I remember when computers were the only systems to have video games… I guess developers forget this. Essentially a console system is a pc. Especially the newest consoles.. they use INTEL processors, and ATI or Nvidia graphics cards… hard rives…ram…wireless networks… and tons of other things. To say a console is “better” than a pc or better or vise versa is ignorant.

Thats not my problem here.. its that great games are becoming “exclusives” to consoles or they will be released months to years after the console version. Yes, in order to sell your console to the more general audience you need to have exclusives, I get that. It just sucks when developers who started in the windows world, and excelled thanks to us, completely give us the cold shoulder. A list of these companies off hand?

Lionshead studios… releasing fable 2. I still play black and white (which never made it to a console) and its an amazing game.

Rockstar games… Grand theft auto started on the pc, and people are still playing it on the pc. VICE CITY and SAN ANDREAS had mods to make the game multiplayer long before Rockstar even wanted multiplayer in their game… funny huh?

Bungie… They promised us HALO then got bought out by Microsoft to “never be released” for the pc. Eventually they did..

Hell, if Microsoft was smart they would co-release their stuff and promote shitty vista (I use vista and love it for being shiny).

If Valve (steam) leaves us for consoles next year I will officially burn their building down. Yes Valve, its a threat, I love you that much.

I refuse to buy a console to play my favorite games. I so badly want to play them, but fuck it, I have a pc because it offers me superior resolutions, voice and other interaction, that only a console could wish for. I will wait for the games to make it to pc and if they dont, I wont play them. Mods always make up for the wait. Counter-strike anyone?
