I'm Feeling too lazy to play Lazy Port Games on the PC!!!

It's been sometime now...I've yet to come across a great and well optimized game on the PC platform. I've tried Superbike 09, Velvet Assassin, PURE, Rainbow Six Vegas 1&2 and some other games...

Now I've realised that..Doesn't mean i have a high end rig for my PC, I'm free from bugs technically.And doesnt mean a high end pc will give u the best PC gaming Experience.

One instance..i do have a gaming mouse..but i've realiseed that some games like Hour Victory, is way too fast in turning..even though i've set the game's mouse sensitivity to 1..i still dont feel good with it...

Up to date..still there aren't many games which does actually support Mouse Button 4 & 5. I wonder why...i bought a gaming mouse to play games rite? and when i buy a game..i dont see how is the gaming mouse helping the game...The technology of Mouse 4 and 5 buttons are there on the PC..but Developers are not using it..it's never a must to use it..but the least they could do is to at least support it...

As the technology increases, PC should get better looking games..bigger level designs...extra Animations and physics and etc..We PC gamers buy a PC for few extra thousand dollars compared to a single console itself...and our hardware..is about 3 to 4 times better now on the PC compared to the consoles..

So the real question is..Why do we get the same quality game as the console besides the resolutions?

We have the same level designs..controls...and there are even games with no graphic options, and as for that case..what will happen to the users who dont have a high end PC? They may exceed the minimum requirements a little..but when there are no Graphic Options to be tweaked for a particualr game..how are they gonna get smooth framerates??

So i wonder...we paid so much for a PC to play games...but the result is...we will get the same game as what the console get..same graphics..same capabilities and gameplay experience..and whenever i played those games..i dont feel natural..sometimes i felt that the sensitivity and keyboard mapping are not right..so far this year...theres no great multiplatform game on a PC yet...

I wish the developers would give PC the advantages on games..they can do bigger games..better graphics on the PC..and more deeper gameplay as well...stop porting games from the consoles and start porting games from PC...or at least do a diffrent gameplay experience like what GRAW (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter) did...

We dont want to play a game that is pushing the consoles to its limit on our PC..we want to play games that are making full use of PC hardwares and its own capabilities...which includes 7.1 surround..Directx10, EAX support..16:10 widescreen...Ageia Physx, Quad SLI, Quad Cores...support all these technologies and you will see the huge diffrence in PC gaming..

As for now..i will try my best to play these lazy port games..

But if one day PC gaming were to die..i really really hope i could get the same deeper gameplay experience on the consoles as i used to get on the PC back in those days..where games are deeper in gameplay..and graphics are improving each and every year...

Cuz from what i see in the latest trailer for modern warfare 2..the game just looks decent but not great..imagine if call of duty is still a PC exclusive like how it's used to be...Call of Duty 1 and Call Of Duty 2 shows the graphical difference.. But i dont see it in Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2...If there is..i'm sure it'll be mininal...


I wish all the other PC Gamers the very best of luck enduring these crap!!!

Pc is losing expansion packs....

In the year of 1997 to 2005....i had no problem playing PC games...besides some performance issues due to my PC specs..but other than that..PC games were always the one with the best visuals, and the best performance...and the best functions...

Along that..some of the top games are often being accompanied beautifully with their expansion packs..with that said..it improved the experience of the games themselves...

But in 2007 to date...i could hardly see an expansion pack or even special edition package for the PC version..its hard to hear the word "EXPANSION PACK" besides strategy games...Most of it was..."DLC..DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT" from my knowledge...this word was made up from consoles...a content which u can download to enhanced your gameplay experience with the game itself..

I owned both PC and Xbox 360..but too bad..most of the games i owned is for my PC..But the end was **** DLC for the games chose to come out on the consoles instead than on the PC..if u were to calculate it fairly..there are tons of skins..map packs..add ons..that was added to the console database as DLC, compared to the PC...sometimes i just find it unfair.

