I was poking around Metacritic and noticed, in it's "All Time" section, that the pc seemed to only have one AAA scoring exclusive since 1998. The title being "Thief," sitting at a 92. Is this right?

Sure it is, that is why 99% of my gaming is on consoles

.

Witcher 2, Mass Effect 3, Bioshock, Skyrim etc are all on xbox 360

Fable 2, Demons Souls, Halo, Gears, Ni no Kuni, Lost Odyssey, Dust, Bleu Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Castlevania, Zelda SS are not on PC

Dark SOuls, Mass Effect came years earlier on consoles and are terrible PC ports

.

It is all about consoles these days

would be true if we forgot about starcraft, deus ex, total war series, UT series, civ series, WoW, Crysis etc.

Looks like console peasants are getting desperate considering c has more exclusive titles rated 80% and above than all current gen consoles combined. Why Umad peasants?

so it's because you don't know anything about pc gaming and don't realize what's exclusive and what's not. why would you make a list of multiplats when the list i showed you has exclusives? baldur's gate 2, rome: total war, civilization iv, company of heroes, starcraft 2, homeworld, moh:aa, etc. :|

Every time we get closer to the end of a gen, consolites get a bit more desperate and start spewing even more nonsense than usual. At some level, they always know how inferior consoles are, but as the gap widens over the years, they find it harder to lie to themselves, and become delusional.

If TC is too dumb to find the games in question, let him wallow in his ignorance. Ignorance is the most prominent aspect of consolites when it comes to understanding PC gaming, anyway.

I find it funny how you keep using Blue Dragon as ammo against pc, which only scored a B but yet not that long ago you dismissed The Last Story as "meh", which scored AAA here.

From that list, which by the way is an absolutley menaingless amalgamation of random critics:

BG2

Command and conquer

Grim Fandango

company of heroes

Unrela tournament 2k4

Star Craft 2

Home World

WOW

War Craft 3

System Shock 2

Rome Total War

Thief.

Age of Empire 2

Alpha Century

Unrela tournament

Galactic Civ 2

Baldur's Gate

Free Space 2

IL2sturmovik

Crysis

WOW: burning crusade

The longest journey

Battlefield 2

Planescape Tormet

Neverwinter Nights

Call of Duty

(The Pc verisons of these games are essentially very different (and much better), but you can omit them if you want)

Minecraft

The Sims 2

The Sims

Team fortress 2

Again, that list means nothing though. Plenty of more games don't exist in their library or only feature some critics and not others at random, and many feature several ratings above 90, but with some biased publication declaring it a 5 or something bringing down the average.

Meta critic is meaningless, as many people have been talkign about recently do to the shameful attention it gets from idiot corporate idiots.

Or in other words:

You sir are a gigantic numbskull.

Let me help you out here. Starcraft 2 , Civilization series , Total War series are amongst recent AAA exclusives Also we are in gamespot so we use GS scores and pc by far betters both consoles ( combined that is ) But if you insist looking metacritic still pc has way more AA/AAA games than either consoles Also anyone neglecting a game because some critics found it worth an 8,5 instead of a 9 has no idea about videogames

Nice self ownage peasant. Im pretty sure crysis1 in its original form (cry engine 2) is on consoles... oh wait, they had to make the game from scratch on PeasantEngine3... thus making the original exclusive.

Civ 5, exclusive, WoW, exclusive, Total war, Exclusive, Dues EX, exclusive, Starcraft EXCLUSIVE.

would you kindly show me the mac tab on metacritic's system list? when we say "pc" here, we don't mean just IBM compatible. we mean personal computer.
