There is also Gears of War, Half Life Orange Box, with Timesplitters, and Far Cry 2 coming, with Crysis also on its merry way. So the same FPS games that are on PC are on consoles as well, and there is bigger amount of console only shooters that arent on PCs at all. Consoles have overtaken the FPS/Shooter genre. PC fanboys are going to ignore the facts and talk about specs and kb/m again but I will own you some more. ;p

well, to be fair you prompted the elitist bull with your incredibly ignorant commentary.

short life cycle PCs? my last PC lasted me 5 years, and then, i only had to upgrade for supreme commander. how long between the ps2 and ps3 btw?

hate to break it to you champ, but i ran crysis on full (using one of those config hack tools to unlock the higher res modes) with barely an issue. people that have the hardware but cant run the games are those that are more akin in experience to console plebs and dont know how to make their machine run "squeeky clean".

Not to mention, besides Crysis there is very few games that warrant an expensive PC that arent on consoles already.
expensive? PCs are mildly more expensive than a PS3, and that's if youre after something -hot.

Also the top 20 best looking games are for the most part are on consoles, with Crysis being the ONLY good looking PC game.
firstly, who gives a about "best looking"?
Forged alliance is one of the most beautiful games to date and the port coming to the xbox looks like bum in comparison. Bioshock, CoD4 assassin's creed etc all run and look better on PC.

all your doing is posting about games i couldnt give a about. why on earth would i give a about GT5 when i could post 10 racing games i thought were better than the previous GTs? and LOL at you including FF XIII - i already explained how inconsequential the console RPGs are.
These might be great ing titles, but mario galaxy is the only game im sorry not to have in the last 15 years since I ditched consoles.
Plus, you cant really lump all those games together because youre essentially giving yourself 3 consoles, which in today's money costs way more than a PC that is more powerful anyway.

yes, and they're never quite as good. they always lose something in the translation, even if its a great port.

Why do you keep construcing these strawmen arguments against me? I couldn’t give a about MMOs, they can become 100% console exclusive for all I care, perhaps that will mean less children making stupid comments in forums of games that I participate in.

originated on consoles? what a load of bollocks. who created basically every genre we play mate?
Hey, and have you guys worked out how to get your machine to save games whenever you want yet? :p

That said im a PC gamer too, and will probably invest in one when DX10 and Vista matures some more and there are more PC games worth getting a PC out (Crysis being the ONLY one atm). In the meantime being a realist, I like shoving my foot up elitist(douchebag) PC gamer ass.
and as long as someone makes statements like "FPS's on console dominate the PCs" i will keep bringing in my elitist arse to teach the young kiddies a thing or two.

You didn't answer his question fool. He wanted to know how they are better? Not how many there are. And I love it how you mention bioshock "PS3 rumours" whilst going on about being able to play GT4 before us PC heads.
NONE of those titles are better than their PC counterpart (assuming its out on PC).
i have yet to play a shooter on a console that wasnt when compared to a similar PC shooter.

LoL@5 years PC...let me guess you also played games on high settings in the last 3 years of its life (nah you didnt and you still spent thousands on a PC). Pksraistlin...based on your piss poor replies...your head is so far up your ass Its a waste of time to hold a mirror up to show you, cause you cant see it. :stongue:

LOL, because consoles don't have performance problems! Mass effect anyone? Sure, I had to scale back some settings as the years went on, but the fact is that I had the choice to do so, or i had the choice to upgrade components if i so chose. And the fact that running at more than 1200x1024 wasn't that important to me. I especially like those console shooters that drop well below 30 FPS during "busy" periods and there's all you can do about it.
little boy, ive been gaming longer than you've been alive so if you wanna make glib replies because you realise your experience pales into insignificance when compared to the aura that is my wealth of gaming knowledge, then be my guest. But you're not fooling anyone.

Congrats, millions of gamers who buy consoles every month are wrong and very small amount of people who buy gaming rigs and games for PC are right. Its a shame hardcore PC gamers really have no argument but the usual, im older than you, im richer than you, my PC card is faster than your console (even though there are more games and better games on consoles), kb/m is l33t and more fun than controller (lol). I kinda feel sad for you. But hey, everyone believes in something strongly, and thats all I can make of your ignorance, so im not gonna beat a dead horse.

totally missing my point. consoles are great, some console games are truly great. In all likelihood, console games might even last longer than PCs, unless the PC developers can do something to reduce the levels of piracy :(
but that doesn't make their games better. compare the rogue spear games against that hole that is vegas. that is what console games do to PC titles -f or precisely the reason you mentioned: there are far more console gamers. Im sorry, but there will always be a tendency towards genericness when your userbase is so large.

no, my games look and run better, have more customisation, don’t require bloody LIVE to play online, and generally are higher-brow than the equivalent console games (which is the whole reason I sold my megadrive for my shiny new 486).

Haha, I believe in everything strongly. What's the point in having opinions if they're all wishy-washy?
Don’t feel sorry for me. I earned about $50 arguing with you just now instead of doing work. And then im gonna go home and play forged alliance, a game that requires far too much processor power for your lil PS3. and then on the weekend ill go round and have a ball on my mate's wii or PS3, because they're far far more social (except for LAN parties obviously).
