[QUOTE="Merkaba-"]Games with amazing potential are dumbed down for gamepads and it ruins potentially amazing games.clone01

You think that games that are dumbed down could've been amazing?

More like, they took the easy road and dumbed it down because they suck. I think that should be obvious.

Bad games are bad. Blame the ****ing dev, and not the ****ing system.

Ghost Recon

Oblivion

Deus Ex 2

Bioshock (although...I don't know if Xbox is entirely to blame for how vanilla it was)

UT3

All games guaranteed to get 90% or higher and I found myself wondering why they sucked so bad and had no "life" in them. It's because when you have a bad control scheme it removes any immersion and immersion is key to good games.

That's why Crysis is so amazing even though it doesn't really "bring anything new to the table." That's why Half-Life was godly.

If Xbox weren't in existance, these games wouldn't have been ported to consoles (Xbox and PC have very similar coding/programming) because it wouldn't have been worth the money and they would have been developed properly.

But because people want a PC gaming experience (and who could blame them) and many don't have the patience/motivation to learn how to use one, they buy Xboxs and create an opportunity for devs to take the easy road.

that's a great theory that is based completely in fiction. i've been a console gamer my entire life and have no interest in PCs. just because you don't like certain console games doesn't mean they are bad. that's your opinion.

Console games are great.

PC games played on an Xbox are ****. That leaves like three titles to pick from...

Us Xbox people could care less about PC. It the PS3 owners you should care about. They are the ones that can install OS's and looking on the internet.

Were to busy playing games. While your to busy penny pinching to get a PC that as good or a little bit better.

Truth_Hurts_U

Maybe I'll start to worry when Playstation games are available on PC and vice versa. I'm actually going to get a PS3 when GT5 comes out.

Until PS games are available on PC, there is no need to worry about PS poisoning PC games like Xbox does.

I don't really care at all about console games. I'm a hardcore gamer for life :P

They can do whatever they want with consoles for all I care.

Wait wait wait. It's not consoles, but JUST the 360?

It's not the PC dev's fault if they want to make games for people that are more willing to buy their crappy games. It's business.

You don't seem to understand that when a game is developed for both Xbox and PC that the Xbox version is the "primary" version because more people will buy it (because of ease of use). When Xbox is the primary platform, the game is developed with gamepad controls. Gamepad controls = crappy controls = crappy game.

Games with amazing potential are dumbed down for gamepads and it ruins potentially amazing games.

[QUOTE="Merkaba-"]Ok whether or not you think it's the truth, at least you admit it hurts you to think about how badly you're being ripped off for the sake of "ease."Cute_Red_Panda

Now, that's a problem.

Are you seriously suggesting that people are being ripped off by buying consoles?

When it delivers the enjoyment they wanted?

How can you make value judgments for other people.

You might like to, I dunno, go out and have a good time with your friends, and spend 50 bucks for something, while for other people it'd be a complete ripoff. How can you presume to judge thus?

No...PS3 and Wii have their own library of games/originality/creativity. Xbox just steals everything from the PC and screws PC users in the process.

huh? :? Astounding the logic people have. How is Xbox stealing from PC?

Xbox wouldn't even exist if it hadn't stolen Halo from PC users.

Bungie was actually a Mac company, not PC. Bad facts leads to bad logic.

K? Macs are still PCs...
