We get it. PCs rule, consoles suck.
We all get it.
Why do PC gamers get so defensive when it comes to consoles. Oh, and every 360 owner has Live in some capacity. Do your homework.

IMO the only thing PC online gaming has going for it, is that its free. And you cannot say that about WOW.
Live on 360 has eclipsed it for my gaming needs.
I'll still play WOW when the expansion hits though.

MAN THIS 360 IS SO COOL DEMI
Thanks to MAF's thread I have like 50 people ahead of me in Geometry Wars. I was content with Wario64 since he's a robot and doesn't count but now I feel like less of a man.

As do I find myself checking my 'Friends List' here at wrok to see what my pals are up to. It's freaky when you at home in the middle of the day and friends calls you on the phone from work and asks, "So I see your replaying the warehouse level in Condemned, still looking for all those metals pieces huh?". And the competition it creates due to leaderboards and acheivments is crazy. The reason I'm playing Geometry Wars is because I see friends of mine with insane scores. And I think if HE can do it, I know I can.
God, I think I'll have to be committed when Street Fighter 2:Hyper Edition is released on XBLA. That could be the start of something huge for the service. <Apharmd Battler desperately tries to maintian his composure>

Really. My wife is totally addicted to Hexic, and when she sees someone of my friends has beaten her record, she plays all day long until she gets higher.Apharmd Battler said:

No that's why it negates your post. You brought up free play, then you bring up WOW to show that PC gaming has more players.
phail.
I'm not really a fan of achievements in terms of points because I think the whole "gamescore!!!" is lame. But I do think achievements are cool because they let my spy on people and see how far they are in their games. It's neat being able to look at someone's list and see they're at level 6 in Condemned or have just beaten X boss in X game.
Leaderboards and online rankings for all single player stuff in like every game is completely awesome just because it makes it feel more like a community. Downloadable things are great as well.
Basically without Live, I wouldn't be playing my X360 like...ever. But with Live, I log on once every day or two and play a little here and there.

It is hands down the best thing ever to happen to console gaming.

Microsoft set the groundwork for developers to make some really innovative stuff for Live and online gaming. imo, we're going to see some really great stuff that takes gaming to the next level. Live will get video chat (could be killer app if done right), texas hold-em, growing arcade library with old and new games, and more trailers and music downloads. I think Microsoft will eventually move into offering full movie downloads, hi-def music downloads, tv shows, internet calling w/ video, iptv DVR, and game downloads imo. I also think they'll eventually release different versions their own "xpod" with music , video, and even a gaming version.
Nintendo and Sony will follow suit and mimic alot of XBL features while bringing their own spin on things. Online play will be included in the vast majority of games and Nintendo will have the added bonus of offering their exclusive old-school Nintendo titles and making MMO games out of pokemon and mario. Sony has their huge entertainment division and the PSP to make some nice connectivity options (dvr, multimedia hub, PSP tv, etc.). Time is going to be an even harder commodity to come by in this coming generation.

I'm not hyped about Live because PC's been doing it for over 10 years and for free
WoW has nothing to do with that

You argue that PC gaming is better because its free, then you offer a pay to play game as your example of a larger audience.
You are a walking contradiction.

araganekyassuru next time use Counter Strike: Source as an example of a larger PC audience that doesn't have to pay a dime to play online.

I'm right below Wario with 1.2 million. Add Dave Long if you want another million to shoot for. Drinky's got it now because I finally got online to accept his invite last night.
ALSO! And this is very important, if you get in the new Live Messenger Beta, you will see that Xbox Live friends list is now integrated into the new version of Microsoft's instant messaging software. It's very awesome to be able to see who's playing what while scanning the forum and then hop over there to the TV to kick some tail.

nowhere did I say PC online gaming is better because it's free, that's not why it's better..
what I said was that I don't get the Live hype when you've been able to do whatever Live does on PC, for over 10 years and for free
a large audience paying money to play a game that is totally new and unique (even tho that wasn't my point to begin with..) got nothing to do with it
