PC gaming- my (short-list) problems

I have to admit, ive been disapointed with the quality of games the PC are recieving lately, crappy ports because of console releases or unreleased for pc because a half decent PC cant compare to a console (yeah....right)

and my biggest gripe is with lucasarts, the reasons being i recently spent time trying to get x-wing alliance workin, it took time but was worth it. but where are the pc titles from this company, no new x-wing game of which ive own all of them (hehe)ive still got in my cupboard sam n max, day of the tentacle.rebel assault 1&2. ive got dark forces for christs sake. and they cant even port the force unleashed (or do what ubi-soft has done with graw and build the game for the pc ground-up) dont they realise that they cut-off the people who made them who they are today?

apparently its got sumthing to do with the physics, not being funny but Half life 2 had physics while crash bandicoot was still looking for apples. all console gaming has done is make games look pretty while the gameplay is S**t, and this has transfered to pc games,

on my old crap machine, i could play crysis from the day it came out if a bit gittery, but couldnt run timeshift, where everything looks the same.

i know im ranting, but any decent feedback is cool.

if your gonna be pro console please give decent reasons haha only because one i saw on 3dgamers was :"PC's Suck" not good enough haha

LucasArts isn't the best company to look to regarding general opinion on PC gaming, you might as well ask Cliffy B which platform he thinks Gears of War is best on.

You have to remember the problems today are not with PC gaming, it is with the gaming industry itself. As much as I like and miss PC eye candy games it is the crack of the mainstream, you can release the same crap every year and as long as the graphics keep improving few people will care. The problem with that is of course the content creation costs, it is becoming increasingly expensive to develop games while maintaining this quality standard; which leads to one size fits all PC/360/PS3 games.

Console fanboys will argue this is a sign of PC gaming weakening and console gaming being favoured, those people seem to not notice the sheer number of past console exclusives now coming to PC.

If you are sick of it (which I am sure we all are at this point) look to the PC orientated companies like Valve, Blizzard and StarDock. They may not produce a graphics king any time soon but they know how to be successful within the PC gaming market.

Ok so more sonic music...

Consoles are hurting Pc games because most companies see consoles as money machines and consolites like linear short games and they listen to what the devs/companies say. 04dcarraher

I wish there were more games for the PC. I almost bought at XBOX 360 but changed my mind and got a new PC instead. Now, not so many new games for it.lisachicka

If GameSpot's figures are to be believed PC has the most high rated exclusives, that PC has less games is a common misconception.

I think peoples problem is they are reacting and not looking, instead of seeking out interesting upcoming PC games they react to marketing and popular game news sites. These places are primarily console orientated and look at only the big name titles, the gems get lost in all the noise.
