Who here doesn't know the PC has the most AAA exclusives? Hermits constantly mention it, and I think we get it by now.

Nothing on that list really interests me at all. I don't even know if I'll get Spore. I'll look into it more.

Edit: Oh, wait... I'll fo' sho' get Left 4 Dead for my PC, and I didn't know that Gran Turismo 5 was coming to the PC.

If you really want to know, just look at my rated games in my profile and that will give you a good idea.

I'm a Wii gamer. I like titles such as Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, No More Heroes, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and a lot more games.

I'll word what I meant better: I'd most definitely play STALKER: Clear Sky if given the opportunity, but I won't lose any sleep if I never play that game. I don't even think my PC can run it.

You put Gran Turismo 5 on there.

Take it off. Rumors or "we're considering, possibly, a PC port," do not equal official announcements.

On another note, Dawn of War and Starcraft 2 pwn all.

But a lot of the multiplats you mentioned will be garbage...

Every Capcom console-to-PC port....come to think of it, any Capcom game that wasn't developed first on the console in question (big exception....Xbox 360) is garbage. Their ports are just criminally bad.

Just remove Gran Turismo 5 already and acknowledge that DMC4 and Mass Effect aren't exactly going to benefit from "dedicated servers" and "free maps."

Mods are only a bonus on online games are games with garbage singleplayer that need mods like Oblivion.

Anyway, a multiplat is a multiplat, mods or otherwise. How about you crack mods up as a bonus for PC and not for the individual games developed on PC?

Would you, in all seriousness, say Lost Planet is better on PC versus 360 because it had mods?

I just said that those titles didn't interest me. I know that a lot of people think Starcraft 2 is the second coming of Jesus Christ, but he already came again under the name of "Super Mario Galaxy" for me.

For me.

Painballz, if PC is so great, why do you always have to make up lies in your threads to stretch the truth?

Is it because you aren't confident in its success? Are you insecure? Why are you always trying to prove it, but add little lies?

I am referring to how you cleverly put in this new game called "Grand Turismo 5".

Hmmmmmmmmmmm sounds so similar to the PS3 exclusive, "Gran Turismo 5"......

:roll:

I'm surprised you didn't have "Metal Gear Solids 4" and call that a PC game...

Ummm, game's suck if they don't have mods.

I mean, seriously. Halo series, MGS series, Mario games...no mods, they're all CRAP.

Also, they all sell HORRIBLY because they have no mods. They're failure franchises that no one buys because they have no mods.

No mods = game is no fun, period.

so paying a couple hundred more for a PC is entirely worth some user created content, maps, and "real HD"? i'll be honest when I say that the PC does have these things, but most people will buy and judge a game based off of what's out of the box. in my opinion, the only games that had really enjoyable mods/extra content worth getting the PC version for would be Jedi Academy, Oblivion, and HL2. everything else is just fine the way it is

Because consoles are aimed towards casual people, while the PC its self is aimed towards people with a degree of knowledge regarding hardware and software. Consoles don't have to carry that burden, so that alone makes them more acceptable. Also something people need to stop doing is smashing all the consoles together to compete against PC. PC is a single platform just like the Wii, 360 and PS3.

yes, and I use my PC for other things more than gaming. this PC I'm using was bought for the purpose of doing those things, and gaming is more than anything, a small bonus on the side.

PC is aimed towards casuals much more than consoles. For one PC are not dedicated game machines, and 90% of WoW owners only know how to play that one game for example.

Consoles go together because they are in competition, PC just likes to butt-in and take someones seat.

I don't know, have you ever asked your self the question is paying 2x more for the same game worth it? I in most cases always pay $29.99 and below for my PC games while you have to pay $59.99. Here are a few things to consider, when you say consoles you are lumping all 3 of them against PC. So you might as well add up the price for all 3, which is well above a decent gaming rig. And second, after you add up the cost of accessories and games over the course of time. It costs WAY more than PC gaming by far. Think about it man, $59.99 per game vs $29.99 per game. If I brought 10 PS3 games during the course of the year then thats $600+tax. If I brought thats $300+ tax. Sadly, most people don't even want to see this reality.

You do know PC's can do more than game right?

bulletsword

yes, and I use my PC for other things more than gaming. this PC I'm using was bought for the purpose of doing those things, and gaming is more than anything, a small bonus on the side.

Why not have it all in 1 package

PC is aimed towards casuals much more than consoles. For one PC are not dedicated game machines, and 90% of WoW owners only know how to play that one game for example.

Consoles go together because they are in competition, PC just likes to butt-in and take someones seat.

You have things in reverse, PC is the platform where its not a "do it for you". But you need a degree of knowledge to have things shaped to your liking. Most people don't understand about hardware such as videocards etc. Most don't even know what type of ram their motherboard uses or how much it has. With consoles that reality isn't there. You just buy it, buy a game and insert and play. That's it. There is no complexity only simplicity and if it wasn't simple then it wouldn't sell. You want to know why everyone lumps consoles together vs PC? Because PC beats every single one individually.

[QUOTE="Vaan7"]lol, even if PC had MGS4 as an exclusive, it still wouldn't help it from being constantly overshadowed by the consoles.Vaan7

Because consoles are aimed towards casual people, while the PC its self is aimed towards people with a degree of knowledge regarding hardware and software. Consoles don't have to carry that burden, so that alone makes them more acceptable. Also something people need to stop doing is smashing all the consoles together to compete against PC. PC is a single platform just like the Wii, 360 and PS3.

No, PC is an open platform with the most hardcore of games

well, for one, there aren't very many games relevant to my interests and instead of using money to upgrade my computer, i can spend that same money on a console and get the games I actually want

Lost Odyssey, GTAIV, Ultimate MK3 (via XBLA), Eternal Sonata, Assassin's Creed (at the time before PC version was announced), Soul Calibur IV, RE5, Operation Darkness, Ikaruga, and various others that may possibly be available on PC as well, but I can save myself the trouble of spending more to upgrade.
