Multiplat titles that should be played on PC

[chipvideo]

I am trying to get a list of games together that I should play on my new powerhouse of a PC. It will have 2 EVGA 470 vid cards as well as a 3.5-4.0 Ghz i7 processor liquid cooled.

When it's released, New Vegas fo sho. Starcraft 2 is the big thing now-a-days, so if you are into those kinds of games, you should try it. Mass Effect 2 was also great on PC.

NV oh yeah. I was also wondering if I should get ME again as well as part 2. How is the framerate on the pc.

[Onslaught X]

Heard Dragon Age was a must.

Also ME is pretty well improved on PC. New interface, better framerate, the works.

DA on PC and DA on console control differently so they're technically different games.

Absolutely.

I own both, the PS3 and PC version. They definitely play out differently. While the PC version is more in the tradition of the older D&D computer series, the PS3 version plays out a bit like Knights of the Old Republic.

Another good multiplat title would be Bioshock 2. The PC version features superior graphics (especially when compared to the PS3 release and it's rather poor textures and the sluggish torch animations) and (AFAIK) allows cross-platform multiplayer (Games for Windows LIVE/XBOX Live)

Mafia 2 I heard was leagues better on the right PC, as well as Just Cause 2.

Thanks guys. I will be getting a free download of mafia II as well. Damn I bought the CE when it came out on the xbox. LOL. ANyone know of any of the upcomming games if they will be optimized for directx 11?

Far Cry 2
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Oblivion
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Dragon Age
Mafia 2
Bioshock 2
Mass Effect 2
ANY Valve game (Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, etc etc..)

Those are just the multiplat games.....

Battlefield Bad Company Vietnam and Battlefield 3 will utilize DX11. SO will Lost Planet 2, Crysis 2, Medal of Honor, Dirt 3, Deus Ex, etc etc....

I'm going to go ahead and say it. Anything that's available on console and PC, is probably better on PC unless your PC is an outdated turd, like mine is.

[SlaughterX]

Pretty much everything that's not made by Ubisoft. I would start with Dead Rising 2.

[BBM128]

Friends don't let friends play C&C Red Alert on console. >_<

I think that this rule, generally is true.

However, what's not defined here is "should be played on PC." For what reasons? If the answer is superior performance, then the thread is moot because the PC is going to outperform the console pretty much every single time.

If "should be played on pc" focuses more on the entire package, like hassle (getting shit to work properly or optimally etc etc etc), comfort, ease of multiplayer, and several other considerations then in several instances, the console is going to win.

It really all depends. All things considered; an RTS should be played on the PC. FPS's control much better on a PC - but I prefer playing them on the PS3 in most instances. I could go on, but it's all a personal preference in the end.
