Welcome to Morning Hangover -- an excellent way to start your day with the crew at TheFeed...no matter what you're recovering from. Every morning you'll hear musings from our editors and have the chance to share your thoughts on what's going on in the gaming world.
Patrick Klepek: Once, I was a PC gamer. I have fond memories of countless hours sucked into LucasArts adventure games, first-person-shooters I was probably too young for and discovering endless user generated content for my games, years before it became a buzz word with console games. Around the time my video card was unable to support the latest releases -- roughly when Half-Life 2 hit, the last major video game I played from start to finish on a PC -- I became primarily a console gamer. Keeping up with the latest advancements in console hardware every few years was enough for me, even if there were plenty of reasons to be jealous of PC users. Are you like me? Did you eventually give up on the PC as a central gaming platform, or are you still in it?

I am now and will always be a PC gamer. Consoles are and will always be inferior to the PC platform. Simply because PC technology doesn't have a 5-6 year generation gap. PC tech is always the latest and greatest. Also since it's on the PC you can mod your game to make more personal. -Make the game your own. Also on the PC you got dedicated third party servers on which your clan or your buddies can just hang out and if you want mod it to do what ever you want. The only down side the PC gaming is that there's like 100% more hackers on the platform because of the ability to mod.

Man I used to play age of empires to death. My last PC game was battlefield 2. PC gaming just seems to consume your life more. I don't know what it is. On console gaming now for simplicity and convenience.

You can build a PC that will run MW2 for less than 700$. And thats from scratch.
300$ in upgrades(or less probably) every 3 years(if not longer) is not that bad considering the advantages you gain over consoles.
Just think how old the hardware is inside the 360....it's about at the end of its lifecycle they just string you along getting more money out of you while giving you a diminished product. Until you pop 400$ on the next console.
Its the same as PCs, you just don't notice it because you are getting a lower quality product anyway.

I use to be a pc gamer but now i'm xbot all the way its just easier i get home from a long days work and just put the game in and it run. really theres not much different any more the consoles are so powerful and any good game on pc except for rts is developed for 360 and ported over to pc. the last good pc game to come out was crysis or stalker.

If it is out on PC, I'll usually get it on PC. That is why I only have 4 xbox 360 games. MS sells a thing for $10 that plugs into USB and lets you use your 360 controllers on PC. It is the one thing MS sells that has a better than fair price. Most games work best with keyboard/mouse anyway, but for those that don't. Modern video cards have outputs that plug directly into your HDTV. Unless you need to play those exclusives that are on 360 but not PC, you are better off just getting a PC. The hardware is a little more costly than a 360, but you can make it up in the price of games if you buy a lot of games.

i used to game on my pc so much....every bit of my gaming was on there. i would join clans, play matches, make playoff, win championships. but when i turned 23 i got married and had a kid. i still tryed to play but life was making it hard to find the time to play everynight like i used to. then i had another kid and it was nearly impossible. i moved over to console gaming because i found it easier to play more frequently. but hands down......a mouse and keyboard make the best controls for games.

Well you could always go the criminal root after upgrading your pc to super high levels. Several people with this mentality justify their prices to go super expensive so they 'compensate' by pirating games, movies, and music without ever leaving their home. Some actually pirate their PC's worth of hardware and above so they actually get a criminal net worth of $0 loss when in actuality they're hurting the economy.
PC gaming is a very risky world for developers to go into. The only genre that the PC gaming world will be able to hit a snag against PC pirateers is most likely the online kind. I hear World of Warcraft is doing well did they reach the 20 million mark yet?
ex-PC gamer.

PC gaming isn't dead per se. I love the user generated content TES:IV comes out with. However the mod train is slowing down disappointingly after roughly 4 years. Now I'm looking forward to Dragon Age Origins and the user generated content they come out with. Hopefully my laptop can keep up with it. It was barely able to keep up with Crysis.

I love pc gaming, I think it is far better than console gaming. Better graphics, constantly updated hardware, plenty of free mods for pretty much every game. But what it comes down to for me is the cost. It just takes too much money to keep upgrading a pc all the time, and making sure that games will run on ur pc. Then there is always the chance of random incompatibility issues.
