[QUOTE="Arach666"][QUOTE="locopatho"] Eh it'll probably come to consoles eventually. All the biggest and best PC FPS games do. Quake, Doom, Call Of Duty, all the Half Life games, all the Deus Ex games, Far Cry, Crysis, Metro 2033, etc :Plocopatho
The terrible state that most of those were released on consoles though,that´s a whole new issue. :P And not all games from those series were ported to consoles lol.

Eh some of them weren't great. The console version of Far Cry was horrible for example. But I've played the Half Life games, COD4, and Deus Ex on both consoles and PC and see no difference beyond graphics and using a controller (which I prefer anyway). Still the same great games. Not all of them were ported but they all eventually went console :P Expecting Stalker any day now :P

All of those are pretty horrible.. Black Mesa: Half Life And Half Life 2: Cinematic makes any other version ridiculously outdated, practically completely obsolete. Deus Ex with my list of mods trumps any other version. And God knows how many graphical and gameplay improvements have ben created for Doom and Quake these days by modders.

And regarding STALKER, if any entry from the series may get ported, they'll probably not include the Complete mod, which would make it a horrible port aswell.

i see, had an image of those Virtual reality things with wires and clumsy looking stuff attached to every part of your body.

rumblepacks in headsets have been around for years now.. i think the earliest was 2006 but there were ones before that that were mainly for the novelty and served no practical purpose. they actually made audio worse then

I read that, but I don't agree. If that were true, the PS3 would have sold 100 million units like the PS2 did.

Console are for Action adventures, JRPG, and fighting games. PC are FPS, RTS and WRPGs. then theres other genres that can be good on both. like stealth, racing, action games. console bieng console is good. but when it try to be PC. its not good. thus games got dumbed down. in other words. PC are for west and European games and Console are for Japanese Games.

360 is for everything.

PC is for browsing, email, facebook and WoW.

Everything worth playing is already on consoles.

If you liked Stalker, then that's your niche, but everything that devs THINK will sell gets ported to consoles. They didn't port it because they wouldn't get their money back from sales.

Having a PC at this point is completely unnecessary and pointless, beyond owning a laptop or something.

Well it can be traced back to 2009, when Ms decided to drop core and go casual to chase the Wii's pot of gold. Last in exclusives 3 years running, 67% of retail exclusives casual Kinect(lol) garbage in 2011, it's been an atrocity to the core gamer. Shame on you MS.

How clueless consolists are. Only on PC can you find racing sims.
