"18. Most of the 360's good games have lost their exclusivity to the PC. -no. gears of war, viva pinata, and lost planet. (any others?) look at the exclusive list in #17 and compare it to this one. does that look like most to you? it lost its highest scoring exclusive and two lower end AAEs. That's it."

It's not only that they're getting ported there, but it's the fact that they are shared in the first place....

Bioshock

Alan Wake

Halo 3 (inevitably)

Mass Effect (inevitably)

Splinter Cell Conviction

World in Conflict

I'm sure there's others I don't have here also.

I have a gaming pc and many 360 games are cheaper with more features on pc soI just buy the pc version. If you have a dustbunny pc then the 360 is okay.

Bioshock

Alan Wake

Halo 3 (inevitably) yea...but would u want three years like the last 2 to get the game?

Mass Effect (inevitably)not til the trilogy ends

Splinter Cell Conviction

World in Conflict

I'm sure there's others I don't have here also.

MikeE21286

Other than Splinter Cell those games to mainly made for the pc...but the devs decided that they should put on a console...that console ended up being the 360

So what they're being shared...I dont have a pc to work some of those games( hell I had a hard time working Sims 2...) and I dont have the money to get a new one to work them. I got my 360 as a present so basically all have to do is pay 60 bucks each to play them. That's why i want crysis to hit consoles.

halo3 and mass effect will be coming to the pc a year or a couple of years into the future lifespan of the 360, I think people dont go to gamestop and say "well im not gonna buy this console ill just wait 2 years so i can play this game on my pc"

Um no, the majority of people don't work that way.

Besides, I don't think the majority of PC owners will have cards to play the games at decent settings on. I mean, my friend is getting a laptop that's 1.6ghz and has a 128meg graphics card. I think those are "multimedia PCs".

Good luck with playing Crysis decently on those bud :lol:

Shouldn't be laughing at him.

The PC gets a handfull of the 360's best games, which of course is good for me (being a hermit), but not so good for a select group of cows who, for some reason, see this as some kind of twisted victory for the PS3.

You are ignoring the big issue, the big issue is that your beloved company Microsoft through its actions is reducing the amount of exclusives that are only for the x360 by also having them for the PC as well. Diminishing the point of getting a x360 because a PC can play nearly any game worth playing on the x360, is able to use the exact same controller as the x360, and hardware wise is more reliable than the x360. Aren't you the slightest bit perturbed by this?

People did it by waiting 1.5+ years for FEAR on the 360 and a whole year for Oblivion on the PS3. Why does it seem so strange that someone wont do it on the PC?

No one "waited" for F.E.A.R. I think some casuals even thought it was the first time they saw the game. PC gaming doesn't get the same advertising as console games.

As for waiting a whole year for Oblivion, those are Sony loyalists. Casuals have their own form of System Wars, and it was hilarious what they were saying even up 'til the launch:

"Man, I heard it can go dual screen and 120fps"

Yeah, as if you knew what you were talking about :lol:

Lol yeah you're right only the best one has and it will be a much better version. No problem there man.

I'll admit 360 is definitely separating itself from PC well now though. Quite a few unique games. Problem is that even still almost all the top games are on PC or will likely recieve a PC. But even that hardly matters at all since PC gaming is not mainstream.

You have to be pretty naive to think everyone gets the titles they want on the first system it comes out. If that were the case companies would find no incentive into releasing titles at a later date for another syste, but clearly they do.

Your excuses dont make sense.

The problem has always been with the fact that the Xbox brand was essentially the replacement for PC gaming. Everything about it was an attempt to get certain features of the PC experience down. However, as we are seeing with Japanese games and certain XBLA games, there are some things that just aren't coming to the PC. Moreover, if the PS3 keeps getting gimped or inferior third party titles then that means more added value on the Xbox brand. And, unlike last generation, when the PS2's exclusives overrode the importance of Xbox's superior multilpats, there are very few exclusives to go around.

So, of course, the burden is on Sony's machine. If it can deliver more than the Xbox 360 then owning a 360 will surely become a bad idea in the coming years. However, if the PS3 fails to perform, then it will be caught in the middle of the Wii, 360, and PC.

Of course, the PS3 is seeing strong Japanese support from critical developers. That might factor into the argument.

