Heroes of the Storm (GS: 9/10). PC gets yet another AAAE

@AM-Gamer

So you agree it also has the most AAA/AA? Nice, you recognize the 1st place system every year. Movie-Games and only good 1 exclusive after 2 years isn't going to win anyone over to get a PS4.

Three genres? Moba, Sim, Strategy, MMO, CRPG, ARPG, Survival, FPS.

@walloftruth: RTS, MMO And Moba are all on consoles as well. They just don't excel in those genres. If you want to honestly tell me PC has anything that matches consoles in those genres that I listed in my previous post you are delusional.

@GhoX: it's my most hated genre...

First its multiplayer only, already turned off, and two it's a moba, a genre inspired by I I , the worst rats game warcraft3 (and that's from someone who loved warcraft2)

If this was a proper rats game I would of been interested... As no one makes them anymore. Moba genre is crowded. Tired of all PC games money going to this bullshit twitch kid genre.

They are real games, I just honestly dont give a sh*t about them

Fighting: Tekken, Soul Calibur, P4 Arena, Marvel vs Capcom, SSB and a couple of others

Action adventure: Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, GoW

TPS: Vanquish, Gears of War (1st on PC, the others arent), Uncharted

Platformers: Mario, DK, Jak and Daxter, R&C, LBP

You're missing a LOT if you only play on PC. And I play PC btw (steam ID: Vatusus)

Thing is there are games in those genres that are just as much fun to play or even better than those games on PC. SF is multiplatform. Ori and The Blind Forest and other numerous indie platformers are available on PC. And many more. It's not about exclusivity. It's about the availability of awesome games in various genres and in that case, owning a PC alone is very great compared to owning a console.

Reality check:
You have to buy over 3 consoles and handhelds to even touch all those games...

Better try 1 console vs PC....good luck

PS TEKKEN 7 on pc...lets throw PS4bone out of the window...

Wow, it is almost like PC is back. Almost.

Well it's still the best.

@MBirdy88: Street fighter is better on consoles due purely to the superior community and little advantage from pc. MKX also best on PS4, you may not get Tekken and your not getting Guilty Gear Xrd or Soul Caliber.

Lol and you just said Uncharted isn't among the best tps? Ratings say otherwise, you could also give it to TloU or gears of war 2 and 3 none of which are on PC. And Wtf is Vanguard? You mean Vanquished? Not on PC either. TPS on PC is a complete joke as all you have is TR which is multiplat.

Action Adventure? Nothing to compete with GoW, Bayonetta , or NG. Just more multiplats where the best never come to pc.

Stop playing dumb and acting like the PC competes in any of those genres because it doesn't.

You'd think 6 or so systems would have more genres than just PC. Duh.

But PC has more vs. any one system: MMO, W/CRPG, ARPG, cFPS, MOBA, RTS, TBS, SIM, SURVIVAL. So many genres, this is why it has the most AAA/AA.

@lordlors: No there's really not. There is no exclusive in any of those genres that matches consoles.

@RoboCopISJesus: Except I don't have to take 6 systems. I could take the PS4 alone to beat the PC in Action Adventure, TPS and Fighting.

so this went downhill fast

Heroes of the Storm is pretty fun, and is the only MOBA I play outside of my daily DOTA 2.

PC has more games in more genres than PS4 with a 80%+ score at metacritic and gamespot.

these games don't count.

Now movie games like The order, Until Dawn and Beyond Two Souls? Those count

@MBirdy88:

Consoles have more AA fighters that are not on PC that isn't a opinion that's a fact. They also have far more active community's that is also a fact.

In other words you are butthurt and can't form a logical argument so somehow your opinion is more valid then the millions of people that enjoy the game and the hundreds that rated it high. UC is one of the best tps period no amount of butthurt will change that. You praise the new TR yet it was a carbon copy of UC. Then you decide to just bash the entire genre because your platform of choice can't produce anything relevant in the genre.

You don't see me bashing HotS review for its ridiculously casual gameplay and joke of a F2P model.

