Because PC gaming isn't as popular as console gaming. But PC is still fun.

[QUOTE="raynimrod"]

Consoles have never had as many AA and AAA games as the PC in the history of gaming. Let's do a whole thread on that.

To be honest TC, this thread highlights absolutely nothing of significance. Your opinion is that the lack of a AAAA PC game on Gamespot somehow reflects "poor quality" or something of that nature (completely ludicrous of course). The opinion of the wider professional gaming review community, is that the PC is held to far higher standards than consoles (much like GS holds the 360 and PS3 to higher standards than the Wii).

The fact of the matter is that the PC has far more highly-rated, good quality games (AA or higher) than any other console. Given the quantity of exceptionally high quality PC games, I think the point of this thread is mute.

Maybe it's time for this thread to die?

NerubianWeaver

An Opinion? It's a Fact that there is no really AAAA PC Game that is as perfect as a game can aspire to be at its time of release. Also i don't care on these AA/AAA Games since the topic we are discussing is about the existence of an AAAA PC Game :|

Trolls are fun.

Please read again the part where I talk about your opinion, because your response made no sense and didn't address my points at all :|

Why are you ignoring the fact that PC games are held to a higher standard? Denial is going to be my guess. Can't stand defeat :)

If you can't cope with keeping your programs up to date i sure hope you arn't posting on a windows machine as it's a pretty much certainty that you'll pick up a virus within a week. If you can't handle something like that you shouldn't be using a PC at all really as that is basic PC maintenance.

I'm using a Mac :|

Oh god another one, this just sums the PC haters up doesnt it. useless shallow machines and useless shallow DoTA characters. It just gets better and better. Mac Users, since when do you get a say on PC Gaming really?

Another Mac user following stereotypes when MAC is no less complicated than Windows, if additional extras are "Complicated" then I lose all faith in people....

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?

Silverbond

Nope, not right. You only have WoW and the Sims on PC, so how can you make an opinion about PC gaming?:?

Try running Crysis on your PC, or any other GPU-intensive game.

You can't compare consoles to the PC, as both the PS3 and Xbox use ancient chips for graphics.

PS3 = modified (gimped) GeForce 7800 GTX. nVidia is now at the 400 Series.

Xbox = R600 foundation for the Radeon HD 2000 Series. ATI is up to what, 5900 now?

Here a simple way to comapare performance between them. The RSX has 300 million transistors, The GTX 480 has close to 3 billion. 10x the processing power.

Xbox = R600 foundation for the Radeon HD 2000 Series. ATI is up to what, 5900 now?

TheXenos has 336 million transistors, The 5870 has over 2 billion. 8-9x the processing poewer

Then you have medium ranged Pc gpu's in the $100 range thats 3x-4x faster then any of the console gpu's. also with 2-4x the memory amount allowing higher resolutions and abilities.

Did you check my profile? :lol:

It's called the spreadsheet, bro. Just because I don't use my PC for gaming all that much doesn't mean I can't acknowledge the fact that it's winning.

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="NerubianWeaver"] The fact still remains that there is no AAAA PC Game. NerubianWeaver

Planetscape AAA, reguarded as one of the BEST pc games ever. Half-Life 2 - AAA, seen by many as the BEST story driven PC FPS ever. your point has nothing to stand on.

:lol: None of the games you mention are AAAA. My point still stands that there is no AAAA PC Game which is the point of this Topic

And their point stands that the topic is a smokescreen. Why bring up a subject that really has no point. You must be bringing up the subject for a reason, but many of us are saying there's no good reason for it. After all, why else would the lowest score of TES4 get the "Best" tag?

That still doesn't answer why it got the "Best" tag. You seem to like avoiding questions.

Because many PC gamers that played that game thougth it was a downgrade from Daggerfall and Morrowind.

Wow this thread is still going. I thought it ended when Kevin-V showed up. Apparently TC still doesn't understand though.

At this point it's just trolling.
