Building a new rig, what are some PC exclusive games you would recommend? (doesn't have to be exclusive to PC, but I play most things on 360 right now.) All I have now that I want to play is Dragon Age and Crysis. Don't say Mass Effect 2, I already have it pre ordered for 360.

I'd cancel it for your 360, it will be cheaper and better on your pc.

I'd sell your 360 to be honest because there is nothing it does better than pc. Maybe keep it for exclusives. You've got it the wrong way round, pc should be your main gaming machine :D but I suppose that's not what you want to hear.

Get yourself killing floor, that's a great multiplayer pc exclusive, one of the best games of last year in my opinion. Risen would be a good one to get too. It was made in germany and the pc is bigger than consoles over there so it was the xbox that got the shoddy port.

It depends what format of games you are into. For example if you like RPG then get Mass Effect which you say you are getting, Strategy then get Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 or for a 1st Person Shooter I would say get CoD Modern Warfare 2. But I do think that you should sell your 360 because computer are just so much easier and can do so much more so you would get a better experience with a PC compared to a 360 but that's just my opinion.

tony2077ca

I don't hate the consoles, I just don't see the point of them. Why would anyone who has a decent pc feel the need to buy a lesser, unupgradeable mid range pc that's been crippled to only play games and watch videos and sealed into a plastic box? On top of that, the only method of input is an imprecise ham-fisted fisher price toy. It just makes no sense to me. They're for the casual gamer really. There's room for them but pc gaming is just superior in every way. Just my opinion before I get lynched :D I suppose I'm relatively safe to say that in this section.

To even the balance for you, I'd much rather have an xbox than a ps3. The ps3 is notoriously awkward to code for :D

To have games that are not on PC (imo, PC lacks genre variety - only shooters, RPGs and RTSs)

For the exclusives of course. No way am I going to miss out on games like God of War, Fable, Darksiders, Uncharted, etc...just because I dislike consoles. However if I had to pick only one platform it would be PC for sure.

Computers are a lot more diverse and you would benefit more from computer gaming than with a 360 or PS3 because there is a larger variety of games.

You're being a PC fanboy. 360 has tons of stuff that PC will never get. If he enjoys console style games he's going to regret selling his 360. Don't forget there's a lot of terrible console ports for PC as well. As for Mass Effect 2, his saves will carry over from the first one on 360, so that would be counter productive to sell it and get it on PC. I don't really see how playing Mass Effect on PC would be that much better than a console...

Yeah, I know. I mean I will just play Metal Gear Solid 4, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Ninja Gaiden 2, God of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII, etc. for my PC. Oh wait.....

I used to play both consoles and pc but I just found myself playing more and more on the pc and my consoles were gathering dust so I just stopped buying them. Consoles are a step down in every way. It just seemed silly.

The most fun I've had gaming has always been on a computer. Speccy, amiga, pc.

I would get The Witcher, Dawn of War 2 (and the Chaos Rising expansion when it releases). Also Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is coming soon... yeah I know, not exclusive but FPS are better on PC. Command & Conquer 4 and Supreme Commander 2 as well.

Well that is fine for you. But to advise a console gamer to sell their console and game only on the PC is just pretty bad advice. To anybody who does enjoy console games, that's going to be a big let down to not play those exclusives. He already owns the 360 so I see no reason to get rid of it

The fact is: your just a PC fanboy that will never accept that PC does not have a good variety of games (it has a huge amount of games, but from the same genre)

Some other good games would be the Half Life Series which are long and are rather difficult.

Come on, he's his own person, he's not going to read my post and say "well, I suppose I'd best sell it then". Some stranger on the internet said I should.
I said if I were him I would sell it. I would. I'd sell it and buy some games for my pc.

Yadda yadda? lol, anyway, i recommend Team Fortress 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., any Half-Life (you can wait for the Black Mesa MOD), Mass Effect, Bioshock and Left 4 Dead 2

Oh, i forgot: use Steam (Steam's deals are amazing!)

Orange Box. And if you already have it for 360, TF2 on PC is worth the price alone.
