I play on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. For me, the PC doesn't have any exclusive games anymore. There's a a few shining examples from half a decade ago but many of these has a sequel that is designed for consoles.. I still like gaming on my PC but deep down i know those days have gone.

I play PC and PS3 games as I dont own an xbox but there are still PC exclusives constantly coming out. Have a look at the link below for 10 pretty good examples:

http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Feature/244808,the-top-10-pc-exclusive-games-of-2011.aspx
 
I play at 2560x1600 and can run most games at max with all the AA and AF you can have with no real performance issues. Crysis and BFBC2 being the exceptions.

If needs be I'll get another 580GTX :)
 
It all boils down to what games you play to be honest. If you take strategy and simulation games into account for example, you will find that the pc has more exclusives of those than all the console exclusives put together!!

You can't just say the pc has no exclusives. The pc has no exclusives that YOU like. :)
 
I have a 5850 and I play Crysis maxed out at 1080p without any probems...
In fact I play everything maxed out.
Granted I don't have anything else that's very impressive. The new patch for DX11 Shogun 2 at maximum settings runs smooth as anything on around 40fps witih full AA - I think it looks fantastic!

In regards to the topic - the Total War series is my all time favourite series of games, and they're PC exclusive :)

Fun fact: I game at a four times higher resolution than that on consoles (1440p vs 720p). Also apply Supersampling or Adaptative AA depending on the game. Also get Texture Filtering and all the glory of Dx11. The difference is often like that between PSX and PS3.

Also got a mouse and a keyboard, my two hands' extensions to maintain a God-like form in any games that aren't played better with a joystick/wheel/gamepad. There's only a bunch of games that look good on consoles and none of them aren't beaten on PC.

Problem, console gamers?


Now to be serious on the subject, many games are not PC exclusives even though most of the well-known series started on PCs and now are catching up on consoles. That doesn't prevent them from being better on PCs.

Second thing to bear in mind, modding communities. This can likely change the entire experience from a

Third thing, indie games. It's easy to distribute games on PC platform.

Forth thing - customisation. You can do anything you want with your PC, it can look how you want it to, it can play how you want it to and it can be what you want it to.

Fifth thing - games prices - these can be really low compared to

Sixth thing - patches and development. Many of the PC titles don't stop evolving after release which can't be said about console games. It's not only about bug fixes after all.

Expansion packs are also something that is pretty much exclusive to PC games. It's not DLCs that add a few maps and skins but often large overhauls of the game.

PC exclusives? Plenty of RTS games, TTS, simulators, tycoons, other kinds of strategies, cRPGs, MMORPGs, browser based games, probably a dozen of genres none of us heard about, many mixes and cross-overs that would never work on consoles, emulators, old-school relicts, etc. The list is never-ending, almost. There are some pretty good FPS exclusives over time but most make their way to consoles anyway.

PC gaming is usually much more "hardcore", console gaming - casual. It's not a bad thing, I would call it a preference. I've got consoles and never even touch them any more. They're not worth my time TBF.

Play TF2 if you like, get some of the well-known strategies, play an MMO or two, find what's hot in indie development, get a game that you can easily mod and see how you like it.

PC gaming is an entirely different experience at times.

First problem: That wasn't really fun at all reading through all of that as most of it was pointless. I know half of that stuff and don't care about the rest.

Second Problem: Completely irrelevant to OP.

'Pretending'? How old are you? Shallow? Are you for real? :l
Your ability to read is terrible, either that or your sulking terribly.
Quit trolling dude, I came here to ask about games, somebody mentioned mods so I asked them which ones they liked. Sheeesh.


I'm here to find games that I'd find interesting on PC. Not whine about consoles or which is better or any of that fanboy stuff.

