[QUOTE="Dudersaper"][QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] why wud u ever play a multiplat not on pc thats like dumb unless ur pc is a posEmerald_Warrior
Or because you don't want to install another game on your PC, or because you don't have anymore space to install another game, or because of compatability problems. etc. With console versions of multiplats you just stuff the disc and don't have to worry with system requirements. And as I said, it doesn't matter if it's on other platforms, I named Guilty Gear X2, which I have for both XBox and PC, I play the PC version the most but it's still one of my favourite games so I named it on the XBOX, since there's little difference to them (other than the controller I use). And most games you named are also on PC, by your definition it would be dumb to put them there.Bingo. I pretty much have stopped gaming on my PC unless it's a must-play that's exclusive to PC (like Neverwinter Nights). It's become such a pain in the butt to deal with updates, patches, compatibility, backwards compatibility, having to download some random file, etc.
I agree. Even when I bought a $2000 dollar PC in 2009 capable of playing Crysis on high settings, I still chose to get all of my multiplats on PS3 or 360. I only used my PC for exclusives like World of Warcraft, Crysis, Company of Heroes, Starcraft II etc.
PC is just a pain in the ass platform to use. It requires way more advanced hardware on a PC to get the same result as a console with lesser hardware, simply because games on consoles are far more optimized for maximum performance. The operating system on a console like PS3 and 360 is far more dedicated to gaming than PC, dedicating far more RAM and processing power to the gaming task at hand. Not to mention, the fact that consoles are all using the exact same hardware and operating system, it allows developers to even further optimize their games to run at their full potential using the hardware.
As far as gaming goes, you just need to spend way more money on PC to get the same result on consoles for a fraction of the price. That's not taking into consideration all of the compatibility issues, driver issues, dealing with Windows Vista (that was a pain), I just avoid PC gaming whenever possible.
