300 posts and still no response from console only owners with their game list.scoobiesnackarf

We don't have to. The thought that a list of 10 games somehow defeats the combined libraries of all the consoles is so ludicruos a response is not warranted.

[QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="scoobiesnackarf"]I agree. The problem is that many console only folks don't want to take the time to learn. They also fall for the lie that it costs OMGZE $20,000!!! to build a PC. Oh well, they are missing out on the best library in the business.XaosII

not really. i've nothing against PC gaming, but aside from a few titles, it really just doesn't interest me all that much.

So why are more than half the games you own for the 360 on the PC first, mutliplat with PC, or the better version is on the PC?

just because a game is available on the PC does not necessarily mean i wanto to play it on the PC.

Killzone doesn't compare to the best shooters on PC. Shoot, it doesn't even hold a candle to Counter Strike. Infamous? The PC has more sandbox games than consoles combined. Gears of War? Really? Gears of War is on PC and I am sure part 2 will be as well. Uncharted? Its a pretty game but gameplay is bland. Forza or GT? Sorry, PC is the king when it comes to real car racing. God of War on PC? An action game that gets bland? Yea, ok.

[QUOTE="agentfred"][QUOTE="xsubtownerx"]And then what? That alone makes the PC less appealing to RPG gamers. In fact, what top notch RPG is the PC getting this year?scoobiesnackarf
King's Bounty: Armored Princess. I honestly believe Armored Princess will be the best RPG this year, on any of the four major systems.

This. Console owners cannot name an RPG coming out in 09 that will touch Armored Princess.

Oh please. Dragon Age looks much more interesting. Sorry.

Just because one may own a Rolls Royce doesn't mean they can't purchase a volvo to get around with here and there.

I suggest you change your sig. It's because of that PC elitist mentality PC's are ignored in this board for the most part.

Meh, I'm unconvinced by DA. They certainly seem to be making a wonderful game conceptually speaking, but in practice it comes off as bland, unfinished, and overwhelmingly generic. I've got plenty of hope, and even more wishful thinking, but I think it's too early to be reaching any conclusions about DA. AP is tried and true on the other hand, and it looks like it's taking everything that was great about The Legend, and making it better.

Another example of PC superiority is Men of War. No game on consoles can compare.

Since the first one was locked due to lack of content, here you go:

1. Empire Total War

2. Dawn of War 2

3. Men of War

4. Starcraft 2- (atleast one part should be released)

5. Sims 3

6. Anno 1404

7. Demigod

8. Zeno Clash

These alone destroy everything on consoles. PC- System of every year! I dare you to prove me wrong.

scoobiesnackarf

Empire Total War looks nice, as all Total War games do. I like Total War though I'm not much of an RTS fan so that removes Dawn of War 2, Men of War and Starcraft 2 for me. I liked the original Sims, but it drove me nuts after a while, no real intrest in Sims 3. Never played an Anno game before, no real desire to, but I might enjoy it. Demigod didn't exactly turn out too good by the looks of it, regardless not much of a multiplayer gamer anyway. Zeno Clash looks like it could be entertaining, but I have heard mixed reactions. I might try it eventually.

The only title there that really 100% aligns with what I like is Total War, and I'm not too bothered because I'm fairly new to the series anyway and I can get alot more milage out of MTW2 for now. The other titles don't exactly jump out at me. Bit of a dull list actually. I would rather be playing Beyond Good and Evil 2, Brutal Legend, Murasama Demon Blade, Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2, Infamous and mabye a few others. Most of them will be on PC though. I'm not all that impressed by that line up, and I hope there is more than that for PC this year.

EDIT: Though I am enjoying Kings Bounty alot right now, and the expansion may be worth getting if it turns out well.

[QUOTE="UMBRAlingering"][QUOTE="Aljosa23"]Why would you need Blu-Ray drive? :|

A DVD drive does just fine, considering all games are in that format.

i would rather have a ps3 instead of a 600$ gaming pc sorry.

Do you know what you can get for 600 dollars?

In Denmark that's nothing.

As others have posted recently, you can build a fantastic PC for less than a PS3. A PC that plays the newest games in high settings. PC continues to spit out game after game and has many more on the horizon. Nothing that the consoles can touch.

