[QUOTE="xTreasonerx"]Last time I checked, a lot of PC games require disks to run on top of installations. Even with full installations on some games, I still needed a disk, so thats not really a valid argument for me. Another thing, just because you haven't had problems with your video card or other components doesn't mean that everyone else hasn't either. Vandalvideo
Thats what no CD fixes are for, which only take 30 seconds to get. Problems with video cards isn't something thats happening in large numbers. Most likely its due to end user neglect more than anything. In other words, your own fault.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that video cards don't have anywhere close to a 30% failure rate as some consoles do. :lol:

Go look at my specs and It wasn't like the story was so in depth that I would want to remember everything. I am sure of what I told happened in the game and I didn't go to some sight to get info on it. Think what you want - I don't care!

slickchris7777

Yes. The those Intel makes 64 bit processors, including the one you have. Also, your specs are meaningless without showing your video card. Do this... go to Start->Run, type "dxdiag" and take a screenshot of the System and Display tabs. What you screenshotted means nothing.

This is the last pic I take and if you don't believe me from now I don't care. As far as the truth goes hermits are the biggest at stretching the truth followed by the cows. Also hermits act very anal on here and I'm just not in to that crap. This board is for amusement purposes , not for downgrading people's lives or the system/computer they play their games on. Call me a lemming, a fanboy or a troll, I don't care and it is meaningless to me.

*awaits people flooding here and bringing up the price arguament*Lonelynight

Which is funny because some defended a $600 console or combining all three consoles combined to say the sum of all parts are greater then PC.

I will say that the only thing that will make me build another PC up for gaming is Starcraft 2, but we all know it will get delayed for like 5 years so I don't have to worry about that anytime soon.

Theres a lot of good stuff on that list I'd be interested in such as Guild Wars 2, but doesn't make me wanna run out and buy a PC anytime soon. Not to mention that Vista = Epic Fail.

Vista does = epic fail, and thats why I still have XP. XP won't be phased out for quite some time. Oh, and theres definitely more PC games coming than console games.

Sheer stupidity of that comment is too amusing to ignore. How is that relevant to anything -- plus, you even got it wrong. Halo is an installation in space.

Thanks for your opinion, but ultimately that doesn't matter. The PC has the most announced exclusives and will continue to have the most highly rated titles.

Sorry but the only exclusive games I bought in 07 for 360 was HAlo 3 & Mass Effect which are both very likely timed anyway.

I bought 14 PC games ... that would only get me 7 360 games.... because console games are overpriced.

PC doesnt have a big enough list of games (graphics wise) that blow away KZ2, Uncharted, GT5, MGS4!! Only CRYSIS can and it could possibly come to consoles in a watered down form. I want to get a gaming rig but why? I been playing consoles for 25 years. If the PC has 20 true games with technology equal to or better than Crysis id buy one this second.

About the 8600GT? Sure its more powerful than consoles but who really cares? When i see what Polyphony Digital is doing with inferior graphics cards im way more impressed with the PS3 than i am with a super gaming rig running Crysis!!

The PC doesn't need games that are technologically equal to Crysis. Most PC games are timeless in terms of graphics. The PC has the most announced exclusive and highly rated titles, and that won't be changing anytime soon. Amazing graphics does not a great game make. Lair case in point.

Go look at my specs and It wasn't like the story was so in depth that I would want to remember everything. I am sure of what I told happened in the game and I didn't go to some sight to get info on it. Think what you want - I don't care!

slickchris7777

Yes. The those Intel makes 64 bit processors, including the one you have. Also, your specs are meaningless without showing your video card. Do this... go to Start->Run, type "dxdiag" and take a screenshot of the System and Display tabs. What you screenshotted means nothing.

This is the last pic I take and if you don't believe me from now I don't care. As far as the truth goes hermits are the biggest at stretching the truth followed by the cows. Also hermits act very anal on here and I'm just not in to that crap. This board is for amusement purposes , not for downgrading people's lives or the system/computer they play their games on. Call me a lemming, a fanboy or a troll, I don't care and it is meaningless to me.

PC gaming is fun, but really I just don't think it compares to sitting on a couch with your mates and beers.. Keyboard and Mouse too.. =\

I just can't really see the appeal in sitting by yourself the whole time in front of the PC..
That said I do enjoy some great PC games, World in Conflict for example, that is just FUN =]

Interesting. Seems like we are opposites. We both own both platforms, yet prefer different ones between each other ;) Though, I play my games at TruHD resolutions in SLI, 1650x1050.
