So PSWii60 multiplats should have Wii graphics and online? Wii games shouldn't ever use motion controls?

Every game should be the best it can be on the platform it's on.

Point is, you had to change the defult setting to manipulate the numbers in a knowing effort to promote your point, and it wasn't honest. If that was the point, that reviews don't matter, you should have been upfront about what you did.

I never said any of those games are crap, but they aren't what was being discussed, and you know it. Neither was Xbox 360 vs PC. They were cherrypicked, or spun, or whatever you want to call it, to misrepresent what everyone would call obvious BS on. I didn't name any numbers relating to the 360, and that was furthest from my mind. I'm talking about videogame console exclusives this generation, vs PC exclusives, and how the best PC exclusives are RTS, MMO, or indy games, because they are forced on the platform, due to lack of playability on Console, and how the overall exclusives for the PC are lacking compared to the entire breadth of console exclusives this gen(including DS and PSP for that matter), which are bolstered by first parties and capital. Even the multiplats tend to come to pc later, the lastest of which being AC2.

Of course, Half-Life, by that logic, isn't a PC exclusive, because it was released on PS2. Console owners just didn't get to play it for a long time.

I don't feel like debating anymore. You can't cheat like that, it's not fair, and it proves your agenda. :P Please don't do that. If you want to make a claim like that, give me all the information, dont' try to disguise it by staying silent. You have to knowingly change the review count, because I had to as well, there is no other way.

No one prevents developers from using dedicated servers on console games.

Yes!... Well, exept the platforms themselves.

Not sure what you mean by that.  Developers can and do use dedicated servers for their games.  Forza 3 is an example of a game that will use dedicated servers for multiplayer.  Perhaps you are referring to the fact that customers cannot host their own dedicated servers on console games.  Well, that too, would be wrong:

"Section 8 publisher SouthPeak Games, along with developer TimeGate Studios, is set to break new ground on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment platform from Microsoft by supporting X Server functionality, an option where players can run their own dedicated servers using a Windows-based PC."

good thread read,

brilliant not only do we have PSWii360 wars going on,there is consoles ruining PC gaming wars,where does it all end...lol.......year on year games seem to be more amazing to me....wherever they are.....

but anyway that wasn't my point,although i have gamed for many years on and off,i remember elite on the bbc and chuckie egg plus the commodore and spectrum wars at school.....sigh

i have never been in a postion to online game.......for whatever reason......but now i can and know for a fact that i'd rather be in a community than a free for all with nutters ruining things.....forgive my lack of knowledge here........

so obvioulsy you can co-op story/campaign game online with just your mate can you.....without interference.......console/pc.....

and in these squad based military type games,you can get a few friends and do a campaign mode right...console/pc.....i mean this is what you lot do right.....

or is it just a massive free for all with your squad against other online squads........pc/console

or do you all just walk around killing each other......scoring points......in specific places of game worlds........pc

because i can't for the life of me wonder why people would want to play online with 1000's of people doing stupid annoying/spoiling things all the time......

anyway please tell me how/which style you actually play........is it all without story and just massive death match type things......going on......thanks

I couldn't read.... an........y.....of......................that....I wonder.............why.....................................................................................................

Lol.

I disagree. For starters, I don't know who you're referring to them being successes for, the developer or the publisher? You can't tell me how many people have bought an Xbox 360 because of Mass Effect, and I'd wager it's a fair number. Since you've provided no figures for the budgets, it's hard to comment on how much more Mass Effect's sales helped it. Marketing, however, unlike sales, does not have anything to do with the developer, that cost is the publisher's, and I'm sure Microsoft isn't seeing that as a huge loss.

Meh, I won't be playing the PC version. So this doesn't effect me, it actually sounds like a smart thing to do, keeps pirates at bay!
so me = Not signed.

Besides, you can LAN over the internet, it's just a little difficult. but there are free programs that do the work for you.
