world would be a better place.
You obviously have no idea how games and computers work. Sadly, this doesn't hinder you from posting complete bullshit.
If you don't believe me, you can do the test. Buy a slow laptop-harddrive, install Windows and Crysis and check your FPS. Then buy an ultra-fast WD Raptor or even a solid state disk and put it in the same system. Install Windows and Crysis and check your FPS. They will be exactly the same. Why? Because Crysis, like many other games, only accesses the hard drive ...
@ those still claiming piracy is theft: have you even looked at the picture? I've never met anyone that still didn't get it after having looked at the picture.
@ AssassinHD: "If you don't agree with me, you must be one of them", is it like that? You are just an ignorant ranter. Even in courts, piracy is not treated like theft, you know why? BECAUSE IT ISN'T THEFT. In theft, you steal something, which means the original owner no longer possesses it. If you download somet...
All gamepads are ill suited for shooters. Why argue over which flavor of mud tastes best?
@AssassinHD: You can call piracy theft. Noone can stop you. But you are wrong in doing so. Maybe this picture helps: http://questioncopyright.or...
@ AuToFiRe: The harddrive rarely matters in games. In most games, shorter level load times is all you get from a faster hard drive.
Yeah, they should have built him a more interesting level. Maybe with some jumppads ;).
@flash74: This PC is prebuilt, less than 1000 dollars and roughly 5 times faster than all the current gen consoles combined: http://www.newegg.com/Produ...
@maawdawg: Downloading an illegal copy is NOT the same as stealing a game from Walmart. It is still wrong, of course, but in the first case, an illegal copy was made, and in the second case, an article was stolen from a warehouse.
@AmbientFlier:
- stealing a car: owner no longer owns the car, you do
- pirating software: owner still owns the software, so do you
Pirating is not stealing. It's still wrong, but it's not the same thing.
