Like the sun, everything is dying - but like that, PC gaming will exist for a while yet.

Of course you see PC games in shops - Sainsbury's have 'em and other places too - they are just much cheaper online.

What do ya mean, the sun's dying? It flipping well better not be! We've got enough problems in the world.

I wanna live not die. I'm too young to die!

There is a petition (which I approve of), to keep Rockstar from bringing out a PC version. Here is the link : Keep the GTA mess away from PC gamers

That's just stupid, worse than cutting your nose off to spite your face really. GTA IV had its fair share of problems and some caused by poor porting but it finished as a fairly well polished game in the end.

No PC game is ever 100% without its faults. And I'm guessing a lot of console games - initially or not - are also plagued by bugs and stuff. They get ironed out. The good companies work towards doing this as a priority and the really good ones expand on it and release new content (for free!)

Like many others I'd comment on the petition just to say what a dumb idea it was to sign it.

Its turning into a PC v Console Forum but fun all the same.......2 PC members v the Rest

if you want to turn this into a childish fanboy contest go ahead, I will stop taking part.

He's not. Tongue in cheek old boy.

As for Steamboxes... what possible difference is there to PCs if they're off the peg? There'll be choice, that's the good thing about it. Gabe Newell's already on record for saying that. Upgrade it if you like.

Did you miss the PS3/Xbox 360 vs the cruddy PC arguments when they were first announced? They were right up there in tech then and you'd have had to have spent over a grand on a decent PC spec to meet the same spec. So nothing changes if all the kids are getting anti-PC again and going all Sony/MS fanboy.

SteamOS/box will be a success.

At 11.00PM on Friday the 29th of November, I will face an agonising decision........Killzone: Shadofall or sex?


PC gamers won't have to worry on either count.

Steady on old boy. Some of us did have sex once or twice before they got a PC y'know. I remember the day well...

Edit
Ooh. Does this mean if I buy a PS4 with Killzone I'll get a choice? I'd save a fortune in Kleenex.

Console gaming is fine as in your office as long as you have not got it set up like a PC and are sitting so close to your television monitor your getting a suntan.

Really is that a threat or a promise and have we touched on a soft spot or what

Would never have guessed you owned any console because all you have done is ripped them apart, in fact i have seen a few anti console gamers on here but you take the biscuit.

Valve reveals haptic game controller for release in 2014

Looks cool...

I'm more of a white sock man myself.

So what do you reckon SPOOK, you still fancy a PS4 or what? We can start a clan and call it "Old Tricks". We could even get Timey to write the feem tune and sing the feem tune.

If you did, would you be a Bungie Destiny man or a Tom Clancy's The Division man? I love the look of The Division, but I still think Destiny will be an awesome game.

Yeah does look cool. I'm not sure it will achieve it's aim though (excuse the pun).

For FPS, sticks encourage the most realistic battles (lots of shooting around the perimeter of the enemy ) while the mouse provides the fastest and most accurate targeting. I think the biggest risk with the uptake of this would be from an FPS perspective. It really can't afford to end up falling in between the two.

The mouses speed and accuracy is down to wrist action. IMO the extra dexterity of thumbsticks is what makes the turn and aim thing a little less certain and a lot more fun. But I can understand why competitive gamers would prefer the mouse and keyboard, and don't see how these owl eyes will appeal to them..

I still don't get how iPadders enjoy games whilst rubbing their thumbs all over the screen, but then I do have rather large thumbs.

And you will know all about Wrist Action wont ya me old matey
