PC Games V.S. Console Games

BETTER??????????????????????

You've GOTTA be kidding me :laugh: man oh man.

Anyway, to Trabovel:

What can be more fun than Super Smash Bros. Brawl online????? NOTHING that's what.
Believe me, consoles are gonna step all over PCs all over again in this next generation(not graphically, but stratigically and qualitically hehe =D ).

What an excellent comeback argument! I liked the way you used lots of unnecessary question marks, and then answered my post by avoiding the whole issue I presented you with! Top marks, a glorious career as a politician presents itself to you with open arms.

What can be more fun than Smash Bros Online? Lesse. Taking part in a forty man raid in WoW you kill a massive angry dragon, fighting against 20 bots with 4 people in Counter Strike: Source, naming yourselves famous political figures and fighting the good fight in Titan Quest at a LAN centre, and sending an orc army to crush the Imperial Guard in Dawn of War. Trust me, I've played these experiences, and they're golden, simply golden.
Also, do you have any actual proof that consoles are going to step all over Personal Computers? I remember people saying that about... 5 years ago. Can't quite remember why though.... oh yes... The PS2.

GameSpy: Still PC only?

[Will Wright]: Well, actually we are going to go on all platforms, but we will come out on PC first. We will even come out on cell phones and stuff.

That was just FYI, not exactly part of the debate.

The fact is, PC games have a larger number of high quality games that consoles do. They've been around longer, so they have the history going for them. Games designed for PCs are generally much better on PCs. Games designed for consoles are generally much better on consoles (Halo PC kinda sucks).

I remember seeing that written about the Movies. But I suppose it's probably true, considering it's EA.

PC may have variety but I don't see it in your post?........all the games you mention are war-related games which really get boring after a while(personally).

I'd still love to play Street Fighter online (with a GOOD controller) than any war/strategy game

Baldur's Gate/Thief/Max Payne 2/Rag Doll Kung Fu/Prince of Persia/GT Legends/Diablo 2. Those games were the ones I mentioned. None of them are war-related games.

Baldur's Gate: RPG, much like FF.
Thief: A game about being a Medieval Thief.
Max Payne 2: A game about shooting robbers and murderers.
Rag Doll Kung Fu: A game about ragdolls beating the crap out of each other.
Prince of Persia: a platform game.
GT Legends: A racing game.
Diablo 2: Another RPG.

Also: I congratulate you on loving Street Fighter Online, but I fail to see how that makes the entirety of consoles better. It's personal preference about one game.

is there a game like Mario Party there?

Is there a game like Super Smash Bros. or Street fighter?

Is THERE a game like Zelda?

A game like Final Fight?

PC fails man. It doesn't make people happy.

Just those people who like graphics and playing war-related games online

You ask me if there are beat 'em ups for the PC like you expect there to be. There isn't because PC games are normally played with the keyboard and mouse, the games are shaped around this fact.

But there are games like Zelda. Baldur's Gate 2 (the real one, not the crap console versions) is critically acclaimed by almost everybody but ignorant PC hateboys. And that, some people claim, surpasses Zelda, thanks to its variety, open endedness, and story.

It appears, by your list, that consoles are only for people that like playing beat 'em up.s I'm not a great fan. I quite like Tekken, but that's basically it as far as it goes. But I can see why people like them. They're good games, just I wouldn't buy them.

If PCs didn't make people happy, then the PC wouldn't have such a big market. It wouldn't have the biggest online gamers population. It wouldn't have one of the best selling games ever (Sims 2) in its ranks. It wouldn't constantly be stolen from by console developers (hello Doom 3, hello Half Life 2, hello Baldur's Gate, hello Everquest, hello Call of Duty, hello Spore, hello Max Payne, hello Far Cry, hello Battlefield, hello Battle for Middle Earth, hello The Sims, hello FEAR, etc etc....)

Your ignorant view points are hilarious. You say the PC is for those who only likes war games and graphics, even when I have already given you a complete list of games that have nothing at all to do with war.

Yes, but the best and most famous ones for PC are always war-related or shooting related or strategy related which falls in the war-realted genre(which I just made up ). Anyway, those games like FEAR and Call of Duty, I don't like those games, nor do they sell well, 'cause console gamers are not into that stuff, so it's REALLY pointless for developers import these games into consoles.

I remember back around 1995 when Microsoft claimed that PCs were gonna run consoles out of the market :laugh:

funny

Not true. Monkey Island is one of the most famous games, and that isn't war at all. Civilization 4 is another example. It has features of war in it, but you can play it perfectly peacefully, without having to go gun-ho. And in case you hadn't noticed, most games are about violence.

Onto your point about sales. It's rubbish. Call of Duty 2 on the Xbox360 got to number 1 in Britain, and is one of the most successful games on the console. Killzone did very well. Hang on... Halo did very well as well. These are war/shooting games, the ones you said gamers weren't interested in. Is that why self titled Halo beaters are still being made? As far as I can see, the beat 'em up market is failing, with less and less games of that genre coming out.

Also: Microsoft, in case you hadn't noticed, often lie. They are addicted to it. But that doesn't mean the PC is any less of a good games platform. Might spell something for the Xbox though...
