Some of us prefer to have the versaility and freedom of having a machine that can do multiple things, and won't be limited by one company's idea of what you can do with it. The XBox is nothing more than a standardized hardware PC.

It happens that computers are versatile enough to allow the development of sophisticated games, whereas console games have had to follow PC technology in order to get PC-created games to work. You seem to forget that gaming on PCs was an entirely incidental development to their original intended purpose. Either the PC market needs a real big shakeup, or the consoles need to start emulating what I like about PC gaming (keyboard and mouse standard, and monitor, games that only come out on PC, or which suck without mouse/keyboard), because right now I'm thinking of just giving up on all that TBS/RPG/etc goodness just because I don't need the added hassle.ĭude, if you don't want or need the added hassle, just don't buy PC games.
I'm not some raging console fanboi who gets a hardon for bashing PCs, I'm just getting tired of all the BS I have to go through to enjoy my hobby.

Many games have required me to update or roll back my video drivers because of some stupid incompatability. Another game I had (forgot the name) I had to crack the copy protection and copy it onto another disc just so my gaming rig could even play it (lolz at copy protection not letting me play the game I puchased unless I crack the protection and copy it, pure genius fuckers). On one it refuses to work, on another the sound wont work, and on the third the sound is really choppy and robotic.
My copy of Deus Ex is unplayable on any 3 of the computers I currently have access to. Why is this necessary? Why can't I just have everything I need either in the disc or in the machine? Why can't I just throw the goddamn CD in the drive and play? I used to laugh at my Dad when he'd complain to my teenage self about how you just put the VCR in the VCR machine and hit play, so why doesn't the computer work the same way. The game works fine at this point, but it irked me that I had to take an extra external step to make it work. I DL the file and put it where it's supposed to be. Looking it up on the internet I find out it's a common problem because of some blah blah blah, whatever. So there I am installing Oblivion and being happy it installed, but when I open it up it spits out an error saying it can't find some. A year of buying console games (and playing WoW) brought me to the stage where I was used to just throwing the disc into the console and knowing it would work. This time was different, this time I was really ticked off by the idea that something I bought might not even work for me. I recall having thought this before as I bought PC games in the years past, and I used to dismiss it as just being the way it is.

As I was driving back home to install it I thought to myself "I wonder if it will even work". I bought Oblivion a couple days ago, and previous to this I hadn't bought a PC game for what must be almost a year.
