Console exclusives that would have been great on PC

[IceForce]

According to a certain someone in this thread, I'm dishonest and a fetishist because I like to game at a table instead of in a living room.

Apparently having a luxury computer desk with height adjustable everything, having an oversized leather executive office chair, and wanting to avoid a noisy living room with other boisterous people and a TV that's already in use, is a completely foreign concept to this person.

If you were to take my statement completely straight you'd still be wrong because you could only be either dishonest or a fetishist, not both. So your statement is wrong on two levels.

Really? Nitpicking at my and/or operator is the best you can do?

Come on dude, be the bigger man and just admit that you were wrong, and that you embarrassed yourself in front of everyone in this thread.

The 3ds Kid Icarus game, it was a great game, but really annoying to play with the control scheme. WSAD and a mouse would have made it fantastically playable, even just having dual analog sticks would have really helped.

I'm not saying they have to take the emulator route, just that it isn't as difficult as you're making it out to be. why would they go through the trouble of making a 3ds game and THEN porting that to pc? why use that as an example of being MORE probable?

going to have massive time consumption..right..because teams that remake/port games are SO HUGE to begin with, amirite?

Because going back to port a 14 year old game is likely too much bother for them. Can it be done? Yes. Will they bother to do it considering what will be necessary? Near zero. I am not alone in that and its the common view so why you keep trying to hammer me for it is beyond me.

The reason I mentioned a 3DS version is because if they went "lets do a remake for 9 like with 3/4"... than a new version would be made that would be much newer and a lot less hassle to port.
They ain't going to make a remake just to port it to PC of course not, but it'd make one a lot more likely.

keep backpeddling then, I can keep saying "if you don't like hamburger, you have some odd fetish or are some weird spiritual animal" and tell the vegetarians and vegans it's not my fault if they don't take it "straight", because that's perfectly okay in your book.

you're claiming you're not deflecting, then continue to go off topic about my original points...

by all means, buy a recorder and talk to yourself and whoever for days about brain damage, it won't change the fact you are running in circles in this conversation to drag me into something that I didn't say.

And if I answer that it'll be a deflection right... yeah if that is all you're going to do I'll not give you the benefit of the doubt again. I've explained myself that I did not literally mean that people have sex with desks, but that won't stop you.

I knew you'd say that but didn't want to add yet another paragraph. You force me to address another posters posts, than when I do you play the "not my posts, deflection". If I don't address it than you play "well well look who is addressing what is uncomfortable".

Than stop bringing him up than simple.

you pretty much initiated a "warrior call" with your original post, and since this is getting more and more hilarious, I'll continue to "warrior".

That was not a wrestling reference. The Warriors film was what I referenced.
Secondly a "warrior call" in the context you're using it (wrestling/Ultimate Warrior) makes no sense as not only would you be saying I'm morally superior (as I'd be the Ultimate Warrior), but my supposed "warrior call" was to attract little warriors to cheer me on/support me. Yet you are clearly trying to get across that I was calling people to boo me... but in the wrestling context you're using it that doesn't work.

Look I can appreciate someone applying wrestling to a conversation like that but... you're doing it wrong. Warrior calling the little warriors is positive, not negative as the support from all the little warriors heals him of all the damage done by the dastardly heel even if the damage done was five consecutive Macho elbow drops (one of which would put down a normal man).
I can only wish I was blessed with such powers to overcome odds with, heck even John "overcome the odds" Cena wishes his ability to overcome the odds was as good as that.

Really? Nitpicking at my and/or operator is the best you can do?

Come on dude, be the bigger man and just admit that you were wrong, and that you embarrassed yourself in front of everyone in this thread.

I've answered what you said previously many times by way of others posts that said exactly the same. I responded to you on that as you were unique on getting it wrong on two levels.

If what you understood was that I said you have sex with your desk. Than I'm sorry that was not my intention, if you look through the posts above you'll see that I have repeatably explained the matter but I totally understand.

The only thing I ever thought would play best on PC were RTS games, and even then that's only because I was introduced to them on PC.

I dunno. I've rarely come across a console rts that wasn't horribly clunky. (pikmin, maybe? technically?)

I suppose the systems with a cursor equivalent can do them reasonably well. (ds family if handhelds, wii, wii u, possibly one if the psp models)

The control sheme issues with the genre did at times make me wonder why no-one has made a wii rts.
At the time it would've been one of the few consoles that could've had decent controls for one...

(they can largely work on tablets, but that's straying outside the realms of 'consoles' a bit too much)

to this day that is my favorite sandbox style game, I'm not sure why I liked it so much while I find stuff like GTA, RDR, SR3 and SR4 the most boring slogs on the planet, but hot damn did I play that thing to completion. Giving it second thoughts though, I'd definitely love some user made content and bosses, not to mention the race tracks that I'm sure users would come up with lol.