[QUOTE="adamosmaki"][QUOTE="UMBRAlingering"] yes great! i cant play those on my laptop. so you could say. 2000$ gamming pc owns > consoles. my ps3 can perform better than 90% of Personal computers world wide.UMBRAlingering
But i can can say a $600 gaming pc owns

yes? 600$ with blu ray? i dont think so.....i would say 1000$ minimun for a good gaming PC. an we are talking about hardware...

A 700$ PC outperforms both the 360 and the PS3. That's an undeniable fact that's been proven tme and time again. I won't waste my time or anyone else's time proving it again.

That being said, a 400$ PC can max those games.

Add Athlon X2 7850 and GTS 250. It's even less if you build it yourself.

It's going to come down to preference. The multiplats offer better graphics, and arguably better gameplay, on top of mods.

Check out the released and upcoming exclusives, and see if they appeal to you. The next huge release i'm amped for is The Old Republic (hopefully it's awesome).

Either way, you can build an awesome rig for $500-600 US.

Doesn't the PC have the most AAAs, AAs and As in each gen? If so, no wonder it owns, assuming you like shooters, RTSs, MMORPGS and simulation games.

An i7 is pointless right now, what with the new Larabee GPU/CPU hybrid coming out at the end of the year. If I were you I would go for a E8500 and a 4870. There you go, awesome PC for $600.

That's very similar to mine. Except I have a e8400.

Mine cost me around $1300 CDN. It runs everything very well.

Crysis was a fun game. Some other good games are:

- Zeno Clash (Indie)

- Cryostasis

- Stalker: SoC

- Stalker: CS

- Half-Life 2, plus Episode 1 + 2

- All PC/Console multiplats

- Empire: Total War

Plus an absolute boat-load of others.

Read about it here. It's basically a CPU and a GPU in one. If everything goes well it could potentially change the industry.

[QUOTE="Solid_Tango"] the pc i m building will cost me 1000+ (without a video card) i m having the new i7 920, a good motherboard an awesome tower, 6gb ram, 750 harddrive, 850 powersuply, the only thing i have figure out yet is which videocard to get :sAljosa23

An i7 is pointless right now, what with the new Larabee GPU/CPU hybrid coming out at the end of the year. If I were you I would go for a E8500 and a 4870. There you go, awesome PC for $600.

Agreed. I have a Core 2 Q8200 and it's actually bottlenecked by my 280GTX. I don't see the point of having a good $300 - $400 processor when you'd need (at least)$1000 worth of graphics hardware to actually test it.

WHatttt??? pointless? i thought it was one of the best processors right now!!!! :( Whats Larabee? i ve never heard of it.

Read about it here. It's basically a CPU and a GPU in one. If everything goes well it could potentially change the industry.

Like Teh Cell?

It's going to come down to preference. The multiplats offer better graphics, and arguably better gameplay, on top of mods.

Check out the released and upcoming exclusives, and see if they appeal to you. The next huge release i'm amped for is The Old Republic (hopefully it's awesome).

Either way, you can build an awesome rig for $500-600 US.

I m very interested in Crysis, i hope i can be able to run it well, and since i have never gamed on a pc , i know there are tons of games that will keep me busy for awhile :D

Crysis was a fun game. Some other good games are:

- Zeno Clash (Indie)

- Cryostasis

- Stalker: SoC

- Stalker: CS

- Half-Life 2, plus Episode 1 + 2

- All PC/Console multiplats

- Empire: Total War

Plus an absolute boat-load of others.

The entire Total War series is ownage. Rome actually still holds merit as an excellent RTS even against this generations standards. A few months ago I actually picked up a copy of Medieval 2: Gold (includes all expansions) for $15 in a Gamestop bargain bin. RTS is pretty much a PC exclusive genre as far as I'm concerned. Although they do exist on console platforms, they're all pretty much laughable to their PC counterparts. Fumbling with a controller is too much effort to accomplish the same task as a point and click.

Its a graphics chip, not a CPU. A single multicore processor will never render specialized processors obsolete. These are the same types of people that thought the laptop was going to be the replacement for the modern desktop.
