[QUOTE="farscapesg1, post: 2729727, member: 15234"] I'm more of a PC gamer, if for no other reason then not being able to justify buying game consoles to the wife when we don't have kids yet :heh: It's easy to justify computer upgrades when we are both using it all the time, so I usually have a pretty good system. I've never been a big "Street Fighter" genre fan. I don't care for playing First-person shooters with people across the state/nation/world. Those are more fun to be sitting in a room with all you buddies so you can see their faces when you take them out :] I wouldn't mind the console games if there was just more "cross-platform" going on. As it stands there are games that I will never get to play thanks to the fact that they haven't been "ported" to the PC. The Gauntlet series is a good example. When Gauntlet Legends was released on the arcade, I loved it. Then I heard it was being ported to some of the consoles and there was talk of taking it to the PC. Well, the PC idea seems to have died for the entire series :( Why, for the love of god, can't they port them to the PC? Now I am seeing a bigger trend of games only going to console :\ Is the PC game platform dying? And then you have the issue of three different game consoles with very little cross-over between them. If I get a Nintendo system, that means no Halo. If I get an XBox that means no Zelda :( [/QUOTE]
