Sorry for the dumbass comments I was really wrong about that now that I have tested PC games and they are actually better than consoles if you have the right computer.

Yeah this may sound kind of dumb to you all since PC has more games but have any of you ever heard of games for Macintosh they have much better quality & performance.

In conclusion Mac once again gets another win & PC gets another fail as usual XD.

Oh and complain and hate on me as much as you people want, I don’t give a shit its just the internet

Even with that, PC games normally cost between $70-90 US in Australia

By: tereglith

Gee, maybe that’s because the Australian Dollar is less valuable than the USD.

to contradict this: I got Portal for $9.99 at Target. Cheap, in stock, fun to play, and my computer can handle it!

You can pay for games and download them.

By: scuko-nah

So what? If you can download for free. Publishers and developers are still producing games. They live not so bad.

Stop complaining about the prices of games you stupid americans. A new release 360/PS3/PC game over here ranges from $99-$119 and our dollar is only slightly lower than yours.

By: Dina

Dina — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:18:31 +0000

Yeah, Mass Effect 2 for the PC came out around AU$85. And that’s not uncommon.

XBox 360/PS3 games tend to debut over $100. It’s so crap.

(And GST is about the same as tax in Washington State was, so it ain’t that. It’s mostly import/licensing/game companies hate Australia.)

By: Dina

Dina — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:15:52 +0000

God, whatever you don’t, don’t EVER move to Australia if you think that.

Steam DRM is at least fair. You can redownload all your stuff. SecuROM DRM is not so friendly. You get between 3-5 activations, and then you get to call a helpdesk and beg for permission to play a game you paid for. Often takes 3-5 business days for support to get back to you.. YEAH thanks Sony…

Awful is spelled without an ‘e.’ I believe the other spelling is sometimes still used in some Bible translations, but with a different meaning.

By: grant

grant — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:31:40 +0000

how can you say cod6 is aweful (that would be your AWFUL correctly spelt with and ‘e’.)

By: Larry

Larry — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:35:09 +0000

Gmod = epic.

Just search “Concerned”. Best HL2 web comic ever.

There’s also the Gmod Idiot Box.

By: COD6 IS AWFUL

COD6 IS AWFUL — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:20:08 +0000

Untrue… Just buy them off steam.

Never over 49.99 ( except cod6)
99% of the time in stock
Great Games

So the company does not deserve their money for producing games?

note that if everyone downloads their games and nobody buys it all gaming companies would go bankrupt, where’s your “Free games” then?

By: QWERTYCommander

QWERTYCommander — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 14:41:38 +0000

So true. My computer can’t even run a 32-bit game, let alone something like Crysis, or COD6.

Lol, Garry’s Mod. You don’t need to know what that is you you are crazy. Search for “Idiots of Garry’s Mod” on YouTube and you’ll see what people can do with it

Dang, somehow missed that PC part…

By: Flick

I am 40 but my 13 year old LIVES on Steam and something called Garry’s Mod???

You know you are getting old when, despite growing up with the beginning of computer games, you now can’t keep up!

try Zamunda.net it’s a Bulgarian site but has a LOT of torrents with a lot of seed you just need a registration trust me it’s worth it

PC games should ever cost more than $49.99

They don’t need to pay the extra “licences” that console games do.

By: mabsba

mabsba — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:12:30 +0000

That’s probably sarcasm, but since we buy maybe one game every couple months and I pay $800-$1000 monthly for health insurance and what isn’t covered, seems like a pretty good deal to me. (Oh, and we have really good insurance.)

By: Sean

Sean — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:07:14 +0000

But the $40 extra you pay goes to great social programs amirite?

By: Sean

Sean — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:05:54 +0000

yyyyeah, to be honest, I, and perhaps many others, wouldn’t have really caught on to those examples, but this is definitely a Venn Diagram fail.

I rated it 1/5. Venn Diagrams need a few punchlines, and you shouldn’t have similar labels 3x -.-

Then you have to deal with cruddy controls, no custom content, high ping in multiplayer matchmaking, etc.

Although PC gaming is waaay more complicated. But worth it. If you have no life.

Like me….

By: Larry

Larry — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:02:21 +0000

Steam is awesome like that. I remember their $2.49 deal for TF2.

Best thing to happen to PC gaming in the history of ever.

I’ll take that 2×4 from you and shove it up your smug ass.

On second thought I don’t think I will, you probably like it in the ass.

By: Redneck_Rebel

Redneck_Rebel — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 02:31:04 +0000

This is why I don’t play P.C. games.

Get yourself a game console and you don’t have to worry about what it can’t handle.

Hasn’t this particular flavor of 3-element Venn diagram been done to death yet? If you want to persist, here’s your dead horse and a 2×4.

What about the Orange Box? hmm? HMMM? HMMMMMM?!

By: mabsba

mabsba — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:19:04 +0000

Yes, that’s at the high end of the price range. I don’t know what you call them in Norway, but you have some taxes on goods that we don’t have.

By: Achwel

Achwel — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:50:26 +0000

What, is 59.99 expensive? In Norway a normal game costs 600 NOK, which is right around a 100 bucks.

I love it how games (fallout 3, CoD4, Crysis etc) just default to ultra high settings on my PC…

i dont buy PC games i pirate them but if a game deserves some money i buy them but i rly cant find TF2 or the orange box anywhere

This is why Steam is awesome. Mass Effect, Bioshock and the King’s Quest and Space quest collections were $5 each for the holidays.

God bless Steam.

Your computer should be able to handle it if it’s cheap, there’s a reason it’s cheap and still in stock…
