I wish developers would stop sharing PC's best franchises with 360

As soon as this happens, they have to simplify the gameplay for the average 360 owner to actually want to buy the game, just like in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, Bioshock etc. That means the PC game also gets dumbed down and thus these games become almost completely inferior to their PC exclusive predecessors.

Too many PC games are getting Xbox'd, and now it is happening to Fallout. It NEEDS to STOP.

Worldwide the PC version outsold the 360 version.

I have no idea how or why.

O hell yes they loose money (Less chances of a new game or sequel) and i don't get to play those games. Your wish just sucks!!!Citizen_Zero

No he is right in some ways. Look at Crysis, in my opinion, this game is better than all of the multiplats I have played. Why? Because the game is different from them? that's not the only reason. The devs aimed to please us Hardcore PC gamers, the game is harder than any console port game I have played, and I love it, I'm playing on hard and it's actually a challenge. The graphics are just amazing, Call of Duty 4's kind of sucked and that's some of the best that consoles have put out. The controls and gameplay were designed solely for the keyboard and mouse. It just plays amazingly. All of this excludes Gears of War, because that port is awesome on the PC. Great controls, better graphics than it's console counterpart, Although Epic really knows how to cater to it's PC players. Except for multiplayer but that's because Microsoft are greedy $^@&*#es. I can see why Microsoft picked one of their main colors as green, it's because they feed on money.

Oblivion was pretty damn fun on PC don't get me wrong, but it also was really easy, had some problems like the inventory/level up menus and such. But mods fixed this so I guess it's not all bad, but Vanilla Oblivion wasn't the best.

Theres not much reason in owning a PC, PS3, and 360 if every if not most games are going to be multiplat, I couldn't care for developers wanting to earn money, good for them but it's not helping gaming as a hole if theres no choice between the consoles.

If most games are going to be multiplat now there may aswell be only 1 console.

No, they're doing it because people ain't buying your non-dumbed down games. It's not getting Xbox'd it's getting consumerized.

Remind me how well did the exclusive System Shock 2 sell.

More people enjoy it if it's simplified. Well look here , I wouldn't have bought Oblivion if it wasn't as user friendly as it is . The score they get from reviews are still high so it's not doing them any bad.

You do know, the OB has sold twice as many copies on the PC then on the Xbox (excluding online sales), right?

All games are being simplified, I agree though, Bioshock had no challenge or depth (LOL) whatsoever. I don't see why it has to have baby simple controls when it isn't that hard to make decent menu's that can be handled well with a controller. Not to mention the non existing difficulty level.Jelle87

I agree that Bioshock is a bit too simple but isn't the point of interactive entertainment to make what you will of it. The game has no death penalty, why not challenge yourself to avoid dying. It's sort of an oxymoron, the penalty for dying is that you don't come back, except you come back in this game. Seems like an oppertunity to create your own challenge rather than relying on the game to do so.

So get some mods. Oblivion alone has enough mods on PC that can change the game and GUI that it is completely different from the console versions.Corvin

Hermits your top selling games are Blizzard Chests and Sim expansion packs. If it weren't for consoles and their money making powah you wouldn't even get scraps like Bioshock and Oblivion to whine and complain about.

Pfff i can't believe You people don't care about game-quality.
The games suffer from porting.
Should porting stop? Imo not. But they should pay more attention to the individual versions of ports.
If porting becomes completely standard (or is it already?) i don't see it end anytime soon though.

LOL, your kidding right? OB sold WAY more on the PC then X360. People, NORTH AMERICA isn't the only market. In asia and europe, PC is dominant.

[QUOTE="Medjai"]

[QUOTE="t3hTwinky"]It would stop, but apparently developers really like money.froidnite

lol...the OB sold far more on the PC than on the 360...even in North America....and thats not even including Steam sales..which were huge since anybody with HL2 on their PC, already has Steam.

Because sarcasm is a vocal oriented way of expressing an opinion and is an extremely hard to detect in written form, on top of the fact you've written in the one medium where all the ingorant boobs of the world gather to express their otherwise insignificant opinions to other ignorant people.

TC this is nothing new, this has been going on for years.

Do any of these games look familiar?

Console gaming has been casualing PC games for years and don't even get me started on stuff like auto-aim and the lot. All this is happeneing while those on the boards actually praise these games and accuse the Wii for being too casual and destroying the industry.

[QUOTE="t3hTwinky"]It would stop, but apparently developers really like money.Medjai

I'm fairly certain that BioShock PC sold more copies of the Xbox version in Europe. The US isn't the only gaming market you know. You also have to realize that they don't count digital distribution, which is a HUGE factor in sales........

Its not that I don't doubt you but what's a good source for PC software sales and does STEAM release their sales figures?
