I REALLY want to play The Witcher and it's sequel when it comes out but my PC could never play it and I'm a console gamer. PLEASE bring them to 360 and PS3!

Yes, The Witcher was such a great game. Buggy as hell at first and very evident it was pretty low budget. The EE version fixed so much though and it is still onr of my all time favourite games.

Can't wait for 2 and who knows, they may port both to console one day.

has nothing to do with that

PC has a huge lack of Blockbuster exclusives this gen, if Microsoft are keeping Halo and gears off PC, why should console gamers get Stalker/Witcher/Diablo 3 etc

i mean get a job and build a better PC

i just saved up and got 2 5970's, feels good man, i wont have to upgrade for years

Same here. As long as they design the game with only the PC in mind, and then port it onto consoles, then I'm happy for consoles to get any PC exclusive. It's when I think of games like Rainbow 6 and Dues Ex that I weep :(

Some people just will never have the cash. Like i said, blockbuster exclusives mean nothing to me as a PC gamer. I play PC for games like Total War, Dawn of Discovery etc, as well as great multiplats.

I do see your point though.

its not up to gamers, the only company that will never touch consoles is Blizzard, all other companys move to consoles in time, some start making console ports tho, thats what we dont like

COD4/BC2/Fallout 3 are good examples of what PC gamers want from multi-plats

Ports like GTA4 and AC 1/2 are just terrible and they wonder why they get pirated to death

Unfortunately there are reasons not to share.

I wish I could be entirely happy about having all PC exclusives on consoles. It's not that I want to deny console gamers some gaming goodness. The problem is that PC gaming takes a little more effort than console gaming. If you're a PC gamer you probably at least understand most of the hardware at a basic level, if not at a very high one. And you also probably keep up with tech, at least from time to time.

MOST (not all obviously, because a lot of gamers out there that are both console and PC gamers) console gamers couldn't care less, and find the concept of a PC as a gaming platform either alien or intimidating, or both. Now PC gaming is not dying nor will it in the forseeable future, and as a platform it can stand toe to toe with any other SINGLE platform any day of the week, but most people don't think of it as a single platform that should be compared to another SINGLE platform. Most people, instead lump up all of the console market and pit the PC gaming market against that entire host. It is in those comparisons that exclusives make a very big difference.

So, I love PC gaming, and I want more and more people to come to see it as the great (and superior) gaming platform that it is, and exclusives help that a LOT. How many people decided to buy a $100 vidoe card or in some other way upgrade their rig to be part of the huge event that was StarCraft II? How many will do the same for Diablo III and the Witcher II? And how many of them will discover steam, and mods and realize how much better graphics are on the platform and become PC gamers?

So as much as in a perfect world I'd liike to say share and share a like, as a PC gamer who can't stand most console games, I have to say that I hope the exclusives remain exclusive.

Yes because the Witcher has such deep character creation/combat gameplay mechanics to begin with.

To be fair, I can completely understand someone picking GTA4 or AC2 on consoles over PC. GTA4 makes STALKER look stable at times and AC2, well, it goes without saying.

they dont usually move to console, they go multiplat. Thats like saying square enix and capcom are moving to pc, its just not the right way of putting it.

I'm playing through AC 2 at the moment ( as wel las loads of other games), I think the game itself is great. Only the graphics let it down. Silly pop in on textures on npc's and certain buildings having insanely low res at distance. You can tell it's a console port buy gameplay wise...very good.

stalker works fine for me, gta iv needed a few patches but beats the pants off the console version. I actually own and enjoy all those games on pc.

well ya, they didnt completely rework the game, but on console, especially ps3 its a mess with screen tearing and framerate issues. Until devs stop making games that dont even work properly on console, im getting all my multiplat gaming done on pc. Heck if the pc version of any game was as bad as the ps3 version of ac2 there would be nerd rage for months. Only game that is complete garbage on pc is saints row 2, not even playable for most.

I have it fully patched, GTA4 that is, and it still runs very inconsistently. The framerate is terrible, and the settings don't seem to change it at all. STALKER worked fine for me with Complete 2009, but even fully patched it crashed before I could even leave the starting room.

the framerate in the console version of gta iv is terrible as well, its like max 25fps and min 15 fps.TerrorRizzing
Its consistent on console by comparison, however. Playing it on my PC, its anywhere between 5FPS and 75FPS. Including hiccups (i.e. the frames just literally stop).

