    Default Console RPGs VS. PC RPGs

    why are PC RPGs always so unlike Console RPGs?
    I understand the mouse keyboard aspect, but I can rarely find any that compare with RPGs on consoles.

    PC RPGs are always so much more serious and dark.
    why not Star Ocean or .hack?

    Consoles are for small children.

    I still find consoles more fun.better stories and just gameplay is so much more fun.

    The only good thing about PC RPGs are that you have they option to interact with other people other than that there not better at all.

    I've always preferred PC RPG's, their stories are much more engaging, you interact with many people and there is generally more freedom.

    We have fallout 1-2, planescape, and nwn, plus more I'm too lazy to name
    They have old snes rpgs. (mass effect is pc too)

    By we I mean us, the dominating pc gamers, not pre*****cent enough for console wars.

    console RPG's are so much more fun when your playing on a 52 inch screen.

    I did not think SoE was shit at all,but thats just me.

    and when i think console,i dont think snes(in this paticular discussion).If your going to compare the two,then atleast start at PS2,Gamecube and up,my opinion anyway.

    unlimited saga
    That game made me wanna kick a kitten such an awful game I cut up and threw it away. Lucky I only spent 5 dollars on it. As for PC vs console RPGs I like both console games have an ending so if you are will to play and the game is good you won't get bored. PC you can play with others and if the came is a success more contente is added over time. Only downside to this is it get boring after a while being that it never really ends.

    I think the PS2 is when console rpgs started to suck.

    I only liked Kingdom hearts>_>

    Even if the Disney theme was a little odd,it was original at least.

    I think it has to do with the conception of target audience/age group or rather the stereotyping of PC vs Video gamers.
