Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Playing Facebook Apps does not qualify you as a PC gamer... SORRY! But that's just -blam!- stupid.

To qualify as a PC gamer, your PC needs to at least have a video card that costed you around 100$ or more just by itself.

To qualify as a PC gamer, you will have had to browse the tweakguide website at least once to help you optimize a graphically intense 3D game.

To consider yourself a PC gamer because you played Farmville?

WTF ARE YOU SMOKING!?!?

My mother played farmville once. SHE IS NOT A PC GAMER!

What of all the people that play the wii for wii sports does that make them a gamer if not you just lost around 40 million console players.

To qualify as a gamer in general you need to play games. Nothing more nothing less. Doesnt matter what hardware you are using, if your playing a game and you play games semi-often you are a gamer.

Pathetic, your ignorance is so clear its not even funny.
What makes you qualified to determine what a gamer is?
Because if i had to take a guess it would be nothing.

I like how you switch from PC gamer to a more generic gamer term.

Either go back to arguing with me about what qualifies as a PC gamer or shut the -blam!- up. Because we were not talking about Gamers... we we're talking about PC GAMERS!

You try to say PC gamers outnumber Console players. That's not true. The amount of people who take consoles as seriously as those who takes PC that seriously..... The console outnumbers it by a long shot.

Why do you think Halo doesn't bother with PC anymore? Because there's a bigger market on the console..... DUHR!!!

That's why you no longer see PC and their server browsers being the Kings of FPS's. Because the market moved to consoles, because it cheaper for the masses to afford.

A pc gamer is someone who plays games on pc,mac,ect..
The price of their card doesnt matter if it gets the job done.
Just because someone doesnt spend alot of money on their computer doesnt mean that they wont use that computer to play pc games.

No, because halo is owned by microsoft. They want more of their consoles to sell and one way of getting your console to sell more is by having a very popular game only being on that one console.

To qualify as a PC gamer, you must have played at least some of these.

Civilization
Half Life
Doom
Wolfenstein
Duke Nukem
Crysis
Master of Orion
Star Control 2
Eye of the Beholder
Neverwinter Nights.
etc.
etc.

You get the picture. Playing Minesweeper does not qualify.
Neither does Solitaire.

Yet again no. A pc gamer is just someone who plays games semi-often and they play those games on a pc,mac,ect...

Halo is no longer popular enough to justify keeping it exclusive to the XBox.

To think that keeping Halo exclusive somehow makes any kind of significant impact right now as of today....nah. People have plenty of other reason to be buying replacement 360's.

So....

NOPE!

It's because they don't give a -blam!- about the small number of players in the PC market anymore. Consoles is where the money at, because more people can afford the console. Means... no point in going through the trouble to port it to PC for at most 40k players.

Yet again there are more pc gamers then console so your argument is completely invalid.

Im pretty sure halo is still in the top 10 most played games on xbox live so i dont get why you say it so unpopular.

Granted reach was a let down but it is still played by a large community.

You're telling me there's more people playing CoD on the PC than people playing CoD on the Consoles?

That's what I thought. GTFO.

That holds true for every other game that has both a console and PC version. THE CONSOLE HAS THE LARGER POPULATION!

When Shadowrun hit. It was multiplatfrom. PC players could play with Xbox Players. Guess who made up most of the population. It wasn't the PC players.

No, what i told you was in total there are more people who play pc games then who play console.

Lol, you think counter strike global offensive sold more on console then it did pc lol

Ok, so by your reckoning everyone who owns a PC is technically a PC gamer.

No.

No. No
AND MORE NO!

Ther are not more people who play COD on PC than what there is on the Consoles.

To see how -blam!- stupid your logic is..

Just take ANY GAME, that is both on console and PC... and tell me... WHICH ONE HAS THE LARGER BASE OF PLAYERS?

THE CONSOLE!

Counter Strike is a stupid game. Probably one of the most generic over played games ever. So I don't care about how it sold.

Counter Strike may be the only exception to this and that only because Counter Strike has almost consistently remained a PC GAME. They made a lame attempt to bring it to the Original X-Box back in the day, but all the casuals at the time soon realized that having an entire game designed around a 1 life to live gametype played in rounds... is stupid and boring, and something only elitest PC hardcore gamers like.

No yet again you are an idiot, I said if you play games on a pc and play them semi often you are a pc gamer

If you own a pc and you dont play games on it you are not a pc gamer.

If you own a console but only use it for netflix you are not a console gamer.

I just gave you an example Counter Strike Global Offensive it sold more on pc then console.

Counter Strike is and always will be the epitome of An Elitest Douchbag Heaven. Of course it's going to sell better on the PC because that game is nothing but stupid asses showing off who has the better wall hacks.

People on Console don't get enjoyment out of games like Counterstrike. Counterstrike is ... I guess you could say... too competitive for most console players. That is why it sells better on PC.

Really, given the choice. On 360... would you rather buy Counterstrike or CoD? CoD has gametypes that don't all revolve around 1 life to live, have fun spectating.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you asked me to name a game that is multiplatform and that has sold more on pc then it did on console.

Dont complain because I disproved your point.

I didn't ask you to name anything.... I was telling you.

So...what?

You really want to know why Counter Strike sells more on PC...

Because of the Mouse/Keyboard vs Controller debate.

People who play Counterstrike are HARDCORE. They are the type who getting insulted if you mention playing PC games with a controller.

This is what you said. I proved it wrong. Then your excuse was that counter strike is a terrible game. Are you 12?

And the mouse and keyboard vs controller debate is not relevant, you said that when there is a game that is on both pc and console the console will have the larger population which is not true. Which is proven by the fact that Counter Strike Global Offensive a multiplatorm game sold more and has a larger population on pc then its console counterpart.

Counter Strike is a terrible console game. It's not conclusive to what console games are pushing. It's too intense and competitive for most console players.

Yeah.. big deal, Counter Strike is your one and only example? You'll have to try harder. Try using one of the bigger titles.. Like Call of Duty.

Because we ALREADY KNOW, that Counter Strike has largly remained a cult following for PC GAMERS...Counter Strike never took off for consoles. For reasons I already described.

In every case, there are exceptions. Don't let this one exception go to your head and think that I'm going to give you a free ticket to disregard the fact that PC gamers are the minority.

Why bring call of duty into this? It is a terrible game regardless of its population on both pc and console.

Battlefield 3 has a larger population on pc then console there is a big title for you.
