the attitude that "consoles are made for kids and morons" is what gives PC gamers a bad name. consoles have been as integral to the evolution of gaming as the PC if not moreso. Consoles are not for kids, or for simpletons. They're for people who prefer a certain type of gaming.

The real problem here is the dollar signs in the gaming companys' eyes. Console gaming is profitable, and as a result, advancements only possible on a PC are held back.

Don't blame consoles. Blame your beloved PC developers for seeing where the money is and moving in that direction.


sad this is they are made for kids! compare: number of kids games for PC vs number of game on Consoles


Theres more Kids games on PC. Hope this helps.

The truth is though PC Gamers were already very very pissed off with the quality of console ports. The promises Crytek made about Crysis 2 actually delayed the PC Gamer rage because they thought Crytek would deliver the proper PC Game they were waiting for in DX11. As it turns out that never came and since that was the only thing delaying the **** hitting the fan thats the reason why the **** has now hit the fan.

Crytek didn't make this happen they simply failed to prevent it.

The ones who thought they were getting DirectX 11 after being told 3+ weeks prior that they would not are the dumbest of the crowd. Sorry.

I'm not aware of the sales figures of "kid's games" for PC vs. Console, so I can't do that comparison.

Again, consoles are not made for "kids." They're made for console gamers.

Okay maybe it's what gives PC Gamers a bad name with console gamers, and we should care because?

My personal opinion is that consoles are fine until they're 2-3 years old then they are a bit weak, but at 5-6 years old they are just like an anchor weighing down games development.

It is spreading through the PC gaming community because PC gamers in general are no longer "true gamers" but have become elitist hardware douche bags. They think they're above console gamers because they spend obscene amounts of money on their hardware. It's not about the games anymore. Minecraft has reminded us what gaming is about. When you play that game, you don't care that it has no DX11 or that it doesn't crush your "rig" because it's just plain fun.....

Gratz, you completely missed the OP point. Enjoying your console much? lol

No, it gives PC gamers a bad name with anyone who is half-way informed of the issue. What does "consoles are fine until they're 2-3 years old then they are just junk" mean, by the way? Are you saying that after you've owned a console for 2-3 years it becomes junk? Can you elaborate on that?

Oh I get it. Owning a console immediately excludes you from that Elitist PC Circlejerk group you got going. Great. Good thing I too own a couple consoles. I'll enjoy having FUN on my PC.

Sup guys. hardcoe PC GAMER HERE. On my ass munching cheetos and downing mountain dew all day. Allow me to get the cheeto dust off my keyboard and explain why you are all inferior to me because you have fun playing games on a big tv on the couch from time to time.

so you are just stupid enough to see past this "elitist hardware douche bags"

sit down now for a second and stfu pls.

ever since consoles came... games has gotten easier, more idiot friendly, more noob friendly who doesnt know where to press in order to fire.


thanx to consoles you have crysis 2 gfx which is **** compared to what it should be....


basically crysis 2 was achievable when ps3 and xbox360 came.. its the same hardware.. 10 years ago it was possible to run crysis 2.

if you ask me.. crysis 2 looks as good as any other game on console... but the sad part is that on console you are playing 25 fps.. which is pure and awesome ****.

ofcourse you dont need better because of your tv-s and controllers anyway.. but for GREAT gaming experience you need at least 50+ fps

[Steve Smith]

I'm a PC gamer to the max, but I own a PS3 for exclusives like God of War and Uncharted.

Now, what was that I heard about "kid's games?"

You know. Console games have been around since the 70s right? That completely negates your entire point.

Also I like how you magically came to the idea that Xbox is the reason the game has bugs ???? Also how does it feel to be wrong when 30FPS is actually the sweet spot for online shooting.

Pure, utter stupidity. How old are you, 15? Do you know how long Consoles have been around? Tell me, what sort of mind-bending PC games were you playing when Super Mario hit the market?

I'm a PC gamer and I think your argument is ass, so good job there, buddy.

lol , it's kinda true . I let my 4 years old nephew play killzone 3 online , and he manage to keep a 1:1 k/d , and he finished the game SP ( with a little help since he don't understand english )

I beat TMNT on NES when I was 4 as well. CONSOLES ARE DUMBING DOWN EVERYTHING *rolleyes*

[CHANONE]

console games are fine but they are limited when you compare them to the pc. crysis 2 has become console limited, everyone can see that no need to deny it. its not a bad game, but it could be much2 better. like crysis 1 awesome-sauce better. like better frame rates + crysis 1 + better physics and AI plus destructible environment. that is so mind blowing!

but no. if it smells like a console, tastes like a console, it is console! pc game disguise FAIL

[Rebekah Rebekah Nicole]

I think some of you should make a distinction about consoles of this gen to the one in the 80s, is not the same view of the old times now.

[Racheal Robertson]

Yeah, but games on consoles, like the NES for example, were very difficult games. Even if some of these casual gamers sat down for the rest of their lives, they probably still wouldn't be able to complete Contra, let alone a game like Battletoads. These days it seems that finishing a game is for free and a given, just like watching a movie.

I remember when Contra 4 came out on the DS a few years back. Big outcry of "BAAAW" from todays noobs. No one complained about Contra 3, all those years back, and that's a more difficult game than Contra 4.

[liz barnes]

or instead of making the game challanging they make it annoying - best example: CoD WaW Veteran difficulty - mega nade spam fest - not challanging just annoying

[Solina971]

The sad truth...


This is so sad and funny in same time, so i dont know if i should CRY or LAUGH at this, but almost same thing happened with level design of Crysis.

Yeah, Corridor shooter never was that corridor as they are today.

I think we should call them tunnel shooter, because all levels just tunnels with decoration around.

**** this new age! I would go better play old, but still good Quake 1 and 2, like 100 times, than would spent another days with Crysis 2, COD or other **** like this. Entire game industry degrading like ****. Freaking devolution of game industry drives me mad! Last yeah when i saw most advanced game was 2007.

Remember this game, they used to call it Crysis. Rest In Peace Crysis and game industry. Amen.

Wellcome to era of 50% of full games for 60$ + 5x10% of games for 50$ more bucks, no mods, no custom maps, no gfx, no dedicated servers, no server browsers, no AI, no challenge.

**** yeah that "awesome", i predict that in 2015 year every game will start with popup "Push any button to let game play itself".

Every of my favorite advanced games was **** up, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Crysis, Deus Ex...

[YO MAma]

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

They bought "pet rocks" by the millions in the 70's and they seems to like very bad music and movies too. Games have now gotten big enough that they're selling them to the masses of sheep now instead of to gamers. You just have to get a bigger advertising budget than a development one now to make sure your game sells.

[Marie]

IMO at this rate when the 720 and the PS4 finally do arrive these dev's are not gonna have a clue what to do with them. It's bad for everybody dev's don't use PC tech because when the new consoles come out dev's will be pumping out the same 360 and PS3 trash for quite a while unless they cut their teeth on PC and nobody is doing that.

I'm not talking about old consoles u dumbf.. I'm talking about ps3 and xbox360... sherlock..

do you honestly have any brain at all? maybe I was talking about pocket devices?

Not?

@ Acerimmer1

exactly.... as we see today crysis 2 graphics was actually achievable when x360 hit the market.



but If consoles get proper controls (keyb and mouse) and dedicated servers as mandatory.. then I might think switching over because I'm MP gamer and couldnt care less about dx11
