Not the ones that are on consoles.
People say that there exist lot of good FPS games on PC. Which ones are worth buying?
I start
Crisis (But, its recent)
BF2
Stalker (But its AA)

It has nothing to do with exclusives....shooters are generally considered to be better on the PC because of things like much more precise control, and dedicaded servers (which allow for much better multiplayer matches), along with mods of all sorts.cobrax75I played CoD4 on PC and it was laggy as hell at times and my connection is pretty good, and played other weird FPS with a cousin (he downloaded the game from steam) tha game was fun but was lagging at times, explain that to me if all PC games are supposed to have dedicated servers...
Well, considering that pc gamers get the consoles only good FPS shooter (Read: Halo), plus the additional exclusives such as Crysis and the battlefield series, makes the PC the FPS King.

Ok, but console gamers can play those games atleast with 90% of the fun.
Not if you're in a clan.
Then it gets much more tactical, and fragging with guys on vent on weekends is much more fun than on Live or on PSN.

you probably joined a bad server...if the game doesnt have crappy netcode, and has a large enough community to have a lot of servers...you will never get lag.

Well I guess if it happens to you, it must happen to everyone.

Care to explain to me what "90% of the fun" means?

You forgot to put "IMO." For a second it sounded like you were preaching.

how do you ever calculate that?
for a lot of people, having precise controls, and lagless online, as well as higher framerates is very important.

I forgot to add the IMO.
Regarding precise controls: All consolites are on the same boat and they also need some skill to aim with a controller
about lag: it may not hold every time
higher framerate: OK
Nowadays pretty much every big name shooter is multiplat at least eventually. To me it's not about exclusives, the consoles certainly have enough FPS to keep anyone busy. To me it's the KB/M controls combined with mods and better multiplayer that allows more players that makes PC the FPS king. Not to mention the PC versions are pretty much always superior, and no, it's not an opinion, they just are, with better graphics, mods, bigger online and more precise control method that doesn't require autoaim or slower gameplay.
Stalker, NOLF, Crysis, SS, SWAT, Tribes, AvP and BF along with better versions of HL, Farcry and UT series with an added bonus of the best console ports like Riddick and Halo pretty much ensure that PC has the upper hand when it comes to games as well.
Crysis, HL, Dark Forces: Jedi Knight, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Far Cry...twags82
I think it's the modding community behind the games that make them so much better on PC. Not that their aren't great games.
CSS
DoDS
Call of Duty and UO
Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2, 2142
Crysis
STALKER
Quake Wars
Many, many others. Alot of older games.
[QUOTE="twags82"]Crysis, HL, Dark Forces: Jedi Knight, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Far Cry...Pro_wrestler
Was Far Cry on the consoles the same as PC? The first HL came out on consoles too? And I forgot Doom (not 3) actually did come on consoles too, damn. Alright, put STALKER in there. Not sure if we can include Deus Ex and System Shock 2 in there or not.
Crysis
CSS
Genuine Battlefield Series
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (and Clear Skies soon, too)
The ability to aim worth a damn
ET: QW

first HL came out on PS2.
One more point: I somehow was more excited while playing HL1 then I was when playing HL2. HL1 AI looked better at that time.
IMO HL1 is better. Anyone thinks the same?
Not only is the PC the birth place of unique FPS games (Deus Ex, System Shock, etc), but it is also the best platform hands down to play all the major FPS games (heck, all your base are belong to us)! Combine that with the fact that we also have some extroidinary exclusives like Stalker and Crysis, and the PC is the king of FPS.Vandalvideo
I myself might buy a gaming PC soon. I already have one, but its old now.
thats it? Not too many if you ask me.Not the ones that are on consoles.

You of all people should know by now that Far Cry is exclusive.
Farcry is not on Xbox? So if I buy Farcry Instincts Preditor for 360, I will not be able to play through the same chapters that we did 3 years ago on PC?

correct...Farcry on the COnsoles is a totally different game....very different levels and gameplay.

Whats different about it?
Battlefield 2 is all I need. :) On another note, it's not necessarily the exclusives that make the PC a better FPS machine - but, the vastly superior controls.Erkidu
So it's not really the thought or creative aspect of the PC FPS that makes it better but the peripheral that you use?
