Again The Console **** pc gamers!

Im a huge PC gamer.. and its sad to see all my developers going to the darkside (consoles). I know they can make more money that way but still.

What pisses me off the most is how it hurts the games. Today i was reading an article on gamespot about how

"Keynote sees horror game "officially" revealed...again; Carmack confirms open-world driving game too big for two Xbox 360 discs, prompting lower-grade graphics; no Quake 5 in the works"

wtf... . you hear about this all the time, how games have to be shorter or have there graphics down-graded because of the console. We get horrible interfaces. We did the whole "we were limited by the consoles r"this" or "that" and hd space or cd,dvd size..."

Am i the only PC gamer who is sick of pc only developers running to consoles and giving us less of a game?

Yeah only the 360 version is affected. The PS3 and PC versions remain fine.

They couldnt fit everything they wanted on 2 discs so they used higher compression on the textures for the 360 version. They said 3 discs wouldnt be economically fasible for the 360 because MS imposes a heavy disc fee for each additional disc.

disk fee? wow, are they money hungry or what, well they're not called M$ for nothing right?

I really think you people hate the idea of PC exclusives going to consoles more than the actual effects it has on the games.chesterocks7

Deus Ex -> Deus Ex Invisible War.

A sequel, to one of the greatest games of all time, made by the SAME DEV TEAM, somehow turns out to be utter crap. Hmm, the original was PC only (ported to consoles LATER.) The sequel was developed on Xbox and was restricted by it's technical limitations. Hmm... :roll:

Translation: We hate PC exclusives going to consoles because it restricts what the devs can do, and it usually means that the game WILL be dumbed down for the masses - And this has been proven many, many times.

It's ok, here are the top 5 reasons PC gamers will always be better than console gamers:

In your face console gamers (although I have a PSP and DS... those don't count)

The bottom line is that this isn't something we can blame the developers for. People pirate PC games all the time and sooner or later it will catch up to the PC gaming industry. It has now. These companies run a business and PC gamers that pirate anything are taking away from sales that otherwise would have been acquired thrhough buying the game legally.

If you want to make a change, then encourage people you know to stop stealing games and destroying their own platform.

Ok, that's one valid example, but it will take a lot more than that to convince me. As far as I can see, the majority of multi-platform games are very good across the boards, and would not have been better if they were PC exclusive. And even some of the sequals that come out are highly acclaimed by lots of people. It seems the fanboys are the ones who really have problems with the sequals because they're not carbon copies of their favorite games.

As long as game developers see their profits drizzle away because of piracy, this is going to happen; and frankly, get worse.
