lol at pc having most exclusive .

In my opinion it seems worse than the 360 vs PS3 argument

The only thing which is holding the pc back is the support of the games developers. They know they can put the best titles out on pc right now but they won't. Firstly, piracy is killing the pc as a platform - games companies are getting robbed blind. Secondly, MS shot themselves in the foot making DX10 Vista exlcusive and with Vista in general. Thirdly, they need to design games that can be cheaply ported to these 4 year old machines. That means that currently the pc just gets slightly better textures and more people in multiplayer which is a shame as it's capable of so much more. But we'll still see the graphical difference grow over the next 12 to 18 months.

really ? i dont think so , is it me or this year has been dead for PC ?

RevealingEdge

[QUOTE="RevealingEdge"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]it's you, or rather your preferences. For me console gaming has been dead for the past decade or so, I mean there are bassicaly no games on them from my favorite genres anymore (at least not good ones), so they've been practicaly dead to me. I didn't even get a console this gen yet, while I had multiple last gen. Simply put I won't buy a platform untill it has at least 5 games I want, so far all consoels combined this gen haven't matched this number yet

PC had "only" three AAA exclusives this year: Empire: Total War, The Sims 3 and Dragon Age: Origins (it's different enough from the console versions to be considered a PC exclusive). On the other hand, we got A LOT of AA exclusives, plus the best versions of every AAA and AA multiplatform game released in 2009.

PC is a great gaming platform, and it's the best if you like it's primary genres (FPS, RTS/TBS and RPG).

you want strategy ? you got red alert 3 , realistic shooter ? havent heard of killzone 2, mw2 or socom ? . adventure; bioware ,ff ? all this game featured on ps3,xbox and pc.clearly you're just a pc fanboyRevealingEdge

Red Alert 3 is also on PC, in much better version actualy. Not to mention CnC4 is PC only, so fail on your part

Killzone 2, MW2 aand Socom? Are you serious? You have to be a troll, nobody sane could call those games "realistic tactical shooters"

Bioware and FF(I assume that's final fantasy?)? FF is RPG series, Bioware also makes RPG games. And I was asking about adventure genre

clearly you're just a pc fanboyRevealingEdge

[QUOTE="clone01"][QUOTE="xsubtownerx"] I saw that. Yes it does have the most exclusive. But in the case of the PC it's more about quantity than it is quality.RevealingEdge

I think he emant adventure games such as grim fandango. If you want a much more tactical and realistic experience try any Ghost Recon game before GRAW, any Rainbow Six game before Lockdown, Splinter Cell games, Those are much more difficult because you can't run and gun like in the ones you mentioned.

So 1 decent rts game with no depth on consoles can match games like sins of a solar empires, men of war, Company of heroes and DOW2 that are plentyfull every year on pc and satisfy your RTS needs?

Kz2, MW2 and Halo are not reallistic. Reallistic is ARMA2 and Americas Army (which is free btw

In the simulation genre what consoles have? is there a game like silent hunter or flight simulator on consoles?

Also are there any building or management games on consoles like Anno series, sid meiers railroads and other?

Are there games like Nikopol, machinarium and the longest journey on consoles ( true adventure games)?

Just like every gen this gen to Pc is far ahead in AE, AAE and AAAE from any console and it doesnt matter whether you like those games or not even for games that fall in your standards ( muist look pretty, have at least a 5milliion budget and been hyped to hell and back ) pc still has as many games as any single console

AdrianWerner

They qualify as adventure games since they involve exploration, choices of movement, and so on (like in Metroid, do you really wanna go for that elusive Energy Tank, and so on). Thus they're classed as "action-adventures" rather than pure adventure games (games that also have exploration and so on but have no action element). Pure Action games, in contrast, usually have little if any exploration or side missions completely apart from primary missions.

HuusAsking

Thus it's like saying need for speed is a "pure racing game" as opossed to games like Halo which have driving segments

[QUOTE="RevealingEdge"][QUOTE="clone01"] so only 2009 counts now? well, better take Halo 3, MGS4, and SMG out of the console lists, then.Bebi_vegeta

IDK why console gamers are so afraid of PC Gaming.

Its just the best platform to game on. Either invest in a gaming rig or stick with your consoles,

i owned a 360, what is it worth for? i sold it for my Q6600, that's how horrible it was. also @ your sig, look at my avatar, there's my chick to bang.GTR2addict

More freedom > less freedom, therefore PC > console to me. I also don't see how it's any worse than the 360 vs PS3 argument...AAllxxjjnn

Exactly. I'm switching to my PC as my main console next generation, and probably getting the next Nintendo system too.

But the exploration pervades Action-Adventures as much as the action does. In Metroid you cannot proceed to the final battle Tourian without first finding and defeating all the sub-bosses, not to mention finding the necessary tools to survive the trip. Same for Zelda and most other Action Adventures. Halo may have driving segments, yes, but they're not crucial to the game (as in you don't have to win a race to proceed). But you can have arcadey racers like Burnout compared to sim racers like Forza. Then you have Western-type RPGs and Eastern-type RPGs; even action RPGs like ES4 and FO3 (indeed, these two blur the line a bit--these have significant adventure elements, too). Don't knock an action-adventure just because you don't like action. It is what it says it is--nearly equal elements of both.HuusAsking

Because that's what action-adventures truly are: roleplaying games with stats removed..ie RPGs where success or failure depends on your own skills instead of skills of your character. Action-adventures are simply action games with open world and tiny (really tiny) bit of adventure gaming thrown in

And it's not about comparing subgenres...adventure has plenty of it's own subgenres, action-adventure just isn't one of them. Zelda is as much of an adventure game as Halo is a racer.

I hear him talk and all i hear is "blah blah blah Im just a jelious Console noob blah blah blah" so its all gravy. His loss.

How the hell is this a new argument? PC gamers claiming their platform is superior to consoles goes back to the old Atari days.
