Crazy_dog no.3 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 And what can u do on a console that u can't on a PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 1. You don't have to worry about upgrading your console. 2. You don't have to worry about something on your system being incompatable therefor rendering your new game useless. 2. You get some of the best exclusive titles that have ever existed. "Zelda, FF, Mario, Sonic, Metroid, etc...." 3. To an extent, you can have better graphics on consoles. And no, PC gaming is not dying! P.S. Your poll choices don't match up very well with the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 what can i do on a console that i can't on pc... Turn up the volume with a remote. You can record yourself playing a game with a vcr.. Consoles are easily portable You don't need to have more than 1 console for another person to play a game with you. You can rent games for the console. You can reset the game in the console. That's all i can think of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 But guys, if like me you prefer strategy games and true adventure games (Baldurs Gate, Planescape etc are superior to Zelda and FF IMO), then the PC is the best choice. The last console I owned was a SNES, I dont really see the need to waste my cash on a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Why should PC games be dying? I think they are more played as before. Almost everyone has a pc ... X-box is a portable pc ... I think that one is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 PC Gaming will never die and here's why: PC's are almost, if not absolutely, essential to the 21st Century family household. E-mail, online shopping, budgeting and accounting, school work and reports all done extensively on PCs and are part of everyday life. If that's not enough of a reason here's the pros of PC gaming: 1. Games are extremely more mod-able and custimizable on a PC 2. Online gaming (though this one is not exclusive to PCs anymore) 3. If your family has purchased a PC for school, then you already have your "console" you don't have to pitch out another $200 dollars on a game console. So why would Software Developers (of the Game persuasion) turn their backs on such a large viable market? Put simply, they wouldn't! Rest easy, PC gaming isn't dying, just think of the game console as the PC's cousin who's coming into it's own. They aren't competing for the teenage market, as a matter of fact, they go hand-in-hand. Look at all the online communities for game consoles, which couldn't exist without PCs. And Software developers port games from PC to consoles and Vise Versa all the time. They both will do well, each for it's own reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie Guy Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 And when you're playing aconsole you can sit on your couch. And consoles never crash and rarely ever, if ever, freeze. Consoles are the bigger market, thats why you see more games for them, its just business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithcloak Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Well you have good points rhett, but at least you don't have to run around buying every console so you can buy every game! Why can't they all get the same games? I mean if the games are so good why not make more money and port them? I want RS2! I don't have a game cube! Do i have to buy a game cube to play RS2? If they don't port it within the next 6 months then i guess i'm buying one. Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_HaZeKniGhT Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Is the PC gaming fading away? No, of course not. There are well over thousands of people playing games world-wide all at different times. Many play 1 player game, many play multiplayer games. IMO, I think that gaming on the PC is getting more popular. _HaZe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 PC games are far more customizable and versatile than console games. I like that a lot. Besides, you can't play RTS in a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tried playing a ps2 or GC or X-box game on the PC, you better have a really high end computer or they'll really lag. Remember, those games are customized for the hardware of the console that they are on, so they don't always play very quickly or at all on different settings.
