Reply #949 - Aug 15^th, 2013 at 3:48pm On a side note, I have Steam keys for Botanicula, McPixel, and Amnesia: Dark Descent. These are duplicates from this week's Humble Bundle of games I already have. If you want them, let me know. -b0b (...yay free games!)

Reply #952 - Aug 16^th, 2013 at 10:02am I have the original Withcer Enhanced Edition on Steam actually. I just can't stand playing action oriented RPG's with a keyboard and mouse. Actually, I can barely stand any RPG on the PC.

Reply #954 - Aug 16^th, 2013 at 10:16am The original Dragon Age I did prefer on the PC, mostly because it was sort of turn based, strategy combat. The second one was definitely better on PS3. As for the Elder Scrolls, the only one I played on the PC to any length was Morrowind. Which is one of my favorite games of all time, so yeah....

Reply #955 - Aug 16^th, 2013 at 3:49pm Meredith played Dragon Age 2 on the XBox while I played it on the PC. It looked god-awful, but she enjoyed the game more than I did, so I guess that could mean something. Out of curiosity, what has kept you away from Oblivion and Skyrim? I know played the hell out of Morrowind. -b0b (...needs to play some more Skyrim soon.)

Oh I beat both of those games to a pulp on PlayStation 3. I wasn't a huge fan of Skyrim with all of its bugs and frankly I feel it's combat system is out of date and terrible.

Mostly, I just like sitting in my recliner playing games on my huge TV more than I do in a computer chair these days. It's nice (And yes, I know the graphics are worse) to know a game will always work and look like it's supposed to when I play a console ahah.

Admittedly, I've been playing more controller-friendly games with an XBox controller on my PC lately. Typically, if it fully supports a controller, I opt for the XBox controller over the keyboard and mouse. Some games like first-person shooters PC RPGs still work best with a keyboard and mouse, but it's nice to be able to lean back and use a controller for driving sims, platformers, and similar titles.

I think I'll always be a PC gamer first and foremost because of the enhanced control over the appearance of the game and the ability to run a myriad of mods on many titles (and the crazy Steam sales don't hurt), but I can certainly see the appeal in console gaming. There is something to be said for just buying a game and throwing it in the disc tray.
