Default Re: Off Topic: A Sad Note About PC Games

Just a note that whatever happens and whatever good will the consoles be, do not forget that PC has advantages when talking about serious fps or strategy games. Strategy games is what realy keeps the PC on. Ok, so imagine the SEIV goes for consoles. Now what? How exactly would you add your own "Traushignty Imperium" racestyle to the game? Or how would you mod it to your heart's content? or even just make the AI a little smarter?

The PC has the power of customization. Nothing would ever beat it. plus, i think that the PC proccessing unit allows for more artifical intilligence capabilites for the games than consoles could ever reach. Ok, so you played a game, finished it, whats now? The AI in those consoles is dumb thing that does as it was programmed, nothing else.

To finish the post i'll give another example, Quake series. It would never have such a large community simply because you couldnt record demos, create models/skins. And no bots. Nothing.

Console is like a headache. It comes, it passes, and you forget it.
