Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is there any Xbox360 game worth playing that won't be out on PC?

RPGJock on 19 January 2008

I guess if you think hard about it, there are a few games...

Let see Rock Band, Dead Rising, Saint Row, Crackdown, Forza.and a handful of XBLA games.

Lost Odyssey, Too Human and Ninja Gaiden are future releases that are promising. Outside of that, not much. The Halos, Gears, Mass Effects, Bioshocks, Fables will end up on the PC eventually. They even have Guitar Hero on the PC now.



I'm just saying...

MrMafoo.. Did you just rate 360 online gaming higher than PC online gaming? o_O

That's what I was thinking.


 Sorry if it came across that way. No, I didn't not mean PC gaming online is worse. I have a few lvl 70 WoW chars to prove it ;)

No, I mean for the games that are common across both platforms, seem to have a better online experience. Like Gears of War for example. Almost everyone has voice, all systems are equal too, so for competitive play you can take equipment out of the equation.

Also, being that consoles sell far more games then PC's, when they make a game with both platforms in mind, they tend to dumb down the controls so it will run well on a console. In doing so, it usually ends up being just as easy (or easier) to control with the controller. And if everything else is equal, I would rather use my TV/Surround Sound system over my PC. I do have a 30" dell monitor and surround sound for my PC, but relaxing on the couch just seems like a better fit for me.

Oy. I see this thread brought in a few of my favorite anti-360 trolls.

Yes, there will be many games on the 360 that never make it to PC. While many will, there are also a slew of them that will stay on consoles. Legend's list looks pretty good though I expect a few of those to hit PC in the future.

Well, if you like to play online, XBL is what you get with the 360. Even if all the games come to the PC, you won't have the same online experience playing that version.

Also, while sports games are on both, I find them more fun on a console for some reason. And currently, the 360 has the best version of most sports games. Although if your trying to figure out if you want a PS3 vs a 360, the difference is probably not enough to warrant one over the other. Both consoles play well enough.


That's right, your PC online experience will be far superior!

No fees, (most of the time) no screaming, swearing, racist, obnoxious, prepubescent little 11/12/13 year olds, no month-long downtime, abundant custom content, etc.

Ninja Gaiden 2.

Also, who said Halo? Both of the first two are on PC. I'm asuming the third will be as well.
  I said Halo. It's just my opinion but the first two took years to come to the pc and they were very poor ports. I don't know about the second one, but the first one did not even have the split screen multiplayer feature. I don't know what microsoft is planning, but I think it will be the same for Halo 3.

Well first of all PC gaming sucks, so get a 360, or if you have one, keep it.
