primary pc gamers, what multiplats do you own on a console and why?

I dont have any multiplats on my PS3, but i think im gonna buy the PoP trilogy (HD) because i cant stand the pc controls and the camera make me rage everytime.

How about you?

None of them, unless they're severely broken with game-breaking bugs which is rare these days. I will avoid one that is incredibly buggy but I won't settle for the console version either. Sucks for me hehe.

I don't own a console.

I own the Mass Effect games on my xbox because to begin with I didn't have a pc capable of playing ME1, now I just stick to the xbox because it works out cheaper buying all that dlc for ms points (which I can buy on offer) than through Bioware who take the piss. Any other multiplats I own on the 360 probably date back to before I built this pc.

I only play exclusives on consoles.

Silent Hill HD remakes, along with the Metal Gear HD remakes, are half the reason we plan on getting a ps3, (that and bluray, and Uncharted, God of War, Gran Tourismo etc, etc.) Parasite Eve trilogy remake on the ps3 is a dream of mine lol.

Not to mention it just got a price drop.

We also plan on getting a WiiU, lots of nintendo exclusives I won't bother listing, but one Multiplat I am seriously thinking of getting it on the WiiU would be Batman Arkham City. If it utilizes the tablet controller to a fun extent, and looks better than the ps3/360 versions, (or run better, or both).

If it doesn't meet those requirements I might just get it on PC, which by that time, I might find it on one of these great sales we have all the time now.

Another would be Aliens Colonial Marines, for the same reasons as listed for Batman!

I own Dead Space and Mass Effect on Xbox since both came out there first. I later bought both on PC but the xbox versions are still very good. Its also always nice to play dead space in the dark on a 52" screen, much more chilling than playing on my PC.

I can't think of any multiplatforms that I play on my 360, only exclusives. They usually run worse on console, and I've had a 360 controller on my PC since they came out, so keyboard support is nice but not 100% necessary anyway (I even use my controller a bit in GTA4, since I can't buy ammo without it unless I change my keyboard jump button).

Exclusive usually, but no always, run perfectly on the system. If they don't, I don't really bother with them.

I used to play a lot of multiplatforms because my 3800+ CPU was a little crappy. But my current computer is just much more powerful than my 360, even with an older 9800 GT card.

i think im gonna buy the PoP trilogy (HD) because i cant stand the pc controls and the camera make me rage everytime.

just use a controller for those games... dont have to buy em on PS3... you can jsut use xbox360, ps2, ps3 or many other controllers on.

Thats one good thing abotu PC gamign is you have hundreds of options to pick from for controls, weither its K+M, or one of the many controllers you can use on PC.

Street Fighter is the only one. It's easier to play with friends in the living room.

BFBC2 on PS3 is the only one, other than the ones that aren't on PC like RDR and LA Noire. I got it on ps3 because me and my brother were playing together and he didn't have a good pc.

I have a PS3 and I play BC2, Portal 2, and New Vegas on it. I mainly have those on PS3 because up until very recently I had an old beater computer. From now on most of my gaming will be done through PC. I will continue to show my PS3 some love, don't get me wrong, I still think it's an excellent console. I'm a big fan of the dualshock controllers even though the mouse/kb combo is far more effective.

Gears of War 1 on X360 and PC because the PC version came out much later but is greatly improved and adds extra exclusive chapters to the campaign as well as exclusive game modes, I think it's the greatest example of PC fan service I've seen, not sure if it has been replicated.

BFBC1 on X360 and PS3. X360 for friends, PS3 version looks better and easier pub stomping(especially back then when PS3 players didn't even know how to reduce their visible hitbox) and no PC since it was a console exclusive.

BFBC2 on PC and X360, on X360 maps are better balanced so competetive play and spawns are somehow better on consoles.

CoD 4 on PC and X360. Friends play on X360 and the CoD 4 PC players are so skilled that it's hard to pub stomp when I'm in the mood for fun.

CoD MW 2 on PC and X360. A lot of RL friends playing MW2 on X360.

CoD Black Ops on PC and X360. Pretty much all my RL friends still play it on X360, although pub stomping isn't so easy as it was with older titles, although it might be because I prefer to rush.

Halo CE and Halo 2, both games came out on PC much later and mods spiced the games up a bit.

Orange Box on PC and X360, I was curious what Valve's games would be like on consoles, and of course I know to avoid all PS3 games that aren't exclusive to PS3.

Man Hunt 2 on X360 and PC since the PC version came out much later.

Condemned: Criminal Origins on X360 and PC, again a game that came out on PC much later.

LA Noire on PS3 since the PS3 is the lead platform and the PC version still isn't out yet...

Portal 2 on PC, PS3, and X360, only got the console versions for split screen co-op and to check out the cross-platform play.

