umm.....sure....I think I get it. So You'd rather limit your choices and just go for consloe games, eh. IMO, the PC gaming industry is just born. They offer games that involves players into the gaming world. Sure, SNES and SEGA have some good RPG games, but do you can't relate to the character, because its not you! For example, the Ultima series was, and still is, a Great RPG series. Why? I think that involvement creates another world. You are the AVATAR! You are the main character, not a scrawny little anime punk! Heck, the Avatars can kick those little RPG characters. Besides, it was the Ultima and Wizardry (IMO, a great 3d rpg series), that innovated the CRPG industry. With games like System Shock and Doom, the players are actually the character themselves, thus, becoming absorbed. It's not the technology that makes the game(in some cases, it is, but it's quite rare.), but the immersion factor. With the new generation of games (Magic Carpet, T.V. etc.) immersion factor is quite high, and the excitement rises also. Another thing about PC games...Only PC games can let you use the phone, not some on-line server crap like X-Band, to crush your enemy in the comfort of your computer chair. In short, Consloe games are nice, but they are toys compared to current PC Games. CMStr Abuse me, hurt me, Abuse(the game) me!!!! yeah1!
