Will the hateboys quit it? They don't care enough about PC gaming to even check if the market is "dwindling", they just love to assume PC is failing and their platform of choice is winning.

Here you got the first MGS

Looks alright for a PS1 game. But on the PC at that same time there was Half-Life.

Looks light years better right? Now lets compare a 2010 game like ME2.

So ME2 on the PC looks alot sharper than on the 360, but other than that they look and play almost identical.

What I'm saying is, the line between consoles and the PC is getting really blurry to the point where devs like Crytech don't mind bringing a game to the consoles without having so sacrifice too much if it would have been just a PC exclusive.

[QUOTE="clubsammich91"]

I'm not saying the PC is loosing exclusivity, I'm just saying that console gaming has caught up considerably to PC gaming to the point where the 2 are becoming similar enough in terms of tech that making a PC game into a console game and keeping most of the content isn't a real challenge for devs.

You're using a cross platform game as evidence that consoles can keep up with PC capability? Think on that a moment, if you are not biased you will see the problem.

The explanation for your criticisms (the valid ones) would in itself take up an entire thread, look at my longer blogs for some in depth explanations, specifically "The meaning of exclusives" and "Colliding into the cost walls of game development".

A simple response would be people are focusing on PC too much to note the condition of console gaming, many of your criticisms of PC gaming will likely be replicated on the console side. If you look at the GS list you will note that PC has a far greater exclusivity (orange names) to cross platform ratio than consoles, something people should think on before accusing PC of losing support.

Fanboys aren't interested in looking beyond the surface, to the point that they will often make a fool of themselves by saying something silly like "PC developers fleeing to consoles". Never mind there are more consoles games going cross platform than PC, as shown by the number of cross platform games on consoles compared to PC. Also never mind the exclusive games consoles do get tend to be 1st and 2nd party, in other words paid for exclusives.

Consoles are a cross platform dumping ground that have to pay for most of their exclusives, therefore anti PC criticisms from the console end have little significance when you can see PC is doing fine. Of course most of them will outright ignore everything I am saying, they are too used to the idea PC is dieing to change the way they think.

It's late my end, logging for the night, will check replys tomorrow.

[QUOTE="clubsammich91"]Watch this game be delayed over and over again until it falls into development hell, never to be seen again. It's happened before with games like this and it sure can happen again.UnknownSniper65

I guess you could call me excited, but I'm guessing you're a dude and dudes can't have multiple orgasms(We're built to fire once, like a musket.) Anyways yes I am excited for MW3. It's a shame we have to live through another Treyarch game before we get to MW3 , but I'll live.
