The 360 is basically beta testing for PC games

Am i the only one that ran GTAIV on pc without any problems? Fallout 3 buggy? On my Xbox360 maybe not on my pc mate.Spore,i wouldnt say buggy,just needed a nip and tuck.ducati101

And I would even dare to say the PC platform has the most issues with software because unlike console where the hardware is the same that is not the case for PC gamers. Fallout 3 was buggy, GTAIV was buggy, Spore was buggy, the list goes on but nice try TC ;) :Pjasonheyman

Well if the word "buggy" isn't liked then those games had "issues". And usually problems with software having "issues" is because of the development teams who make the game not catching them. The only reason why PC's hardware can become a problem is because if ones hardware is not up to specs it makes issues on that alone. But usually it's what devs don't catch.

Anc console games don't have any software issues like PC games? I guess those articles about Gears 2 being a mess was just my imagination. Also to answer your second part, that's why system requirements are on the case of PC games. The problem is the user.mo0ksi

I never denied the whole Gears 2 issue. That's not a 360 hardware problem it is an "Epic Team" problem. The devs missed a lot on that game no doubt. And no it's not always the "user" when it comes to specs. Some just have out dated hardware to play the game they want to play.

TC is saying that the 360 is a beta test for PC. When actually it is easier for devs to make games for consoles because consoles have set specs on hardware...

Take Glitch of War 2 for example. Release a buggy mess on the Xbox so that when it comes out on the PC (and trust me, it WILL come to the PC), the problems will be patched already. For another example, look at Mass Effect.

Hope you lemming like your pay-to-play beta testings ;)

I dont think they would beta test on a console that sells games like hotcakes, then release the final build to a system that cant sell a game to save its life

Sadly it's usually the other way around.

So many devs (EA, Ubisoft etc etc) don't bother optimizing the PC version as much anymore.

mass Effect is the best example, but it works the other way round also.
