    First Look at the Sailor Moon Crystal Character Designs

    Whelp, this is awkward. They look extremely like the old designs, but just a little bit... off. It's hard to put my finger on it, but let's just say they almost scream "uncanny valley", at least from my point of view.

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    True, I'm just bored. Probably should go to sleep... Yeah, that's a good idea. I would like to ask one last question before I go... Are there any high-brow games, that are NOT FPSes or RTSes, exclusive to PC, released recently or that are planned to be released soon? I want to give my PC a...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    That's my Vista! Sor-ry... Got a little lazy. Played it with all switches, not to the max, but going there, nothing special, seen better. I couldn't even finish the 14-day trial. Gods, this game is boring. (That's coming from the guy, who is currently helping write the dialogue for a...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    My PC doesn't chug at all, but consoles don't have all that crap flooding the ram. Most of the time, all they have is a spartanic OS (spartanic, as in little and efficent) and a game, while Windows is infamous for loading the system with useless processes. Plus antivirus, firewall and all that...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    No, not really. Most of the RAM is eaten up by the operating system. DCU Online is getting released on the PS3, pretty soon, and it's a modern MMO. Push Ctr-Alt-Del and see for yourself. Windows and background thinds, like AIM, MSN and net browser eat some 837 MB, on a barely-month-old system...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    Please, why is it a better experience? I would like to know why. Aside from graphics, of course. I have no problem with older PC games, pre-2006, or so, but I barely see any good PC-only games coming out, except for MMOs and Sacred 2.

    So what have you thought us thus far? That irony and exaggaration are two things unknown to the net? Riiight...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    But what's the point of bitching about it now? Um... It's a parody site, to your information. And if you read back, I have a great appreciation to a nearly fully PC-exclusive Might And Magic series and even some recent games, like Sacred 2. Touche. But the original poster made the point...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    Bah, you've never saw "time-consuming MMO", until you've played FFXI. WoW is really-really easy, and aside from high-level raiding you can play 3-4 hours a week and be 80 in two-three months, if you won't slack off too much. Most MMOs require time to play, but it's expected from them...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    I never said it isn't. But it's still a game you have to invest a lot more into, compared to other games. And... It can get really boring, unless you're "into" it.

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    Well, most of the games of the past CAN'T hold a candle for the games of today, let's admit it. There are a few gems, mostly platformers, turn-basers, adventures and RPGs, if only because they don't make games in those genres anymore. And I hate them for it.

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    So... If I said, for example "the Wii is so cheap, they now sell it at grocery stores by weight" you would take it to heart as well? And I said every OTHER months, that means, for example septembet-november-january and so forth. Just throwing it out there. Okay, I'll be more serious this...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    I bloody well don't and don't want to. I buy a PC to play games and surf the net, not to study it. If I wanted to, I'd install Mandriva and break my desk with a massive Nerdection. I know just enough to assemble it, but it's not my fault when something goes "urk" and mainboard decides, that it...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    I don't consider old games bad. I don't consider them good outright, but I still religiously cling to quite a number of old PC-only games, like the entire Might And Magic series, AVP2 and NOLF2. But with that said there are STILL a ot of crap or mediocrity. In fact, can you name me FIVE good...

    Misconceptions about PC gaming.

    Yes, you've, uh... Contributed a lot to the thread. By the way, another point I would like to may about PC gaming. The crap to good games ratio is ABYSMAL. Not only that, there are DRMs. Internet activation. And games that only obsessive-compulsive NERDS can handle, like Europa Universalis...
