PC has no AAAA Game in the History of Gaming

I just noticed that. Not only this Gen but all the whole time. I wonder why?

This can only mean that PC Gaming is doomed

PC standard are forever rising? Maybe thats the reason.

Incorrect, and why do you think "major" games are the only ones that can get AAAA?

Because PC gaming is dead! :|

:P

Because PC games are horrible. No one takes PC seriously anymore and console games are inherently better because PC sucks.

No idea. Still, it gets a plethora of AAA's, AA's and A's to tide it over :P

guess this mean PC gaming sucks :|lawlessx

Ohhhhhhh...

neither does ds or the psp

The majority of PC gaming websites often don't even use their highest possible score, because they are awaiting a legendary holy grail to fall into their laps or something. They also hold PC games to much higher standards than most console review sites. It has absolutely nothing to do with the games on PC not being good, no, they would probably get AAAA scores all the time on consoles, its just there are no "generations" to separate games from one another, thus nnothing to negate past standards: i.e. a brand new PC shooter will be compared to Doom, while on consoles, a 360 shooter will probably not be compared with a PS or SNES shooter.

This must mean that PC gaming is clearly inferior to using consoles for gaming.

Amirite or amirite?

GTA IV is on PC and is far superior.

PC Gaming has been there for a very long time (not only this Gen) but it hasn't got an AAAA game while PS3/Xbox360/Wii had got an AAAA game and these consoles were just released this Gen.

and yet pc is the only platform that is 30 years old and still going strong and every gen has the most high rated games this gen alone 12AAAE and 79AAE But in the end who the heck cares if the Pc hasnt got an AAAA or if the number of AAA games on consoles are less. Play what you like and each platform has its strong and weak points. Scores in gaming sites are for fanboys in system wars only. The only good think about reviews is that you get an idea what the game is about

Yup, strange eh?

Ahhh well, in the lomng run, the difference between a 9.5 and 10 isn't all that much.

Because an 8 for a PC game is equivilent to a 9.5 or 10 for a console game. You know it's true.

It couldn't possibly be because of higher standards.

It's not like the PC has more quality games than the consoles. It's not like it won EVERY year of this gen. I mean, totally ridiculous... amirite?

Because your games are so god **** cheap!!!

While we debate whether or not to spend $60 on one game or another, you guys can buy 10 games for that price and not pick and choose. Well, that's exagerated, but the steam sales are really great.

Yet, i can think of 100 PC games that are equally amazing as any AAAA game on consoles

Whispered World is also better than 99% of console AAAA games for me

They aren't included because the people who edit it don't want to include them. :|

Actually, I'd prefer a lot of 8.0-8.5 PC games over 9.0-9.5 console games. There seems to be so much vitality, depth, and creativity in the more obscure corners of PC gaming that the 'AA' tier is far more interesting than the straightforward consolised games that have the most chance of getting a 10 for the PC platform.

Oh yeah? For every console game that gets a 9 or a 10, I can think of a PC game in the same genre with a score of 8 or lower that is more fun. Probably. I've never actually looked at PC game scores.

Another thing is, my Steam games list will put any of the current consoles' libraries to shame with how many awesome games are on it. The difference between a good PC game and a good console game is completely staggering both in scope and enjoyability.

Not really. I think if you look at a review for a PC FPS there's just about as much reference to Doom as Modern Warfare 2 would get to Halo: Combat Evolved or Goldeneye 007 (if there would be any reference to either). I don't believe I'm the only one that's ever rated a first person shooter on a console to the granddaddys of the genre a generation or two back.

And to be honest I don't buy the whole "PCs don't have generations" statement to explain a multitude of reasons the PC is rated differently. The only genre I've noticed that doesn't follow the idea of "generations" is the adventure genre. Every other genre you can see a much clearer benchmark where games from that point forward are rated by. It may not follow console generations, but, for example, no one is going to argue the game-changing nature of the '98/'99 PC games (Half-Life, Starcraft, Quake III, Unreal Tournament), the '04/'05 PC games (Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Company of Heroes, WoW), and the '07 PC games (Crysis, World In Conflict, Stalker, King's Bounty: The Legend)

The PC version of GTA4 has far better graphics then the console version.

No. I am not in the slightest going to allow myself to be provoked by this idiotic thread.
