Myth? - Consoles games have lower standards than PC games. (in GS)

I am primarily talking about the Shooters/RPG genres (where both system excels).

Some of the games that have same date releases:

Bioshock - 9.0 on 360, and PC

Fallout 3: 9.0 on 360 and PC

Orange Box: 9.5 on 360 and PC

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare: 9.0 on 360 and PC

Oblivion: 9.3 on PC, 9.6 on 360

Games with different release dates:

GeoW: 9.6 on X360, 9.0 on PC (released 1 year later)

Mass Effect: 8.5 on 360, 9.0 on PC (near 6 months later)

Grand Theft Auto 3: 9.6 on PS2, 9.3 on PC (near 7 months later)

If GS rates Console games on a lower standard than PC, then the score gap of similar games would be more visible (ex. an AAA game on consoles would not be AAA on PC).

The PC has higher standards in the eyes of gamers. Many PC gamers have been very disappointed to see their games "consolized". This means that the games skip on intuitive features and more polished gameplay in favor of more user friendly gameplay and interaction.

check the reviews of oblivion on pc, 360 and ps3.

ull notice a paragraph in the PC review.

I think it does apply to some genre's. RTS for example, standards on PC are insanely high compared to console.

These days with FPS/RPG i'd say no, standards are the same. Saying that like someone said, players do have higher standards.

Also, don't just look at scores to determine the better versions. Read the reviews. GS claimed PC Oblivion was the best version, time has proved this with mods yet they scored it lower. Same goes for Fallout 3. Gears is another wxample, it scored lower yet they state its the best version on PC.

PC games has standards with other PC games, consoles with its particular console, and so on, so on.

Depends on the genre, the reviewer and the target audience.

On the PC, a console FPS ported over would probably not appeal at all to the playerbase and they'd consider it bad. Attempt the same thing with a PC FPS to console and console players would probably find it hard to get into or something.
