I agree, Baldur's Gate was stupid.
However, I don't view the PC's lack of games like DDR or Beatmania as a weakness. More of the ultimate plus, I think. DDR and Beatmania are a scar upon the gaming world, and upon human culture.
Personally, I'm sick and tired of the console wars and the console v PC wars. I own all the major consoles and I have a PC, and I have games on each of them I like. I think each console has its strengths, and they each seem to have a different focus on game styles and genres.
Quit claiming one console is better than the other, and quit saying consoles are better than the PC or vice versa. And for all those people who beleive that the PC is fading out, you need to realize that this has been said before. Its a cyclical thing. New consoles come out. Developers build for the new consoles--that's where the money is. That lasts for a few years. Then the consoles start to show their age. But the PC is always evolving, so now its a step ahead, so developers move to the PC. Then the new consoles come out. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Right now, were getting to the point where the consoles are starting to show their age (yes even your beloved Xbox...). An example, look at DOOM 3 or Chronicles of Riddick (or ANY game that is on both) on the PC and on the Xbox. Framerates are better, there is more fluidity, menus are cleaner, and graphics are better, even on older machines like my 2.4 ghz athlon 64 with a radeon 9600. But in '05 or '06 the new consoles will begin arriving, and once again the focus will shift to the consoles.
I just noticed. This posts seems targeted at HashiriyaGDB. That's not how I meant it to sound. It just my opinion, with no target.
