[QUOTE="MikeE21286"]What two words did I highlight? Could. You have no facts to believe that a version will be coming out two years after it was released or any facts stating that there are significant changes to the games.

I Know that the single player game will be the same game with the inclusion of extra missions on the PC and that the extra content will only be on PC. Your argument is littered with opinion and guess-work, and withan estimated release date of November 07 at IGN and Gamestop.com, one of your opinionated arguments just got a little weaker

Christ, calm down. You're getting far too aggressive. Did I personally attack you or something? No, I simply stated my opinion on why i don't think one should consider a game multiplat under these circumstances, and you blow up likea bomb. Chill.

Even If the game makes the winter release, it is still a year after the release of its counterpart. People will be focusing on Geow2, and the 360 will still be seen as the game's 'home'. The scenario will be reminiscent of Halo's port to the PC.

You try to disprove me so I played right back, don't getsad because you tried to lay off your opinion as fact

Really this statistic means nothing to me personally as I cannot play the games on my PC that are also on the 360 anyway.Driftwood111
Funny, I don't own a PS3, I guess I shouldn't count any games that are on that platform?

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"][QUOTE="huff2k"]

i think the point of this thread is that the XBOX360 HAS BEEN OUT FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS and has 2-3 AAA's

the ps3 hasnt even been out one year so when u say XBOX's 2-3 AAA's > PS3 AAA's 0 ...... almost 2 years > 9 months?

hyperboy152000

statistically speaking, the 360's launch lineup is better thanthe ps3's current lineup.

that only a matter of opinion... and while the whole exclusivity debate is not opinion but more or less fact considering that if you can play a game on more then one system with more or less the same stuff its not exclusive no matter what platform its on... but in direct response to your post, when talking about scores your right, but the 360 still didnt have a must own AAA game until geow came out

no it's not a matter of opinion, we're talking statistically based on GS reviews. you are posting on a GS forum. if you take all the scores for the 360 launch and all for the PS3 launch - 360 beats PS3. end of story. no opinions. nobody really cares if you think the scores are apt or fair, they are what they are and this is how system wars works. if you want to talk about opinion keep it in the blog, or expect people to shoot you down ;)

1) During the time between the releases, yes

2) No, Sigma isn't considered a AAAE because it is more or less NGB with a few extra missions and updates graphics. If you think those are reasons alone to consider it a PS3 AAAE, the one can consider the PC version of GeoW an exclusive as well, as it will have extra missions, updates graphics, etc., rendering it seperate from the 360 version.

No that one is a "fact" as Casey is using it. Yes the ratings are opinion, but in System Wars we go by GS ratings. so he is dead on.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]pdz + forza 2 + graw = 3JAMES_L_BROOKS

GRAW? isnt that coming out on PS3, wasnt there just a demo in EU for that on PSN? lol now im lost....

Graw 1, not 2

Multiplatform titles don't count I guess.

So 360 has PDZ and Forza... And the gamespot reviewer was drunk writing the review so PDZ shouldnt have been a 9. Not ever. Game sucked balls.

No it wasn't. The so-called Myth is that PC gaming costs a lot to get the SAME quality experience that the reviewer gets. or to run the game like the video shows. No one is interested in a game with medium settings. Sure they may be decent, but this is system wars and we are gragging about the great graphcis then we need to say the PC/video card required to run it is defnitely high-end. All games on consoles are ran at the best experience posible for the user (well depends on monitor attached, but that applies to both PCs and consoles). The PC game often needs to be ran on lowest settings or medium settings for many/most PC gamers.

When the review score reflects what the lowest common denominator on the PC is to play the game then we can call it even. In other words...Hermits don't brag about PC graphics on max...brag about them on the minimum requirements for the machine. Now if we want to just say PCs are more flexible than consoles, then obviously I agre and that's my point...comparing PCs to consoles is like comparing apples and oranges. It can be done, but they are both very very different experiences.

3picuri3

well this argument totally fails seeing that NO consoles can run games with the equivalent of PC high settings.

also fails because your point just isn't true. most if not all PC games are reviewed based on recommended system settings, which is what the game is designed for. it's not like they use a dual 8800 SLI with quad CPUs to test it out.

also fails because most PC gamers aren't pure visual whores - they don't mind taking some concessions in terms of visuals to get an extra few fps to get an edge in multi. at least they have the option - unlike some PS3 games and 360 games that are set above their capacity and chug like fat men in a race for the Last Burrito.

also fails because PC games get score reductions for poor performance on recommended settings.

there are numerous other reasons why this fails.

PC will always be a competitor in system wars - that's the biggest reason it fails, you can all spout it out until you're blue in the face, but the fact is PC's are GAMING PLATFORMS. deal with it - m'kay?

Gears disagrees with you. When it released it was king of all. Of course Crysis will pass that up, but when 360 launched it had the best GPU out. Of course now PC has passed it up.

i will never count pc. here's why. why would anyone count a pc, because everytime a new game comes out you gotta upgrade it, or a new piece of hardware comes out you have to add it. its a ripp off. when the same game comes out for the console i have to do nothing. who plays on a keyboard and mouse anymore. that is a dying breed my friend. the dollar bill will close the gap to nell. it will not be worth it, to get the same gaming experience you;'ll get on a console.

well this argument totally fails seeing that NO consoles can run games with the equivalent of PC high settings.

also fails because your point just isn't true. most if not all PC games are reviewed based on recommended system settings, which is what the game is designed for. it's not like they use a dual 8800 SLI with quad CPUs to test it out.

also fails because most PC gamers aren't pure visual whores - they don't mind taking some concessions in terms of visuals to get an extra few fps to get an edge in multi. at least they have the option - unlike some PS3 games and 360 games that are set above their capacity and chug like fat men in a race for the Last Burrito.

also fails because PC games get score reductions for poor performance on recommended settings.

there are numerous other reasons why this fails.

