Now that most developers are saying, "This gen is going to last a long time, we can basically create a game and make it look exactly how we want with virtually no comprimises" Its become apparent that graphics are no longer a hindrance to immersion. Without the PC fanboys (in other words anyone who can't afford a console) last advantage no longer a real advantage, I see virtually no point in gaming on a PC with the exception of old school point-and-click games like RTS's and Diablo clones. They'll claim that PC's are the preferred platform for FPS's, but that's because they have little skill and cannot control the precision dual analogs. Not to mention, I can't remember the last time when a real soldier could turn his gun 180 degrees and pull off a headshot while bunny jumping across the battlefield.

So much wrong with your post. I thought the funniest part was people are PC gamers because they can not afford a console.

You make some points, but none of them are good.

You've got it all backwards. How are MS, Nintendo and Sony going to sell consoles in a handful of years when the average Dell can run Crysis and wirelessly connect to your TV?

Its true. If you claim you don't own a console because there are no good games on them that aren't on the PC, you'd be lying to yourself (and everyone on here of course). I'm not sure how you could consider yourself a gamer and not own a console, the Wii at the very least.

Easy.. Name someone that still played Crysis a month after they bought it. Pretty graphics are bland gameplay don't make a game. Wii sales are proof of this.

Hold it!! You said PCs were cheaper. That is only true if you either don't want to see what's going on in the game or want the game to run slowly.

1788 posts and you still haven't learned simple reading comprehension. I never said graphics didn't matter. I said they've gotten to the point where they are no longer a barrier to immersion.

Yeah, I couldn't miss the unmistakable smell of flame-bait lol.

Im still waiting for consoles to actually do decent amounts of AA, native 1080p at solid 60 frames per second. We were promised a lot at the beginning of this gen and we still havent seen them.

You've missed the point.

Within a handful of years, the average Dell will be capable of maxxing out a game liky Crysis. Furthermore, within a handful of years the average Dell will be able to wirelessly connect to TVs and act as an easy-to-use media centre for movies, TV, music and games. Because of this, PC gaming will also become much more popular (both in the "casual" and "hardcore" senses). So why would anyone buy a console?

Microsoft tried to tell people that 720p would be the standard this gen for consoles, but cows still believed that an old 7 series GPU could do 1080p @ 60fps...

I can't remember the last time when a real soldier could turn his gun 180 degrees and pull off a headshot while bunny jumping across the battlefield.Buster_Highman

I can't remember the last time when real soldiers had a capped turning speed and where weapons aimed automatically.

Crysis is 10 times better than 99% of your stupid console arcade crappy FPS's with crappy graphics, linear levels, and unbalanced multiplayer. Deal with it, you can't afford a computer than can enjoy the open-worldness and awesomness of Crysis, so you bash it.

Crymod

Let me see. 94 modifications and 727 custom levels all created by the mod community and you think no one plays crysis? BTW this is only 1 site with crysis mods and custom content. Also with mods like mechwarrior, Far-crysis and with other few hundreds mods i wouldnt call crysis dead

Let alone that for the millionth time will be mentioned Pc has the most AA and AAA exclusives from any console counting this gen only
