comparing Pc to consoles is stupid

The first poster said it well. It's the GAMES.

And for me, this is the current game to play and has taken most of my gaming time:

It is on the PC and so is Calamity Trigger.

It's out there if you look.

Also there is barely any difference between the games.

They did nerf V-13 though.

I am playing Calamity Trigger on the PC right now.

[QUOTE="Metroid_Other_M"]the point is that pc gamers keep comparing pc's to the "crappy-outdated" consoles and to me it's not a fair comparison. that's it. games can be compared yes, but stating Pc gaming > console gaming is still an opinion, unless you're talking about hardware, which again it does not make any sense to compare an upgradable paltform with othere that are not. skrat_01

You can play it on PC, just not legally. :P And if you wanna pull an exclusive argument then that's a game you don't wanna play.

sorry, but where the hell did you get Blazblue for Pc if it's not even out yet?

Tell that to Asia and Europe. Anyway, your argument has more holes in it than the Soviet nuclear power problem. I'm not even going to start with you because you're as hard headed as the OP, albeit more intelligent.

How does BlazBlue affect any part of this topic's discussion anyway?

1. First, it's not a legitimate acquisition. Pirate Bay anyone?
2. It requires a specific hardware configuration (eg reports are it will only save data on Drive D:, and resolutions are fixed at either 640x480 or 1280x720).
3. It would also lack the goodies found in the home retail version (eg. Story Mode, DLCs, etc).

At the end of the day, not worth it. I'll stick with my PS3 version like other law abiding consumers do.

First of all here is pirate basics:

You can get all parts of a game no matter what.

The resolution is not limited...i have no idea where the hell u got that one.

They also crack the DLC.

Also, you just accused every person who uses a computer of not abiding by the law

Does that mean we should just ignore piracy in general? Developers don't. Which brings us to another problem PC gaming has - DRM. Some of the games were seriously injured by the draconian DRM behind them. Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed 2, BioShock. Or is that just another thing that should just be ignored as a PC con?

edinsftw, have you ever emulated a game? That's illegal too.

Only assasins creed 2 DRM is really bad...most you just have to activate. Ubisoft games dont sell well on PC because all of them are quite simple and dumbed down honestly...been goin downhill since the first prince of persia

So the bigger the install base, the smaller amount of copies sold? I really don't get that logic.

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

[QUOTE="badtaker"] PS2,wii,360 have huge piracy if you took a look at the number of consoles sold and this will be getting worse day by day. if 360 consoles sold 100 millions don't expect halo to sold 10-15 infact lt will sell much lower than thatbadtaker

So the bigger the install base, the smaller amount of copies sold? I really don't get that logic.

Wii has sold 73.97 million, 360 has sold 41.7, yet piracy on the 360 is much, much, much bigger than on the Wii. How do you explain that?

It was 3 installs per PC, I think. They dropped it a year later, though.

TerrorRizzing, but it's not as big as 360 piracy. Which is what I meant by saying his logic is flawed.

You want to know what's really stupid?

Bickering about miniscule differences in graphics between two consoles that are very very similar in power.

[QUOTE="edinsftw"]

[QUOTE="Sailor_Enlil"]

Can you point out where I said EVERY PC user? (eg Quake4)

Resolution limits - saw it in the readme on the torrent in TPB, and on emulatorforums discussing it.

And you just used the big-no-no word - CRACK. Developers and publishers aren't going to be happy with that.

Filthybastrd

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="skrat_01"]In regard to differences in development there are a large amount of factors. You don't simply pay royalties to a company like Microsoft, you have to go through their own approval processes. This is both a costly thing to do, and very time consuming; I have heard first hand accounts of approval processes absolutely killing the pace of game development. To make things even more joyful updates through the online networks also have to go through this approval process, and naturally the distribution networks completely change; you can't simply host a game yourself, instead you are always working through a middleman. Which is why the middle ground for console development is non-existent. You either have lower budget smaller arcade titles, or triple A titles; you rarely have titles than can strike a middle ground in terms of budget, production and distribution. Naturally with each generation development costs rise even further, next generation is going to be even worse; development kits rise in costs, percentages taken away grow, expenses in approval grow.SAGE_OF_FIRE

yea...and im pretty sure its gonna be better than every other one...if you seen the mods, you know cryengine 2 could make almost any genre of game

Because it's illegal, still. Even if EA charges 300$ per DLC, it's their own right. They produced the game, they decide how much money they're charging for it.

[QUOTE="TerrorRizzing"]

Indeed. Why else are some developers resorting to DRM?

Oh and I found this screenshot of someone trying to run hacked ArcadeBlazblue on his PC:

I wonder why the screen looks like that?

Do you know what supply and demand is? Sure, EA can charge three hundred for some content, but sicne no one will buy it, it's a pointless endeavor.

Piracy is wrong, sure. No one is debating that. The PC can emulate the other consoles, with a few exeptions, fairly well thus removing the need for the consoles to an extent...unless your game isn't able to be emulated yet.

But if you want more out of a developer or manufacturer, always buy it from them instead of lifting a digital liscense.
