there used to be good games for PCs...... and all the companies that make the consoles have their own proprietary games......middle america... eats it up...
and nobody seems to be asking the question: "I have a computer already... why doesn't anyone make games for it ???" or should I say demanding that game manufactures make the games by not buying the console versions....
we are shooting ourselves in the foot... by buying games and supporting the console paradigm WE are the cause of no good games for the PC !!... and we are condemming ourselves to hand over our hard earned $$$ to console manufactures year after year...
/.'ers are smart right ??? Why do we support all these companies with the consoles ??
Don't we all have computers already ?? what happened to running games that looked good... you know.. at 1600x1200... or something.. and with 24" panels available, on your desk, 2 feet from your face, I don't buy the argument that you have to get a console to run it on your TV.... besides most new TV's do DVI anyway...
All I know is I'm pissed off, I have a perfectly good PC, and there are few if any good games for it, because everyone is jumping on this stupid console bandwagon and supporting all the corporate crap out there that sees the console as a way to force people to buy yet another device for their house (or 2 or 3 if you want all the different games)...
$599 for something that ONLY plays games that you can't upgrade as time goes on ?!?!??!?!
makes me sick !
