Console gamers are a constant presence in many PC boards. Some are reasonable people. Others are just annoying.
Console gamers I can respect:
Half-Life 2: Episode One - Will it come to 360?
I freely admit that the consoles are not now nor will they ever be as powerful as the pc. I agree that games must be dumbed down in order to make the jump to consoles. Hell, just look at Half Life. The textures and everything are much more detailed on the pc. But that isn't something that i care about. Let's face it. Valve isn't a whole hell of a lot like other game making companies. I don't think that they would sell out on their main fanbase for quick profits by making a console version to be ported to the pc. The Xbox version of Half Life is outshined by its pc counterpart, but even so, it is great game. Now personally I prefer consoles because of their price and ease of use, where you don't have to install a game to play it. However, I do respect the pc power over these consoles. I think that Valve of all companies will continue to make games, and make them right, for the pc. But I hope that after each one, and only after, will they consider the possibilities associated with consoles. Even if I have to pay $60 for a dumbed down copy of a $20 game, I will do it for this one, but not many others. I agree that if they focus on making a joint-based game, it won't nearly achieve the greatness that is Half-Life, but I don't think they will do that. They might, but I hope not. shadow_soldier
Console gamers I dislike:
Resident Evil 4 - For PC? Really necessary?
I have the Gamecube version and I was amazing at the game, beat it so many times, and unlocked everything(including the handcannon). I love the game, but still...a PC version? Is that really necessary? Capcom always seems to squeeze all they can out of a good game...
Also, so what are the special features for the PC version? I don't see the point in multiplayer bc it would just be sniper matches and if they added the feature to move while shooting, then the game would be really easy and wouldn't be as scary. It was scary when you were fighting a boss when you kept running and didn't have time to stand still and take a shot...

It really doesn't matter if you can hook up a controller. most people won't bother with it, and the experience just won't be that great on the PC. There are so many better horror/action games on the PC. Capcom just wants to make more money, but it's a stupid idea to bring this to the PC. It will just feel too much of a cheap port. PC Games are just way different. Regardless...this game will be unsuccessful- no matter how many mods, easter eggs, multiplayer modes this version comes with- it's just not going to be successful when there are such better PC titles...

If this really satisfies the RE fans, then why would they port it to the PC anyway? Hardcore RE fans would own a PS2 already...
anyway, Halo PC was a good game, but it was a VERY cheap port. The netcode was horrible and used alot of code for the Xbox system-link. It was still a good game, but it felt like a cheap port the whole time. I just have a feeling RE4 will turn out the same. Sure you can mod it, but how much longevity will it add to the game? You could mod Halo PC but in reality nobody cared. There's just not much you could do with RE4 for modding. Maybe create a few missions but that's about it- and that's IF Capcom releases the SDK. I still think it's unnecessary to port this game to the console, bc now the PC has everything. This was one of the two games I would go to my Gamecube to play and now it's coming to the PC...

Star Trek: Legacy - What will be the likely PC requirements?
I'm sure it will be pretty high. Thats the beauty of the Xbox360 though, you dont need to worry you know it will be very crisp and very high graphics. I mean look at Halo3, that is stretching the limits their and it looks amazing even though it is not nearly finished. evilyoda861
Hopefully. Most likely. Yet again if you have a 360 you wont have to worry about needing to upgrade your computer furthar sucking your money out. I have a computer that is garaunteed to run this game coming out, but I will wait and see how the pc version does. Most likely exellent but I want to see what kind of mods come out. evilyoda861
Thats your choice but pc's are much more expensive and not really as reliable for big games. evilyoda861