Sure I use Vista, but my computer isn't bound to using Vista, it can use whatever os I damn well please. The problem for me is that most games come out on windows, however Microsoft is steadily losing ground in the OS market as it is with the web browser market, as eventually developers will see this and more games will come out on OSX and Linux, which will cause even more people to drop windows, the more that drop windows, the less microsoft will tolerate the x360s inability to generate money. Aren't you the slightest bit concerned that Microsoft is driving developers onto an system where it is losing control?

XaosII

That's what I'm saying. And as the other guy said: I don't think 360 owners bought their consoles for F.E.A.R, nor did the PS3 owners buy it for Oblivion.

But you must realize PCs are a helluva lot different from consoles, in terms of their target audience and the perceptions of the casuals and the hardcore. Casuals are afraid to put anything on the PC that isn't WoW or the Sims (just generalizing) --basically, anything that looks to require a lot of grunt. Unless they are confident in their PC, or at least know it can do as well as their consoles, they will opt out for a console version of the game rather than the PC version (RTSs are still PC for them though).

I think System Wars has to realize casuals think a lot differently from most of us. PCs to them aren't even gaming machines, rather games are just a bonus thing for their computers. Consoles are a casual's main source for gaming, and even if the PC could do better, they wouldn't care.

Ok let's try a vague example. Kinda random.

What platform is associated with Halo?

Instantly, we think it's an Xbox game. We don't think Xbox and PC game. So you can imagine what they're like. You can talk to a casual about Halo and theycan be oblivious that it ever was on the PC. They're not as informed as us.

Not really. As long as I get the games I really don't care what happens to Microsoft.

And if devs of all sorts start thinking of OS X as an equal to Vista then bloody hell I can delete my Vista partition on this Macbook Pro and just stay OS X! Because it's just damn better!

Why, are you concerned or something? Why does it concern you?

Only 2 games has been ported to the PC ( lost Planet , Gears of War).....this is the stupidest wuote ver...because only 2 360 game have been ported.....everything esle that was pc/360 was either announced or its pC games ported to the 360....it's the stupid quote in Sw and it's even stupider thant people havent noticed that.

Of course this will be ignored and fanboys will go back to saying this stupid quote when it's not even true

You are ignoring the big issue, the big issue is that your beloved company Microsoft through its actions is reducing the amount of exclusives that are only for the x360. Diminishing the point of getting a x360 because a PC can play nearly any game worth playing on the x360, is able to use the exact same controller as the x360, and hardware wise is more reliable than the x360. Aren't you the slightest bit perturbed by this?

You love Microsoft too. You're using their OS.

Sure I use Vista, but my computer isn't bound to using Vista, it can use whatever os I damn well please. The problem for me is that most games come out on windows, however Microsoft is steadily losing ground in the OS market as it is with the web browser market, as eventually developers will see this and more games will come out on OSX and Linux, which will cause even more people to drop windows, the more that drop windows, the less microsoft will tolerate the x360s inability to generate money. Aren't you the slightest bit concerned that Microsoft is driving developers onto an system where it is losing control?

Ive noticed this a little too. Firefox is slow gaining more and more of the web browser market. Google, I THINK, is more popular that Live Search. Apple computers and OS's and Apple products in general are getting more and more popular. Oh man, this kid must be a phychic. :D

I can't be bothered getting multiple browsers for my Vista partition, but why does my Internet Explorer have Google search instead of Live Search? Was that through an update or something?

You have to be pretty naive to think everyone gets the titles they want on the first system it comes out. If that were the case companies would find no incentive into releasing titles at a later date for another syste, but clearly they do.

Your excuses dont make sense.

FrozenLiquid

That's what I'm saying. And as the other guy said: I don't think 360 owners bought their consoles for F.E.A.R, nor did the PS3 owners buy it for Oblivion.

But you must realize PCs are a helluva lot different from consoles, in terms of their target audience and the perceptions of the casuals and the hardcore. Casuals are afraid to put anything on the PC that isn't WoW or the Sims (just generalizing) --basically, anything that looks to require a lot of grunt. Unless they are confident in their PC, or at least know it can do as well as their consoles, they will opt out for a console version of the game rather than the PC version (RTSs are still PC for them though).

I think System Wars has to realize casuals think a lot differently from most of us. PCs to them aren't even gaming machines, rather games are just a bonus thing for their computers. Consoles are a casual's main source for gaming, and even if the PC could do better, they wouldn't care.

Ok let's try a vague example. Kinda random.