PC will always be a competitor in system wars - that's the biggest reason it fails, you can all spout it out until you're blue in the face, but the fact is PC's are GAMING PLATFORMS. deal with it - m'kay?

Gears disagrees with you. When it released it was king of all. Of course Crysis will pass that up, but when 360 launched it had the best GPU out. Of course now PC has passed it up.

king of all? are you insane?best GPU? maybe of consoles --- buddy you better get your facts right if you wanna keep afloat in here.

can you please elaborate - you're making little to no sense to me. if you want to argue then make your counterpoint, seeing i left the original argument dead in the water.

Ok, let's try this. What game looked better than Gears when Gears released?
What GPU was better than the 360's when the 360 launched?

im sure there was someone out there that had oblivion running on PC that looked better then gears at the time of its release

i will never count pc. here's why. why would anyone count a pc, because everytime a new game comes out you gotta upgrade it, or a new piece of hardware comes out you have to add it. its a ripp off. when the same game comes out for the console i have to do nothing. who plays on a keyboard and mouse anymore. that is a dying breed my friend. the dollar bill will close the gap to nell. it will not be worth it, to get the same gaming experience you;'ll get on a console.

No it wasn't. The so-called Myth is that PC gaming costs a lot to get the SAME quality experience that the reviewer gets. or to run the game like the video shows. No one is interested in a game with medium settings. Sure they may be decent, but this is system wars and we are gragging about the great graphcis then we need to say the PC/video card required to run it is defnitely high-end. All games on consoles are ran at the best experience posible for the user (well depends on monitor attached, but that applies to both PCs and consoles). The PC game often needs to be ran on lowest settings or medium settings for many/most PC gamers.

When the review score reflects what the lowest common denominator on the PC is to play the game then we can call it even. In other words...Hermits don't brag about PC graphics on max...brag about them on the minimum requirements for the machine.

that only a matter of opinion... and while the whole exclusivity debate is not opinion but more or less fact considering that if you can play a game on more then one system with more or less the same stuff its not exclusive no matter what platform its on... but in direct response to your post, when talking about scores your right, but the 360 still didnt have a must own AAA game until geow came outhyperboy152000

Wow. You must either not be much of a gamer or have some weird tastes when it comes to games. Are you saying that:

Dead Rising, Oblivion, GRAW, COD2, Kameo, NFS:MW, PGR3, FNR3, Burnout Revenge, Condemned, Chromehounds, Prey, Saints Row, Test Drive Unlimited, Splinter Cell Double Agent, F.E.A.R., and DOA4 were ALL bad games??? All of these were released prior to Gears and are great games in their own right.

This all only matters if you care about exclusives.

In the end , it's the fanboy that cares about a game being only on his system, and not a gamer, who simply cares to play it.

TheCrazed420
Exactly!!! I don't care if a game is exvlusive as long as i get to play it, if i did i would have a lot less 3rd party games and my collection would be lacking. ;)

can you get over this 'max' settings garbage? games aren't reviewed on max settings, they're reviewed on recommended settings. just like your 360 / PS3 aren't running games at peak visual fidelity.

graphics are better on PC - fact. even on medium settings / or recommended settings they trounce console versions. take a look at Fear, or Oblivion, or any other port you want. find me one that looks better on consoles at the SAME resolution as PC.

So my counterpoint is proving it was the best graphics of all games when it released. Surely the PC would have several games that looked better (I'm not talking CGI either), so it shouldn't be too hard to do if I'm insane for thinking Gears was the best looking game. Go ahead, please post at least 3 games. Or am I the sane one?

Same applies for the GPU. This will be more debateable as I'm sure you'll throw the Nvidia card that was availabe at the time, but go for it...let's see what it yields.

And that is my counterpoint. If you're saying you know a game that's better looking than gears...then it's your move to prove it by at least telling me what game(s) it is.

Multiplatform titles don't count I guess.

So 360 has PDZ and Forza... And the gamespot reviewer was drunk writing the review so PDZ shouldnt have been a 9. Not ever. Game sucked balls.

mikasa

Still Gears is ONLY on the 360. We don't know how it will translate to the PC. Also Graw is a completely different game than GRAW PC. they only share the same name. Count it if you like or don't. but those that play it know it's a different (and better) game on the 360.

GEARS should be far better on PC, if history tells us anything about EPIC, who are amazing PC developers to begin with. Mods/Maps/Extra Content/Better Looking/Mouse+Keyboard or Controller options etc..etc..all add up to a better version, as Epic even said in the recent GFW magazine article.

these games was not AAA material bro, and by the way, did you carefully read his post??!? He said that the 360 didnt have any AAA titles until gears came out, whilre i kinda disagree with him ( i don't know what dead rising scored here on gamesopt), the games that are bolded out didn not recieve AAA reviews

Huh? My 360 plays all the games on max settings. I'm sure you'd like me to drop it as it does expose the huge hole in the PC argument. You can't be cheapest and best looking at the same time.

And tell me one game that on medium setting looks better than gears of war?

I can help you, it's called Flight Sim X, which is better looking than anything and everything else out there with a super rig.
