Fantastic.
Now show me an awesome exclusive PC title that is not an indie game.
Aw, shit, got none.
Sure it's not dead, but console gaming these days is ways better. |
Starcraft 2? Crysis? Age of Empires Online? The Witcher 1 & 2? About 90% of MMOs?
You might as well include Team Fortress 2, Oblivion and Fallout 3 considerring how much updates and mods have changed the core gameplay experience.
|
Crysis (1) will be out on consoles.
TW2 will be on 360 soon. They were gonna port TW1 but decided against it since they don't wanna half-ass it.
Never heard a thing about AoE online, and I dislike MMO's wherever they may be. How much of them are notable, anyway? Wow, the old republic, lineage 2, aion, and eve. Can't think of anything else.
You'd do bad to include multiplats with good mods - that's all they are, multiplats. They are almost always better on PC and the almost sole reason to own a gaming PC.
Starcraft 2 is great though ;)
|
The almost sole reason to own a gaming PC? And why won't you count indie games? Many of them are awesome and exclusive to the PC.
|
Because they are not at large. The stance "PC gaming is dead" is mainly the stance of the developers rather than the gamers, and the devs mainly don't make PC exclusives. Indie stuff is so there and so dominant because the PC is simple put the best platform to develop for if you want to do it cheaply and effectively - no devkits to buy, no licenses and fees to pay.
And yeah, the near-sole reason to own a gaming PC.
|
So you don't count MMO's, Indie games, games that are miles better on PC and what else? Strategy games? Dota-type games? All of this makes PC-gaming very worthwile to me. I'm beginning to play consoles less and less and PC more and more largely thanks to Steam and its discounts. Not to mention all of the emulators you can use if you so wish (to play PS1, Nes, GB, Wii, GC, PS2 games and so on).
|
Of course I don't count games that are miles better on PC. I said exclusives. Nice condescending statement after that though ;)
Emulators are the rest of the reason to own a gaming PC, good mention.
|
What is so condescending? You should really look at what you were saying before...
"Now show me an awesome exclusive PC title that is not an indie game.
Aw, shit, got none." We mentioned many PC exclusives
"And yeah, the near-sole reason to own a gaming PC." If this is what you really think I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You should try gaming on a PC some time.
|
All I got from this is MMO's, 3 exclusives, some indie games (lots of which are on XBLA, PSN, and WiiWare, anyway) and superior multiplats. Nice job! Your condescence was in asking me what was I gonna say next.
I did try gaming on a PC. But its only advantages vs a console is in pushing better graphics and framerate and having better controls in shooters.
