I trade them. There's no need for me to keep them. I simply purchase and resell just to keep the cash moving. However for PC, I try to make upgrades when new consoles are on the loop. Up to now the whole industry is on hold due to the harsh recession. For develjopers is unwise to invest on quality since these old museum boxes produces good buck with cheap developments. On the other hand PC requires effort and true investment if any developer wants to impress the audiences. Up to now cheap shots like Halo 4, Bio chock infinite, Ghost Recon Future Solider are retarded graphical rehearsals. They are cheap shots on old hardware trying to pull of some coins on the current cadavers.
Aside from all the mockery against the filthy consoles, with is well deserved, they are now harming the industry more than doing any good. If developers wants to subsidize their subsistence they have to play hardball on PCs and get their stuff going for the next generation. However the short sighted attitude doesn't allow developers put all effort in just one platform. Pulled and purchased by short sighted investors and publishers with the disgruntled excuse of generalization and maximization of profits these marketeers pretend to cover a wider audiences with multi platform launches. In the long run the echelon only favor the weakest console, in this case the 360. All the design effort, the polygon budget, the frame rate and the model swapping is castrated and defined by the weak profile of the 360. All the work around runs on old hardware while the new generation of kids focus on the new trends of DX11.
Is it worth to get stuck and enjoy getting stuck_ No. I used to trade, sell and resell consoles just to play few games, however PC produces better ones, the current multi platforms looks better on PC and the modding community keep great games alive for more time. Yes, consoles are toys, they will remain as toys and they will be seen as toys. Why_ Plug and play devices doesn't bring the sophistication of true gaming. Look how Mass Effect got ruined. Look how many great games are gimped because of the limited mentality of brain dead baboons who need how to get out of a hamster maze with arrows on the floor. The necrets and nuzzles (the key near the puzzle and secret with is not a secret) are another example of console stigmata that pervades on many PC games.
We don't want patronizing parameters or condescending treatments when developers develops for us PC gamers. We want the hard core, complex, convoluted, sophisticated puzzle, the complex stage and the depth of game designers in our games. Why_ Becuase we invest more than those who purchase toys. It's a fair treatment to challenge our intelligence with better games however the current stigmata of consoles suggests equal treatment between PC gamers and console gamers. It is here when they fail. They fail to understand why we are a different demography who seek different tastes and turns in our games. How about this_ Is it fair to do improper integrals on a class of partial differential equations_ Do we want to teach Bolzano theorem on Real analysis_ No we don't want to be patronized with gimped games when we are at another level of game comprehension. How do you feel if someone makes a necret and a nuzzle for you to solve on a game called Dark Souls (Available for PC)_ Is he really humiliating your intelligence_ Of course, he is. As you see consoles harms the games lowering the gaming standards because publishers design them as toys for kids. When commercial art becomes generic then all the possible grandeour is reduced to a cheap thrills for the brainless masses without making any distinction between PC players and console players.
Am I discriminating_ No, everybody likes to play with toys, however we grow up expecting a greater level of sophistication. Is it wrong to be passionate with what you like_ Do you really enjoy seeing it ruined because brain dead baboons can't solve for shit_ Do you_ No, I think developers should design for one platform at a time instead of treating Doctoral degree students as kindergarten kids. Sorry but as you see, PC gamers do more work, invest more in their games, do more effort, use more their wits, read, learn and has the disposition to learn and go through a steep learning curve, why in hell we have to be treated as lagging brain dead lemmings_
Is there any reason to gimp, lower the standards_ No, I don't think so. I think if developers put efforts on the toys, I would be glad to play a game on it because I know the exact purpose of such game. However I still prefer my Eve, Shogun Total war II and Crysis Warhead intact. I think there are games for everyone. When a developer doesn't differentiate between the expectations of their respective communities then we start to have problems.
See why I bitch_ ....
