My humble reply to (Why Console gaming better then PC).

Simple fact is, PC wins. PC will always distribute a robust online experience. Online Multiplayer was just for PC, from Quake,Halo,Garry’s mod, and popular shooter Counter strike source. It’s still evolving and growing as we see revolutionized MMO community such as WOW, Aion, and F2P MMORPG industry starting to flourish in the market. PC will always deliever the best online experience, even with a not up-to-par PC or graphic cards . PC can hold thousands of players simultaneously, while theirs no such “Massive Multiplayer console”. Consoles weren’t made to be in-depth and complexe, but simple.

Upgrading computer doesn’t cost a lot!

Upgrading is affordable these days, and doesn’t cost that much. Theirs different tiers of upgrades, to resolution,specs,manufacture,PCI slot,DDR, and many questions to ask. Do i want to upgrade for 3-5years? Do i want to play the high demanding games? Or are you a casual gamer that doesn’t mind medium settings or low?. Just by buying parts such as,ram,graphic cards,processor. Can probably cost me up to 300$. ($50 for 500W,100$ for medicore graphic cards depending on my monitor resolution and what kind of demand i want, processor for $123 for a duo core,DDR1 or two for just about 50$ 1GB or 2GB.

That is just for a medium end computer that can run most games on Medium settings. Want a high-end computer? You can easily build one for 700USD, far cheaper then owning a console. Getting really tired of the saying “PC cost allot” Do i need a 1k alien ware computer fully customized to play games on the highest settings? No. Just a myth. All types of games work on the PC,but for the console? No. Not at all.

Console just cannot do it.

To visuals and power, PC will always have its hand up. PC can run triple even quadruple the resolution size how it’s on a console. Consoles cannot get upgraded but tend to just get updated. As with PC, graphic card keeps getting bigger and better. New graphic card is selling in the market every two weeks, you just cannot compare. I know, gameplay is always the key, but graphic are the one you are going to look at put in the “Amazing” factor. Another advantage, is that PC you are not restricted, you can upgrade whenever, not stuck with something that was cutting edge a year ago.

Usually console games come out with a PC version, opening many doors for patches, and modding community making a long-term progression within the in-game currency. As with console, you will just get “as is”. While PC offers true HD gaming, consoles use sometimes “sub HD” with very limited Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic filtering making PC many years ahead with graphics. Also, when consoles like (i.e ps3 and xbox 360 etc) looses its generation, it looses it’s library, which looses sells. Consoles is doing great in the business enduring for simplistic gamers,non-savvy,in other words,lazy worker in a chair. What the majority fails to mention is Online Subscription based models. WOW (World of Warcraft) reporting 11million subscribers, that alone potentially can earn 1.98 billion a year. Micro-transaction-Cashshop distribution earn their assets by promoting along with non-essential elements via micro-transaction. Very beneficial in western states such as Korea. One major factor of why PC is additionally loosing in “Privation” with industry’s loosing income they will commonly determine another determination to distribute their software or look for another way to cease privatization (CD key,safe CD,etc). That is why not many games are coming out in-stores for such matters. Another fact is 1billion computers being used around the world, 200million gaming computers, 1.5 billions are online individually, showing the huge amount of true potential of PC. My belief is if your a PC gamer and love the genre, stop pirating as it’s afflicting the industry to be far superior. It’s refraining them from investing extensive quantity of money and giving us some low-quality console port.

Consoles are for one task, adding less and less of diversity to the brand. If you have Xbox 360 network, you will only play with players/friends/family etc with Xbox 360. Theirs no way for a gamer to play with another player with a different console. Restricting its own network. While with PC, counter strike source for example: You can jump over from a different selections of servers of other players.

Final thoughts: Even both has it advantages and disadvantages, it’s all about personnel preference. Both has its flaws, both are good choices depending on your situation. Overall, I pick PC for the online community, social networking, MMOs,MMOFPS,Free two play games with cash shop mechanics.

Fixed common errors. Better read as I continue reading it.

Team Fortress 2 is having a special, a huge special for a great game.

"From now until 2:00pm PDT, Team Fortress will be available on Steam for the horrifyingly (to our accountants) low price of $2.49! What else can you buy for that price? That's not a rhetorical question, we're interested in all the things we can buy once those $2.49s start rolling in.

Dragon oath, I found this impressive Mmo that caught my eye. The theme is set in ancient china and game orientated around martial arts. Plus, It's based on a novel "Tian Long Ba Bu". What does it has to offer? Well while inspecting Dragon oath Interview. It offers, "Great In depth content, "countless systems", " features", "Quests and game plays that are unique" Too good to be true? Yes.


The part I loved about this interview

"Martin Tan:We are targeting all MMORPG players who want to make friends, play together, be a part of a huge community and enjoy quests-based MMORPGs instead of simple leveling up grinding ones. Therefore, "Dragon Oath" might not fit the best for those players who want to play alone without interactions with other players in the game.

On the other hand, if players want to experience group-oriented game plays, a lot of quests that replace much of grinding for leveling, crazy pet systems, 9 classes to select from, try out Chess system and Football system, amazing crafting systems with a vast size of maps to play, "Dragon Oath" will be the one for them!"

That it has many features to offer, Especially with it being orientated around social interaction and group orientated game play. I'm not a soloist kind of person, I love partying, Group battles, GvG and having a bunch of friends. Having a bunch of buds to play with is the key, That's the way i feel.

The graphics looks very beautiful and elegant, I won't be surprised that many low-end systems can run it on High spec or at least higher then Minimal.