What platform is associated with Halo?

Instantly, we think it's an Xbox game. We don't think Xbox and PC game. So you can imagine what they're like. You can talk to a casual about Halo and theycan be oblivious that it ever was on the PC. They're not as informed as us.

Speculation and baseless assumptions.

You mean to speak for the casual market as though you know how it works in and out? I think System Wars users need to realize they arent market analysts. Independant of everything you said, you still didnt say anything to actually justify why would a company release out a title on a seperate platform at a later date if they felt no one would buy it or eve recoup the losses of porting?

By your assumptions there would never, ever, ever exist a console to PC port that comes at a later date. Do i need to remind you of all the titles as of recently?

Not really. As long as I get the games I really don't care what happens to Microsoft.

And if devs of all sorts start thinking of OS X as an equal to Vista then bloody hell I can delete my Vista partition on this Macbook Pro and just stay OS X! Because it's just damn better!

Why, are you concerned or something? Why does it concern you?

Nope, if it doesn't concern you, it doesn't particularly concern me

It's not only that they're getting ported there, but it's the fact that they are shared in the first place....

Bioshock

Alan Wake

Halo 3 (inevitably) yea...but would u want three years like the last 2 to get the game?

Mass Effect (inevitably)not til the trilogy ends

Splinter Cell Conviction

World in Conflict

I'm sure there's others I don't have here also.

killaj2786

Other than Splinter Cell those games to mainly made for the pc...but the devs decided that they should put on a console...that console ended up being the 360

So what they're being shared...I dont have a pc to work some of those games( hell I had a hard time working Sims 2...) and I dont have the money to get a new one to work them. I got my 360 as a present so basically all have to do is pay 60 bucks each to play them. That's why i want crysis to hit consoles.

You dont know if Halo 3 will take 2-3 years this time, it could well be the next Gears shocker ... I think Microsoft would of learnt from the mistake with Halo 2 ;)

Yes, because market analysts are always right. Market analysts have perfectly predicted the outcome of console wars and all the like. They're the ones with all the facts and figures correct? Market analysts have perfectly found which stories to tell in the film medium which will generate the most money. Do you know what market analysts have found?

300, Transformers, Grindhouse. Underworld, Blade, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Then they b**** and whine why they're not getting another 'Titanic' box office record. Apparently these so called "market analysts" have forgotten that there are people that aren't males aged 17-25. There are grandparents, young children, and females.

Then a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl comes out and everyone's surprised at how well it's doing compared to the Matrix and Lord of the Rings. Lame.

Those are your market analysts buddy. It's the same in every form of entertainment and they're still scratching their heads as to why they're not doing so well.

(If you can't figure out why I made that analogy concerning movies then I don't know what to say about you).

Who the hell would've known the Wii would trump both the 360 and PS3 by a margin? We weren't saying that before the current gen started. Now we're eating our own words. Enough about my rant on market analysts. Some of them; most of them are incredibly ignorant.

Hmm... why would they release a title on a separate platform at a later date? That's an easy one. Porting. Even easier when F.E.A.R came out before the 360 launch, hence it could not release simultaneously. Why did Oblivion come out later? Same thing, as well as Bethesda having to optimize it for PS3 hardware. I thought that was common sense? Why did R6V come out on the 360 first? To my knowledge, the 360 was the lead SKU, hence the later 'bad' port to the PC, and the later PS3 release.

Wait... why did I have to explain ports to a hermit?

halo3 and mass effect will be coming to the pc a year or a couple of years into the future lifespan of the 360, I think people dont go to gamestop and say "well im not gonna buy this console ill just wait 2 years so i can play this game on my pc"

I agree

People did it by waiting 1.5+ years for FEAR on the 360 and a whole year for Oblivion on the PS3. Why does it seem so strange that someone wont do it on the PC?

cause people didnt buy the ps3 for oblivion or the 360 for fear

And PC Gamers didnt buy PC's for Halo 3 & Mass Effect? Same difference ... they are bonuses.

Basically, i don´t care if 360 games are released for the PC as well. That´s why i have my 360. And the other reason: my PC is way beyond old. It´s a fossil. I´m amazed the hard drive hasn´t busted yet, or that i haven´t gotten the "blue screen of death" (supposedly frequent), but either of them would be great. Time to ditch this piece of crap i´m ashamed to call a PC. I´m sorry if i went too far, but i just hate this PC.
