Whaat great exclusives did PC get this year? Can't think of much.

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]

Well, we just got Anno 2070 and imo that's the best game this year.

skrat_01

lol y'all are still going on about this? you pc nerds sure are sensitive about your flop exclusives. :lol:

GrannyGoat

Ah, I love it when one of those silly consolites makes one of those "pc haz no gamez" thread.

First he adds up ALL 3 consoles to try to support his pathetic claim, then gets owned as usual by long lists of awesome games, then claims the games are unknown (lol) or boring (this means they're too complicated for his limited intellectual capabilities).

You get 10 pages of ownage, and the guy comes back with "hur dur ya're all butthurt". Priceless :D

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="firefluff3"]

In his defence, PC didn't have many hard hitting exclusives at all. Most games listed are either indie games (not a problem, but still no big hitting ones) or glitchy games which scored no higher than 7.5 and are praised to hell and back. (Hard reset, Red orchestra, E.Y.E, Rift, Trackmania 2, Nuclear dawn, Stronghold 3, Avadon, and not to mention Killing Floor, STALKER)

I have nothing against PC gaming, I love it, but come on, PC gamers are always preaching about games that are glitchy and don't appeal to a huge audience.

firefluff3

would you elaborate? This always happens here, Sony fanboys don't go on about infamous 2 when it scores a 7.5 and yet STALKER, Red Orchestra and E.Y.E are praised to hell and back by pc gamers. (not that I don't enjoy those games)

I'm basically saying a lot of PC games are less appealing to people because their for a more niche audience, It's just understandable why he thinks that there was no "hard hitting" exclusives this year.

Your comment about PC gamers "going on and on" is false, haven't seen those games being mentioned in recently. Cows made a million threads of damage control because of Infamous 2, and I've seen many say it's their favorite game this year.

Also, lol at how much importance you give gamespot scores. You also got the scores wrong, but that doesn't matter.

Hmm Wii gamers do seem to be going Ape sh*t over the score SkyWard sword got. Scores don't get in the way for us because where not the ones hyping every single exclusive to AAA it's the PS3 gamers who are :P FFS if you've paid attention all year you'd see hype threads for every PS3 exclusive being hyped to AAA. We did not hype titles such as Hard Reset to AAA we were aiming around A-AA only for titles such as The Witcher 2 and Shogun 2 we would hype to AAA

Keyboard and mouse is not even designed for gaming. Its designed for typing and computing. Controllers are designed specifically for gaming.Miketheman83

Some genres are designed to be played with the keyboard and mouse (such as strategy games, MMOs, etc). Some genres are simply better with the keyboard and mouse (such as shooters), given the boost in precision and extra hotkeys.

Some other genres tend to be designed to be played with controllers, such as action adventure games. Fortunately, PC gamers can just plug controllers in for those games...so the controller argument makes no sense.

and yet, as a user of both, I find the keyboard and mouse combo the best way to control most genre of games, with the exception of platformers and fighters (two genres which at this points are on life support on consoles by the way)

Irrelevant when I can aim far more accurately and far quicker using a mouse in any shooting game. That's why console games come with aim assist/autoaim and huge hit boxes. When you play with a mouse you actually aim for yourself, it's a vastly superior control mechanism for any shooter. Depends what type of games you play I suppose, I prefer a gamepad for football games and some other sports games. Anything else a mouse/keyboard is far superior. Fortunately on the PC I get to use whatever I like.

Who cares what something is designed for, when it is easily the superior system mechanically.

Ruining gaming? /facepalm

Ignoring what consoles have done for PC's is just plain stupid

Something to note about "big-budget" game developers. They didn't just "BAM!" magically came out of nowhere and became big. They all had humble beginnings developing low-budget titles who made it big along the way. The same goes for the developers of "low-budget" titles for the PC today. It's an ongoing cycle that never ends.

Take a close look at the history of say, Naughty Dog and Epic Games. You'll see they started out developing shareware titles on the PC.

commonfate

I'm not ignoring it. But, can you make a bullet list of exactly what consoles have done for the PC?

I can think of one:

- not counting the arcades, joysticks and gamepads moved from console to computers.

Edit:

Going the other way.....

- FPS games, wildly popular on the PC spread to cosnsoles

- nVidia and ATI, PC graphics cards makers, started making graphics chips for consoles

- IBM, associated with the PC, developed CPU for Wii and XBox 360.

- PS3 OS based off Linux

- Direct 3D API used for XBox 360 development

- OpenGL wrappers used for PS3.

Where would consoles be today without PC technology?

Perhaps the most apparent one would be that consoles sapped a huge portion of the FPS market from PC. That sounds like a terrible thing but PC gaming was not so varied as it used to be. Sure there were some other games from other genres on the market but nowhere near the quantity that they are now.

Last gen PC would have never gotten big budget titles like Assassin's Creed, Dead Space, etc. Due to the multiplatform nature of this generation, PC gamers can play such titles.

Slower hardware growth... now here is the tricky one and many people will probably disagree with me but w/e. The whole mentality of upgrading every half a year has always been exaggerated but had some truth in previous gens. Some people would rather have greater hardware but PC devs don't want to leave behind consoles. so financially it's not viable in today's market, outside of being an indie dev (in which their would be no need for high-end hardware as it is). This does mean slower hardware growth but PC gaming is much more affordable now and hardware only gets cheaper over time. This gen, a single high-end card from 2006 could have gotten you through the whole gen, playing multiplat games whereas in previous gens, that would have never held up for so long without upgrading.

Uniformity of hardware and drivers is a great thing. It's much, much easier to get the matching parts that you want (if you're into building PCs) and easier to get the right drivers to work correctly for the right games. In PC vs console debates, consolites love to bring up the woes of getting a frustrating PC game to work. And that point against PC gaming would have had much more relevance in previous years.

I know you asked for bullet points but I can't really but these points into 1 sentence constructs, sorry :P

Dead Space I can agree with. The team that made Dead Space had a history of previously making console games only. It's arguable whether AC wouldn't have been made for the PC without consoles in mind. After all, Ubisoft (publisher of AC) has been a longtime computer game developer. I first heard of them when they used to make games for the Commodore Amiga in the late 80's. I definitely heard of them when they came out with the (superlative) IL2 Shturmovik and LOMAC flight sims for the PC. It's only with their recent stance on piracy that their PC game development came into question.

Other examples of big budget console titles that made it from consoles to PC in the past are the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil games.

As for my stance on big budget titles.... I already mentioned it earlier. There's definitely some stuff that make its way from consoles to the PC. But, be it game genres or technology, the cross-pollination is way stronger going from PC to console. Well, the PC is getting Kinect. I'm not sure if that's good for some people here. On the other hand, some of the less popular stuff from the PC side are making its way into consoles as well such as bugs, patches, and updates. He He.

Edit: Never mind about the bullet list. I was merely trying out what my (former) bosses used to tell me.:lol: I just wanted to see what kind of result it would get.

And you guys wonder why people think pc gamers are snobby nerds.Miketheman83

Hermits overhyped the games, for the sole reason that you don't like them?

Good to know that yours is the barometer by which we must measure the quality of games.

What s the problem of consolites with PC gaming? Growth in the PC sector is beneficial for all parties. COnsole gaming however does add nothing to the industry except huge sales for the corporate scumm. PC gaming doesn t alter your gaming experience or quality. Console gaming however affects multiplat developement in a bad way. Game design idea's get butchered because the systems are restricted in so many ways.

And then we even aren't talking about PC franchises wich got butchered thanks to console developement. Battlefield 3 being one of the recent ones.
