“Have you played Gta4 on PC? Or Bioshock?!
Why yes, both of those are the superior versions, GTA 4 because it was modded into an attractive game and Bioshock because it allowed for quick-slots and an actually playable pipe-mania rip-off. Fucking horrible console FoV though that was pretty lazy. Neither of those are all that more or less buggy than the console counterparts.
I need more.

You just keep on fighting, a dipshit. Clearly you ‘re having fun and have much better things to do than to devote your internet (and likely a large part of real one) existence to them.
Clearly.

Breaking news, first impressions on PC version of Gta4:

From being unable to start the game to missing textures to seemingly arbitrary limits on graphics settings, the situation appears to be nothing short of a disaster.

Actually on the contrary. I was able to feed my son clean the kitchen get ready for work and type all this out. Time management is an awesome thing. You on the other hand lead a different impression. Constant streams of insults on multiple articles. Same inane attempts at trying to verbally castrate your peers. Same desperate outcry towards the most redundant things.

With regards to the power of the PS3, it is much more powerful than the Xbox, an example of this being the incredible graphics on PS3 exclusives. A multi-plat can only have as much power behind it as the weakest platform.
BUT in the early stages of the PS3 it was a bitch to develop on, hence some of the poor ports. This isn’t a problem anymore as developers know how to get the most out of it.

Do you know what’s ‘inane’? It’s when you go on about close combat in Halo without having played the game. Like I said, amazing how i’m the one enlightening you on what was supposed to be your native tongue.
No you are. My son is better than yours, my kitchen is cleaner and my dog os better too. I’m not angry by the way. You silly piece of Microsoft shit.
Don’t you worry, sony will soon become redundant and the flames will disappear.

The great thing of owning multiple consoles, besides exclusives which are the main soul for owning an X console, is that you can decide were the best multiplatform game is, i got darksiders, GTA 4 for ps3 because of that, and bayoneta and read dead redemption on the 360, and like this all the previous mentioned games on this thread, because i wanted to play the best possible experience of a said game (insert any name), and i think most gamers are this way too, of course those who can afford it.
Having said that i think earlier this gen the difference in multiplatforms was palpable, the 360 did have the advantage while the ps3 did suffer a little bit due their new tech and different architecture, now things are more equal, altough some of the AAA multiplatforms games are still having some problems in the ps3 side of things, but now they are the exception rather than the rule, i try to keep a balance between consoles, one game for my 360 and one game for my ps3, to give all the consoles an equal amount of games, something that is not easy, becuase like i said, till this moment there is some problems with some AAA multiplatforms games, for example i have strangehold and battlefield on the ps3 and wet and COD on the 360.
Also i do think microsoft made a wise decision when they did built the 360 with a common PC architecture, which enable easy to do ports without too much effort, time, money and resources speaking, while some developers due the different ps3 architecture, did had to go with giving the work of porting those multiplaform games, to another team entirely to handle the job, which speaks of the hard process due to time, money and effort constrains, i think is nice to have a new tech under the hood, and maybe the best tech, but its also good consider to make it affordable in the development process, and i think next sony home console will sort this out, because it was one of the reasons why it didnt had the many games like they did in the previous gen with the ps2, which was a very capable machine but it was easier to develop for, which incide in various factors as well in the development cycle, an becuase of this it was a mantra for games to flouirsh, and this is being quite the opposite case with the ps3 this gen.
p.s oh and i forgot to mention with the topic at hand, i have the complete Assasins creed collection on my ps3, since i got the first one on the ps3, and i want to have the complete collection under the same console, i think i got it on the ps3, because i thought it was the main console in the development process at that moment.
edit : I edit it to improve/polish the language, sorry, and probably i will do a multi edit while iam at it, but the sentiment will remain the same

*yawn funny how subjective you are yet again. Funny thing was after I walked away from that Halo thread just like I will this one after this. People came out saying the same things I said about how Halo is played only difference is instead of them saying they are annoyed by it like I was. They said they still loved it, The wonderful thing about opinion are their like Da Mans… Whoops I meant Ass holes everybody has one

@57 Nice post Manu, you’ve summed things up quite well. That’s how it should be really. I have a 360 and PS3 and split the multi-plats across each platform, normally based on DLC etc.

What, s-u-b-j-e-c-t-i-v-e?
Yes of course you walked away after you saw you couldn’t really feed anyone with these deliberately convoluted.. no, pseudo convoluted gibberish.
Sorry, I was doing it wrong. My dog isn’t castrated, he’s just different. My kitchen isn’t twice as big as yours, it’s just another point of view.

Oh wait so GTA 4 was released as a sub-par mess because of the platform it was on and not at all because Rockstar is a bad developer?
NewFlash it ran like shit on the consoles aswell. Actually it still runs like shit and looks like shit, neither of which now apply to the PC version.
Someone send this to Kotaku.
EDIt: Although in my experience I did encounter bugs in both GTA 4 and Bioshock, but that was through Games for Windows Live and not the games themselves. Figures.

Find me a sentence where I insisted it was because of the platform (capabilities).
You PC nerds get shit ports. Sad reality.
Of course it didn’t run half as bad on consoles. I can find more google results about the pC version therefore I’m right.

The thing with shit ports on the PC is that alot of them can be fixed, by either the developer or the fanbase ala Dark Souls. Sadly thats not really possible on the console boxes.
So you get a horrible frame-rate dropping ugly close draw distance juddering mess of a GTA with smeary mandatory vaseline vision and I get this instead :
http://youtu.be/omUEpgtclNg
Was that worth waiting the time for Rockstar to get its act togethor in order to fix the PC version? I think so.
“Have you played Gta4 on PC?”
I’d say theres a pretty heavy implication there that the reason for the games being buggy was because it was on the PC rather than it just being a lazy port.
Defensive console nerds, jeez.

Got you, enjoy waiting for other fellow nerds to fix the shitty ports a few years later.
Tell me more about the implications and being defensive.

The thing with the ENB mods is that theres loads and loads of options that change minute details meaning that everything can be more or less customised to exactly how you want it.
Enjoy lower quality everything with your fellow nerds. Nerd. Nerdy nerd nerd.
Who the fuck am I kidding anyway I own everything anyway.

Only thing worse than modders are overly enthusiastic players who count the pixels.
This is why Gta went from a good videogame to crime Sims. Hairy nerds ruined it.

The only thing they did is make it run better and look better, nothing inside it is changed. Modders also added multiplayer into San Andreas.
ok ok ok Let me get this straight modders ruined a series that was originally a PC game?
Dem neckbeards man thats some talent, especially when the downward trends of the series began when the series went over completely onto being console driven titles.
Modders then. Worse than Hitler.

I was saying unwashed customers did it, with their passion for pixels. The pixel counting attitude made it’s way to consoles.
Gta3 didn’t have any downward trends, it was about as good as the first two.
