I'll explain why. Easy to access free multiplayer with endless communities to bring you new content. Starcraft has it, Half-Life has it, Wrcraft has it, Diablo II has it, Deus Ex does too. Please, show me a single console game that follows that, also LBP's levels can be marginally considered "new content," new level designs have existed since 1990.

Also, Dont talk to me about revolutionizing games on the consoles. Outside of mario 64 there hasn't been a single true revolutionizing game on a console outide of fighting and platforming. It has been all on PCs, RPGs, FPSes, Startegy, racing, all genre defining games have been on the PC, the consoles only copy and half-ass.

Oh come on, lol, now you're just being silly. Calm down, plz. That last paragraph is flame worthy as all hell, but let's stay civil. No need to start a flame war here.

I think Final Fantasy for the famicom was a pretty decent gamechanger for the FPS genre. I think Devil May Cry pretty much invented the modern hack and slash genre. I think FFVI(or VII) reinvented the JRPG, and I think MGS totally owns the stealth action genre, and was revoltionary.

Of course Survival Horror was invented on the console, with RE1, and I have a hard time thinking of a more influential TPS than RE4(though I'm sure this has a PC port out there somewhere). Gears of War was based on it.

That is, of course, excluding the fighting and platforming genres....for some unknown reason. I can certainly give WRPG innovations to the PC, since KoToR did eventually go multiplat, and BGII/Fallout2/DiabloII exist. Also, there is the RTS, FPS, and MMO genre, but really, RTS and MMO games are pretty much exclusive to the PC. Half-Life is a great game.

That said, there are many genre defining and changing titles on the consoles, that you aren't giving any credit. To say there is only 1 is shocking to say the least.

First of all to address KOTOR. KOTOR is a copy of Neverwinter Nights, same fighting system same everything basically. Except it had 3 classes whi.e NWN had 9, had only a handful of feats while NWN had hundreds, and a hadful of spell while NWN had well over 150. KOTOR is literally NWN but simplified kiddied up and set in Star Wars not Forgotten Realsm

Also Final Fantasy was not an FPS it was your RPG, however that just copied Wizardry even in its JRPG elements, however it did give the first top down map idea, I'll give it that. Diablo was your original hack and slash with "you vs hudreds of enemies" type of action, if you mean combos and stuff as hack and slash then please look at . As for stealth and MGS, please look at the Thief series on the PC. True survival horror was invented with Silent Hill which was on the PC and even earlier if you wanna say that the point and click adventures can be horrific. TPS is a pussified versioin of FPSes and if you mean horror shooter please look at Doom or Doom 3 even.To add more, Need for Speed was originally on the PC, and I haven't liked a NFS since Hot Pursuit 2 or Porsche.

Games with platforming and party games I don't mention because they are actually meant to be played on consoles and not PCs.
