I´m posting this because it is really getting to me the way M$ left the Pc rot and die as a gaming platform and how we gamers did nothing...
The PC is being left with nothing but MMO´s, FPS´s, RTS´s and some very bad coded ports from console games, at exclusive games front, we get more attention to bells and whistles than to gaming itself, it is like selling a book with an ad telling of the paper and ink qualities.
The FPs´s are getting more beautiful by the second but it is getting way harder to tell them apart, the RTS´s are getting more bureaucratic than ever before, scaring out new players and MMO´s, well, it is not every day that you want to socialize in your games and not every one has a 2 Mbps connection.
Even if that is overlooked, you could have fun with your PC if not by the fact that more an more games reach the market bugged to unplayability and publishers could not care less about patching them, we had Battlefront 2 that took more that 3 months to get patched and the patch did not adressed a common issue that prevented the game from execution; most of the games i played this year had flaws to be overlooked, patched or left to play when the patch arrives.
So, OK, you got a game of another than the stated genres that worked out fine from day 1, well you could have fun with that if not by the fact that, weirdly enough, the game has a much higher requirement at your machine than its console counterpart (Halo, Halo 2, i could go on and on) or your gamepad does not work (even on multiplatformed games) or you just can´t configure the settings to achieve a better performance, come on, a DX 10 card and WinVista to play an Xbox game, control Agent 47 and many others without a gamepad, no bumpmaps on TR: Legend on a machine capable of Doom 3, that´s just wrong.
To sum it all, I had enough, my PC costed me way more than all 3 current gen consoles and i just can´t play, M$ and the publishers left PC gaming die so i´ll bury it under a console that i´ll get to play Megaman.
