Oh, fuck here we go again...
Care to point out where those threads you speak off are at? It just seems like you are pulling that shit out of your ass to justify your console gaming habits without being labeled as a consolefag in here, as if we needed or cared about your justifications.
Jesus man, just go and have a look at all the threads with people discussing console games - there in GG of course, because that's where they get moved to regardless of what type of game they are.
I don't have to justify anything to you - I don't have console gaming habbits because 90-95% of my gaming is done on PC.
I, for one, am never playing games on consoles given the PC alternative. The interaction with the game using a gamepad is way too limited and clunky. Given a game with a console and PC versions, the PC version has the largest potential to feature the better controls and interface, when developers give a fuck about making the PC interface. Bioware is notably one of the few that actually try (and succeed) at making proper PC interfaces for their console ports, the same can't be said about Bethesda.
Good for you, but that's not the argument here. We're not talking about games available on both PC and console - of course anyone in their right mind is going to choose the PC alternative.
I have to disagree about the gamepad though - some games, mostly of the third-person variety and/or anything for which having analog controls makes sense - work better with a gamepad even on PC.
But the problem with games being developed mainly for consoles and then ported is that they are extremely limited compared to games that are made with the PCs in mind from the start. When you make a game for a console, it's limited by what one can accomplish with the tools the console gives you (which are much, much more limited than PC's). This is what pisses people off in here, not that a game exists on consoles, but that they're greatly limited by them when we know that the same game crafted for PCs could offer more.
FOR THE LAST TIME - I FUCKING AGREE WITH YOU (and Grunker) ON THIS! The only games I play on console are the ones I can't play any other way (i.e. on PC).
What next? Are you gonna call us trolls because we don't share your point of views? You've been hanging out on Bioware Social/Bethforums too long bro.
Why would I do that? We're having a legitimate discussion. If we all agreed on everything it would be a pretty boring place, right?
Look, this all came about because when Jaesun originally put up this thread, there was no "must be available on PC" rule. So when the votes started rolling in - some people were voteing for Dark Souls - it obviously occured to him "OMFG - a console exclusive game could win the coverted codex RPG GoTY award!!!". So he changed the rules AFTER the fucking fact. It's pathetic really.
So instead, all we can vote for is retarded shit like Skyrim and NV DLC's - but hey, that's ok cause they're on zeh PCCCzzz... whereas a legitimately great game like Dark Souls is excluded because it's not.