People may argue that PC have mod tools...But NOT ALL PC games can be modded...i myself like to play the game by its own experience given originally..i would only use modded files if the game needed to be fix on vista or for higher resolution texture..Other than that...i am not really into it...

One of the newer games i had,Prince Of Persia...Ubisoft did not even mention about DLC in the first place..as a PC gamer..i chose to buy my Fourth Prince Of Persia Game for the PC, just like how i chose to buy the past trilogy of the prince..But this time around..I felt that my enjoyment was struck by the light of disappointment,...from the graphic settings options given to a graphical standpoint...with no patches till date..i am really not enjoying this prince's journey...

But what boils me up the most is that..The expansion pack for the 2009 prince, didnt hit the PC market at all...I was shocked to realised that Ubisoft, one of the best PC developers, has decided to scrapped such an important story based content off the PC due to some stupid buisiness reasons which they mentioned..its totally irrelevant..

Since that experienced...i am not gonna buy Ubisoft games anymore for the PC. Wasted my money on Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (Sound issues) Splinter Cell Double Agent (Graphic Corruptions) Prince Of persia (Stuttering) Far Cry 2 (BSOD) Brothers in arms: HH (Texture corruption)...

Nowadays, a Console Port Game to PC is not trustworthy..look at games like saints row 2, Pure, Conflict Denied Ops, Hour Of Victory, Kane and Lycnh, Dirt, Need For Speed Prostreet..i can go on and on with the list..and all of these are bad port games..

Like I've mentioned earlier in the first part..PC games have the best Visuals, Performance, and mechanics...Now it seems the other way around...I wonder if this will go on forever..,


Ps: Console has been there for a long long time during windows 95,98..so its not to be blamed..but Developers..and Microsoft themselves kills PC..And its never PIRACY which brought these games to the garbage bin...

The Mother Of All Platforms Is Dying!

One thing i've noticed is that most PC games nowadays do not have good qualities and good tittles that can be found on a console. I'm pretty dissappointed that Vista did not help the PC games to strive up just like the way it's used to be in the 90's era! Thanks to Microsoft...You Never had a nice way of Promoting Win Vista..

I mean..Vista should be a next gen gaming system for Windows..and is Halo 2 Considered Next Gen?...They should promote Crysis to be vista exclusive instead of Halo 2...cuz Halo 2 can definitely run on Win 98 with a pentium 2 processor and a 8MB video card...!

When will PC games be as good as the 360 games? I'm lucky to have own a 360...but it's still sad seeing PC games dying slowly and slowly..With all the good games getting away..and all is left are RPG **** that couldn't even impress a hardcore gamer like me! The only good RPG game is Dark Messiah Might & Magic so far.Oblivion has the graphics..but the combat system sucks!

i guess the time is up for the Mother of all Platforms..it's time for her to leave her gaming skills,and pass the gaming era to her children (Consoles):(

Man..I can't buy GTA 4!

Man..i hate this..my country is a so so secure country that they banned some of the games..Grand Theft Auto games are the number one game that my country,Singapore will ban! From GTA 1 to GTA 3,including San andreas,none of it were sold in stores legally..!! I have to admit all of the GTA games i bought are illegal..

But now,it seems like games are full filled with protection..i guess i cant buy an illegal copy of it anymore.thanks to my country that i wont be a ble to play games like GTA,Carmageddon,Playboy Mansion etc legally...

I can't order it online coz i don't have a Visa Card..for singapore..u can only purchase games online is by using a Visa Card..and for that,u need to have at least $5000 in your account bank! i guess i won't be gettin GTA 4 then...:cry:

NO Mo' PiracY 4 mE!

Well...Time to cut down piracy i guess....hmm..I think Original Cd's have better quality..Of course i have more pirated than original..But when i compare them..Pirated seems to be easily damaged and is not secure..U can't update anything on Pirated nowadays...One of the reasons i bought pirated is because...The original of the game are not in the stores everywhere in my country..that is why...and of course..it's cheap..But now..i'ma only buy original!!
