I think pc games are more worth it because if you buy a nice enough computer you can play some pretty top of the line games for a long time. I would be happy for at leasta good 5+ years before I would be tempted to upgrade my computer in order to play any newer generation games. To be honest you can only get so good with graphics... So why obsess on something that is a few pixels better at rendering graphics and so much more drain on pc resources that you have to buy new ram cards... But in the...

I agree that it is more worth it to buy games initially. Because Consoles in the beginning do have better graphics than PCs. But then later PCs will end up surpassing Consoles on graphics. Theres great games on both formats though, FPS for PC, Fighting and RPG for consoles, etc.
i have an xbox , and dont see the point in buying pc games really as there are some great online games and the great titles come out on xbox.
all i get on PC are the classics and the rugby and football manager sims as consoles really cant compare on them. All i have are Flight Sim 2004 Pro Rugby Manager 2004 Pro Rugby Manager 2 Football Manager I mainly use my PC for software and web design stuff etc..... as well as all the stuff available online.
Most games I have are on XBOX, but games like C&C generals and call of duty I ratter to play on my pc.
i dont have xbox or ps2 but i think that the problem on changing video card or ram memori ir really very expensive, and sometimes is better to buy a console that buy 3d cards or ram memori.
well pc gamea are much better for onlie cod and css for example but with xbox live now etc it getting closer.
i think perhaps consoles are becoming too much like pcs. rather play my pc thought to be honest pc games are also cheaper which is good for a budget
i think that in the future ( two or tree years) people will use the consoles to play online too.
Well, I think that PC games are worth the cash. I remember me buying Freelancer atleast 1 and a half year ago and I still play it...
Although I do own an Xbox, I like my pc above my Xbox, even with games such as Halo2 and Fable to keep me busy..lol
Yes, it's true that PC Game producers go over the limit ocassionally, but it's not like you have to buy a new video card+RAM for every game. I've been living off of my lousy NVidia GeForce4 Ti and 256MB of RAM for about 3 years now. I can even run next-generation games on my computer, like Half-Life 2. Updating your video card and RAM is something you do every few years, but also, every few years new accesories, enhancements, and new consoles come out, so it's really not that different in console and PC gaming. It all costs to much money
Yeah man, i agree, although id love to have all of that stuff it is way to expencive..

But in the long run I rather upgrade a pc than buy a 800$ game system or even 200$ ish... At least a highly upgraded pc can serve more purpose than a console. Well for now at least. I predict consoles will end up being fancy gaming computers enevitably. Going from console to dedicated gaming pc thats upgradable. Pretty much already like that now.
There's also the argument of actually developing the game in such a way that ports to console versions would take full advantage of the hardware available as well as being able to be upscaled much more by the flexibility of potentially-better hardware in a PC. There's no sense in arguing the superiority of a PC if the game in question doesn't take much advantage of extra graphical processing power OR if the game was developed poorly or in a fashion that doesn't take advantage of a realistic rendering engine, lighting effects, etc. (Think of World of Goo. It is an awesome game, but graphically-speaking, it doesn't matter whether you have it for the Wii or for the PC. Games like Oblivion, on the other hand, may see improvement in framerates and graphical eye candy when comparing a console port to the PC version.)
First of all, you will have to think about you ability(ies) to make such a game;
can you program all the game and code it? can you generate graphic as good as the game you buy? And many more.... Then, you have to consider this: If you were to take programming lessons and other things like that, and produce the same quality game, does it worth the learning? - long term and short term - if you rarely buy games and this is one of the few you buy, then taking lessons just for 1 game is not really efficient and vice versa, if you buy loads of games, then making your own might cost more (time etc.) but it definitely is a great archievement (you are already professional, then consider this another project). Also, know what you are buying and think what makes the game worth it. There must be a reason for such items to cost a certain amount of money. After all, if you are just playing the computer game and not knowing how to make one of what it takes to make one, then it's probably worth it. Another thing (slightly off topic), does time worth the money? For example: is your gaming time spent worth the money you paid?
This really depends on how you look at the situation.
Nowadays, it's almost easy to just go with a "next-generation" console. The graphical and processing power of consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PS3 far surpasses those of most machines that even some computer enthusiasts may have. In my eyes, I can clearly justify why I do most of my gaming on my 360: because my laptops can't run most games with eye candy, and shutting things off to accommodate my lacking hardware performance diminishes the experience a bit. I will go with the case of an Xbox 360 because I own one. An Xbox 360 costs about $400 for the Pro variant. That is a $400 machine that can play games, play DVDs, supports streaming content, and interact with online content. It houses a 3.2GHz triple core processor (Xenon), a beefy and uniquely-designed GPU, 512MB of GDDR3 RAM shared with the GPU with (again) a unique unifying architecture, and HD and digital audio support. A computer with similar specifications (CPU: $200; GPU: $100-200; RAM: $50;, HD: $50; peripherals, network card, sound card, and optical drive: $50-$100) could cost much more, comparatively. Hardware-wise, you would be smart to go with a 360. Now, looking at the price of games at MSRP, console games cost a bit more than their computer counterparts: $50-60 as opposed to $20-50. Online play with Xbox 360 on XBL costs $50 a year to play, as opposed to free online play with the exception of some games and most MMORPGs (with World of Warcraft at $15/mo, or $180/yr). You also can't surf the Internet, install and run additional software, implement customization, choose your operating system, or do much else outside of entertainment application with an Xbox 360. With a computer, you can upgrade your components, whereas with a video game console, you're stuck with what you have (unless you hack/modify your console). Upgrading may be considerably cheaper than purchasing the next generation video game console, which would probably cost around $300-$600, unless there is a real overhaul of components involved (like purchasing a new processor which would require a different socket type, which means a new motherboard would go along with it, or if you were to upgrade to the latest GPU). However, there's also the thought of actually keeping hardware for a considerable amount of time and the factor of a console's "usable period." If you can still have fun with your aging Pentium 4 machine that can still run newer games at reduced graphics, it is still usable. Likewise, you can still have fun with your old SNES. It really depends on what you're looking to do. Flexibility is won hands-down by a PC, but a video game console can't hurt as a primary entertainment system.
i think most of the major pc games have a pretty lenient set of video card/ram requirements as far as that goes.. unless your computer system is more than 6 years old, there's not going to be much of a problem. Either way, you would want to update your video card/ram for optimum computer performance, if its not up to par... I don't own an x-box, but I've done the pay-per-month mmorpg games and haven't come across any major upsets.
so it isnt so much that part which dulls the appeal of pc games for me, but the fact that most mmorpgs just require a lot of time inputted into the game in order to get anywhere..for me, thats the main drawback
