Bye bye gaming.
An utter joke on an industry now, turned from wanting to make the next best game to making the same game people will buy.
Call of Duty and it's billion clones have massacred traditional gaming. Completely dead in the water; mobile gaming is taking over simply because it offers something different - which hasn't occurred in console gaming for half a decade at the least.
Saw it coming a mile off, but I thought people would just say no. But they keep making the exact same game over and over again on the same graphic engines and people fork out £60 for it, so the entire industry has zero innovation and no desire to work to keep the consumer onside. So we now have a situation where the publishers can dictate to the consumer what happens, because they KNOW that they can slap a Call of Duty/Battlefield/Madden/FIFA sticker on a product and the masses will buy regardless.
Sad, sad times. FPS fans, this is your legacy - DRM driven ridiculousness.

yeah when i got my pc i just went a bit nuts. i got an i7 2700k, 16gb of ram and a gtx 560 which i have now upgraded to a gtx 690
i play most of my games on the pc now but the thing about consoles is they are just easier. especially when playing with friends but some games are more suited to them to

Ha, cheers lid.
I'm actually tempted to pick up a PS3 at some point and play all of the Uncharted games, Heavy Rain and The Last Of Us. At least that Naughty Dog studio seem to be intent on making original games.

I really want to have a stab at iRacing too after someone on here showed it to me. That looks the tits. That would need a pretty good PC if you wanted to run it on high graphics malarkey.

This. Just this. I didn't buy an 8-Core Processor for nothing!
PC is just the most dominant console, my PC cost just under 400 quid and is nearly on par with the console, if i upgrade my graphics card this summer it will be better. Games are also much much cheaper on PC, steam allows for some amazing deals and sites like GreenManGaming are unreal (Got Civ 5 with all expansions for 7 quid.) When most games on new Xbox will probabaly be about 50 quid each.
Gonna stick with my PC for my main gaming rig and then on certain games such as FIFA and MGS i will buy for my Xbox 360 and save myself a lot of money. PC is certainly the way to go lads.

Exactly mate, it's a joke really. Like you said the publishers can just whack a name on a cover and people will buy it. The reason people fell in love with these games in the first is place is because they were innovation, now they're just the same. Then you get the odd games like GTA where the people who make it take their time because they want it to be bigger and better than the previous. Then there's other games which are purely boss which just get tossed into history because nobody was bothered because they didn't have a big name on the front, example in my opinion , LA Noire. A different and boss game.
Quite sad really but I'm not really bothered the whole industry has been declining slowly since around 2008/09 I reckon.

Heavy Rain and The Last Of Us look so good! I really want to play the games that they carried over from PS2 like Ratchet and Clank and the God of War series, they were boss.

The more I think about it the more I think I will get a PS3 actually, some of their exclusives are very good. I don't like the controllers though, I find them a bit cramped but I think you can get adapters now so you can use your Xbox controller on a PS3 and vice versa.
The only thing consoles have over PC's is they're a closed platform with not a lot of OS overhead, driver updates etc. That's why you can squeeze more out of them over as longer period of time but they also don't help to move forward technology. If you love bleeding edge then PC is where it's at but you also don't typically see games like The Last of Us on PC either. But you also don't see quality MMO's or games like Diablo on consoles. You will never top a PC for graphic fidelity, though...you eventually hit limits with a console where PC's just keep on cruising. I've had 16GB of RAM in my PC now for a year and these next gen consoles are only half that. I could drop 32 in tomorrow if I was arsed but I don't need it.

Thing is though, that set up will play every game the Xbox One will ever be able to play throughout its life cycle, with higher graphical performance and the ability to improve upon it at will too.
The PS4 "may" compete long term as it's got more pure graphical power in the GPU but even that isn't as guarantee.
Basically, this Christmas you could spend £600-700 on a PC that would shat on the both consoles in the short term and long term - and you'll get cheaper games and ridiculously more diversity.

I know mate, I've wanted to get one for a few of their exclusives and found more which look even better. I really miss the Gran Turismo games as well. Do you have pyar massive hands like me on the PS3 pad as well?
Spot on except for the bold bit - Diablo 3 is actually coming out for the 360/PS3 soon; but to be frank I couldn't care less as it's a turd of a game.
Spot on about the game selection, but where you'll get the very occasional game suited exclusively to a console, the PC wins hands down 90% of the time. Football Manager, MMO's like you say, indie games like Minecraft (far superior on the PC), Bastion, Terraria...
The PC is the no-brainer choice for the next gen of gaming
Yes, it is...but, even though you don't play it you've gotta' know it's going to be an abortion on a controller. RTS games and the like and just not sound on a controller, at all. The only genre I can't come to grips with on PC are FIFA etc.

My hands aren't really that big, my main problems are the position of the left stick (I prefer the Xbox layout) and the awful trigger buttons.
