Don't give COD4 credit. They pretty much took out from people who made it as a mod. Harcore mode has been made for pretty much every PC FPS game as a mod.
Project Reality on BF2 was phenomenal, so I wonder how hardcore mode will stack up
You realize Dead Space didn't sell that well on consoles either? Plus, if anything game development is far cheaper for PC. Just put it on Steam. No worrying about paying for the materials, shipping, people buying the used copy, or people renting the game.
Why do you think console companies are constantly going bankrupt? Whereas PC oriented companies are doing just fine?
The game was on the Steam Holiday Sale and the 75% off EA store. It was on the topsellers list for...

Stop spouting BS. Dead Space sold pretty well in retail
most of its sales were on Steam, as usual, most PC gamers barely buy from retail anymore. They just buy from Steam.
Console version of Sims 3 will be meh just like Dragon Age and Risen. You might as well say Supreme Commander 2 on the 360 will be just as good as the PC version.
I would be excited for Dead Space 2 until the devs said that they want you to feel like a bada$$ and want to make the game an action game
And yet console developers and publishers are going bankrupt and closing down.
Why aren't PC devs closing down?
Because majority of the game sales are on Steam, Impulse and Direct2Drive. Those are digital distribution. They don't release sales figures.
PC gamers don't wait, peeing their pants in excitement for the next NPD results. They know most PC games will sell well and the dev will stay in business.
EVE Online isn't innovative? While I do agree a lot of WRPGs are starting to lose it, because they are becoming dumbed down, oh I mean streamlined, not dumbed down.
I hate that word, "streamlined"
I would say EVE Online is the most innovative RPG ever made. 52 000 on one server? IT is actually a virtual world, a no man's land. A laissez faire market. Nothing will ever come close to it.
Demon's Souls's innovative online mechanism is awesome th...
I still can't believe people think ME2 is a RPG.
" The issue mass effect had is that the rpg aspects, classes, stats, gear, party really didn't matter because you could do whatever you wanted and succeed. That isn't the RPG experience. The RPG experience consists of formula based combat and success. That means there has to be hard counters, the items, and the stats you have must be important in order to garner success.

That game is garbage. Why is Fable 2 there, but not The Witcher?
The Witcher was phenomenal, but Fable 1.5 is there? What the hell?
The only people who like it are the people who started playing WRPGs this gen. Fallout 1 and 2 are so much more superior. Why is it a game that is over a decade old have way more depth than a game that came out this gen?
allout 1 and 2 were so much more superior. There were so many things that Fallout 1 and 2 had and did it better.
Things like the dark humour of the first two games (which Fallout 3 had practically none of).
Things like much better writing than ...
How many people have actually played Dragon Age on PC? If you haven't don't comment
Spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate 2.
ME2 isn't even a real RPG.
Seriously, everyone talks about WPRGs dominating, but they aren't. In fact, they have gotten worse. It is just that they have finally reached consoles, even though they were dumbed down so much.
Baldurs Gate 2, Fallout 1 and 2, Planescape Torment
Those games are untouchable.
It isn't glitchy. They finally polished it out
And this review is terrible
"Call of Pripyat’s opening, and the fact that you’re literally just abandoned on a hilltop with only the barest information, will make the latest STALKER instalment incredibly difficult for newcomers to the series. This is especially true if you're expecting a standard FPS template, because that's exactly what Call of Pripyat isn't. STALKER is an RPG shooter series like few others, and th...
sigh...

No S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat = automatic fail
"What you've discribed there sir
IS a JRPG.
If you look at most, if not All Western RPG You'll see that MAss Effect IS a WRPG, saying otherwise would be like saying
Fallout 3 isn't an RPG
Oblivion, Morrowind , Diablo 2 ,Even dragon age is completable with character builds best suited for 'your personal experience' as opposed to What stat best suits your character to beat 'x' foe.
To make my rant atad bit shorter, I think everything you just said i...

But that also means that it has to compete with Deus Ex and System Shock 2.
That is laughable. ME2 is not better than those games
Wait, so you prefer JRPGs....but complain about Mass Effect for being too open world? And you could go anywhere.
The only place you couldn't go where the planets that where too hazardous.
It matters what did you hate about the first?
ME2 is a deeper Gears of War, with a story and some dialogue choices.
I still can't believe people think ME2 is a RPG.

LOLOLOLOLOL People actually think Uncharted 2 looks better than Crysis?
Crysis has scale. uncharted has linear level designs. Crysis has an almost fully dynamic destructable environment. Crysis is pretty much an open world game. So much more is being processed in Crysis, and it looks better. You know the ocean in Crysis? You know even the rocks underwater, the fish etc.. They all look phenomenal.
Hell, Uncharted 2 doesn't even touch Arma 2. Arma 2 processes a full is...
