Quote of the Day

"The PC will always be the place that drives innovation. The PC is the place where great game developers are born, even—and maybe especially—where great console game developers are born. Halo, Mass Effect, Call of Duty…PC developers first." Ken Levine on Kotaku.

Yup, Creston was full of shit.

As for the whole Indie thing... it's fun the stuff excists, sure, but it's not the stuff I write home about like surprisingly many others seem to do. One of those reasons is point 4 in your list, Icewind, which is "immersion". I've firsthandedly experienced the lack of immersion in console games, due to both the whole "living room couch" setting and tunnel-vision conroller gamplay, which is the number one reason I don't like consoles. Indie games, too, fail to get me "immersed" because they're basically just simple fun. Nothing wrong with simple fun... but then I might aswell get a console.

To say that indie games are the future of the PC.... well, I hope that's not the case. Let games like the ones Icewind mentioned be that future, I pray.
