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...
