It was crap.

But the PC is a cheap platform for developers low on cash to launch games, some are then licenced for consoles if popular enough.

The PC is the place for cheap, innovative games because that's where the small developers can afford to release games without being charged for the chance to do so.

Nothing to do with that, PC games just don't sell. I know plenty who wouldn't have bothered again if it was in the same state as 6-8 years back.

and now I have to question yours:

I like games more than most people. But I don't like them enough to spend hundreds/thousands on buying a PC and then getting the necessary upgrades to keep the computer up to date.

With consoles it's just a case of taking them out the box and plugging them in. At least that was you know for at least the next 3 years you'll be able to run the most up to date games for the system.

If I had the cash I might even think of investing in a better computer, but I can't say playing games on my PC really intrests me.
Also my girlfriend would kick my ass if I started playing PC games as well, she gets fed up with me sitting on my Xbox let alone at a PC as well.

Try reading the comment about the portability issues.

You wonder why I question your intelligence?!

They would because there's no manufacturer (Sony, Nintendo etc) fees to be paid unlike with the consoles.

Not as low as going after people's intelligence.

Compared to you I took the highground.

Can't wait to try and get my PC + monitor up to Edinburgh, oh no I won't be bothering.

It has nothing to do with being a simpleton. PC's really aren't difficult at all. In terms of the portability issue I agree but I can't honestly think of the last game I played on the PC that gave me major problems.

I left PC gaming way back because it was just a complete hit and miss exercise. It has changed, massively. If it had carried on the way it was going PC games wouldn't be on the shelves these days.

Nah, I suck with PC's.

I would barely be able to set the thing up. Let alone be able to work out if I've got the right videocard and all that malarky.

I'll stick with consoles, much easier for computer simpletons like myself.
