Games with a better PC version.

[spartan1077]

TF2 and MoH open beta but that's all I can think of. Most are the same either way

As everybody else has said, I'm discovering that TF2 on PC is MILES better than on consoles. Everything about it is improved, everything.

I guess Wii games would be better on the Wii for obvious reasons. Other than that though pretty much every game is better on the PC. With the PC you have patches, updates, and mods. You can't even whine about controls because you can just use gamepads. I've yet to play a 360 to PC port that didn't support the 360 controller. You can sometimes play games with better graphics than are on the console version too.

I can too whine about controls. Most games don't allow full on mapping of a gamepad. My axes get reversed. x.o I had to wait 2 years for a driver update that allowed me to map them there.

/whine take that!

We're talking about console games that had been ported to PC not allowing full on mapping of a game pad right ? And if it was the drivers for your gamepad that's not really the games fault.

Yep, consoles games ported to PC. And it was the games fault, The drivers for my gamepad fixed the games problems.

FPS's and Rpg games are often better on PC, but not always. I doubt I would have loved Fallout 3 as much if I'd been playing it on my PC. (Which is why I am getting New Vegas on PS3 too)

But racing and fighting games, they are the console's territory.

I doubt you would say that if you played it on the PC

I'd say most FPSs, RTSs and sims.

 

[internetzealot1]

RTS's

 

[crobulator]

IMO pretty much everything

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Orange Box... Mirror's Edge... Deus Ex... Borderlands... Half-Life... pretty much every game I've played on PC and compared to the console version...

Actually, I liked Deus Ex more on console, the only game I'v ever liked more on a console.

 

[lukemdizzle]

most games that are out on both consoles and PC are better on PC. especially RPGs. the only exemption I can think of off the top of my head is halo. all the halo games play better on console

 

[Summerstorm]

Well... EVERY games which has a PC-Version is better. Well all except bad conversions. They keep on crashing, have rigid bad key-mapping and such.

But everything else have: More variables, modding, scalable graphics, fan-patches etc.

 

[Sewer Rat]

Pretty much every First Person shooter and RPG. The only things consoles typically do better on imo are sandbox and party games.

 

[Freedomario]

Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead (2) TF2 gets updated and L4D Gets Free DLC.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

Any FPS or tactics game (I.E. Red Alert, Command and Conquer, well, i suppose RTS games...)

 

[Worgen]

Im gonna say most games are best on pc since the mouse is better then a joystick for most things but for some that just do better on pc, well most of them have already been listed

The implementation is crap. Q is an awful place for it by default, and there isn't really anything better that could be done with it. F might work, but there's nothing as straightforward as the shoulder buttons. It's very obvious that the control scheme was designed with the DualShock in mind.

Ahem, mouse thumb button? That's what I did. It worked fine.

OT: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and The Witcher are unplayable on consoles, literally.

Have to disagree with Mirror's Edge, quick turn is rather necessary and having it mapped to the shoulder buttons lets you do moves that are otherwise insanely hard with keyboard and mouse

Quick turn exists in the PC version too.

I'd say 'crap' is far too strong a term. I can't remember if I re'mapped it, but I played Mirror's Edge on both console and PC, and found both to be good. Prefer PC generally, but Mirror's Edge was an exceptionally good port.

Any Source game.
