Why isn't Saints Row 2 better on PC?

All the games you listed except saints row 2 are better on PC Listing Dirt series as a bad port and better on consoles doesnt help your argument. Dirt series are among the most optimized games on pcadamosmaki

Agreed, Dirt 3 runs great!

I'm a PC gamer, so I can't claim to be baised free, but I answered truthfully to what I think the better platform is for those games (excluding ones I've never heard of in which i put a "?")

Most consolites assume a game is better on consoles because they believe it plays better with a controller, forgetting or just choosing to ignore the fact that the PC can also use controllers which pretty much makes any argument on this subject pointless since then youd just end up with the same experience ecvept with higher performance and resolution. Also M&KB >> controller in most game genres.

Taking a quick look through your list i can see the majority of them i have played and never had any problems playing any of them on PC, most of them i played with mouse and keyboard too. Never played the console version of any of them but id assume all of them are better on PC as far as graphics and performance go, since they are multi platform games thats all there is to go by.

Do The Run, Unbounded and Unleashed have better graphics on PC and do they have controlller support?

Why is Off The Record worse on consoles? Dead Rising 2 was better on PC...

Why are The Force Unleashed, H.A.W.X. 1 & 2, SEGA Rally, Skylanders, Web Of Shadows & Shattered Dimensions better on consoles? Issues with the PC version?

Are Binary Domain, Insect Armageddon, Lost Planet 2, Mercenaries and Kane & Lynch really better on console? Since they're shooters, I'd think they would be better on PC... Do they have framerate issues or something?

Has the DRM of Driver: San Fransisco, Assassin's Creed II and The Forgotten Sands been removed?

Have Silent Hill: Homecoming and Grand Theft Auto IV been patched on the PC?

What? I never said they were bad ports. I was just asking.Nyuugen

For soem reason I feel like this belongs on SW, but its not something really meant to insult PC gamers or start a riot I suppose.

Truth is, some developers have their strengths on different things. Some (like Valve) are PC first and excel at making great PC titles with games that take advantage of customization and a great UI with more flexibility then a controller, others (like From Software or Rockstar) have a preference for consoles because its MUCH easier to develop for and might handle better with a controller as well (like Dark Souls, with the whole fiasco of the developers saying to "play with a gamepad").

Truthfully, I might get hate for this, but its hard to see the PC as some transcendant platform built for gods instead of merely another option in an arsenal of various gaming options and catering to many different tastes. Some games are better on PC (and pretty much 90% WILL look better), but its a different and more complicated platform.

Honestly though, I tend to get most of my multiplats on PC, but I know when I can enjoy a game more on console.

About 90% of multiplats run better on PC. The 10% are the terrible ports.

Every game except racing and sports games.

All that matters is the quality of the game/port, if it's at least decent, then everything is better on PC.

90% of hte time PC has the better multiplat versions.

There is a few exceptions = Saints Row 2 had a horrid port,The Force Unleashed was a bad port and also Resident Evil4 for PC was pretty bad.

RyviusARC

Sure they worked but not very good ports at all imo, in the top 10 of worse ports to PC imo.

The only reason to have a console, Playstation to be specific, is for Metal Gear Solid. Every other game is trash a long with the console itself.

Why isn't Saints Row 2 better on PC?

DanielDust

You do know that there is The Gentlemen of the Row Saints Row 2 Super Mod, that improwes the gameplay and controlls by quite a lot over the original port..

http://idolninja.com/sr2.php

And the only reason to own PS3 is for MGS and Yakuza series, with some PS3 only RPG added for mix. Other thent that yes I get more out of PC versions then I do from conole ones. You really cant mod console games and add new stuff on the fly.

Oh, also, the following games:

Need For Speed: Carbon
Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Test Drive Unlimited
Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga
Call Of Juarez
Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood
Call Of Juarez: The Cartel
Risen
Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack The Ripper
Battlestations: Midway
Battlestations: Pacific
Blood Bowl
Secret Service
Stoked: Big Air Edition
The First Templar
The Last Remnant
Velvet Assassin
Two Worlds
The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings - Enhanced Edition
Tomb Raider: Legend
Tomb Raider: Anniversary

And you have played all of these games on both PC and 360? Because, if you haven't, you ignored "no biased answers".Nyuugen

Your posts are making you look more like a 360 fanboy troll with every post you make. Calling other people biased when they tell you the obvious is laughable. You dont need to play a multiplatform game on 360 to know that the higher framerate, higher resolution, moddable, more content and more controller options version on the PC is the superior one.

Did you really list The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition there? Come on...

all games are better on PC

Saints Row 2 with mods is much better than the console versions

I'm nowhere near a "360 fanboy troll". If anything, it's you who sounds like a PC fanboy. If you honestly think that all games are better on PC, then you are mistaken. Ever heard of Advanced Warfighter 1-2, Vegas 1-2 and Lost Planet? As I stated earlier, MOST games are better on PC, but not ALL of them.Nyuugen

Please explain how Vegas 1&2, GRAW 1&2 and Lost Planet are better on console.

Yet the DLC is console-exclusive.Nyuugen

Yet the MODS are PC exclusive and FREE of charge.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted might be an exception to the rule depending on what you are looking for. I own the PC version, but have also played the 360 version at a friends. The PC version of this game has limited resolutions available and does not include split screen. The graphics are still better on the PC, the loading times are faster on the PC, and it works with well with the 360 controller on the PC. However, if you want split screen multiplayer, the 360 version is the way to go. This is actually my favorite NFS game, so I think you should look into picking it up. You can download it for $20 from XBox Live. If you don't have any friends you plan on playing it with in the same room, you should look for this on the PC. I believe the servers are still up for online multiplayer.

I just bought Alan Wake for the PC retail at Walmart. I get the feeling it's going to be better than the 360 version.

This is a good answer, on the other hand. I don't think I could play racing games with split-screen, so I'll go for PC.

All on PC, bye.

It wasn't patch, it's how it always was, better, the scores are lower because it's pretty awkward on mouse and keyboard (but that's how I always prefer to play games so it was just fine), it's better on a gamepad and you can play it with one on PC, graphics and everything else is way above the console version.DanielDust

This and on the plus side you can use almost all kinds of gamepads on gods green earth (that includes ps3 and xbox 360 controllers) on PC without a hassle. The only games that are better on consoles are bad ports (riddled with bugs, crashes or abysmal performances) fortunately they are the minority.
