thread op is probably never going to reply because SoTN would have exploded his head after playing super castlevania 4 or whatever

- facebook applications and indie scene (PC devs),
- cellphone games (decent console devs will have to abandon handhelds when such platforms reach enough processing power to concentrate on 3d games only - see PSP problems with decent library of games),
- porn games (japs).
(goes back to Ogre Battle and Unreal)
And by Skyway logic that makes them console developers.Alexandros said:spekkio don't act like you don't understand. Yes, all these people were PC people but they declined hard when they started designing games for a different audience, ie the mass market.
And what point was it, cuz' I'm kinda lost in your flawless "We're discussing RTS' RTS" reasing...?MC said:It proves a certain point and it isn't yours.

Was that your regular "PC games > console games" or some variant?
Morgoth said:The decline didn't kick in with the advent of consoles, that's bullshit. Obviously the Playstations were already around when still many good PC games were released.
It was aound 2001 or so when Microsoft raped the market with the Xbox. Not only was it a shit system, also MS policy and all the pressure/bribing of publishers to release games primarily on Xbox was what caused the major shift. It even got worse with Xbox 360.
Remember Monolith? Right now I'm downloading Blood 2 The Chosen just to get a feel for a good old 90s FPS again.
NOLF series, even FEAR 1 was fucking classic. They had a leading edge because they developed PC exclusive.
Monolith now? Well, judge for yourself.
You mean this:MetalCraze said:It was "consoletards would rather die than play a game that requires them to play a game"
MetalCraze said:"games need to be dumbed down to get released on consoles"
Great comparison. Using same logic:MetalCraze said:PC gamers have Thief
Consoletards have MGS - do I need to say more?
MetalCraze said:Except console games were always simple and "dumbed down".
Find at least a single complex console game.
Consoles just showed that 'anything sells'. Retards will pay a lot for games that are barely games. It just took a long time for PC devs and publishers to understand this so they kept producing a better game than the next guy as they treated the game market as a tech-market where better hardware sells.
You can now find a console-"anything sells" analogue on PCs as well - indie games.

I don't think Crysis is the epitome of gaming. I don't think it proves alone some superiority of the PC. I don't think it's to be held up for pure "graphics whore" standards. I just think Crysis is a good game.Spellcaster said:The typical IGN/gamefaqs/whatever user that loves CoD shouldn't, by all means, be tagged as a "console player" in a pejorative way, it's simply an idiot with no taste, the same way the PC crowd is filled with retarded graphic whores that think Crysis is the epitome of gaming and mention it at every chance to prove the superiority of the PC.
I don't see anything special. You just play by holding a single button all the time.spekkio said:
Contra 4 is an extremely simple game - once again.
PC gamers also have Soul Calibur since nothing stops us from running an emulator with a gamepad connected to a PC. Also Guilty Gear is a better fighting game.Consoletards have Soul Calibur, PC gamers have One Must Fall.
Yeah, I don't get the point either. It's not like they are debating some kind of legislation, where only one of the bills gets passed but not all. It's just a matter of the merits of a consumer product. Nobody stops anyone from playing on PC. Nobody stops anyone from playing on a console. Nobody stops anyone from playing on both.Trash said:Consoles vs pc is as lame as when it was c64 vs amstrad. These 'discussions' only exist so you can square whomever takes them seriously into the 'fucking retarded' corner.