(I do enjoy just cause 2 and sleeping dogs too, just not as much as crackdown)

I have sorely wished for a sandbox/superpower game that combined the best of, say, Crackdown and Prototype with the creation toolsets of something like Garry's Mod. Give the players a massive sandbox to play in, give them the tools to do what they want, and give their characters superpowers by default.

I'd especially like to see such a game with a mode wherein one or so players are the super-powered characters and a collective of other players assume the role of random pedestrians charged with the task of hunting down and destroying the players with the powers. Likely with their own sets of specialized tools, weapons, and traps. (and ingenuity)

Sort of like a reverse cat-and-mouse game. Only the cats can jump 200 feet in the air and can lift city buses over their heads...

ah wow that sounds awesome, kinda reminds me of the left 4 dead versus mode, I'd love to plan with other civvies to take down an agent (a.k.a. a hulk)

If Halo was on PC the competitive scene, and therefore the most fun and into games I've ever been would never have happened.

Hell the only console exclusive I'd have preferred on PC is Halo Wars actually. Perhaps Demons Souls too just so I could still play it.

To you maybe, all I see is the PC master race being the definition of "can dish it but not take it" and it's comedy gold.

Kind of.

I was envisioning a gameplay style that's....well, here's a sample scenario using Crackdown as the template:

You and a friend are playing the role of the "normals". The civilians trying to take down an Agent. You're both decked out in a variety of gear and weapons specifically designed to harm the Agent.

Once set loose onto the streets, you both plan out and set up a scenario wherein a crime, car accident, or similar incident occurs. This will serve as 'bait' for the Agent. As your plans are set in motion, the two of you take up positions at certain vantage points as you wait for an Agent to come along.

The Agent player, being required to respond to incidents of crime, would have to come investigate. (or suffer Agency wrath) Depending on the situation, they'd be required to complete certain objectives to resolve the situation within a time limit.

Now, to keep the Agent player from just killing all civilians in the area they'd be severely penalized, or even "taken out", by an Agency response team. This would make the Agent player have to be VERY specific about which civilians they attack.

So there you are, on a rooftop, with your friend in a upper-story window in a building across the street, as you watch the "accident" below, waiting for the Agent to arrive.

When he does, you signal your friend and take aim at the Agent with your rifle. You both need to take your shots simultaneously or the Agent won't be critically wounded.

Unfortunately, your friend fires prematurely and alerts the Agent to his whereabouts. You try to fire a shot to finish off the Agent but only graze him.

You are then forced to watch, from your rooftop vantage point, as the Agent jumps up the side of the building, climbs in the window your friend was perched in, grabs your friend by the throat, and hurls him out the window onto the street below.

Just imagine the adrenaline rush from then having to run and find a place to hide as you see the Agent climbing back out of the window and preparing to jump to your building.

I don't know. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I think that kind of game mode would be tense and addictive as hell. Regardless of which side you play on.

Apparently having a luxury computer desk with height adjustable everything, having an oversized leather executive office chair, and wanting to avoid a noisy living room with other boisterous people and a TV that's already in use, is a completely foreign concept to this person.

What about playing in your bedroom?

Why not the bathroom?

A lot of people like to relax in the bathroom...

I get you have an ax to grind with me and all that which that is in relation to, but come now. It was perfectly innocent response.

 

[NPC009]

I have a handheld system and play wherever the hell I please. Handheld master race FTW!

 

[Kathinka]

I'd much rather see more dedicated PC games made. I'm into a bit deeper and more complex games, so what I'd want are Games that didn't have to have mechanics simplified and scope reduced so they could also be released on consoles.

However, I very much would like to see the uncharted series done with all the perks of the strong PC hardware, perhaps some fun modding. That series seemed like great fun.

Because people don't put their TVs in their bathrooms?

 

[Vigormortis]

With a PC or gaming system in there, what more reason does one need to put a TV or monitor in there as well?

 

[FPLOON]

Wait... If every console exclusive went exclusively to the PC, wouldn't that make it the ultimate exclusive in the long run? /sarcasm?

OT: Huh... I honestly don't know... Then again, it would be pretty boss playing the Time Crisis series on my cousin's custom PC...

Other than that, I got nothing... Most of the games that would be "more suited" for PC I probably didn't play to begin with... or I already had the OG console it came out on beforehand...

I'm not sure which "in there" is what in this sentence.
Lots of people have a TV and a console in their bedrooms is what I'm saying. Or they just don't live with their parent anymore, so "the living room" isn't the worst place to chill out.

Okay, this somehow went in an unnecessarily serious direction.

My first post quoting you was a joke. A bad joke, admittedly, but a joke nonetheless. It was a non-serious, "Hey, why not the bathroom too? *wink* *wink*" kind of thing. I was tangentially alluding to something else another poster had brought up prior in the thread.

I'll be sure to add the appropriate 'winking' emotes next time.

And for clarity's sake: by "in there" I was referring to the bathroom.[footnote]And yes, I know people who have TVs in their bathrooms.[/footnote]

Dragon's Dogma I think it's the only console game I've bought in ten years, if you don't count portables (and who does).
