The idea that the PC is or has ever been dying/dead is flat out laughable.
As activision said the other day "70% of our profits come from the PC"

I find myself agreeing. I don't have a great PC and I do keep a console for the exclusives, but I find consoles all too controlling.
"Oh, how nice" I found myself thinking, "The PS3 and 360 both have hard drives. Maybe we can install games and not have to juggle fice discs around everytime we change our mind".
Turns out we can install games. YES! No more getting up and switching the game in the console!
"But you still have to have the disc in the machine."
What?!
"We can't let you do that, sorry!"
Oh.
Oh...
How about mods then, why can't we do that on consoles, with all the hard drives and installing? Because they hate us.

But to what end? How does an endless supply of criticism and pointless railing against other companies get us any closer to progressing as a species? And what is the appeal? The anonymity? The frustration? They're just video game platforms, for christ sake.Carnagath said:

*wipes tear away* Bless you, BioWare.
I love the consoles, but I've been PC gaming for years, it'd be a tragic day if it died, but no, it'll never happen. Say what you will, but FPS games are still best on the PC, you cannot beat keyboard and mouse, because the genre was made around it.

It's a console exclusive. Many games that would be 360 or PC exlusives are easily ported between each other. It takes far less time, and far less money. Also, to code and program on PS3 would take a different team, = more money.Carnagath said:
Could Mass Effect work on PS3? Yes. Would it be a shitty port? Probably.
Could Uncharted 2 be on 360? Yes. Would it be a shitty port? Probably.
You seem to be neglecting the existence of "gaming PC's." Not to mention that consoles are becoming more like PC's every day, what with web browsing, video chat, ESPN, etc.AMMO Kid said:
Other than Grand Theft Auto 4, I have yet to play a game on PC that was better on the console. Same goes double for Bioware games, which have always, ALWAYS been better on PC (Dragon Age especially).
PCs are great and I used to be a PC gamer, but I think the only difference in most games is small and I much prefer a controller on my couch than a keyboard on a hard chair.BioTox said:Most consoles are computers now. They're just pigeonholed into static graphics and limitations. PCs can be upgraded and modified to support more games and better graphics.AMMO Kid said:
I've always been a PC player and own just about all Bioware games, except Mass Effect [series]. I finally got DA and DA:A on the PC. It was worth it to me. I would say though that consoles controllers are better made for some games but now you can usually get a gamepad sort of thing for your PC. Did I mention expandable? =P LoL
Relic? Two words that make me angry: Space MarineIrridium said:
What happened to you, Relic? you were so cool.
Hmmm... you can obviously tell the difference in quality between Dragon Age on the PC and on consoles, but Mass Effect 2 seemed to run AMAZINGLY on the Xbox 360... in fact I was incredibly surprised it runs as well as it does while maintaining its gorgeousness. Then again, this guy never worked on ME2.
Indeed. Although someone needs to find something to replace the Duke with in the bottom right...Enigmers said:I saw this news post and actually said "I wonder how long it's going to take for someone to post that picture."The_root_of_all_evil said:Obvious post in obvious
Not long at all.
I'm starting to grow tired of my Xbox 360, and, right now, it's my PC that's providing me with the most fun.
