PlayStation 3 vs Gaming PC

[thetechfreak]

as if consoles are suffering from some game drought .
consoles will have generally more games for the simple reason that they are more in number(and more people buy consoles and console games)
unlike our country where people want everything in one box

Does Consoles have games like Limbo?

Well our fight is turning into name the game which is available in one platform not other

Anyways I feel these days that consoles can price games a bit higher than PC. Why? Well initial investment to get a console is lot lesser than PC. A good gaming PC costs 50k(we have said it many times now) whereas consoles mostly cost half that and now even lesser. Enough budget for 10 games. Although the current pricing should fall IMO.

1.consoles dont have games like limbo they have limbo and other indies(in fact limbo was released on XBL arcade for the 360,then ported to pc and ps3)any hit indie these days get ported to the "big TWO"
2.agreed
3.yeah current console game prices are obscene,though pc games abroad are same as consoles(here distributors give us subsidies for the simple reason that.....................india is the "P" capital of the world.you can see examples on TDF.lotsa "game experts" get thier pc copies from torrent sites)

PC games are cheaper because the production of the game discs for PC has been set up in India itself. Reason why we see such cool prices for PC games.

Consolers have been asking for a disc minting factory for the PS3 and/ xbox too to bring the prices down but we are yet to see it happen.

Since all console games are imported (we get the UK/EU version, we don't have a specific region, atleast for PS3) the games are priced high. It is also seen in PC games which are not produced locally, I may vaguely quote Skyrim etc as such.

Err...limbo came out first in a console and last again in another console.

Xbox > PC > PS3

accuracy questionable but so I heard. It was an xbox exclusive for really long. Super meat boy still is and will never make it to PC or PS3.

Super meat boy had been available for PC for god knows how long.

 

[Sarath]

Damn so its only PS3 that won't get it. Sucks!

 

[gameranand]

Super meat boy is available for PC and I have played it on my PC.

yup,seemingly MS/MS indie devs believe that the 360 and win PC are brothers so one indie is ported to another platform
sadly with PS MS has a different relationship...............

 

[gameranand]

Porting a xbox game to pc or vice versa is easier than ps3 to any or vice versa. Also ps3 is competetion so....

Microsoft Recommendes All Indies To USE XNA Framework to develop games for XBOX Live Indie Store and since XNA is seamlessly integrated into Windows Environment Too, its easy for Indies to Hop from Xbox bandwagon to Windows.

Now a lot of people don't buy games, which in itself is why there is a huge support for PC gaming in many. It is a personal moral choice though.

Most PC Gamers don't spend on their SOFTWARES, GAMES and EVEN OS! Hence they remain PC Gamers...and also another reason why QUALITY SINGLE PLAYER games are declining!

yet, they blame consoles....

Quality single player games, you mean those kiddie games where you are spoon fed with the scripted sequences?

Mass Effect 3 is Kiddie Game.Hmm.....

 

[cyborg47]

Mass Effect 3 is Kiddie Game.Hmm.....

In reference to games like Dragon Age Origins, Witcher 2, etc.

And yeah, ME3 is definitely a kiddie game dont believe me? ask someone who played the first one too.

You are definitely a right man in wrong place then!!!

Should have played ME1 first
ME 2 and 3 are definitely kiddie games compared to 1.

A little too foolish for you to decide that?

oops! wait till the end. You ll stop giving a damn of the whole series.

Lol.
I know about the ending thing.
I bet i wont be disappointed.
I dont get too attached to Game to be blown off by jerky story.
I judge games by Tech-n-Technique rather than story-emo-drama

your way. good for you

But Im kinda surprised to see somebody praising Tech-n-Technique of a story-centric game like Mass effect.

Actually if you are not looking for it, you won't find much difference between PC and PS3.

Some games though seem so at a single glance but many look no different. And some AAA titles are not even available cross platform.

back in 2008/09 yes. Right now? hell no!!

LOL.
As i said i never get attached to Story or melodrama.Thats Kids Choice
Praising a RPG is not what i am ever gonna do
If i am not satisfied with the Gameplay of a game then i dont a give a f about it whether its story or the visuals.

 

[tkin]

Well when it comes to accuracy PC wins hands down with the mouse(not counting XIM3), there was once a cross platform game, called Shadowrun in which normal pc gamers r@ped best X360 players, same analogy for PS3, the consoles need support for mouse and keyboard, official support.

ohhh and your definition of "mature" games are games like BF3,counterstrike,teamfortress 2?

Spoiler

those games are called Run-n-gun games mostly played by impatient kids
for kiddies only gameplay and the "fun" factor is important.
for a real buying mature gamer EVERYTHINGis important Be it story,gameplay or graphics

Most PC Gamers don't spend on their SOFTWARES, GAMES and EVEN OS! Hence they remain PC Gamers...

yet, they blame consoles....

this. is a fact.In India the majority of PC gamers(mostly pesky "student" types) never spend on anything(then there are "suckers" like me who actually buy games) thats why
they love PC's
reasons like

PC graphics are awesome

KB+mouse is more accurate

are other reasons
while getting everything free is the main reason and for people who do buy some games its because they get it cheap(specialist beggar rates Read : "subsidies" for us indians)
