PC has no AAAA Game in the History of Gaming

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] So let me get this straight, you go into a thread about PC game ratings and simply because of the reason that is related to PC gaming you find it perfectly acceptable to insult pc gamers by essentially saying that they dont enjoy games? How is that relevant to the discussion at all? And as for your own logic being used against you by Naval, you were basing your insult off of the fact that PC gamers were defending their game. So he in turn noted that console gamers do the exact same thing. Yet when that happens you choose to avoid an answer because it was "off topic" and you "didnt want to get modded" when he was responding to your post that was: A.) Not on topic, B.) insulting and probably qualifies as trolling.killab2oo5

Says you who have 12 406 posts? The irony..............ocstew

On topic so I don't get moderated again...The reason the PC doesn't have an AAAA title may be because there are no worthy candidates. I'm just sayin'.

Answer me honestly now, if you made a new thread using your exact statements, and reasoning for those statements, How long do you think it would last before moderation.

ferret-gamer

I'm not the one accusing hermits of not playing their games, that's YOU. ocstew

And what did you mean? About me having 12k posts in the span of 5 years?

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]I really don't see why anyone would be offended by that. Maybe my skin is just a bit too thick and I don't see it, but honestly...I don't see anything wrong with it.

It is not relevant at all apart from it being related to PC gaming, a big generalization, you want to know another generalization this thread is related to gaming in general :o so maybe we should get the dreamcast and checkers involved. How do you see what you posted pertaining to PC gaming not having AAAA titles?ferret-gamer

OP needs to go and read the review criteria. Games are reviewed based on what is on the system at the current time.

Is this thread about console games and AAAA's? No. That is why I haven't bothered to say anything about console games and AAAA. What about that is so hard to understand?

killab2oo5

Is my point so difficult to get? Your logic is flawed, and the fact that you posted here can be used against you by that rationale. If this thread is evidence of what you said, then it also evidence that you care more about pointing out your imaginary PC gamer flaws than playing your games. Of course, the problem is that PC gamers posting in this thread is in no way an indicator that they "care more about their reputation than enjoying their games".

Because the console makers, Ie Sony, MS Nintendo pay for nice review scores :S No way that GTA 4 could of scored a ten, God of war 3 is annoyingly dull, just like AC1, at least AC2 broke the game up a bit ¬_¬ So I don't know how these score so high, without some kind of money.

That is basing it all on MP, though, which I find is a irrelevant feature. Regardless, this does not prove that it is a general policy to have higher standards on the PC. Should I give mediocre PC games a good score just because I do not like the overall library?

[QUOTE="calvinsora"]

[QUOTE="ducati101"] I'll say again, the best recent example is MW2. Better graphics, faster loading, better framerate, choice of controls on the PC version yet it scores a little lower than the console version.

Indeed, then it should have scored higher. I´m not debating that. What I´m saying is that it isn´t any sort of general rule, or at least shouldn´t be one at all.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review (PC)

"Modern Warfare 2 boasts an exhilarating campaign, engaging cooperative play, and addictive multiplayer, but the high price and limited multiplayer features may tarnish its appeal."

But it's identical to the consoles multiplayer, and the same price too.... so why score lower?

From the review:

• Costs more, has fewer multiplayer features than other PC shooters
• Campaign is short
• Plot is muddled and inelegant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you bothered to actually read the PC review.. you will know that the reason MW2 PC scored lower than the console versions is because it was being judge against other pc games... for example :

MW2 PC REVIEW

The Bad

• Costs more, has fewer multiplayer features than other PC shooters
• Campaign is short
• Plot is muddled and inelegant.

again incase you didnt see

The Bad

• Costs more, has fewer multiplayer features than other PC shooters
• Campaign is short
• Plot is muddled and inelegant.

not only that but evidence of pc having different standards or higher standards..call it what you will.. is apparent

"If you compare Modern Warfare 2 on the PC to its console counterparts, the game is every bit as awesome and enjoyable. Yet when compared to other online shooters on the PC, the multiplayer component is decidedly limited."

"Furthermore, there is no support for user-created content, so rather than enjoying free mods and community maps, PC users will have to pay for downloadable content. And the money issues don't stop there: Modern Warfare 2 costs $10 more than most full-price PC games."

now the following describes MW2 as a PC FPS compared to other PC FPS games *this was written only on the MW2 PC review*

"Though it features a robust variety of playlists in which to ply your deadly trade, Modern Warfare 2's competitive multiplayer is still limited compared to modern standards and will likely disappoint many hardcore shooter fans"

now when talking about the console version the reviewer said this*console review*

"With a robust variety of playlists in which to ply your deadly trade, Modern Warfare 2's competitive multiplayer is the best in the series and one of the best available on consoles"

and with that I leave you with evidence that the PC version was indeed knocked down in score because it was being compared to other PC fps games.. thus pc having higher standards or different.. whatever you call it.... seacrest out

It's a given that the PC version of a multiplatform game is gonna look better. But MW2 on PC is getting compared to other PC shooters. I played that version, not the console versions, and while MW2 looks good, it looks no better than what you'd expect it to look like. If our standard of comparison for PC games was "the console version," the PC version would get a higher score than the others over 90% of the time.

When I look at cases where the PC version did score higher--Metro 2033 and Just Cause 2 jump right to mind--it's because on that platform, there was something that made the game soar, or conversely, made the other version(s) pale. In Metro 2033's case, movement and shooting in the X360 version was clunkier and looked worse than should have been expected. For Just Cause 2, not only were the PC's visuals extraordinary compared to other open-world PC games (AND the game ran like butter to boot), but the console aiming problems were seldom an issue on the PC.

You want an open-world PC game in which the PC version is far and away the superior version? Just Cause 2 is just that. I am surprised anyone would hold up the buggy, poorly performing GTA IV as such an example.

Lucky for me i never had any problems with GTAIV. I think my 2x GTX480 has something to do with that. Although i hear the patches have resolved the poor performance on lower spec machines.

No matter what you say it didn't got a higher score :|

@NerubianWeaver

So basing on your statement, you don't care if games are under a higher microscope depending on platform? All you care about is seeing a 10/10 score? Not only that but when you start the thread asking why there is no PC games with 10 and the editor has come in and explained you don't care and don't care what people say?

Remember, you started this thread with , "PC has no AAAA Game in the History of GamingI just noticed that. Not only this Gen but all the whole time. I wonder why?"

The game that generates more $ than any pc/video games in history.

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"][QUOTE="MK-Professor"]

If the GTA4 for consoles deserver 10/10 then the pc version deserver 12/10 because the pc version is superior in every way. But as you know pc have higher standards so the games tend to score lower.

Hence why I claimed GTA4 and MGS4 got 10s... because there wasn't really any great games before them.

Its not just GameSpot, on Metacritic.com there is no PC game higher than 96. On the other hand, every other console DOES have one or two games, with the old PS2 and Xbox having a few over 96 as well. Considering that metacritic's full PC games list hass EVERY major PC game since the 90's, it is a bit humbling. Or it should be, but that won't stop them from thinking PC gaming is the best thing since sliced bread.
