    PC-Only means they're not coming out for consoles.

    CS:GO will be on consoles, not sure of the others.

    It'll be PC exclusive like TF2 is PC exclusive.. give it 5 months after release and they will be completely different games.

    why does it matter if games are pc only, even if they're on consoles too they'll be better on pc

    weird question

    Some games can really suffer in being multi-format. Like everything being designed around the xbox controller making for somewhat retarded UIs on PC. And that some console ports need to be tweaked to bits to get working properly. (alpha protocol)

    ARMA 3, rFactor 2. Real men games. Makes COD and GT5 look like something you roll out on the floor for a 2 year old to play with.

    Did they ever release that patch to make ARMA fun?

    You can shot a guy in the head with a sniper riffle, hop into a tank and blow up his house then fly away in a helicopter destroying his village as you go. How is that not fun? They did release a zombie campaign plus you can always make your own missions in the mission editor.

    i am a big PC gamer, but even i cant justify ARMA to be a great game. Its a simulator for very small and limited group of people. I am not bashing it, but it is a think that is not for everyone. I honestly tried flashpoint/arma games since they were released, but it was more of a benchmark program for me, then a "game".
    My friends love ARMA and they can play for hours custom maps together and feck around in map editors, but jesus its too damn real for my liking.
    then i guess, i newer had a PC, which would be able to run ARMA 2 on respectable frame rate :D. Always wanted to try zombie mod. My current rig, should be able to run it now!

    Demon Souls didn't come out on PC though did it ?...
    One of only 2-3 games that I'd want a PS3 for.

    PS3 only, can't remember but there was something weird with the deal between sony and from so the game wasn't allowed to other systems. It was the most under rated game, it was one of the few that owed its success to word of mouth on forums. It didn't get the backing it deserved.

    Probably because Sony published and, as a result, funded its development. Nevermind the additional technical support they would have given them for using the PhyreEngine. :)

    I'm gone mad into sims, I'm sick to death of the monotony of gaming these days, there as bad as Hollywood films for being all style and no substance. I just can't play COD any more it just annoys me now I want something more involved, like a 4 hour attempt at an ARMA mission heart in throat the whole time as your always one bullet away from death.

    I don't play ARMA that much myself, it does suck up time I'm playing a go kart sim at the moment. I get much more enjoyment out of racing a kart around the same track than I did from most of Dirt 3.

    Really... they aren't. If COD is your benchmark for what gaming is like today then your clearly doing it wrong, especially if your a PC gamer ! :)

    Personally.. i'd rather just go karting or paintballing/airsofting than play a sim !

    They're pro karts you wouldn't be able to just jump into one of them at the local go kart track.

    Flight has just been released - never been a good console Flight Sim

    Total War Series - Never been a game like it released on Console. I'd struggle to name a good console RTS. Can't think of any Turn based.

    Sim City is coming - okay been on console but didnt exactly work.

    MMORPGs - decent ones only on PC

    PC Exclusives still have their place imo.
