Is there a single genre left on console that isn't better played on a PC?

It staggers me how many people in this thread don't seem to understand what it's about at all....actually it doesn't stagger me that much, I kind of expected it from SW :(.

Ofc. is SW. A good share of hermits actually own consoles, such as myself, but is only the bias consolite people that never tried pc would make up all these excuses or denials.

The only ones that bash pc that also owns them are trolls anyway which is rare but they are floating around.

[QUOTE="OhSnapitz"]Actually I believe you miss understand my point.. :| ..how are those genre's better played on the PC (regardless of what input you use)?lundy86_4

Your point was clear. As was the point in the post, that you quoted.

To answer your question it depends on the end-user. However, when Pannic stated "Fighters?" GhoX assumed it was due to the consoles having controllers, thus he said controllers can be used on PC (thus PC fighters can be used with controllers).

Don't b*tch at me, because you misunderstood, and wasted time posting pictures.

Exactly! Thank You.

Shuddup.

1. There are no arcade sticks for PC

2. If you're gonna get a gamepad for PC, you might as well play it on a console.

3. If I had to use K&M, you know what I'll do? I'll drive to the nearest arcade and play it there.

Show me.

Show me a stick for the PC which is widely marketed. You have to either build your own, or buy one from some dude on some obscure website who does it as a hobby. Even if you did find one for the PC, it won't be anywhere close to the quality of Madcatz or high end Hori ones.

Good arcade sticks MUST come with Sanwa buttons. Oh yeah, and Japanese don't give two fu*** about PC gaming, and so they don't make em'

In practice, there is no fighting game on the PC which has better framerate or graphics than their console counterpart. The ones which could be better on the PC....don't actually get ported to the PC. The ones which do get ported, look and play the same, performance wise, as the console version.

Arcade sticks are just as speciality as flight stlicks and racing wheels. The only advantage console had was their gamepad's ubiquity, which PC now has (because all new controllers are just USB devices. Own a console? Your pc now has a gamepad.)

(bolded) if it isn't natively supported on PC, xpadder can almost certainly make it work.

Now gtfo.

Fighters, sport games (at least action-based ones), action games of Bayonetta variety and all sorts of party/kinect/Move games are all better on consoles.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"]Sport games...Jankarcop

not really Fifa's stil playing catchup and i've heard 13 is using an older Player impact engine, not to mention the online components never seem as busy on the PC from what i've heard.

PES was good back in the day on PC, i loved playing that at high school over the network but Fifa's always been a step out of touch with its lead platforms.

Did you actually read and understand the OP? I thought not...

Oh i got it. And I agree fully. That's what I was getting at. The only games that are best played on consoles are those that aren't available on PC.

Lol. Learn2internets. Any controller that can plug into a console can be made to work on a PC, usually with zero effort, worst case scenario, with like 5 minutes of effort.

[QUOTE="jhcho2"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Fighting sticks can be used on PC too, therefore the platforms are pretty much equal. Since the TC is talking about all fighting games available on all systems anyway. The PC would win in any regard then because it can use any input method that a person could want for pretty much any game.the_bi99man

That's true. Besides Sony's own Six-Axis Dualshock 3 and other first-party peripherals, most 3rd-party PS3 peripherals work with the PC as well. That holds true for my kid's Logitech racing wheel (PC/PS3) and my Power A PS3 controller (360 layout).

Dude.. The Hermits (Once again) step in with their elitist attitudes about the "superiority" of the PC and it's inputs.. You guys get counted with games not available on the PC (regardless of the iputs used) and claim people don't understand. Who the hell cares if a genre is "better played" on the PC if there's only 1-2 games to take advantage of that input.

That's like saying because the PS3 has KB/M inputs.. that all PC games are better played on the consoles.

I think most people on PC play them with a keyboard, which sucks a little for them.

A gamepad with a good D-pad should obviously be the bare minimum for those but I don't think all PC gamers have one...

those that don't have a gamepad likely don't play fighters on the PC

why would you buy a fighter for PC if you don't have a gamepad?

It's not like gamepads for PC are as expensive as console gamepads anyway

You would be surprised how many PC gamers were asking if keyboard control is good enough for Street Fighter IV when it came out... (even on "professional" fighting forums)

There are some serious tears in this thread, quite funny really. Is it so hard to admit that there would be no reason, if those conditions artificially created by the manufacturers didn't exist, to game on console? The PC could do all of the things that a console could but the reverse is not true. Games already exist that simply aren't possible to do on console because of the limitations in control method, hardware and software.

I get that they do exist, I get that you can't play all games on PC and I get that consoles have good games on them. That is not the point of this hypothetical situation.

Not really relevant. Some people might make the wrong choice and play with a keyboard but the reality is they don't have to, they made a choice to. Anyone serious about fighting games would know they could use any controller they wanted.

SF4 looks so much better on PC it's unbelievable. With such low requirements, you can easily crank anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering... the game looks so clean. PC also has the least amount of input lag, comparable to the arcade version. PS3 has the most (approx 2 frames of input lag).

I can only imagine what Tekken Tag 2 would look like. Higher res, better textures, no dropping of res when more than two characters are on the screen at the same time.. that technique looks like garbage.

Since the PC can use a gamepad, the answer is a resounding "Nope."

Not all PS3 games support mouse/kb controls. Pretty much every PC game these days supports gamepads, as well as mouse/kb, and those that don't can be made to with any of the various programs that exist for just that purpose.

The topic is about better played, not the selection of games. No, there is absolutely no genre on consoles that are not better played on a PC. The hardware is simply light years ahead to sustain a fluid framerate and a much higher graphical fidelity, and supports practically all known controllers for your pleasure.

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]Fighters?princeofshapeir

Nope got SF4 for PC 360 and PS3. Played the least on PC. Has no community. Plays fine if you have an arcade stick however I did have some V sync problmes. Whit Vsync on you get some input lag which isunexceptable for serious fighting players and whit v sync off you get a lot of screen threading which can be distracting wen you need to link tight combos. Also its a freaking games for windows live game which is just "AVGN vocie" AAAAAS.

Oh yeah and I had some issues whit hooking few fightsticks and making them work on the PC.

Sf4 is best on 360 atm for 2 reasons.

1.Xbox live has less net lag for online play.

2. PS3 has a very slight but still noticeable to experienced fighter players hardware imput lag (not just SF4,everything. menus/games).

Just FYI.

Bottom line.Most fighterts dont come to PC and those that do arent better by any means. Might look better but no serious fighing fan gives 2 sh*ts about graphics. Its kinda like the SC2 scene, a lot of the best players would play on the lowest settings. I've had quite some issues whit SF4 on PC and would go whit the console version any day.Actual playing community, no anying bugs and issues.

you can plug KB and mouse into PS3. So if you want to go all hypothetical...exactly what advantage PC has controls-wise?

AdrianWerner

Wider variety of controllers (pads), racing wheels, mice (better software) and the ability to use any other type of custom controller you can imagine.

There is no genre that is not "at least the same", better, or far superior to play on the PC

BUT

There are some games you should play on the console like fighting games simply because the fanbase is like 10,000 times larger on the consoles.
