Reasons Why Consolites Don't Care About PC Gaming

[QUOTE="lundy86_4"]

Cows actually decided that Arcade/PSN titles don't count. If you'd like to know in-depth, you should PM CaseyWegner, and i'm sure he would help you understand.

Hey lundy, how did you change your name color ? I went into the options menu but it said it's still a members only thing :?

Go to:

1. Settings
2. Members Only

However, they don't seem to have unlocked it to non-paying members, unless you go through a thread someone gave me (can't remember it). They recently unlocked it for everyone, but Glitchspot is being awesome :P

[QUOTE="menes777"]

[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"] Nothing so absurd. I'm just saying for all the qualms PC gamers have against consoles controlling the industry, they overlook the simple fact that the "superiority" that PC enjoys this gen is largely due to console gaming and the age of multiplats. whiskeystrike

Uh huh, "you are only superior because we made you superior"? Right, but yet have not shown in anyway that this is the case.  Care to share any actual logic how this is true?  

Consoles sapping the FPS market (Halo/CoD) opened up a plethora of new genres on PC that could not have survived in previous gens. Standardizing hardware, drivers, unified shaders, etc have made PC gaming a much smoother and seamless experience then it ever was prior. Big budget multiplats like Assassin's Creed would not be available on PC outside of this gen. Dozens of new control schemes available. Both PC and consoles enjoy the success of each other. This is kind of common sense.

[QUOTE="Miketheman83"][QUOTE="clyde46"] And yet, the PC versions are the better versions. Take the latest DMC, scales well across of resolutions, 60FPS where as the consoles are stuck at 30FPS and better graphics even on a mid-range solution. menes777

You do realize that consolites are following in the wake of PC since the move from SD to HDTV right?  PC was the first with HD CRT Monitors.  Console was stuck on SDTV long after PC switched to HD.  PC was on LCD technology long before your mainstream TV sets were.  Now that consoles actually play at the same resolutions PC were years ago and LCD technology (along with plasma) have become mainstream you are trying to claim that PC is trying to be like console?  :lol: You have quite a bit to learn about technology...

And now look how hermits are emulating consolites, trying to become "cool."

"We have CoD too!"
"We have Multiplats too!"

"Cmon let's petition to get Halo and RDR and GTA V and and and"

"We have exclusives too!" (exclusive to what exactly, since the platform has no owner.)

"We use controllers too!"

"We play on the couch too! Look how easy it is, you just drag the 50 pound computer into your living room, put the keyboard next to the macademia nuts, put the mouse next to the phone on the coffee table and VOILA! Perfect couch experience! 60 fps!"

Face it.

You want to be consolites, but you want better graphics. That's all there is to it.

Yeah it says "Forum Name Color: This feature is also only available to paid subscribers!"

I read on the site a while ago that the paying subscription would end and we would get HD downloads and some other stuff like changing your name color. I think it said that would be available from february 1st

Oh well, I guess I'll stick with good ol' yellow  :P

I was trying to change my name color for about a good 25 seconds.

I kept refreshing and refreshing to finally get it to change.

I think that is enough "PC gaming" for me. I really couldn't handle the platform.

"We have exclusives too!" (exclusive to what exactly, since the platform has no owner.)

LazySloth718

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhm...

do you even read why you write ?

the platform

LazySloth718

exclusive to that maybe ?

Or can I pop my Crysis DVD into my 360 and start playing it ?

[QUOTE="LazySloth718"]

Yeah but again that's not reality.

In the Gamespot metagame, their dumbass score matters.

Outside the metagame, the top 5 PC exclusives aren't even marketable, they have to use free to play model because nobody will buy up front.

R4gn4r0k

Sure it's not reality. This is exaclty what I'm talking about btw, with console fanboys making up ridiculous excuses. :roll: 

I'm not talking soley about gamespot, you can use metacritic too if you want, or any site that reviews a decent amount of PC games for that matter. Same result in the end. 

What top 5 PC exclusives ? Could you be more specific ?

If it makes you feel better, just consider it my opinion.

A very widely echoed and "you can feel its true in your heart" opinion.

Agreed, it's very lame that I can't change my forum name's color.

First thing tomorrow I'm going to sell my PC.

Found the link.

the platform

That's no feat.

Oh wow, someone wrote a game in C++ stop the presses, it's exclusive "to the platform."

And if it happens to actually not suck, it'll go to consoles as the lead platform.

You know PC gaming is bad when the forums are as uncompromising and difficult as the games themselves.

"It's my opinion" that games I like rock despite their rating and games I don't like suck hairy ass despite their rating.

If a game can only be played on PC, than it is exclusive to that platform.

Why is that so hard to get for you ?

Wait, never mind. It's not like you ever answered any of my previous questions anyway. That would require you to think.

Planetside 2 is a lot like pornstars

It looks nice and is fun for a 10 minute wank

But in reality it is incredibly shallow and has no soul.

Exclusive is a marketing term that denotes a piece of software that legally cannot leave the platform (at least for a certain period of time.)

It doesn't mean "our game sucks so it's PC exclusive because nobody else wants it."

Up until a few years ago, I'd never heard that term used to describe a PC game.

You're just trying to be console bros.

Console gamers didn't invent that term, or start using it first. You can't back up that they did, so stop claiming nonsense.

Console gamers did invent the term console exclusive, which is a game that is exclusive and at the same time isn't. I don't see PC gamers that start using that term, eventhough PC gamers want to be like console gamers like you are claiming :s

LOL Exclusive means that it's only found one place (or a set of places), you know like when you hear on the news "Channel 12 Exclusive!".  There's nothing legal about it.  You are thinking of something else like a contract with so and so on to exlusively make games for x system.  The exlusively part just means that they are going to work on x system.  For example Minecraft was a PC exlusive for quite some time, but that didn't mean there was a legal contract to keep it on PC.  That's just the way it was, till of course they made an Xbox version.  Now it's exlusive to Xbox and PC (and mobile) but that still doesn't mean that it legally can't show up on PS3 eventually.  

Well I just named 1.

You can add LoL and DoTA to that list.

So you can barely name 3 ? And those are the top 5 PC exclusives how exactly ?

There are DOTA games that aren't F2p you know, like awesomenauts or Guardians of Middle-Earth which is on... consoles :o

Well consider it another one of my "opinions" I hate the term "PC exclusive" it makes it feel like PC gamers are trying to be console bros.

As someone who also plays games on PC, I never once said "oh this is PC exclusive."

I just see if it interests me.

I don't consider Hard Reset "exclusive" it's just a good game that if the developer's ambitious they will try to put it on consoles because it deserve to be played (and can make them more money.)

But ultimately that involves lawyers and contracts so I understand why some developers don't want to be in the console space, it's a high-risk-high-reward environment where you can make millions or you can become homeless.
