Well, Im keeping this short, since this is not going to be my "main" blog. Im still working on my actual blog post which I will most likely post next week since there are some things I want to sort out first.

Anyway, I was modded again, apparently stating your opinion in Gamespot is worthy of a 7 day suspension so whatever. Mods are the Internet Bush counterparts.

Ok people, just showing that Im alive ;D At least for the moment.

Just in case, this is my Giant Bomb username: DragoonKain1687

and this is my new GB blog: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/DragoonKain1687/

Ok people, till next time

Its not something new to gamers, especially us hardcore gamers that PC gaming is on decline. Though Hermits (the internet slang for PC fans) may deny such decline thanks to some powerful pieces of software as Crysis, the actual PC world is dying, and rapidly. Previously PC exclusive franchises have now made their way into home consoles, with some strong examples as Half Life, Team Fortress and Battlefield.
But what is actually going on with the PC? The first thing that comes to mind, of anyone who knows the "streets" is that piracy is the main reason of this decline. Companies including Capcom (Devil May Cry 4), Crytek (Crysis) and Ubisoft (Assassins Creed) have all reported that their stellar games have suffered a lot of "torrent" downloads, making sales number decrease from their consoles counter parts in some occassions. Recently, Capcom announced a huge number for DMC 4 in terms of illegal downloads. Crysis, the so called best game on the PC only managed to get to 1 million units sold, and Crysis is not one of those niche games. Ubisoft is now suing their printing company for a related accident

This numbers are hurted even more when you see the same game on a console getting as much as double their PC sales, in 2 weeks. After all, even gaming is business, and just like many companies are abandoning exclusive deals, many companies are just jumping ship from a sinking PC. Now the question is, will PC be the next Titanic, or will it be the next hildenburg?

John Carmack may have a little more of insight on this matter. If you call yourself a gamer, you know who this guy is. Carmack is a legendary developer, a Red Bull for the industry. He is the one that pushes hardware to its limits, he made FPS and online gaming popular back in the day with Doom and Ultimate Doom (the online addition to Doom 2). He then pushed the limits with Doom 3 back in 2004. Doom 3 Ultra setting required at least a video card not available at the moment. Doom 3 was 2004s Crysis.

In a recent interview, carmack announced that recent sales of games in PC are not what they used to be, and that on the other hand, home console sales have increased exponentially. He mentiones that PCs are still exploitable, but that they are not going to focus on them anymore. They will still construct the games based on them, but PC are not their target anymore.
PC gamers though should rest at easy since Rage and Doom 4 are still coming to PC. In Carmacks words, "We have an obligation to bring Rage to PCs and I cant imagine a Doom thats not on a PC".

So, Carmacks words could be the final nails on the PC (Actually I hope not cause I used a lot of papers to buy my new rig) if the situation is not changed. Even with EAs supposedly "fail-proof" security system, nothing was attained. Its in my belief that moves as the one of EA will only hurt the industry in the future.

Well, this is going to be short, and my first, hate blog.

Thanks to Microsoft lack of care for gamers, and big pockets, Final Fantasy will be delayed. Great, now what could be a 4 months wait will most likely be a 8 to 12 months wait. Great, just simply great.

At first, I wasnt angry at FF XIII going multi. Why would I, Im still getting to play the gme, and Im as far as a fanboy as possible, even while I dont own all the consoles. But this, its the drop that breaked the glass.

In other news, I downloaded a true old gem, which means that sadly it was not in the "right" way. That Gem is Dino Crisis 2. I forgotted how much I loved it. Sadly its still too short. I thought that after all this years, I would be having a harder time with it, but gladly, the system was so great back then that it was not hard to get into it again. For those who dont know, Dino Crisis 2 is the actual father of both Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 4. It was the first Survival game to sport full action trades, as run and gun (which is extremely cool), combos, points, rewards and no set number of enemies.

Another game that I have started playing again in the PC is Halo, it was a great game back in the day, still it was hellishly overrated, especially the PC edition that should have gotten no higher that 8. Still, its strongest point is its soundtrack, which is actually the only thing I like about it.

I dont play the PC much, my forte is on consoles, so when I name a PC game, start picturing me playing it for 15 minutes and then leaving it, since I prefer to play on consoles, and its much better for my eyes since Im farther from the screen.
