Only games I play on PC are ArmA 3 and Planetside 2. Nothing else is worth it because most of my friends can't afford a PC like mine so we game on the ps3. Console games are simple and everyone is on an even playing level making the gaming experience more enjoyable.
I don't mess out on anything I have a 4 yr old Pc which is still running fine, a Ps3, 360 and a WiiU. You don't have to be a Pc gamer or a console gamer you can be both. I use to be a just a Pc gamer but I got so tired of having to upgrade my Pc or build a new one every year for the lastest games. So I bought a Ps3 for $299 instead of 1200-1500 on building a new Pc. The next year I bought a 360 for $249 instead of the cost of another new Pc and this past year I bought a WiiU for the wife and daughter for $299. So In the Span of 3 yrs after building this Pc I have saved atleast $400 a year because I didn't have to build a new Pc to run the latest and greatest game. I have also saved tons of money buy joining gamefly for $25.00 a month instead of buying every game that comes out for the consoles. Only games I have to buy now are for the Pc which is like 1 or 2 a year at max.
With that said I will not buy the PS4 or next xbox this year when they come out maybe next year when the prices come down some. I have heard rumors the PS4 can be anywhere from $500 -$700 when it releases. Hell I got my 50" 3d Smart Tv for $700 , there is no way I will spend that much on just a console.
People still care on what platform you play?
Apparently some still do after reading this thread lolQuote:

Maybe, You got to think about the cheap prices of PC games, the 50+ PC exclusives we get a year, and mods which are huge for me, and so much more advantages on PC than those kid toys.Quote:

honestly.. no matter what the "system" is.. it seems you should be less "stupid" and understand everything you can do on things that aren't pc's... without voiding warranties.......
my rig and setup are pretty damn good, but really, it's about 78% more than what's needed to play any game at max settings..
