10 Reasons Why PC Gaming Is Alive and Well
10.Price
Launch day prices, majority of the time, are cheaper then its console counterparts. Prototype on steam released for $50 USD $10 cheaper than its console counterpart. Steam has offered various deals the most recent Empire: Total War for 50% off. Cheap gaming is always a plus in this economy.
9. Valve
Valve has been the saving grace for PC gaming. Everything from Half Life, Left 4 Dead, Counter Strike, Team Fortress, and most importantly Steam. To restate, Steam offers an unmatched digital distribution platform with an incredible community.
8.Massively Multilayer Online Role Playing Games
You all knew it was coming. From Everquest to World of Warcraft. It brings together everything people loved about the table top Rpg's and allows them to do it from the comfort of their home. Consoles have tried to tap into the market with Final Fantasy XI, but how many people willing to pay $50 for Xbox Live and $15 a month for a game.
7.Who needs Mascots
Many people have criticized, but...PC doesn't have a mascot. This could be a good thing. We all love Mario to death, but does PC need a game series that comes out with 4 games a year. This is why Half Life is so loved, Gordan Freeman is not milk for every possible game. Look what happened with Left 4 Dead 2 when they announced a new game to fastm PC gamers don't enjoy rushed products.
6.Free ware
Freeware is amazing, especially during a recession. Countless time during the day, you know while you should be working, your playing Battlefield Heroes or a Flash Gaming site, and enjoying those hours of free gaming.
5.Game Back Ups
So you just bought Chrono Trigger off Ebay for around $200!, and your dieing to play it, don't want to take it out of the wrapping to ruin it. Well guess what! You may find Roms and play it on the computer as a back up. ROMs themselves are not illegal per se, so read up on them before you check that out.
4.Open Source
Open Source is amazing, it gives countless replay to gamers. Here is where the PC is unmatched. Developers are never constricted to release a patch to fix a game, which means faster fixes and even faster content.
Don't like a User Interface in a game, change it to however you please. Only your imagination limits your customization in games(and some brain power). Fallout 3 its self has over 50 mods that allow you to have constant hours of play time, even better a few NSFW mods
.
3.Cutting Edge Technology
Consoles are always playing catch up when it comes to PC graphics. People say it comes at a cost, but a new video card every couple of years beats a new console every 5-6 years.
2. Real Time Strategy Games
Some people may say But they have Real Time Strategy Games on Consoles Your answer to this should be No, there isn't. Command and Conquer, Empire series, Starcraft, Warcraft. I don't even want to go on listing RTS games I might start to ramble on.
1.Its Been there for the beginning and it will be there for the end.
You could almost say Computers are the Alpha and Omega of gaming. They entered the market in 1977 and they are still around. Since people are going to keep using computers to socialize or work, computers are going to find themselves as an elite system
