[citation][nom]airborne11b[/nom]First of all... THEY MAKE CONTROLLERS FOR PCs. Most of them even mimic the stupid Xbox / PS design. Saying you think something works better on a console because of the controlers proves that you don't have the tech knowledge to be posting anything meaningful here.2nd, the comments about the graphics are legitimate. It's always been blizzard's way (Low-end graphics and simplistic game engines to appeal to more consumers with low-end PCs).It's just becoming more and more apparent now that games from real developers have amazing graphics (Battlefield 3, Crysis 1 and 2, AvP, Dirt 2, Skyrim, etc etc. )World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, and now Diablo 3, all follow the "Make it with simple / dated graphics so bad PCs can get good FPS playing it so we get more $$$"I mean, look at SC2, it's more like starcraft 1.2, a couple new units, and *slightly* better graphics. No new mechanics, nothing original, just a hyped up, reskinned 10 year old game. These are the main reasons why I never buy blizzard games. They bring the PC industry down. They refuse to innovate, and now they're selling out to consoles to sap more money out of people who don't know better.Who cares anyway. Blizzard is old news now. There are tons of MMORPGs, RPGs and strategy games that are more advanced, and much more fun then what blizzard offers. Screw em, I say.[/citation]
you obviously haven't really done any research or forethought into what you are trying to discuss here. before i i get on explaining why let me re-iterate that i play both PC games and console games.now many poeple want to jump and say I'm not a "true" gamer if i play consoles at all , but that is just so much bullshit the definition of a gamer is some one that plays video games .. end of dicussion on that point.
now back to my point on why you don't know what you are talking about, and really just spewing your biased nonsense opinion.
1. how are the makers of battle field , skyrim ect ect , real developers and blizzard and other console developers not ? first off a game developer is some one that produces and developes video games. it doesn't matter rather or not they are developing for an cell phone console or a PC , if they make games they are REAL developers. Also guess what ... jobs in the game industry arn't anchored to stone, more than likely any company you name has employees that have worked both sides of the fence.
2. your "innovative" games that require a 20 core processor, 130 gigs of ram and 10 SLI-ed 1000 dollar video cards, do not sell nearly as well as games that use far less hardware (i'm being sarcastic and exagerative a bit there i know). if those were teh ONLY games made on PC , then the Pc gaming market would be about 20 times smaller than it is now ... so how the reality is the opposite of what you say it is , the high graphic games turn many would be buyers off when they require a small fortune to run, This HURTS the PC market. the lower end graphic games actually drive pc game sells up witch helps the PC gaming market. Case and point : a few years ago a friend's girlfreind got interested in playing one of my pc games (oblivion) , at the time oblivion made every PC under 2000 bucks in price look like slow shit, even putting together a conservative system plan to run it at medium spec , the figure of 1200 bucks made her scoff , in the end she picked up a 400 dollar xbox 360 and got the game on it. Moral of that story .. what you are calling "innovative" ONLY HURTS PC GAME MARKET GROWTH!!!
3. graphical improvements do not equal game innovation. sure better graphics are nice .. but seriously NONE of the games you listed as being "awsome" , none i mean zero of those you listed are innovative. battlefield 3, ES 5 skyrim, Dirt 2... note they have a number in their name that designates them as sequels . IE they play like the game before them , and the one before that , there is NOTHING innovative about that. slapping a new coat of paint on a old car doesn't make it innovative , it still drives the same just looks better. so relaly your "innovation" argument is thrown out because really nothing you listed or any thing that has come out in the last 5 years really innovated on game mechanics and game play the core of what innovation is in the game industry. ok you can say some of those games innovated on graphics , by having dx 11 support ... but not really. few dx 11 games really make deccent innovative use of tessellation right now , most don't use tessellation at all even. Even if the did , Tessellation (aka displacment mapping ) is nothing new or innovative created by the game industry , because it's been in use in 3ds max and CGI movies for more than a decade now. improving graphics is NOT innovation , it's just playing catch up to CGI movie tech.
4. hypocrytical statment
"I mean, look at SC2, it's more like starcraft 1.2, a couple new units, and *slightly* better graphics. No new mechanics, nothing original, just a hyped up, reskinned 10 year old game."
right here the very thing you accuse blizzard of doing EVERY game company that makes a game you listed earlier as "awsome" , is also guilty of this same thing !!!!
i'm not even calling this bad .. i enjoyed ES 3, 4, and 5 equally , but i don't try to kid myself into believeing that they are just so drastically different from one to the next , because they arn't really that different , a few mechanics change the graphics certainlly change, but you know they are all still ES games . same can be said for AvP 2010, battlefeild 3 , dirt 2 and crysis 1 and 2, and 80-90 % of the game market as a whole. Its why and how genre's exsist , because their are similar groups games that generally play and look the same way . you might as well bitch about every game developer and just stop playing video games altogether going by what you are saying here.
next time before posting i suggest you think out what you are saying before hitting the button. have a good day Bro , i'm out.
