imo blizzard games belong on PC. Use the extra resources to make the PC version as good as possible.

I'm pretty sure Blizzard has the resources to make 20 different versions of diabloe 3 as good as possible.
For me, diablo has always been a pc game, but I've moved past playing on pc. So if they make it for consoles... I'm going to buy it, but I would buy it on pc if they didn't anyway...

So you dumbed down your gaming to inferior means? why?
|
for a variety of reasons really.
1. I'm more comfortable with a controller than mouse and keyboard
2. I don't have to worry about upgrading my parts in my console every year in order to play the newest games.
3. I don't have to bother with constantly adjusting settings in the game just to make it work right.
4. Most of the games I like are on the consoles, and not on the pc.
So there are my reasons, also, just because it doesn't look as good, doesn't mean it is inferior.

1, controllers work on PC
2. Every 3 - 5 years is the standard for upgrades. And most of the time they are cheap upgrades by that time. And look if you want motion on the PS3 or 360 it costs $100 so that costs about the same as an PC upgrade and games are cheaper on PC.
3. this is why most console games are glitchy, they cant be adjusted to get better framerates.
4. This is more preference. All the game genres are available on PC.

1 controllers don't work on every pc game. For example, Diablo III will more than likely not have a controller option on the computer
2. depends on the starting specs of the computer, plus starting cost of a decent pc is a lot higher than a console. pc gaming is definitely more expensive to be into, I don't think there is any debating that.
3. console games glitchy? have you played pc games before?
4. exactly.
|
2. I remember a certain console starting selling at a lose at $599.99. For $599 you can build a decent PC. Just stick with AMD.
3. Other then the bad port, PC games normally aren't very glitchy at all. No worse then the best console game, but most of the time better.

cmon man, can you really use that argument for number 2? While 599 can net you a fairly decent setup (and by decent I mean Barely) that doesnt negate the fact that now the same console is half that price and the games just keep getting better. In order to see an improvement in software purchased for a pc, you must upgrade, something that developers do for you on consoles. Tell me one game you can play on a $599 rig thats going to look as good as kz3, uc2 etc. Now tell me one game that you can play on a $299 rig that can play any new major release period. Fact is console gaming is much more convenient and less expensive for those who only purchase a handful of titles througout ownership of said console. I happen to be fortunate enough to own a good gaming pc, 360, and ps3, but not everyone does and a $299 price tag is much more alluring then say a $1200 pc that allows you to play games with negligible amounts of increased fidelity.
Furthermore, most people do not want to spend the time to learn the ins and outs of pc care and how to upgrade without screwing everything up. Most times, there is much tweaking and adjusting settings that needs to be done in order to fully enjoy everything a game has to offer, not to mention picking up an hd monitor and the right accessories. While the same could be said for consoles needing hdtv's, nowadays most individuals who own these systems already own an hdtv of some sort since they are fairly cheap compared to a few years ago and use them for other means in addition to their console(s). Console gaming is the number one form of entertainment for one reason: accessbility.
