Why PC could be the ideal platform for Gamers!

for my system war topic

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26390146

(1)****************

There are no set prices for your hardware. and EVERYTHING is customizable. for example if you are a gamer who plays excessively then it would make sense for you to build a very powerful/expensive system. if you are only in to casual/ Internet arcade games then any PC to your preference of price will do. and if you were casual but want a deeper experience then a simple upgrade of a graphics card will solve the problem. this freedom lacks in consoles.now I don't know about other country prices. but go here to see what PC gaming is like in NZ

www.pricespy.co.nz (I assume prices are much cheaper in other countries compared to NZ)

(2)****************

because there's no preset system all games will be (ideally) available. no more exclusives means gamers wouldn't miss out on experiences. a halo fan will be able to play metroid and MGS4

(3)****************

the gaming market will grow much faster as now there's direct competition in games and hardware. basically all parts of a PC will be in competition. i.e memory cards, graphics cards, hard drives etc etc. more competition is a good thing for gamers btw. and now since motion control is popular there will be others making devices as well. so if you don't like wiimote then you can simply give another manufacture a go!

(4)**********

Multiplayer!

(5)**********

User content! the amount of user contents and mods available are insane.

well that's all I can think about atm. if there's anything else lemme know.btw this is the ideal scenario for gamers. I'm not saying PC's are perfect! PC do have many issues to solve. but IDEALLY us gamers should be one community.and shouldn't hate each other like we see today.

Agree with you totally, buuut) the main problem of pc is exactly the customisability for us gamers its a perfect opportunity to build the ideal system, but for simple users like most of the people, who doesnt even know how to install, for example new video player, not to say customise a system, its a fatal flaw. Its much easier for them just to buy pre-configured working console to dispose of all problems at once. Knowlege is power))

Can't play Multiplayer on a PC when you have friends over.

well you can't split screen fps. but usually what ppl do is bring there systems over and have lan parties. I admit its not as ideal as consoles in that aspect. but whats stopping it from split screening? the pc is capable of splitscreen but its not used?? its things like that the pc can improve on.

About Me

well I'm very passionate about gaming. and currently own a decent PC that can play Assassin creed at max. and in the future I hope to purchase a 360 because of exclusives like NG2. seriously the original is one of my favourite games of all time. and it was my first ever action game so I'm a little puzzled when people criticize the difficulty. anyway as a GS member I spend quite a lot of time on forums. especially the system war forum because its so fun. so yeah hope to see you in the forums I guess :)
