Yes we do need to constantly remind you. We are the Master Race. All your games are belong to us.

 

out of all that stuff you posted, and that giant list of free to play MMOs, only one game interest me. Star Citizen (currently a backer)

Good thing I own gaming consoles too, that should make me above the master race. Yeah, God Gamer Race. we should remind you peepz that only own one platform.

You shouldn't make the assumption that I only own a single platform.
If I can afford a high-end, water cooled PC, you can bet your ass I can afford to buy a console or three.

First, I disagree that the console TBS games are not in the same league as the ones you mentioned. I mean how was the last Heroes of Might and Magic or Settlers compared to the past few Disgaea? I know Civ is well regarded but so is Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, X-Com, Valkyria Chronicles. Btw, just saw that Civ 2 was on the PS1.

Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre is on PC thanks to emulation.
Valkyria, X-Com, Disagaea is on PC.

Civilization 2 on PS1 is nothing like the PC version.

Just like how Civilization: Revolution on the Xbox 360 is nothing like the PC version.
Let's compare them?

Let's start with the PS1 Version:


And now the PC version:
Civilization 2 (The counterpart to the PS1 version):

***************
Massive difference in how the games are presented, which also translates to big differences in gameplay.
The PS1 just cannot hold a candle to the PC version.

And now the Xbox 360 version:



And Civilization 4 released the same year as the 360 version:



And just for kicks. Here is Civilization 5 in all it's Eyefinity glory.

As for MMOs, Warcraft is past its prime - I thought it had terrible gameplay, btw. Of the recent ones, FFXIV, Neverwinter and Elder Scrolls Online are all on consoles.

Can't disagree with you there. WarCraft has had the writing on the wall for years now.
But there are still over 10+ million subscribers.

Sadly. Consoles will never get the StarWars MMO made by Bioware which was one of the most expensive games ever developed.

A touchscreen is more precise and faster than KB+M - doesn't make it fun to play that.

Hell no it ain't.

Your fingers lack the fine tuned pixel-precision of a mouse pointer. Fingers are fat. - Touch Screens also have zero tactile feedback, thus typing/general input will always be inferior to the keyboard.

Ultimately, me not gaming on PC = missing on a couple of genres that I don't enjoy. If I were not gaming on consoles, then I'd be missing out on the greatest games, simple as that.

"Greatest Games" is all opinion of course. Every platform has a selection of games that rate extremely highly. The PC is no exception.
The PC has some of the best games of all time ever released as per reviewed scores and consistently appearing in top 100 lists.