PC can't touch consoles in those genres and your ridiculous opinion won't change that.

And 900 euros worth of console? The PS3/PS4 alone would trounce the PC in any of those genres.

As casual as HoTS is, it's not as casual as those PS4 genres you keep bragging about, except for maybe Fighter. Moba are more competitive/skill-based than 99% of console trash.

Oh and don't ignore me you filthy 2ndplacewarrior

lol, wtf

so salty

But where are the exclusive GOTY?

I'm very surprised especially after IGN gave Heroes of the Storm a 6.5

Blizzard further cementing itself as the most dominant developer in the world, on any platform.

No other developer can claim to control the gold standard title in three separate genres (MMO, RTS and ARPG) in addition to strong showings in another three genres (MOBA, Card playing, and the soon to be FPS).

I'm not surprised that Gamespot didn't decide to follow IGN's suit of pooping out a factually inaccurate "review" with false information and a highly biased reviewer who had been sprouting hate against the game well before release.

yeah blah, blah, blah it was a published review from what is one of the most well known gaming websites

@RoboCopISJesus: Stop the casual bullshit babble. TPS are hardly casual especially those that have a story as the average person is to stupid to pay attention to a video game story. LoL and HotS are the defenition of casual all the way down to there F2P model. And you call games like GoW , Bayonetta casual? Let me guess BB is casual now to?

As for the PC having more 80+ metacritic in more genres then any one console that's because you basically took subgenres and classified them as separate genres to suite your argument. The point stands in the genres that I enjoy and many others consoles are far stronger.

1. You must be trolling. You're comparing the casualness of one of the most competitive genres on the planet with the most easy/casual genres (movie-games and button mashers). There is no planet where casual QTE and B-Mashing games like GoW, Uncharted, TLOU, The Order, Killzone, etc. have even a fraction of the skill-cap/competitive level of MOBAS. Non-casual because of stories....are you brain dead? Fighters were your only argument, idiot.

2. Moba, (T/R)Strategy, FPS, SIM, (A/C/W)RPG, Survival, MMO. Happy? I condensed them for you. Still more than PS4.

3. No point stands, this thread isn't your personal blog. No one cares about your opinion, you were factually wrong about "teh 3 genres". PC has more genres and aaa/aa. MOBA has a higher skill cap than all console games except arguably 2-3 fighters.

Big fan of Blizzard games, but not a fan of MOBA. I'm might try the genre again for Blizzard alone.

It may be a MOBA, but the game unadulteratedly feels Blizzard. Everything from production value and design direction has bits of Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft mixed in it. Some of the heroes are very very fun if you were a fan of their original series (i.e. Zagara the Broodmother); they both feel and play like how they were in their original game.

Back from where

@IgGy621985: Back from the dead. You remember the time around 2006? Stone dead.

Stone dead by having more AA/AAA than both Xbox 360 and PS3 combined? Consolites sure have fancy imaginations for memories.

Nice. Downloading it now.

@RoboCopISJesus:

1: You just exposed yourself as Jankarops other alt. Mobas require very little skill. If controlling one character with 4 hotkeys is hard for you please never try a fighting game. The games are extremely casual and easy to play. The difference between good players and bad ones is good ones know how to communicate vs bad ones who continue to troll. But the actual skill in the game is pitiful.

2. The fact you just lumped Uncharted and Killzone in the same category shows what a cluless buthurt fanboy you are. They are not even in the same genre and the only thing they have in common is that they are PlayStation exclusive. UnC rarely has Any Qte and neither does KZ. It requires the same skill set as any shooter so your rabid hatred for everything PlayStation is laughable.

3. Your argument about the PC having more higher rated titles in more genres is nothing more then a lie. TPS, Fighting, Platformers and action adventure are all superior on consoles as the PC has no exclusives in those genres worth mentioning. Those are not opinions for a blog those are facts.

