Default Remember the days when people kept saying PC Gaming was dead?

How turned around it is now. The only reason to own a console these days is to play the unique exclusives Sony has or to play the same Nintendo game in a higher resolution.


Crazy.

Having to pay to play online killed consoles for me. PS3 was the last bastion of playing online on a decent console for free, I'll miss that and I'm not paying for it when I've got a perfectly good PC that runs a lot of the same games.

I guess as long as the kids are happy with their xbox live points and Playstation plus - who gives a shit what us oldies think? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've hated DDL for the longest time, it still gives me a sour taste whenever I can't buy the physical copy of a game (Legend of Grimrock). That said, the games industry has dug itself into such a deep shit filled chasm that I've found myself an avid supporter of everything Gabe. He's literally our last best hope.

Steam is so 2013

Every time I try to load a game on Steam, it takes 10 minutes.

Installs a patch every single time it seems
"preparing to launch" whatever that means
THEN i get in the game to wait in queue on a full server

Sounds like a problem on your end.

yeah, that's not how steam is designed to be used. at all. you're supposed to launch it when the computer starts and leaving it running when you're afk so that it can download updates during off time.

that only happens after the game is crashed and it's syncing your saves to the cloud. quit installing so many mods off of loverslab and you'll crash less frequently.

Does that gif eventually pan to the computer screen? Should put tranny porn on it then cut back to Picard face palming.

There's always something special about playing co-op or competitive console games on the couch next to your friends that PC gaming will never replace.

The new super smash bros has 8 player mode; playing with 8 friends in one room on the same TV against each other is pretty darn fun.
