PC vs Consoles

[Solo]

But Why Would You Wanna Play GTA5, Or Halo Or Uncharted?

Or Even SC5 For That Matter?

They're All Equally Terrible.

GTA V: Will come out on PC in the near future. Enough bitching has brought it to RS' attention. Not to mention GTA IV and SA are for PC.
Halo: A first person shooter you can easily replace with another FPS.
Uncharted: I don't see why people like the game so much, it's so linear it might as well be a movie.
SCV: I'm not commenting on that. Next gaming generation more FGs should be on PC though. The amount of PC gamers is slowly growing.

WHY IS PC GAMING INFERIOR TO CONSOLE?

On a console, if your internet connection goes down for a week, you can still freely play games on your PS3 or Xbox360, offline.

On a gaming PC, if your internet connection goes down, you can't play most games you bought off Steam like Assassin's Creed. It's not a 24 hour sign in DRM restriction, you need an active connection to the internet just to play games on your PC! You need to be CONTINUOUSLY connected to the internet to play games you bought off Steam!

So basically, your superb graphics, your outstanding load times, and RAM won't matter at all if you forgot to pay your internet bill! You'll have an $800 piece of scrap metal, but I guess to do your menial offline computer tasks you could have just bought a $300 laptop and a $400 console for games.

That isn't true at all. Steam has an offline mode that lets you play your games when you don't have an internet connection.

Steam has an "offline" mode but that's only for a few certain Steam game purchases. Sim City you can't even play offline without an internet connection, Assassin Creed games like AC2 you need a constant internet connection to play. A lot of stand-alone PC games ported from 360 and PS3 games require a constant internet connection just for you to play them offline... (Which is stupid because you're not even playing online..)

^ Look at Diablo 3 for example, it required a "constant internet connection for PC", and Blizzard announced you won't need one once it got ported to consoles.

^ Even more evidence...

Then PC gamers had to bitch continuously (which they always have to do) and Ubisoft finally allowed future installment AC games to not require a "continuous" internet connection. But you'll still need to sign in once every 24 hours. =P
