Ja when I found out your a female I asked you out on a date? (just a warning we might have some cross platform problems)
Heh, I don't think my man would like that.

Oy, some of us "console kids" want games with strong story lines, complex gameplay, and characters with depth too, you know.

finally a sane man in this thread. i agree totally with you, they all kiss the pc ass when all those great games were out. Console kiddies just a bunch of backstabbing carebears

The thing is, you go on about us (being pc gamers) whining the whole time, so when you mention it again, it's natural for me to assume you're being serious. Now go back into your little console hole, and let us discuss why PCs are always going to be better than consoles (can you tell if I'm joking here?)
I would think flashy, run and gun games ARE under the PCs strengths =). Mouse/Keyboard = lightning fast precision aiming and having access to the cutting edge hardware allows you to push the graphics to almost CGI quality. Crysis in many respects maxed out actually surpasses CGI quality, though you would still be hard pressed to max the game out.
I DO get the point you were trying to make though

I own both a console and a PC, for me i enjoy both. There are some games that i just pref to play on PC and then there are some that i enjoy more on the console.

Consoles are for s****d ppl
This Ladies and Gentlemen is what is knows at Flaming. User A posts something and poster B, disagreeing with User A but not having anything to say, retaliates with a persona l attack. This is a prime example of how not to post. And dropping in little comments like
Does little to validate ur point, it actually has the oppisate effect. Everyone thinks ur a moron.Consoles are for s****d ppl
And for those of you who are curious what started this entire flamewar...
Out of that entire post, a post that could quiet easily have been mistaken for the post of a PC Gamer, that one word started this.

Ah but there you are making the same mistake as the developers
. Those games are not the strong point of PCs anymore. Generally those gamers have moved over to consoles( relax I said generally ). The casual gaming( casual as in put the game in, it loads and you're on your way killing masses of alien creatures with your high powered atomic blaster... space marines to the rescue blah, blah....) is now the domain of consoles. IMO if you wanna sell PC games you gotta focus on the small dedicated fan basis( stratergy, sim, adventure etc). Games that are not going to appeal to the masses who would just buy the game on console if it did. Look at Operation Flashpoint 2 for example. A sequel to a PC game with reasonably large and devout following. They went and dumbed it down so they could sell it cross platform. In the end you got a game that was a confused hybrid that impressed nobody. Certainly not on PC. Instead they should have focused everything on PC and the strengths of it's predecessor instead of wasting their efforts on dumbing it down for consoles. They would have released another PC classic.
Back in the glory days of PC gaming most gamers got a game and didn't touch it for an hour or two. Instead they were studying a thick manual to figure out how to play the damn game. Then another hour to get it to run properly. It was worth it then because the games were so damn good. Put the effort in and you were richly rewarded.
IMO game companies should spend less time and money on their 25 year old graphics programmers and more on experienced writers to develop characters and stories. Nowadays they devout probably just a day or two to that side of things. A half arsed effort to tie the game together before it's back to designing the coolest space marine weaponary to take on the bastard child of Satan and some weird alien species from the moons of Saturn *yawn*
