Is there actually any big PC only titles besides Diablo 3 coming out soon?

Hard to justify owning a poweful pc when I just dont see anything coming out

Guild Wars 2
Diablo
CS:GO
Dota 2

Probably a bunch more.

I better stay out of this or people will miss understand me .

also have you played the Stalker Series?

even if you play nothing else those games are reason enough to have a decent PC

Each to their own, I couldn't get into it at all. Gave it 3 seperate attempts since release because of all the fanboys on here.

The PC list is endless though, the reason to own a good one. When you consider the 1000's of games released over the years. You rarely have to worry about "backwards compatibility" , and that's before you add in Emulators.

I wouldn't buy a PC for exclusives, just go with whatever system you enjoy using the most.

The bigger games will generally be available on all platforms anyway.

I think ARMA is the only game where you have to go through training to be able to play the game properly. It was a long 4 months I had to do basic training 4 times but I'm a certified solider boy now.

The first Driver game too.

Over all where PCs excel is in simulators. ARMA is a full on war simulator including FPS, tanks and aircraft.

If you like driving there's rFactor, iRacing and the likes of kartracing-pro. These are games real life race car drivers use.

These are games you have to dedicate real time to and apply the same kind of knowledge you'd need to be able to do it in real life.

Why I say PC only is because if its on the consoles, ill get it on the consoles. I would rent the game and finish it that way.

I just cant afford anymore to buy PC games and once finished, I cant do anything with them.At least if its going to be a big game which is PC exclusive, I would be tempted to buy it

Regarding the games that have been mentioned. BF3, Crysis 2, Skyrim, witcher2, stalker all played

Im really only into FPS games so recommending me mmo's isnt really my cup of tea

If you got a good PC and a console, i could not see a reason why to get a console version of the game, unless you got all of the friends on console. You mentioned Renting, but even then PC games prices are really damn low. Jesus, mass effect 3 on pc is 18eu on zavvi. how much does it cost to rent a game for a week?

you like first person shooters. Tribes ascend? its free to play game too, which is pure awesome. there is nothing even close on console to it. gotham city imposters on pc is on sale quite a lot for 7eu. cheap and a lot of fun ( when it works, fecking peer 2 peer console plague ).
then again, such thing like " no need to have a powerfull pc" should be a good sign, not something to be sad about. It means bigger range of systems can run games, so even more people can enjoy those games.

the other thing, that PC only games are made in general to last longer, then just finish and throw away. I am pretty sure that BF3 community on PC is way bigger and stronger then console, starcraft 2 was released 2 years ago and it is overloaded by players, some go laddering, some play friendly matches, other play "income wars", "tower defence",RPGs and all other stupidly fun custom maps. Lets look at TF2? it was released like 5 millions years ago and it is going stronger then ever.
i know all these are multiplayer based games, but what about SP games like stalker? fallout? oblivion? skyrim? they get constantly modified and become a totally new experience with each new mod.
strategy games? jesus, do i even need to say more? civilization games, which are worse the crack mixed redbull. it was released in 2005 and i still play it on my brand new rig. It just awesome game. Total WAR? Starcraft? warhammer 40k?

Now, its not an attack on consoles or whatever, fanboys just fudge of now ( both sides btw ), but PC is a strong platform and it is worth having it. Any multyplatform game will be better on PC, unless developers are going lazy way and give direct port, but even then moders will sort it out. PC exclusives are rarer, but damn they can be good when they come out.

Maybe you need to try something more then FPS? You have ability to play on such amazing platform, why restrict yourself only to fps. damn, even try LoL just for ****s and giggles. its free to play too.


p.s. went small bit off topic there

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.

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.

DARK SOULS is coming out on PC

Uggh i know, i got 3 copies of demons souls(asian, us and european editions) now it looks like i'll have 2 copies of dark souls.

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.

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'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.
