As everyone is well aware I was such an avid programmer when I first started learning how that it actually pretty much killed my gaming life entirely for years...you don't work on PCs that often and not know how to get things done, be it pirating or finding games to taking out another PCNot to sound like a console fanboy, because I'm not, but at one point console games were better. Trying to get a lightgun, or any pre USB thing, to work on PC was a nightmare, very little supported it even if you could. Many coders/publishers treated PC as an afterthought. It's not that the PC was incapable, but the ports were intentionally? bad. That still happens now sometimes, the bad ports.
SF2, which I was a big fan of, absolutely sucked on PC, but on SNES it was pretty good. I bought the console just for SF2. At the time, the best PC SF2 game was a homemade game by a Korean guy, that also added a lot of other characters from various franchises. The version I got was in Korean, and I translated it myself. Again with the hex editing.
So to say I was a console gamer by choice is an obvious fact, which also means I obviously agree with you. I don't think PC gaming had that much to offer until emulators were made and that still just played a console game...but it was also the same era when PC gaming started becoming worth it.
It just took me a few more generations to catch up because I still loved console just like any other console gamer to this day. I say they're idiots because I actually see the advantages to PC gaming from the price to the freebies to the graphics...but I also understand the love of the simplicity and die hard old habits that keep them on console.
These days its such a bad decision because the consoles are literally impossible to repair PCs and cost almost as much...if they were dirt cheap it wouldnt really be such a foolish move to biy them. And the games, again, and again.
Thats what broke me, buying the same game for the next gen Playstation was the straw that I snapped in half with.
Speaking of stupid computers...you figure all these cell phone addicts would be use to it, gotta go...I was close to crashing and now my phone ia forcing a fucking update windows style. Ttyt fellas.
