The PC Game Experience

That's hardly the PC game experience.

once you get use to it it's not that annoying, (but still)
direct x it not like a new ver. get's out every month
and the patches is the same as consoles this gen, don't exagerat it

I guess it's time for a new PC, never happens to me and mines 5 years old... Runs Empire total war on high quality like a dream...

I think someone's jealous that they don't own a gaming PC.

That was actually directed at the OP, but okay. Yea, I would love a gaming PC as well.

I know... I just wish I had one too....

I want to get a gaming pc for Starcraft 2.

Also I have some friends who play L4D2 on PC which is fun as hell to play mods and stuff.

i hope your talking about Gaming PC's and not regalur PC's
there's a huge diffrance! most people get regalur PC's so they can get online to use Facebook, Youtube, My Space, Skype, MSN, and PS3 nation Forms

If your talking about gaming PC`s! then what your saying makes no sence! PC`s are the most customizable gaming...internet related systems on earth! you can`t customize a console to your likeing... sure you can put kool backrounds and setings on your console! but PC had your beat a long time ago...

anywhooo.... even if you don`t like pressing a keybord and mouse to play games! you can hook up your ps3 or xbox 360 controler use your USB hook up... sooo there`s realy no need to complain... with out PC`s there would be no PS3`s or 360`s! because the PS3 was designed on a PC! an so was every other thing tech related!

yes! even this website was created on a PC! LMAO : )

orly nao? obviously he doesn't use steam or has a very outdated PC

true! i get all my games off Steam

apparently, this moron has never heard of steam.

"Insert the DVD ROM."

I stopped right there. Try using Steam. No not the gas phase of water.

Insert the DVD ROM. Run the autoplay that it starts up, if your PC is foolishly configured to run what ever DVD you insert into it.
Run through the typically crappy win32 installation script.
Type in 20 alphanumberic digits to prove that you are either not a thief, or a thief bright enough to copy a 20 digit number along with a DVD-ROM.
Try starting the game.
Find out that the “spooge could not be found.”
Google for “Spooge could not be found” and discover it means that you don’t have direct X 9.0c installed on your PC.
Install Direct x 9 on your PC. No, wait, unpack the installation files for Direct X 9 and then run an installation program off the directory.
Hope your PC still boots. It does
Start the game.
Discover that the game lets you move the camera in every direction except up.
Search the web for patches. Find several, none of which are hosted by the maker of the defective software.
Fill out two registration forms, including ones that want your birthday, to download patches. Let me get this straight — I’m sold buggy software and now I have to provide my personal information to get the fixes for bugs?
Try to figure out which ones you have to download. Do you have to download each one in order, or are they all inclusive?
Struggle through the download process, which is the typical crapware that wants to install an executable so I can simply download a file. Not like that problem hasn’t been solved on TCP/IP for thirty years.
Discover you’ve downloaded a patch for “Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War”, not “Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade”. Download the correct patches.
Discover that the training module works, but that the game does not.
The console game experience on my brother-in-law’s PS whatever.

Select DVD-ROM.
Insert DVD-ROM.
Start playing game.
You’ll notice that one of them sucks and the other doesn’t, and that the difference has nothing to do with the hardware. It’s the software. And near as I can tell, if the PC gaming market is failing, the market is working just fine. The PC gaming market deserves to fail.

This is why we have something called Steam.
