In the last 12 months PC only has 2 AAAE - Sims 3 & a WOW Expansion

pcs line up as been so bad this year . I feel i need to buy a console. this has been a very boring year for pc . yet everyone still is talking about crysis

and despite that it still has more high scoring exclusives this generation than all three consoles combined.

This ^^

Isn't it something like 12/13 AAAE exclusives, plus a boat load more AAE and AE.

Wait. Why do expansions count for PC, but not consoles? :?xsubtownerx

What expansion would that be?

dont look at the excuses/reasons, just look at the result, which in turn counts for gamers.

Shattered Horizon is fun... and it looks great, it's still not reviewed by gamespot, but I don't expect less then AAE status.

And what does quantity have anything to do with quality?

But, even you will agree that getting 15-20+ games(if they are good) is a good thing.

i said "this generation". that's the number of games since the 360 launched.

[QUOTE="DeadMagazines"] Use some common sense please. If the PC gets 15-20+ games over consoles per year because of reasons listed above, do you not think its reasonable to expect there to be more of a chance that some of them score high? Again..common sense..DeadMagazines

If your point is only about why people are surprised then who is getting surprised? Rather, given the title of this thread in SW, some people are just pointing out a good point of PC that is max number of AAAEs.

I'd rather have Empire: Total War than any AAAE on the consoles within the past year.Stevo_the_gamer

Really?

That game was released in a semi-finished state,even after numerous patches problems still persist and as a finally slap in the face CA have dropped support for the game.

We were just beta-testers!

Yet, the console who gets 40 games doesn't mean he will get more good games then the console that only gets 20 games.

So, more games doesn't equal to having more good games.

Nah Medieval never had as many issues.And it definetly never shipped in the same half-ass state that ETW did imo.

Don't get me wrong the game is absolutely epic,moreso than just about any game on a console but it had too many issues for me to fully enjoy and is still in a far from finished state even now. :(

PC hardware changes faster the consoles...

Nah? Woah. You didn't get the game at launch then because it was definitely broken in some areas, yet I've put over 200 hours into it. And I'll still throw the game in once in a while to play some. I wouldn't call Empire "half-assed", the damn game did plenty well; rest assured, the game sure had its issues but the pros far outweighed the cons for me. But again, when you have a game as BIG as Empire, such issues are bound to occur. You should glad that CA has been working deligently to fix those issues with all these patches.

Thats my point though

The game still isn't fully fixed and now CA have dropped support for the game.

Yep thanks CA.

It has been slow there is no doubt. Though a lot of the big PC exclusives come next year.

Xbox 360?

It doesn't help that Gamespot are way behind on their PC reviews, either.Planeforger

Yes. Many PC titles have flopped recently. At least that means lots of AAEs.

Ok I admit I was wrong they aren't dropping support right away,(heard that rumour from someone,should've verified it)but the state the game was released in and the problems that still persist I think its laughable that official support will effectively cease in a few months time.

I paid alot of money for this game,I thought that 9 months on from release it would be free from the bugs and glitches that plagued it from the beginning and they would've been sorted by now.I thought CA would have bust a gut to get it right but they havent.Its cool that you obviously love the game and can ignore these flaws but I can't,especially when I hand my hard earned money over for an unfinished game.

Let me tell you I think its a really good game,but for one reason or another its just a crying shame it never reached the heights that it could have,

Well I might as well pack it in, Gamespot not reviewing my PC games? No point to it anymore. Yandere

I was just being sarcastic, I don't care about reviews, the PC is a great system.

Are we forgetting something .. oh yeah AAE, Pc had 13 this year, and PS 3 - 1 :lol: and 360 - 0 :lol: :lol:

naval

Are you serious? That's sad.

Consoles = pwned.

PS: To the OP, PC users get the real version of Dragon Age: Origins, 2009's Game of the Year.

I was only wondering because PC Gamers think they have the best games but what recent games have they got that compete with the games only found on consoles, like Halo ODST, MGS4, Uncharted 2, etc.. Oh wow they have slightly better graphics on multiplats.. That justifies the $2000+ price tag of their gaming pc!KingBungie

This is the true Topic post. PC gamers frankly don't really care about AAAE's as console gamers do. They play the games they find that fill their interests such as, Arma 2, which is a military simulator and is damn good one at that. Also PC gamers haven't got bored with old games like COD4 because of all the mods and custom maps that are churned out constantly.

I'd be interested in knowing how many AAA\AA exclusives consoles have received after you take away all the Sony/Microsoft bough exclusives.

The number of games that 'choose' to be exclusive to a system is a good indication of the platforms strength within the games market. If console users are going to be critical of the number of 3rd party PC exclusives; then perhaps they should count their own 3rd party exclusives?

Either way, as a whole PC still has a significant lead this generation.

This is probably the worst year I have ever seen for the pc.

The best shooter was on the ps3 and the holiday release list is abysmal.
