- mentallyinhell, on 05/15/2008, -8/+202Funny, I can think of a lot of console games I'd rather see ported to PC.
- estvir, on 05/15/2008, -26/+2115. D2 without a mouse? No thank you.
4. How would it be any different? I get to use a controller? No thank you.
3. This may be okay but B&W2 was such a let down.
2. The Witcher would suck if I had to play it with a controller.
1. How would it be any different? I get to use a controller? No thank you. Far Cry 2 is coming out anyway, you can get your pretty, tropical island fix there.
Horrible, horrible list. - mobilehavoc, on 05/15/2008, -8/+71Ported = garbage.
- lokee73, on 05/15/2008, -3/+54And watch perfectly decent games get wattered down for the console market?
Yeah, that brings to mind the immortal words of Sean Connery: "Suck it Trebek!" - DanteDefiance, on 05/15/2008, -2/+42Metroid Prime series would be right at home on the PC.
- frieddonuts, on 05/15/2008, -6/+44Having a game on as many platforms as possible is always a good thing. I'm a Sony fanboy, but I was happy that GTA4 wasn't a PS3 exclusive. Can't we all just get along (looking at you, so-called PC master race)?
- Nobiting, on 05/15/2008, -5/+41Or play the PC version *face palm*
- saxreturns, on 05/15/2008, -1/+37If they release the next GTA for PC at the same time as the console versions, then we'll talk.
- N3k74r, on 05/15/2008, -0/+33Mirror:
http://www.duggmirror.com/pc_games/Top_5_PC_Games_ ... - CarzorStelatis, on 05/15/2008, -8/+35Although Diablo 2 with no mouse might not seem like an inviting prospect, you could use the same 'trigger + facebutton = spell' control scheme as Marvel Ultimate Alliance and it would work fine. Even double up and use both triggers, that gives you up to eight spells on hotkeys (should that be hotbuttons?), which is only slightly less than the PC version could do with F-keys.
As for Crysis, don't make me laugh. As a game it is mediocre - people only use it as a benchmarking suite. Since all consoles have the same hardware, there's no greater need to port Crysis to them than there is to port 3dMark. - RyVal, on 05/15/2008, -0/+23UNREAL TOURNAMENT 1999 - DON'T CHANGE A THING. that is all.
- aznhomig, on 05/15/2008, -1/+24GTA IV for PC, thanks.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -1/+23You paid $5k for an ugly computer case.
- Borgcube636, on 05/15/2008, -3/+22If people want to play games on PC, which are better anyways since they're more complex, high-tech, and require the player to actually think, then for Xenu's sake, play it on the PC!! Consoles shouldn't be getting so much attention.
- Kerath, on 05/15/2008, -2/+20You just described like 25 games.
- whatthefu, on 05/15/2008, -22/+40Crysis wasn't even a good game at all.
- dsmx, on 05/15/2008, -0/+15Or try and figure out how in the middle of the african savana you go to a tropical island in far cry 2.
- Punkazz189, on 05/15/2008, -3/+18Farcry 2 takes place in Africa. Not on an island.
- psg188, on 05/15/2008, -2/+16Crysis looked pretty, but biggest FPS achievement since Half Life 2? I think not.
- zerobackup, on 05/15/2008, -0/+14People who buy Alienware want to play computer games, but they have no idea how to build their own systems. e.g. people who have a lot of money and have no idea what to spend it on.
- revanrules, on 05/15/2008, -0/+14Star Wars: The Force Unleashed would be nice
- estvir, on 05/15/2008, -9/+23> Cant say the same about the Xbox 360!
.. because you're a delusional, biased fanboy. I'm so sorry. - harrypl0tter, on 05/15/2008, -3/+16HAHA you paid 5k for a ***** computer? HAHA...sounds like your a the dumbass...
- puttly, on 05/15/2008, -0/+13Plug it in, buy a ***** wireless keyboard and mouse. Problem Solved.
- LaughingMan11, on 05/15/2008, -1/+14Some games are just not well suited for the console.