@AM-Gamer

1. MOBA actually has a pretty high skill cap, which is why it has the biggest tournaments for gaming ever. Period. It might not be as skilled as twitch shooters or RTS but its sure as hell higher than movie games, auto-aim kids shooters, and button mashers specifically designed for non-gamers. (Funny, I don't see any button mashers, madden rehashes, cod clones, or movie game on these lists. Hell, barely any console title period.) I honestly can't believe you're making this argument.

2. MC/GS shows 80%+ exclusives in Survival, RTS/TBS, PUZZLE, MOBA, Adventure, Shooter, CRPG, SIM the last 12 months alone. You were caught in a lie:

3. I never stated Fighters, Movie-Games, or Platformers were better on PC. I don't care for that kiddy throw away 1 week later shit. Please learn to respond to the correct poster, you seem hysterical and/or drunk.

@AM-Gamer:I think you should calm down.

Mobas require very little skill. If controlling one character with 4 hotkeys is hard for you please never try a fighting game. The games are extremely casual and easy to play. The difference between good players and bad ones is good ones know how to communicate vs bad ones who continue to troll. But the actual skill in the game is pitiful.

You've clearly never played Dota. Those 4 hotkeys aren't always easy to use, they're often very situational, the point of Dota is to make/seize those situations. Ever play Puck? She has an extremely high skill ceiling and has sometimes gamechanged entire championships.

The fact that you're even comparing fighting to MOBAs is absurd. High skill in moba is communication, strategy and knowledge of meta. High skill in fighting games is reflex and memory. It's also not really fair that you're taking one of PC's more laidback genres and comparing it to consoles foremost competitive front-runner. If I were to bring out RTS games this argument would not end well for fighting games.

The fact you just lumped Uncharted and Killzone in the same category shows what a cluless buthurt fanboy you are. They are not even in the same genre and the only thing they have in common is that they are PlayStation exclusive. UnC rarely has Any Qte and neither does KZ. It requires the same skill set as any shooter so your rabid hatred for everything PlayStation is laughable.

No.

No it fucking doesn't.

I can't believe he actually said God of War, Killzone, Uncharted, and Bayonetta have a higher skill level than Dota2 and Counter-Strike.

@AM-Gamer: Go home, you're drunk.

Wrong. TPS are huge jokes in terms of competitiveness and a stories don't make a game hardcore. In fact, most people consider story games the ultimate casual genre. I don't understand what you're definition of casual is.... you're comparing single player/laidback multiplayer games to games with actual competitive scenes... objectively that makes any and all mobas more hardcore than any console game aside from maybe fighters, which also have competitive scenes.

I agree. LoL and HotS are for babies. Dota 2 is the only good MOBA.

GoW casual: Yes, no one has every taken it's multiplayer seriously, it's extremely easy to play.

Bayonetta casual: Yes, it's a single player game?

Bloodborne casual: Dark Souls was not hardcore in the first place and seeing as bloodborne is way easier and its PvP sucks... of fucking course it's casual. Dark Souls PvP was at best a slightly more numerical rock paper scissors.

My friend, a game can't be hardcore/not casual unless it's players play it competitively and it requires a decent amount of skill. You need to understand this.

lol, AM-Gamer failure as usual. You're losing to jankar-alt, that's pretty bad

Who the **** is Jankaralt? I'm sick of that.

alt confirmed

1. Having the biggest tournament means jack shit for skill cap. All it means its extremely popular and has rich sponsors. Stop linking the size of the tournament with the amount of skill it takes they have nothing to do with each other.

2. You just made up more sub genres. Survival? Lmao? And all those CRPGS will be coming to consoles.

3.Movie- Games? Games with 90% gameplay are movie games now? You never played any of those games period so stfu with your babble. You can get far more then a week then every game I mentioned.

@AM-Gamer : Survival/Horror is a sub-genre? What genre do they belong to? What would you call A Machine for Pigs or DayZ?

Even if I took that out, It's still more than three. Moron.

@RoboCopISJesus This is getting good.

I never said anything about GOW having a higher skill cap jackass its a SP game. But its hardly for casuals.

Im not losing to anyone and you fail at life you sad troll . Contribute something or go back under your bridge.
