trying to set aside the console wars AND the PC v. Console debate at the SAME TIME for a civilized discussion would be nuclear suicide, so please, not this thread. I want to give this the best chance possible of not becoming a flame war.
Uhh, nope.avi
You can't arbitrarily exclude such an important platform like PC and not have that ITSELF be considered inflammatory! You provoke a flame thread and make it worse as if the issue is so insignificant you can just be "oh I just don't want it".
I don't see why anyone shouldn't post PC related games till YOU give a good reason why to exclude them!
I'll start off by listing all the games the PC-haters are no doubt butthurt over not getting (if they'd ever poke their head out of the walled garden of console-ville):
-Crysis
-Crysis Warhead
-Killing Floor
-Arma 1 & 2
-STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
-STALKER: Clear Sky
-STALKER: Call of Prypriat
-Red Orchestra
-Battlefield 2142
-Necrovision
-The Void
-Plain Sight
-VVVVVV
-Penumbra Overture
-Penumbra Black Plague
-Penumbra Requiem
-Cryostasis
-Amnesia Dark Descent
-X3 Reunion
-X3 Terran Conflict
-Dawn of War (incl. Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, Soulstorm)
-Dawn of War II (incl. Chaos Rising, Retribution)
-Starcraft II
-Civilisation V
-Company of Heroes
-The Witcher
-Savage 2
-Trackmania Nations Forever
-Alien Swarm
-TAG Power of Paint
As for games I really want on PC... not many even in the past 5 years:
-Red Dead Redemption: because the game controls SUCK as they are at the moment, and auto-aim is a poor substitute.
-Alan Wake: because the developers actually co-developed in on PC, but Microsoft in their "commitment to PC gaming" has indefinitely suspended the PC version ever being released. They made a PC version, the devs admitted they have a version on disk but Microsoft refuses to publish it.
-BF: Bad Company: because the sequel was on PC, makes sense. Also on console it really struggles on the mid-2000's vintage console hardware, it needs 1080p/60fps, full AA and proper mouse aim.
Most others do well enough on consoles, not much point in a PC release.