Real time strategy games, by and large, are total ***** when they try to be ported to consoles. Command & Conquer has tried their best, but serious players understand that there's a level of control and keymapping that simply CANNOT happen when you replace a full keyboard and a full freedom and accuracy of a mouse control with two thumbsticks.
Also, games like WoW is so button and UI dependent that it can't be done on a console.
The PS3 release of UT3 made it very clear. Even on the same console, a player using a keyboard and mouse is simply more accurate than with two analog sticks even in FPS games. - TRScheel, on 05/15/2008, -0/+13So... plug your computer into your big screen tv?
- jp12380, on 05/15/2008, -2/+14Read the front page of digg sometime. They made a new comment system. Yeah there should be more contrast.
- thelastcivilian, on 05/15/2008, -2/+12Seriously, the gaming industry just needs to get its act together and develop some standards for PC gaming - make the development process easier. Set like 'bronze' for the casual PC user, 'silver' for better machines, 'gold' for gaming rigs. I know that things change all the time, so just indicate "Bronze 2008" or something.
Even companies like EA are completely ignoring PC gamers, which is sad. NCAA Football for the PC? I can only hope... - piesforyou, on 05/15/2008, -0/+10Well, technically, it's just a bloody big island really isn't it.
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -0/+10I agree it needs more contrast it's killing my eyes.
- BugMeNot2, on 05/15/2008, -0/+10Who the ***** buys Alienwares?
- Pulch, on 05/15/2008, -1/+11I remember when GTA was a PC original that had to be ported to console.. I miss those days.
- Enron, on 05/15/2008, -0/+9I still want a console port of Commander Keen.
- SSCrow, on 05/15/2008, -2/+11Huh my 800 dollar computer gets about 30 fps as well.
And that game is awesome, stop being such a little troll. - kahakauai, on 05/15/2008, -0/+9bro - mellow out on the roids eh?
- citizenchan, on 05/15/2008, -0/+9True. So, maybe he shoulda said, "Dugg for mentioning Games."
- puttly, on 05/15/2008, -0/+9what a waste of $3000
- Lunarbunny, on 05/15/2008, -1/+9Is it just me or does this article read like it was written by a 6th grader? Plus the only games I could imagine on that list being played without keyboard or mouse are STALKER or Crysis, and it would still be clumsy (I have yet to truly enjoy console FPS with a standard gamepad). Anyway I think Crysis was just a tech demo.
- moocow1452, on 05/15/2008, -2/+9No Audiosurf for Wii?
- Sifl, on 05/15/2008, -0/+7Need the reverse. Top 5 console games that need to be ported to PC. Crackdown should be top of the list IMO.
- fadetoone, on 05/15/2008, -1/+7Last I heard, Crysis is coming to PS3... couldn't tell you if that was or still is a rumor though. (I'd look it up, but frankly I don't care for the game)
- inactive, on 05/15/2008, -2/+8There is a tiny gray little line
- frsrblch, on 05/15/2008, -1/+7Good job with the gross exaggeration there, haylel. My computer is more than a year old, and it still runs everything perfectly fine, and all the components were mid-range, not high end. I doubt I'll need to upgrade anything in the next year and a half at least, and that would just be to keep all the pretty options on. The only people who upgrade that frequently are idiots, and people who can't stand there being something better that they don't have. Note that these groups overlap quite a bit.
And by the time you buy an HDTV to play said console on, you really aren't saving all that much. - OrangeSoda31, on 05/16/2008, -1/+7People want that game?
- Lane, on 05/15/2008, -5/+11its like a small list of the only pc exclusives left in the world....
- thtroyer, on 05/15/2008, -1/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation
- robodan, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Well said, sir.
But at least it's porting PC games to a console, not the god awful other way around. - accessviolation, on 05/15/2008, -6/+12It's the other way around. Consoles don't support kb/mouse, which is a must for shooter fanatics.
- darlyn, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Seriously? The control scheme on most PC exclusives would be impossible on consoles ... and I never got used to aiming with a darn joystick.
