Dontcha just hate when you see a cool game...

This is why I think CryEngine3 will take off. You simply develop for CE3, and what you make "mixes down" to PC, xbox360, and PS3 with a few mouse clicks. No more porting, etc. It's a super quick development engine, AND you can market across 3 major platforms without spending additional cash to have the game ported and tested for each platform. Of course, you'll need to test, somewhat, but not like you would if you were porting.

That may work for the content and coding but for the actual gameplay\interface traditional\hardcore\whatever users will still be disappointed.

Its the elimination\consolidation of skills, hand holding gameplay, big button lower res joystick friendly UI, etc part of consolized\mainstreamed games that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Just because you are coding for 1 engine doesn’t mean you will take the time to code to the strengths of each platform, if anything now you will even see less of that (if it ever truly existed).

eh.. some people would rather not waste money buying a console system just to get a title or two.

You can get a Wii or X360 for about the same price as a new HDD on your computer. They are really affordable.

X360 and/or PS3s also work great as a media center too, and they do a lot for the money. I PC game as a majority, but some games are a lot of fun just sitting back on your couch with friends and doing vs. at your PC.

Sometimes I get that feeling - it's usually gone when I see the PC games like WoW, EVE, Civ IV, Witcher

Not to mention that I can Alt-Tab into free pr0n

There is just SO much wrong with this ^^^, that I do not know where to start.

P.S. Some of use were PC gaming from our couch back in the early 1980s, probably before you were even born.

No. Wrong. Fallout 3 won many GOTY awards for many reasons, none of which was the mod community. Sure you can cheat your way through a game and it will be easier, but that's not appreciating the game. It baffles me that PC gamers call console games "dumbed down" when all PC gamers seem to want to do is mod a game so it plays easier.

I don't think you understand the the meaning of "mod" when it come to PC games. It not to hack the game to cheat it, on the racing side it to add 140 custom cars to Flatout 2. And add custom tracks and derby pits.

No. The only game I ever wanted on PC that wasnt available is Skate (I never bitched about it either, the game requires a controller that only few PC gamers have. Would be risky for EA to release it on PC). So I bought sexbox for a washington and flashed it, ddled image and play it now. Could care less about failive! or other console immitation nonsense.