And its not like my PC can't handle the game, its just the game is put together rather sloppy.

It was far more stable when I played it on 360. But PC games work differently for everyone.

Yeah, Just Cause 2 runs beautifully and is from a far less talented developer. Strange, really. Just Cause 2 is bigger and looks better, and runs better.

thats true, but it isnt like gta iv isn't an exception to the way things are. Rockstar north are terrible, they did the console versions of the max payne games too. Just look at the 360 version of bully as well, wth was that?

i think rockstar are terrible programmers, especially rockstar north. I really played gta4 just for the story, the gameplay wasnt very good actually. I mean they had to spend 100 million dollars to make this. They seemed to be good last gen of consoles, but they suck now. give someone like valve 100 million to make a game and compare.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="TerrorRizzing"] it is poorly made, I found it just as annoying on 360... it had huge stutters just like some people have on pc.TerrorRizzing

It was far more stable when I played it on 360. But PC games work differently for everyone.

thats true, but it isnt like gta iv isn't an exception to the way things are. Rockstar north are terrible, they did the console versions of the max payne games too. Just look at the 360 version of bully as well, wth was that?

I have the PS3 version of GTA4, it too dips alot and stutters. When i have pointed this out in the past here in SW i am told it is only mine lol, that there is something wrong with my PS3. Again the game looks awful too, a blurry colourless mess.

its the higher standards of pc gamers, most console games dont run that well framerate wise. for example I have a friend who is a pc gamer, he had the game and said it ran completely fine for him on a 9800gt. I watched how well it played, and too me it was crap but to him it was fine. He was more worried about playing the game then if it was 30 fps + all the time.

I don't mind PC exclusives finding their way into consoles. It's just a natural evolution of gaming. As consoles get more and more powerful with each generation, more formerly PC-only games will become either multiplatform or move to consoles altogether. I don't think there's any way to stop that trend. Game developers have to earn a living too. For them, it makes more sense to cover a lot of bases.

My only care is the games themselves have to be good. I don't care if they're exclusive or multiplatform. If the developers of The Witcher choose to make subsequent games multiplatform, that's their perogative.

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] Because we're gamers, not companies. We have no reason not to share.TerrorRizzing

its not up to gamers, the only company that will never touch consoles is Blizzard, all other companys move to consoles in time, some start making console ports tho, thats what we dont like

COD4/BC2/Fallout 3 are good examples of what PC gamers want from multi-plats

Ports like GTA4 and AC 1/2 are just terrible and they wonder why they get pirated to death

gtaiv, ac1/2 are better on pc, yet not up to pc gamers usual standards.

I don't agree. All are great games and belong on the system that can make them shine.

I hope not, I would rather the developer put as much time and effort in a single version, and besides when games come to consoles you usually see a loss in depth.

I chose they should come to consoles. An amazing experience that shouldn't be missed by anyone. :)

almost every great pc game has come to console at some point... (although theres a reason we play them on pc) now that gaming is more mainstream and corporate everyone has to go multiplatform when it makes sense. Look at all those former console only games coming to pc, star wars the old repblulic is an example of a console first game gone pc exclusive because console just cant handle what the devs wanted. as tech plateaus, consoles become less and less attractive. Wireless hdmi, the fact that people are going to have a pc anyway, publishers not wanting to share with console makers anymore...

Just the other day I saw them showing off age of empires online (free to play), imagine what they will do in 5 years from now! When anybodies cheap pc can game, its game over for overpriced faulty prone consoles and their fees to publishers. I also predict gaming will become a service, not so much what it is now.

[QUOTE="TerrorRizzing"][QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] Its consistent on console by comparison, however. Playing it on my PC, its anywhere between 5FPS and 75FPS. Including hiccups (i.e. the frames just literally stop).

And its not like my PC can't handle the game, its just the game is put together rather sloppy.

Skittles_McGee

it is poorly made, I found it just as annoying on 360... it had huge stutters just like some people have on pc.

It was far more stable when I played it on 360. But PC games work differently for everyone.

True dat I was able to finally beat the Gta4 games on PC due to how smooth and awesome it ran at max settings. The draw distance on PC is awesome and puts the consoles to shame. I was never able to beat the game on the PS3 since the performance turned me off.

The Witcher would probably play pretty well on a console, so I'm all for it. The only RPGs that don't play very well with a controller are tactical RPGs like Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate.
