Forums - PC Discussion - 2009: PC's Best Year EVER (possibly better than all consoles combined)

shio said:
Should I add some information about each game? This way people who don't know the games or who's developing them could know more.

I'm sure that's a;ways appreciated ^^

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:

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

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

 

 

-edit-

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.

 

If I thought the PC had a line-up that could rival all consoles combined, would you think that just the PS3 alone could be admitted to rise up to the same expectations? Think of the same situation as someone coming in and say that PS3 could beat Wii, X360 and PS2 sales in 2009, when other's expectation is that the Wii will beat all other consoles combined.

Btw, I did not say that PC will have better lineup than all consoles combined, only that unlike past years, there's a sizeable chance it could happen. And in the action games bit, you can see me only comparing the action "genre" to only 1 console, not all of them.

And ofcourse, you can tell me a year when PC did not have the best line-up (except the primordial days when PC was still beginning and consoles were already abundant). Until then I stand by my point.

I watched Raging Bull, and it was a great movie. I did not mean anything either.

 

 

I am merely pointing out the hilarity of you laughing at someone for not being able to prove their opinion because it is in fact an opinion and then you go around stating your opinion as fact.

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?

It's understandable that this post got lost in the shuffle; I was posting a lot of stuff at the time and only some of it on topic.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

I don't see how this is a big deal for PC. It always has years like this and not every game on that list makes it this year (Diablo 3, for sure). It is the PC. It has (almost) always had the largest user base, always had the most games, always been the most open and easy to program for platform, etc. Nothing new. At all. Just gonna be another year for PC gaming.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

Diablo 3 will be awesome but won't be out this year.
Starcraft 2 and Demigod are on my radar this year. There will be a couple more that i'm interested in as well.

Left4dead DLC will probably be my PC GOTY, lol.

It's not JUST any year. This is the first time in FIVE years that we will see a fresh Blizzard game. FIVE years. Not to mention the fact that it's Starcraft II of all games. Also the possibility of HL3 Ep3. Any year in which Blizzard has a fresh release is exceptional, and any year in which Half-Life gets expanded is also exceptional. I hope SCII comes out a little later in the year, I know I won't be playing any other game until Diablo III comes out once SCII hits the shelves.

I don't really play PC games, I barely use my computer for anything other than internet.

If Diablo III came out tomorrow I would pick it up and not play anything else for a very very long time.

I just hope they still let me play for free, although I doubt it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

It will be free.

 



I just added RA3's expansion, with info taken from IGN (not going to bother writing info for every game, heh):

Comman & Conquer: Red Alert 3- Uprising

An epic single-player campaign, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 -- Uprising is a stand-alone title that catapults players deeper into the Red Alert universe, giving them more of the action-packed gameplay they have been clamoring for while offering a gauntlet of new and compelling challenges with the new Commander's Challenge mode. The game takes players into the aftermath of the epic battles in Red Alert 3, with the Soviets still reeling from a crushing defeat, the Empire of the Rising Sun desperately trying to regain both honor and identity and the seemingly victorious Allies finding themselves in the midst of corruption and deceit within their own ranks.

In addition to four mini-campaigns, one for each faction and one bonus campaign centered on the origins of the Empire of the Rising Sun's commando Yuriko, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising will also introduce the new Commander’s Challenge, enabling the players to test their skills against a set of nine commanders from different territories and difficulty levels in 50 unique challenges with their own special rules and unique conditions. In true Command & Conquer fashion, top Hollywood talent (including Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic) delivering the gripping story in full HD live-action cinematics.

Look, you don't HAVE to take the bet.  You're not actually required to put any stakes on the allegation you make by including in in your list.  But can't you at least answer me?  Right now, you give the appearance (IMO) of being not only afraid to bet but afraid even to respond to the bet. 

[edit:  Perhaps I made a mistake in not copying this into a PM.  I have now done so.]