Left4dead 2 on PC and X360 since it's a fun co-op game and good for split screen.

Fallout 3 on PC and X360 and I got the X360 version much later, it was a bad idea but I got the game cheap.

Bioshock 1 on PC and X360 since it's designed specifically for consoles from the ground up.

Bioshock 2 on PC and X360, same reason as above but also for multiplayer on X360.

Mass Effect 1 on X360 and PC since it came out on X360 first.

Mass Effect 2 on X360 and PC since X360 is the lead platform but after patches PC version is superior.

I might be missing a few but I think that's most of them. Pretty much any game that is good for split screen coop, I'll have on consoles.

Only Mass Effect and Oblivion on Xbox 360. In 2007 I had saved up $500 either for a new console or PC. I wanted to play Oblivion on max settings. I didn't trust myself enough to build a computer, so I would have to pay full price retail. I also wanted a new monitor and gaming mouse. When I looked at all the cost for my ideal desktop setup, it was going to be around $1000. I went with the Xbox, and I bought Oblivon and Mass Effect to go with it.

However, I didn't take into account my TV. I only had a small 20 inch standard TV. Most games seemed to have really tiny text that I had a hard time reading. I thought the text size would be the same as my Gamecube games. I didn't realize that to convert the HD to SD, they had to reduce the picture size to get it all to fit on the screen. And on top of that I had a small TV so it was even worse. I just thought they would eventually release patches so you could change text size. Some games did but most didn't.

After a few years I decided to go back to PC and bought both of those games during Steam sales. I still have the Xbox but it mostly collects dust. Occasionally, I get one of the XBLA games, but rarely get retail games for it. The last retail game I got for it was Banjo Kazooi Nuts and Bolts.

Oh yeah, and From Dust is worth mentioning because on PC, the digital version collects dust :lol: Seriously, it's the most shameless port I've seen from Ubisoft, and that's saying something, the worst part is, the game is pretty demanding so it can freeze up the X360 sometimes, but overall the experience is somehow better on X360.

My enitrie Xbox 360 collection consists of

ME1 (didn't think it would make an appearance on PC)

Forza 3 and Mortal Combat and acouple Guitar Heros for when I have mates round

Gears of War 1 and 2

Can't really say it's been money well spent but I'll get Forza 4 and Gears 3 when they're released

CoD Black Ops only because my friends play it and I use it to entertain a kid that I watch every couple of weeks. Another is NBA 2k11 and Bulletstorm becuase of friends as well. That's it really.

Oh, and both the Mass Effect games, but I own those on PC aswell.

Portal 2 because i got it for pc also lol.

sports games because pc sports games are attrocious. ubisoft games b/c their DRM is bad and I don't want to miss out on some of their games. rockstar games b/c the pc ports arent all that great. cod games b/c my friends all have consoles and we play together.

Street fighter on ps3 since it find it kind of pointless to buy a fighting game on pc.

I have left 4 dead, left 4 dead 2, mass effect, mass effect 2, on pc and 360 as well as arkham asylum, dragon age origins, resident evil 5, mw, mw2, dead space, and bio shock on ps3 and pc because I wasn't a pc gamer when those game came out so I re bought them all, but not at the same time ofcoarse lol. The only console games I didn't re buy were street fighter 4 like mentioned before as well as ghost busters and Lego Indiana Jones since I didn't see a point to. Last year I asked for dead rising 2 for christmas on 360 to play with a friend but that was very short lived so I re bought it earlier this year when steam had it on sale. And lastly I bought portal 2 on ps3 since it came with the pc which so far has proven to be a great investment.

None. Basically, I will rent the 'meh' games from Gamefly for my PS3. Then when Steam and other DD sites do their summer and Christmas sales I will buy the games that way. Recent examples would be RE5, Bioshock 2, GTA IV, Dark Sector, Darksiders, Dead Space 1, and Transformers: WfC off the top of my head.

I haven't owned a console since 1995. Been high end PC since.

just get an xbox 360 controller or a ps3 controller USB adapter and your problem is basically solved....i mean nothing wrong with it if you want it on a console but the same experience can be had on the PC

:| Except no you can't.. Looking past exclusives.. There is the community you connect to that your friends maybe using.. Not to mention unlike the PC there is local multiplayer where you can have 1 to 3 other people most itmes sit next to you and play on the same screen..

We also have a Wii, DS Lite PSP 1000, PS2, PS3. But all my multiplats are on the PC.

Why the other platforms? It's beause there games we like on those platforms.

none, I have gamepads for pc.

Uhh... from this generation. None. I just have Wii exclusives on the Wii. Everything else on the PC.ferret-gamer

Mass Effect series because I got the first Mass Effect before I had a good computer, and wanted to carry over my character.

Fallout 3 because I got it before I had a really good computer.
