Think this way, people use pcs to view Gamespot.Ncsoftlover

yea since we all know every1 owns a $2000 pc

Umm.. Actually Unreal Turnament 3 is winning...brettneo3012

Umm.. Actually Unreal Turnament 3 is winning...brettneo3012

oh, wow it is...I didnt even bother looking down their since a few days ago it had like two percent of the votes.....quite surprising too...since UT3 really hasnt been that popular online....guess everyone is playing with bots (which are very smart)

Umm.. Actually Unreal Turnament 3 is winning...brettneo3012

yep. its not even as hyped as Crysis and not out for the PS3 yet, so its a shock!

To be honest, this game deserves the award. I played for 2 hours at a lan party on my friend's computer. It was one of the best pc experiences i have had in awhile. I played only the single player, but it was extremely hard and at the same time rewarding once you killed or got through a certain area. The graphics were wasting away at the 8800 gt inside but it shouldnt be a problem once the 9 series comes out in feb or so.

Anyone who says this game is crap just has not played it seriously. As much as I want to see a ps3 game up at the top crysis surely does it for me.

yeah suprisingly UT3 is winning.

I saw that, I thought it was really strange. I have it and I definitely think Crysis is better.

I'm just suprised Halo 3 isn't first. lol

I'm right there with you buddy.

With Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysisleading the pack, what does this say about PC naysayers?

bu bu bu u need to have teh $2200000 trillion jillion dullah computez to run da pc games

I guess the combined 28 percent, more than a fourth of voters say otherwise.

It doesn't cost run $2000 to run Crysis. I'm building a rig and its going to cost me a bit (looking at $1600 right now) but there are hundreds of retail computers around $500 that can probably run it on medium or low settings.

But then again you have to pay anywhere from 2k to 4k on a nice 720p or 1080p tv to get the most out of your consoles. Playing on standard def for consoles could be compared to low settings for crysis; crysis is a game made to look pretty, its 40% of the game itself. So really, its a trade off and in the end they about equal out.

The only thing consoles have over pc's is its almost a fullguarantee that console games will be stable on consoles. There is always that chance that this game you buy might not be as stable as you would like on your pc.

I have ALWAYS, to this day, thought of Half-life 2 as the most overrated junk that has ever been released. The only thing good that came out of that was counter-strike and portal. I would have beaten Half-life 2 if it wasn't for the stupid zombie missions. It was actually on the verge of being fun until I got to the ravenholm level and that just killed the game for me. I decided to delete it from my harddrive and have never played it since.

This is just my opinion though, and I doubt many people will agree with me :P.

Your comparison is ridiculous. I have a 32" Flat screen and I happen to enjoy it for gaming, HDTV is not needed so i can play games on my console, I've seen the diffrence between HD and regular def, and it's not a huge deal. On the otherhand, My PC wont run crysis if I have a 16 or32 MB card and the framerates are killing it, how can you enjoy a game like that?. With consolesIdont have to see if my computer meets the minimum requirements, cause I know it been optimized for it.

I loved Half Life 2, but absolutely hated Ravenholme.

Hated the zombies, hated everything about that part. Which in turn, made me hate to death the first half of Episode 1.

Doom 3 wasn't fun, neither was that.

I guess that is your prerogative to play consoles. Personally, I do not like settling for second best. I am a true hardcore gamer, so to me, it is worth spending the little extra money to be able to be part of the elite gamers. Also, My whole computer cost me $800, and that is including a monitor and OS, and my rig can easily play Crysis on medium-medhigh.

Good, I dont think anyoneshould tell you what to game on, I'm just saying that hermits have a hard time admiting that you need to spend more money than a console (PS3 at $600) to run their high end games at a "decent" setting. You basically get what you pay for, hermits get the best graphics, but they also pay the most.

Agreed, and I would probably have gotten a console also if my current TV wasn't over 12 years old. PC gaming is quite expensive but I just think people overuse that argument and exaggerate it.

Guys really it is just a popularity contest, people vote for the games they have actually played or vote for the game they think is going to win. Thats why GOTY nominees based on popular opinion is such crock since none of the people voting have played all of those games and cannot possibly judge fairly.Truth-slayer

This is quite obvious with the large amounts of votes for Crysis and Halo 3. I hope that people judge fairly and vote for the truly best game this year, but there will still be those few fanboys that will vote blindly.

I bought Vista Home Premium for $100........

And XP is fine for now anyway. Why don't consolites include the price of XBL (if you have a 360), a wireless adapter, HDTV, accessories, extra controllers, and more expensive games in the cost of consoles? Hmmm.....

These huge swings in %s don't really make sense to me... Where the hell did UT3 come from? It had like 3% of the vote a day a go, and crysis was like in 5th place yesterday, too. Now all the sudden it's in first place?

At a certain point, IF this survey was ligit and peoplearen'tcreating a bunch of accounts to inflate the vote, then the %s should stay the same.