Sure a few helpful members offered useful advice (buy games on a delay for cheaper, try mods, PC games have longer support, try Crysis, try arma 2, try witcher, try bf 3 etc etc)

If there is anything pointless you want to say then please refrain from doing so. If you want to be helpful and point me in the right direction. Then feel free.

tried google to find games interesting on pc? or the sticky at the top of the pc games section?. Honestly I have all the formats and dont seem to have the same trouble as you finding out about 1 formats game. Its not like pc gaming is a big secret and needs several pages. this thread was pointless as soon as you said you were happy with your console gaming even, almost going as far to saying it doesnt have games as good as uncharted etc. Also the helpful tips you got were hardly rocket science (buy games on a delay so thery are cheaper? oh yeah the longer they are out on console the more expensive they get! :rolleyes:) longer support? yeah maybe from the community but hardly from devs these days (not including valve they are awesome) mods? judging by the games you like fat chance of that. bf3? yeah that would hopfully show you the gap that has developed between consoles and pc. PSN HURRY UP AND TAKE HIM AWAY...........



ps

the sticky at the top even breaks it into sections for you, simples ;)

It wasn't fun writing that either. I'm on a mobile connection and had to resort to typing it on a small screen whilst doing other stuff. I've just realised a few sentences are cut in half but whatever, if you want, I can evaluate on any of the points mentioned.

Just to add another genre to that list, adventure games. An almost dead market now that still gets a good title or two each year.

You were asking for PC exclusives and I gave you a dozen of genres where you can find plenty of those. That you're not interested in any of them is irrelevant, better word the title to something like "Any decent First Person Shooters exclusive to PC?".

Tell us which games you would be interested in besides the obvious cross-platform FPS games or arcade games.

Are you interested in any strategies, tycoons, simulators, adventure, indie, FPS/cRPG, cRPG/strategies, over cross-overs?

Do you need these games to look fabulous or have a great gameplay?

Are you after a few hours long title or something that you can play for months?

Do you mind playing games older than a year?


Stop being a dick, please. Don't come up with questions and be ignorant on your high horse to anyone who tries to give you a more or less helpful advise.

Yup, I tried google, nothing interesting though, just old stuff.
Yes I tried the sticky also, was mostly old or multi-platform, I was looking for exclusives which would still be appealing to me.

Now it's more of a case about what games which are multi-platform (read: good) and people plan to get.

As for finding for finding games for one format - seeing as its PC there is an endless ocean of junk (and fanboys).

Games get more expensive on console after they are released?:confused:
Turns out console games get cheaper after awhile just like PC games. Shocker.:eek:

So your saying that after devs release games on PC they don't bother supporting them? so that other poster was wrong? (or misunderstood?)
Either way, moan at him, not me. I'm not a PC gamer so I don't know all the details and he suggested it.

How does being a console gamer (at the moment) affect wether I'm interested in mods?
(I have been keeping my eyes on modding for quite some time and for a short while I tried a few smaller mods on ps3 (YES I'M AWARE IT WON'T BE AS MAGICAL AS PC M0DZ)

Yes, bf3. Once again. This isn't a debate on PC vs Console, I'm not even sure how you come to that conclusion. I already stated before I want to try PC gaming and that its better in terms of hardware.

Even if PSN comes on, I won't be going. God knows why you think that.


I was hoping to hear something useful, but just seems like mostly ignorant/ stupid comments or fanboy-ism

At the start I was looking for a variety of genres, but few are my type so I guess your right about FPS (but I don't want to be limited). Yes I looked at what you posted and checked most of them. But I don't stop looking when I find something or notify everyone.

Some adventure games I'm interested in, I'm also a big fan on polished lifelike graphics.
Mainly interested in FPS (3rd person is more of a console for me)
I'm into zombie games or good FPS' with some sort of coop survival / MP.
Also fan of RPGS or similar types such as TES series or Fallout. From console its Demons souls.
Big fan of sandbox games (especially gta 4( with the mods I have seen, it does look better)) also, online = even better.

I'm a big fan of graphics, although I'm not fussed if its a compromise.
Time to complete: Any. As long as its enjoyable. (Such as portal 2 being short but TES/ FO being lengthy)

I'd prefer to play new games over old ones. If old they have to be something special like Crysis, CSS, Portal etc.
