Stick with PES.
Why oh why are pc gamers shafted all ****ing time. My friends are always telling me that consoles have better graphics, that an FPS is better with a controller, that consoles are more powerful.
How can I prove them wrong when people like EA are bending pc gamers over and raping them?

EA are the publisher. Dice are making the decisions on BF3.

...Dice are EA
My point is they are a separate part. They are owned, but may not share all of the same opinions.
...Dice are EA
Yup, same as Bioware are EA.

Don't worry about proving them wrong. Consoles have their place for plug and play social gaming, a bunch of buddies sitting down in the lounge playing footballer before hitting the pub.
PC gamers are shafted all the time because developers know that hardly any PC gamers are actually going to buy their product, they'll probably pirate it instead.

But I thought console gaming was holding back PC gaming...

I assume all games are developed on PC for consoles? Surely the engine is available for the PC already as they have been developing on it. Why don't they use it for the PC version?

You don't understand why some games are pirated more than others?
Just look at Rockstar, no longer producing PC games citing, quite correctly, piracy. It's really not a massive stretch to suggest that profit from PC games such as FIFA is less than the console equivalent. Anyone that's not thick knows that you direct efforts to segments attracting higher profits.

He doesn't understand why the console and PC versions of fifa 12 are different.

Fifa is a console game. Why would pc gamers care so much about a half assed port?
Not all PC games, simpleton.
i think its a combination of things really.
The high percentage of pirated PC games is just one. I think other factors that we need to look at are the lack of any real decent gaming spec PCs in the highstreet retail shops owned by DSG group that we can't mention.
Anybody going into one of those and asking for a "good gaming PC" is going to met by so much mis-information, and poor choice it would be a miracle if they came out with a decent rig.
The days of being able to find a highstreet shop that sold decent gaming rigs has gone with most now having gone under.
You can of course pick up a copy of computer shopper, or pc pro etc.. and find one in the reviews and purchase one of those. But Mr and Mrs average won't be doing that. They will be wary of spending over £1k on a company called "chillblast" that they've never heard of and only seen mentioned in a magazine and would much prefer to pop down to a highstreet store and get mis sold some cheap crap instead ...
yes there are plenty of you building gaming PCs, and buying gaming rigs, but they arent in the sort of numbers that they once were, and not anywhere near as many as the consoles who now sell to every household with with a child over 5, and plenty more young adults without kids who use them for themselves !
