    Why buy consoles?

    I know they do. But your multiplayer games don't work without a subscription.

    Why buy consoles?

    I was referring to the cost of paying an XBL subscription actually. It's $50 a year or something, isn't it? In any case, I've NEVER had a problem with cheaters with online PC games. Maybe your experience is different, but it doesn't strike me as a large issue.

    Why buy consoles?

    It's funny how no one gets that consoles ARE DRM. Want to play multiplayer? Give me $50. Here's an xbox live arcade game, better hope we don't decide to remove it from the market because if you lose your data afterward you'll never have it again! Want to modify your gaming experience with...

    Why buy consoles?

    Dohoho, and you reported me for trolling eh? I've honestly never heard it used that way. I've always used and heard it used to describe shooters before they were able to differentiate themselves from Doom, i.e. Quake, Wolfenstein, Marathon, etc. But bravo to you. You got me there. And thanks to...

    Why buy consoles?

    Thank you for defining what shooters are. You've given a very general description of pretty much every shooter that isn't trying way too hard to be "realistic" a la Battlefield, CoD, etc. And Doom wasn't 3D at all, it's psuedo-3D on a 2D plane. The Z axis is an illusion in id tech 1 games. And...

    Why buy consoles?

    I'm aware that Doom is about demons. I was being facetious. Now, would you mind giving me that explanation? What gameplay elements do they have in common besides being about shooting stuff? You weren't very specific there. I must just be missing the entire point of both games or something.

    Why buy consoles?

    Maybe you'd like to explain this one to me? I've played both pretty thoroughly and I fail to see how Half-Life is a Doom clone. And Half-Life came out six years after Doom... I'd hardly call it an "early" shooter. Sure they have similarities. Both have... um... guns and aliens. Right. So I guess...

    Why buy consoles?

    I was referring to the rest of the post. You know, the stuff about cost and convenience and whatnot. All the other stuff aside from exclusivity. And I never denied that the console ports exist, only insisted that PC to console ports play better on PC, just like console to PC ports play better on...

    Why buy consoles?

    Okay then, your opinion on Morrowind is an irrefutable fact when my opinion on console ports of PC games is an excuse. I guess it's cool to be hypocritical. You're really bending my words, though I could care less what you think. And I continue to be amused that you completely disregard...

    Why buy consoles?

    I don't see how this is relevant. A good game stays good. ... No comment here. You've obviously never played it. See my note about the PC versions not being awful console ports. If you really wanted to (though it would be a huge hassle) you could install Linux on a PS3 or an iPhone and...

    Why buy consoles?

    Commence argument-crushing megapost. Argument: PCs are expensive! Rebuttal: My five-year-old PC, which today would cost you about $300 in parts (same price as a 360) can run Crysis with everything on high except AA and shadows. Additionally, with the exception of most multiplayer games...
