PC scene seems to be a really ungratefull crowd sometimes

Even if it is kinda frustrating sometimes (hehe read hard as hell, expect losing a fight with some bosses a LOT of times). Yes I'm overly passionate, but this is a really good game.

Do you know how much it costs to not put Games For Windows Live on a game? Zero dollars. If the devs can't get their publisher (Namco-Bandai, not exactly a niche company) to give them a few people how know how to use a mouse and keyboard, why should anyone buy the game?

It will flop and the developers will blame pirates.

Frags. PC gamers do not want to buy a full-price game (any game $50+) that has 30fps and a locked 1024*720 resolution. Unfortunately we live in a Capitalist society where the market decides success.

It's nice of them to try, but they should get some external help if they've never produced anything for PC before.

How could you.

It won't be sold for that much, can't you recognise a courtesy when you see it. Even a ps2 or N64 title will make any high-end pc cough up blood when trying to emulate the raw code, and this is a ps3 title they were screaming for. WANTS. And gets. What the que. You are asking for the impossible, to make a ps3 game run on a pc on emulation, yet they managed to cap it at 30 fps. I know pc's are capable of much much more but it's exactly what 60.000 people signed a petition for, a pc-port of the absolutely awesome Dark Souls. Be happy, the pc that would be able to give you this at 60fps and all technical wizardry could be very close to overthrowing the human race

No, it's not exactly what people asked for. When people ask for a PC port they usually want all the standard options any other PC title offers, like higher resolution and a crisper image. The argument about it being impossible to emulate a PS3 game is really bad, there are countless games that run well on both platforms. Of course it has to be done right and they couldn't do that. But sometimes it's better not to promise something at all if you can't do it right.

What do you think the PS 3 community would do if someone promised them a port of a PC strategy game and then said they have to connect a mouse and keyboard to play because the PS3 controller isn't supported?

It isn't build to run on a pc, it would have to build from scratch and it's a game only a few people will enjoy. With a game like Crysis 3 you can expect the pc version to have all the ohgawdyes because it's designed to run on whatever supermodel you lovingly oil up, but this just a port of a 2 year old game designed to run on relatively ancient tech.

Asked, got it

This.
Not porting it would've caused back lash and lot of ill will, but a bad port sold at the price of a regular game, is even worse.

Except that it's not sold at full price, and it's not a bad port it's a better version. It's just dated by today's graphical standards for the pc. Any console-game is, don't want it don't ask for it, but asking for it they did.

I'd say 40 bucks is fully rounded price, or in the least it cannot be considered cheap.
I personally don't care a jot about the graphics, but I want my keyboard and mouse to work properly.

All that said I don't say that everything the PC crowd did was correct. But then some degree of fault lies with the creators too.
