[QUOTE="adamosmaki"] Let me clarify it to him. You can install Win7 on MAC and play every Pc game on MAC It has the exact same x86 architecture with any Dell/HP/Acer pc it has similar and compatible components os its a PC ( god that is the 100th time about this subject lately )Aboogie5

Either Little Big Planet or Modnation Racers.

I think having to have a whole separate OS on your computer is jumping through hoops. If some hacker worked voodo magic and was somehow able to get Halo reach to play on a 360, would you consider that game to now be multiplat?deangallop

You dont need a program to made it work and honestly if anyone cant figure out how to install Win7 they should go back to elementary ( since the whole process its pretty much automatic and all anyone has to know is reading skills and an AI of at least 60 )

No not really, because that's part of the PC experience. You know that you'll have to do that and it's not confusing or something you really have to think about. Installing another OS on your MAC is something extra, you have to buy a whole nother OS and have to use a program to get it to work. It's not something someone who isn't considered computer savy would be willing to go through. deangallop

i'd do anything to play Mario on my PS3. i could care less abut Mass Effect 2, just give me Super Mario Galaxy 2, dammit! :cry:

[QUOTE="deangallop"][QUOTE="musicalmac"] Do you consider booting your computer and installing a game "jumping through hoops?"adamosmaki

I wouldn't mind having The Witcher or Crysis on my consoles.

Valkyria Chronicles 2!!!

It would be a computer sure but it wouldn't be a gaming computer, just like a MAC isn't typically a gaming computer.

People have to have Windows 7 in order to enjoy most computer games released, a lot of people do.

but most MAC users buy a MAC because they like apples interface and features, and most of them do not end up installing an extra OS, and if they want games they have to buy another OS (one that cost $200) and install it.

what most people do is completly irrelevent. If its possible, its possible.

So I pose to you a question I asked earlier, if somebody made it so PS3 owners could play Halo reach on their PS3 with maybe a hacked firmware update or something would Halo Reach be considered multiplatform?

[QUOTE="cobrax25"]

[QUOTE="deangallop"] Most MAC users don't have the extra OS installed and therefor cannot play most PC games released without having to buy a fairly expensive separate OS and using bootcamp to get it to work, so it's still jumping through hoops. and if the vast majority of MAC users can't play most PC games it should be considered as a wholly different system.

I'm tired of arguing here.

I just think it's kind of funny how PC gamers on this fourm are allowed to clump together MAC and Microsofts platform togeather and just call their system "the gaming PC". Most people have either a Microsoft PC or an Apple PC. Console owners are not allowed to clump togeather the 360, Wii, and PC to make "the ultimate console" and have it be a viable recognized SW platform.

The fact that you are able to get a PC game to work on a MAC (actually your not really) doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered a seperate system.

I was going to say starcraft 2, people on here say it's exclusive, but since it's on MAC also it's multiplat by SW rules (if it's on more the one platform it's multiplat.)

Oh wait MAC's are not seen as a different system then the PC on SW, I should go buy a couple of PC games and see if they work on MAC computers.

Sw rules contridict themselves, that's how broken they are.

Adding a MAC in the equation is just political correctness. SC2 is exclusive.

1.) A computer can play a PC game as long as they have a windows OS installed, but a computer with only a Apple OS can not.

2.) It was an example to show you that a PC with a MS OS is different from one with Aplle's OS, I don't actually think all 3 platforms should be combined into one super console.

3.) The fact that you can run any OS on that computer doesn't mean that a MAC and MS PC are not different. A PS3 inside an XBOX design is still a PS3 and not an XBOX 360(another example/hypothetical.)

i know dude and i spend 20 minutes that i'm never getting back :evil:

but since we are on the subject games i wish were on my system of choice i would really love to see bayonetta and Gran tourismo 5/forza 3

civ 5 on 360 or ps3, i guess :P

i already have all the consoles. but no pc :P

i want reach on the ps3 thats only game i want from xbox

i'd like the total war series on consoles..lawlessx

I've seen people (unabashed Fanboys generally) on SW always going on about the amazing exclusives on their particular platform that they have nothing but praise for go on to bash other platforms exclusives simply because they're not available on their PS3 or 360 or whatever.

They could be amazing games but they pretend that they have no interest. Say Halo Reach was released on PS3 or PC :o, alot of the people who said " Oh, Halo is generic and for noobs anyway, we don't need it on the PS3 " would go out and buy it. And probably love it. Exclusives are often the most targeted titles for bashings and comparisons.

In other words, what titles would you love to play on your 360/PS3/PC even though you might have said that its " textures were a bit poor " or " they're really milkin it!!1! " just in order to downplay it even though you were secretly interested(Jealous even?! :P).

So I was wondering, after all the "KZ2 is bland" and "Alan Wake=floppage" what titles from other platforms would you love to have on your own? And for the sake of the discussion Wii titles can be included and we'll assume that all platfroms have the same technical capabilities e.g. Crysis can be easily rendered on the 360.

I personally would love to see a bit of Heavy Rain and MGS4 on the 360. And Crysis ( just to see what all the fuss is about :P).

.....GO!

Or ya know he could keep posting whatver he wants as long as it doesn't break the TOS. btw does this whole "you don't like it? then leave!" mentalitly really encourage discussion?

I think it would be better if we evaluated these so called "rules" by discussing them.
