I've never had any serious compatibility issues, just accept that some games wont work on a certain setup, and it's generally your fault for screwing something up..

Ditto. Besides, quite often, not only do patches make games work on your PC, they often include extras in games.

Patches are a ting you just have to put up with. But they are by far more of a saviour than an annoyance. Just think when you buy a console game and it has something like ooh I don't know, some sort of really annoying bug. Your stuck. You have to put up with it. But on a PC game, if its released with a bug you can sort it. With drivers you've just got to accept that if your not running the right system some games are not going to work on it. Fact of life.

You have'nt really explained how patches make PC games suck so much. I've played bug ridden games on both PC and PS2, the difference is patches help fix these bugs on the PC, while consoles have to put up with the developers mistakes forever.

Whats with all this stroking you bunch of pervies !!
I play Pc games and Console games and to make life easier I always check the PC requirements first and I have never had any probs - the only patch I have downloaded was for RA2 which gave the ability to save skirmish mode games - whatever else it did made no noticable difference to anything.

Good thing about patches is though, they can fix a buggy game
Whereas if a console game comes out with bugs (ie. GTA3) you're all... um... messed

PC games may very well suck... but if they do, do they then spit or swallow?
