Seriously, has Schafer given up on the PC audience? I'm still waiting for Brutal Legend and feeling very disappointed and betrayed.

This thread makes my blood boil. Someone asks whether there'll be a PC version and the usual typical console shits or fanboys(the rest are matured players that I've no problems with) reply how PC gaming is dying because of piracy and how you need $5000 PCs to run a game. So the PC gamers can't even ask if there's a version for them now.
I feel like signing up to the forums just to reply them.

Actually i think its okay, i want to play my games the way Schafer feels they need to be played. If the game is designed to be played on a console so be it.

Unfortunately that won't help much, and chances are you'll feel worse afterwards.
It's a sad state of affairs, but I'm not too bothered really. I would have liked to see those games on PC, but I've given up.
Every time I see stuff like that it just means I spend more money here or on indie games.

I don't mind. If developers feel they want to target one demographic and leave the rest out, it's their problem, not mine.

Bah, that's what they like to say...
I play Street Fighter IV on PC, with both a gamepad and arcade stick and it works brilliantly, you can't get anymore console than that. Tim did say Brutal Legend's controls are made more for consoles before, and that's how I replied. I highly doubt BL's controls are as complicated as some of SFIV's combos and special moves. And I got people using me as combo target practise online in PC SFIV.

Yeah, these days getting a "console experience" on the PC it's as simple as plugging in a 360 controller (whether wired or wireless), which most recent games support, right down to rumble, analog sensitivity and on-screen prompts identical to the 360 version. There are even some PC-only games that support it (such as the Crysis games).
If your PC is close enough to the TV you can plug it into your video card and get the couch part of the experience as well; all recent video cards have DVI out (some with S-Video as well) in addition to or instead of legacy VGA, and many come bundled with adapters for every other output type you could possibly need.

I own an XBox 360 and admit I spend a lot of time on the types of games that work well on that platform (mostly cause I'm sick of screwing with messed up PC DRM).
With that said, there's no way to get a Homeworld type of experience on a console, to name one measly example out of 1000s. RPGs have a notably different flavor on consoles, and it's not just Japanese vs. American either. I don't hate consoles, I find a good console is a great complement to my gaming, but PCs are more customizable, I'm more at home there. My console feels like my Cuisinart blender or coffee maker to me, it's an appliance that does one thing. On my PC, I not only game, I do tons of things.
And besides, with the combo of the two you can do fun things, like stream movies via UPnP at HD resolutions from my PC to 360 and spit out onto my HDTV:)
