I really have no idea what 95% of those games are. You could be listing any old piece of shit for all I know. How about some info or something.

 

Well, Diablo 3 and starcraft 2 alone make it the best lineup of 2009.

 

Don't forget Duke Nukem Forever.

Dude.... Put in the strippers/money, freeze gon/boot, and shrink gun/boot and this title CAN'T FAIL. In fact they should make a special AO version too. OH OH and a Tomb Raider cross over as well!!! I have such fond memories of Duke. In the basement of university where I was little we'd have some awesome Duke Nukem and Warcraft II DM games. Oh the good old times....

Can I just bookmark this page (i only have 2 bookmarks total for the past 6 years) and then I don't have to bother adding more crap to my minimalistic sig? You can keep yours, you post as much as me.

How do you LIVE without bookmarks?  I have dozens upon dozens, they're almost a history of my adventures on the internet.  I periodically purge the more useless ones but it still grows over time. 

P.S.  You can count on me to help you out with SCII.

I'm generally good with addresses, the only 2 bookmarks (3 now) I had to deal with C++ and Java libraries.

 

There IS another option, donate enough money so that on Dec. 31st I can buy whatever SC2 is lacking, if it is.

Why would you take the games down?  Just don't call them exclusives because they aren't.  Telling people to get games like Braid and Mirror's Edge is a wonderful thing, they just aren't exclusives.  I don't care about what platform has the better quality, that's an entire other argument that I just don't care enough to get into, I'm just pointing out a wrong. 

Well, the entire list was supposedly PC exclusive, so if it's not, then it shouldn't be on the list -- unless he adds a new section, of course.

If Diablo III was indeed coming out in 2009 I would be prepared to agree with the title, but it is in fact not coming out in 2009. Zero chance. I will wager on this.

(SCII reportedly began in 2003; DIII in 2005. SCII was announced in 2007; DIII 2008. SCII comes out (partially!) in 2009; DIII, 2010 at the earliest.)

I stand by this position, shio.  Will you bet with me that your list will prove accurate as far as this game is concerned?

I think he should, why should I care only about exclusives?

Too bad that more than half of that list will be crap games...

Prove your point (of course you can't prove it)

 

 

Just like you can't prove that 2009 PC games are better than 2009 console games?

oh snap!

(and I think I see good use for this quote...)

Yeah, but unless you have one of those perfect memories I don't believe you can keep track of the amount of stuff I am keeping bookmarks of.  I mean, it's easy to remember a website address, but what about a specific thread or article or whatever?  And what about a website you don't visit often? 

I admit that a lot of my bookmarks could be substituted for by the "favorites" function a subscriber gets in YouTube, for example, but VG Chartz, for another example, does not have such a functionality that I am aware of.  Although I guess I could think of a way around that too ... but still!  That's basically just subcontracting the bookmarks. 

I would lose so much information, so many little corners of the world wide web that I would have a hell of a time tracking down again, if I had to live the way you do voluntarily.  And I wouldn't be able to browse through them and say, "oh yeah, that one".  I guess it's a cross between actual reference material and a photo album. 

To each their own I guess. 

P.S.  How's THAT for off topic?

Indeed, all this has caused the inevitable: PC HAVE BY FAR THE BEST GAMES LINEUP IN 2009 (Better than all consoles combined?)

The Sims 3 and Diablo 3 are the only games I know on this list of PC games. I use to be a huge PC gamer. However, I decided to go with consoles. PS3 has a great line-up of games for 2009.

PC lineup gobbles up and spits out PS3's weak lineup. Just saying.

Oooh, a PC fanboy! A rare sight indeed.

Well, I counted 11 games that I've heard of out of all those. This list is even more obscure than the crap some of those Wii fanboys come up with.

It's not PC's fault that you are ignorant about PC games. I can tell you that alot of the games I listed have a big potential. Some examples:

...

There's a hell of alot more examples. Why do you think PC has always the best lineup every year?

 

shio said:

I doubt any console has a better lineup on exclusive action games. But just like I said on the second post, I have not added all the bigger PC games, among them are 2 hyped action games:

 

And then the hilarity, you asking someone to prove their opinion:

Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Going to watch Wall-E and Raging Bull on my PC while laying down on my bed.

 

 

Because you can't do that without a computer.
