wouldn't you be happy just with these games alone?

spore, starcraft 2, stalker, empire: total war, disciples 3, jagged alliance 3, demigod, society, vampyre story, dragon age, afterfall, guild wars 2, warhammer online, age of conan, battlefield heroes, battlefield 3, savage 2, grey matter, dawn of war 2, sims 3, divine divinity 2, deus ex 3.

i just pulled some from the awesome AdrianWerner's pc gamers' 2008 wet dream guide, and these are all pc exclusives. i mean, wouldn't you just be happy with these. with all the devs crying foul at pc games not selling well, shouldn't we just abandon all multiplatform games and just support the pc exclusives, so they can make tons of money and produce even more awesome pc exclusive games? no more ea and their pc shunning ways (actually, i think spore shouldn't be on that list - it's also coming out on the wii?). no more crytek crying over lost profit because of piracy (and i'm sure ea put them up to it). no more iw crying about not being able to afford their sixth ferrari. just pc gaming. at its finest.

who's with me???!!!

Yeah, probably. I think the issue is that FPS is most peoples' favourite genre, and there are very few FPS games on that list.

It's distressing and utterly hilarious to imagine that a console could steal the FPS genre from the PC.

Hi fireandcloud. No, the more good games the better. It's always like that in the entertainment industry.Ps2stony

woah, is this a 'real post'? you should have indicated so, stony. i had to reread it several times to make sure.

hi stony, true, i'd like to own lots and lots of games. but i'd rather have 3 or 4 magnificent ones than 100 good ones.

with all the devs crying foul at pc games not selling well, shouldn't we just abandon all multiplatform games and just support the pc exclusives, so they can make tons of money and produce even more awesome pc exclusive games?

hear hear; this thread is a great idea to make developers take notice of the pc gaming community. i have no plans to buy any console games; i no longer have a console system and don't plan on buying one. as for buying only PC exclusives, i think i shall try to hold myself to that. there may be a few exceptions that need to be made (maybe mass effect), but i am looking forward mostly to the exclusives (or what are currently planned as PC exclusives) like dragon age, stalker: clear skies, and a few of the others.

dragon age, stalker: clear skies, and a few of the others.

i think i'd be happy with just the two you listed. especially if dragon age is truly the spiritual successor to bg2. hell, i'll be content with that for a whole year or two.

but of course, to support pc gaming, i'd buy any of those listed above if they score even a 7.5 average from pc gamers.

What about Fary Cry 2 and Alan Wake!!biggest_loser

i don't care about them, tbh. :) well, far cry 2 a little bit, but i was disappointed by the latest clip (which you can find on gametrailers.com).

but hey, if either of those two games get great scores, i'll support them by buying the pc versions.

have you seen the stalker: cs hd trailer on steam? it was posted here on the forums before, but the steam version is full screen, and it's magnificent. that's going to be the game to beat; not many multiplatform games are going to even come close!

What about Fary Cry 2 and Alan Wake!!biggest_loser

i thought alan wake was also coming out for xbox (not just PC). i am looking forward to that and also keeping my eye on alone in the dark and mafia II, but those are also not PC exclusives.

Sure. Sounds fine to me. I am a trillionaire anyway and own every platform, so I can get whatever game I want anyway. I even own some systems that won't come out for several years. Such as XBox 720. It's a nice system.

Ever played Starcraft 3? Yeah, I thought not. It's like 50 times better than Starcraft 2.

Out of that list there are only a handful of games that interest me (Stalker: Clear Skies, Dragon Age, DX3, maybe Spore). I'll never get any MMOs, not fussed on the Battlefield games, puke at The Sims, and some of the others aren't my cup of tea. :/

Mind you, if I can buy 10 decent PC-centric games (not necessarily exclusive, but well optimised for the PC) over the next 2 years, I'll be satisfied. I'm not going to ignore some titles just because they appear on consoles as well (or even first) if the devs have a good track record and are prepared to optimise the PC versions.

I'll probably get Mass Effect for the PC because I trust Bioware to make a good port of the game (based on what they accomplished with KoTOR). I'm hardly going to buy just Dragon Age and ignore Mass Effect if I trust the developer.

More and more developers are going to go multi-platform. I don't like that any more than the next guy, but I'm still hoping some of those games turn out okay because otherwise (for me) the choice will be fairly limited.

On the other hand, I'm also more inclined to look twice at less well known titles on the horizon, like Cryostasis, Chrome 2, Codename Panzers: Cold War, Collapse, etc., which I believe will also be coming to PC first.

Spore, empire: total war, dragon age.

No, I buy very few games and the ones I buy I know I like which is mainly fps which that list lacks. Dragon looks awesome but am hoping it doesn't have the flaws that bg2 had.Whiteblade999

what flaws did BG2 have? i thought it was an excellent game; one of the best RPGs ever!

• Deus Ex
• Fallout
• Fallout 2
• Grim Fandango
• Planescape: Torment
• System Shock 2
• The Neverhood
• Thief: The Dark Project
• Thief II: The Metal Age

I would actually prefer to have this list right now:

• Deus Ex
• Fallout
• Fallout 2
• Grim Fandango
• Planescape: Torment
• System Shock 2
• The Neverhood
• Thief: The Dark Project
• Thief II: The Metal Age

Seeing as how I have not played these games and they are more relevant to my interests... and I do have all the games on this list and will be playing them over this summer.foxhound_fox

you haven't played those games? i thought you played planescape: torment and ss2? i'm probably remembering things wrong, though...

Oh yeah, the thief series is amazing. Thief 2 is probably my favorite game ever. Having said that, there are a very wide variety of games that I enjoy as well, so the limited list given at the top (first post) would be unacceptable to me.

I am with you.

Very excited about Dragon Age, Dawn of War 2, Empire: Total War. Assuming I'll love them, console gamers wouldn't know what htey were missing. Devs, please dont let me down.

Well now that you mention Fallout (which is an awesome bunch of games that you should play at all costs!), I can't wait for Fallout 3. I'm just really hoping it's not a huge let down. Come on Bethesda, don't screw this up!!!KillOBKilled

At all costs eh? I'll quit my job, and go get it.

I am with you guys!!!

PC games FTW! XD

I'm not.

But then again, I'm not your typical PC-gamer. The whole RTS-genre... I don't get it.

I always want more. And to be honest, only a few of those games really interest me.

I buy great games, could not care less if they are exclusive to this or that platform, I'm not a silly fanboy. (Not trying to offend anyone here, but if the shoe fits...) Dev teams like Valve and Bioware make great multiplats, they deserve our money as much as the Cryteks and CD Projekts out there.
