I read this on the BC2 forum..

for your little rant about fos only suited for the pc, YOUR AN IDIOT! i used to be an advid pc gamer but i always hated the fn mouse and key board. IT BLOWS! the console was always way more fun. ex. i buy the same system that everyone else has. no need to deal with frustrating lag because of different rigs and i dont have to spend a bagillion dollars every fn time a new game comes out. by the way fps have always done better on the consoles anyways, which is why so many developers make so many for them. besides you morons are just going to steal the games anyways.

So what effect does this have on you, facepalm, laugh, rage?

It's a bit of all three for me.

He has a point. Buy a console and be guaranteed it'll run everything that comes out for it for a few years or have to do constant updating on a PC.

Also you just put a game in and it'll run on a PS3 or Xbox, after installing of course, no need to worry if it'll run correctly or updating or patching.

I'm meh for it all though, outside is fun.

It's not a troll at all. Or an invitation to flame. Not even a PC vs Console thing. You get the same thing from PC fanboys (albeit less often).

I mean the kid you quoted was obviously trolling.

This tbh, anyone who says FPS games are better on consoles better be trolling.

Consoles are lowering the standard of PC games.

Not that I don't agree, but can you please explain? (Just curious/wondering)

What about Fallout 3?
That game runs excellent on computers, but is kinda shitty and has glitches and problems on the consoles.

But I'm talking about standards here. In the case of FO3, it seems like the console standard was lowered so that it would be easier to port over to PC, instead of vice versa (PC standard being lowered so it'd be easier to port from consoles).

How was the console standard in any way lowered?

Lower graphics, many glitches (both gameplay-wise and graphical).

Obviously most PCs are going to be able to handle higher settings better, but maybe they went too high, thus being too much for consoles?



Besides, if more people are playing on consoles, what's wrong with catering to a wider audience? I suppose if you've got all the consoles and a decent PC, it doesn't matter. But for many people, it's one or the other.

Fallout was a reverse port, the Oblivion engine was designed for PCs.

However, the clear majority of games released these days are made for consoles, then ported over to PC.

It seems that most games today are designed for the console group, and they just seem so dumbed down, repetitive and bland.

PC exclusives have always been the best games IMO. (Crysis, STALKER, BF series, Quake series, etc.) Not to mention RTS games.

(Just trying to play devil's advocate here)


Also, I will agree that the majority of games are better on PC, have you guys tried playing a platformer on PC? Maybe it's just me, but it's annoying and I hate the feel of it. I find it much easier and more fun to play a platformer on a console.

I can do both but prefer console games mainly due to the just being able to play straight out of box.
Don't care if the graphics are dumbed down by some small standard I wouldn't notice or care too or if my gameplay is simpler. Time is sparce and the less time taken patching, configuring, and on and on with PC games can be exhausting.

I think the future of "gaming" will be on consoles because people will prefer the simplicity.
