Discuss.

So what you have done is pick any sort of game you knew wasn't represented well on a platform, which you can do for any platform out there, just so you had a excuse to criticise PC?

the pc is lacking in alot of genres imoG-O-M-J

So basically you're just looking for an excuse to criticize this thread and label it an anti-PC thread?normal_gamer

So a thread criticising PC for not having more of X genre, when you can criticise any platform for not having XYZ genre, isn't anti PC?

What's to stop me criticising 360/PS3 for not having more RTS games or Simulators or P&C adventures? You posted this in SW; so it was meant as a jab against PC. Only your attempt to criticise the platform is invalidated by the fact the criticism is interchangeable with any other platform.

Like the PC needs TPS :roll: those things belong on consoles, much better controls

Max Payne.... yeah

I have never denied that 360/PS3 are definitely lacking in RTS games,why not post my thoughts on PC just like I do with other platforms then?normal_gamer

Look at it from my perspective.

The thread is in SW, not the PC section, so it was meant as a jab at PC.

You criticised PC for something which can be used to criticise any other platform, X genre not popular on Y platform.

Therefore the criticism is invalidated, so what more is there to say?

They've already got Max Payne 2, and nothing had really topped that yet, so I don't see the problem. :PPlaneforger

It just had one, not even a month ago. One of the highest rated games of all time. Ever heard of Mass Effect 2?

Consoles are lacking in RTS,TBS,Simulations(military,flight,etc...),City builders,indie games...

Most TPS games suck, there's only a few good ones sopretty much all consoles and PC are lacking in GOOD TPS games.xTheExploited

Almost all of the highest rated games on this site use a 3rd person viewpoint

ARMA 2in 3rd person...

[QUOTE="Arach666"][QUOTE="PannicAtack"] Huh?PannicAtack

HL2,I don´t think so.

But even portal does:D

TPS games seem to be more console friendly (does that make sense?) Controls and everything just suit better for the consoles.

Mass Effect 2, Saboteur, GTA4 + Episodes, Mafia 2, Resident Evil 5, Red Faction, Spec Ops The line, Gears of War, Lost Planet 1 and 2, Max Payne 1, 2 and 3, Just Cause 2, Kane & Lynch 1 & 2, Alpha Protocol, Dead Space.

Isin't the question really what TPS doesn't it have? Uncharted 2 and Gears of War 2 are the only ones i can think of which it doesn't.

I'm sure if you ask a PC gamer they will tell you TPS control much better on a mouse and keyboard :)

Is there even a TPS exclusive game on PC?

As far as I know PC only has oldschool TPSs like Mafia and Max Payne.

This gen I can only think of GeoW.

Now that I think about it TPS are only relevant because of GeoW nowadays. TPS are more of a lemming thing. Just like strategy games and sims are more of a hermit thing.

i hate crysis 3rd person camera. I would have prefer if it was over the shoulder like gears.

Now that's laughable... same can be said about every console.

Atleast, prove it, name some games that are not on PC.

The criticism isn't invalidated, what do you mean? It's perhaps unfair, or hypocritical, but its still a valid criticism.
