Well I just bought myself a new rig and Crysis is AMAZING Graphically. The problem though is it suffers like many pc games from being poorly optimized. I have 2 ATI 4870's, and it's completely inconsistent in the fps. Like, for example, in some amazing outdoor areas it runs solidly at 35 fps, but in some not so great indoor areas it chugs like a mofo and becomes unplayable.

This is the main advantage consoles have I think in graphics, is that they are fixed. With consoles you only develop with one system in mind, but with pc's devs have to deal with so many different models, that creating really great graphics can leave optimization issues.

lol 35 fps in crysis my ass my 8800 gt can do that on high 1280x1024

I ran all very high with 1680x1050 and 2x antialiasing, but on the damned ship i had to turn it down because for no reason in particular it just refused to run properly, all the way to the hunter fight, where it picked back up.

it's gotta be a driver error drivers holding back card performance ....because i can run 1600x1200 x4 aa with about 25 fps-15

Anti aliasing isnt even needed in crysis it all depends on the game.

How do you have more acces, you need every console... not just 1...

Bebi_vegeta

Yup, i do. and i do. THUS my CONSOLE GAMING > PC gaming

And I have every single platforme... me > you... see easy.

No i own a gaming PC as well. SO me=you.

But purely console vs purely PC console>PC

If only I could play any console game in any console hardware... then I could agree with you. Like I said, not everyone has all consoles. So it's a useless argument since your only a small % in having all consoles.

Ok take the PS3 (fully BC)

360 (BC)

Wii (vitual console)

Each one of those on its own has a better library than the PC.

another moot point PC users....

exactly when comparing you have to think of the person that doesnt have anything. and what he/she would WANT.

my cpu is really holding back my performance in crysis...with a 8800 gt+core 2 duo in crysis id be getting alot better frames than iam now with 8800 gt+ single core athlon 64 2.0 ghz socket 939 chip.

Hell if i had a 3800+ athlon 64 x2 dualcore 2.0 ghz my crap would be getting alot better fps...i was gonna buy a socket 939 dualcore chip...but everyone bought them all before i could get one....no longer in production.

It might be, I haven't checked for the latest drivers for these cards yet, but it runs WiC perfectly at about 40 fps easy so I haven't thought too much about it. And actually I turned AA on because it just looked so dandy without jaggie trees :D What settings do you run it at?

[QUOTE="anshul89"]agreed. pc's are too far ahead.FunkyHeadHunter

I have never never never never never ever EVEEEEEErrr....Seen a thread or a response like this. If PC's are so far ahead why in the world do I not see this HUGE difference? Seems to me It would stick out like a sore thumb? I must be getting old as I just dont see PC being that much ahead in graphic and it sure isnt in gameplay.

BUT, like yours and other responses, Its my personal opinion and how I feel about it

Why woudn't gamerankings be console biased? If there's more reviewers biased for console, that would make gamerankings biased as well.

And by here, we go by gamespot... maybe you should read the rules...

crysis is actually the only game that warrants me to upgrade my cpu...because the game wasnt coded/optimized properly for a single core.

if you are running a single core 2.0 ghz athlon 64 and then a dualcore version 2.0 ghz you gain like 10 fps.

It actually runs good on my cpu untill a **** of enemys swarm around me a.i

Single core... is pretty old. Most games take advantage of 2 cores... or 1 core+ht.

dude you've been proven false many times.

O yeah? Checkl my last 10-15 posts.... and tell me whats false... Someone saying PC>consoles doesnt make my points false... Soemone using GS scores vs the World score... doesnt = false. Someone opinion vs mine doesnt = false....

Fact is, everyone who has argued with me thus far has been proven false... the only false thing about my posts so far is this one... because i said i wouldnt post again unless i had good reason.

pc tech is always getting better, no need to worry about being old or out of date

best graphics is found on the pc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nzMdPwO2Qw

I am sure I could give and write so much more why the pc is always better than consoles.

You're on gamespot for christ sake, why would you use any other site for ranking games.

Alright go on game rankings and tell me who has more AAAA,AAA,AA between PC vs PS3 or XBOX360 or Wii.

You no I almost want to.

But like i said, with backawrds compatibility... ITs certainly not as good as PS3.

I will say however, PS3 games alone, PC is better.

360 games alone (since most are on PC anyway) PC is better

And wii alone Everything is better.

But if you consider ALL the games they can play, then no PC is not better than any of those consoles.

crysis runs good on a single core athlon 64 2.0 ghz untill you get a crapload of enemy a.i/physics and then it starts slowing down putting strain on cpu ....damn i wish i had a dualcore version of this cpu fps would be alot better.

asssswads didnt optimize enough for single core cpus.

owell it's still playable...but my fps would average alot better with dualcore drop less.

a pentium 4 with HT would probley run crysis better than my athlon 64 since it has that hyperthreading crap.

[QUOTE="TheMistique"][QUOTE="copenblend07"]

[QUOTE="TheMistique"]until copenblend (or anyone) can prove why any single current gen console is better than pc there is no reason to even keep this goingcopenblend07

SO then you admit console gaming in whole is better than pc gaming? Cause thats the argument we are in right now.

when did anyone ever say console gaming as a whole? we all say console gaming as in any console. please realize that pc is better than any console ever

You no I almost want to.

But like i said, with backawrds compatibility... ITs certainly not as good as PS3.

I will say however, PS3 games alone, PC is better.

360 games alone (since most are on PC anyway) PC is better

And wii alone Everything is better.

But if you consider ALL the games they can play, then no PC is not better than any of those consoles.

ok well pc has more BC than any single one of them. like i said in a previous post. snes nes n64 psx sega every pc genoration of games etc...

pc is without a doubt the best single gaming system to own right now.

Certainly not as good? It's certainly is better than PS3, even with backwards compatibility

why are we even comparing backwards compatability anyway. no one is buying a ps3 to play ps2/ps1 games those games were good for their time but if say gta3 came out now with the high standards of games now it would get a 3.0 or less same thing with loz oot yes twilight princess beat it in every way but it certainly wasnt as good as OoT for it's time period. point is people are buying current gen consoles to play current gen games and in that respect, pc is going to town on any of the consoles. im leaving with this

pc>ps3 pc>360 pc>wii

p.s. i own a ps3 and like it a lot.

[QUOTE="aliblabla2007"][QUOTE="copenblend07"][QUOTE="hongkingkong"][QUOTE="copenblend07"]

And the only reason i bring up mods by the way. Is because thats all PC gamers have left to cling to. (aside from graphics) Good games dont come out excusively for the PC anymore. The best pc games are all console ports, or over 5 years old.

copenblend07

.

Do you want me to link you to AdrianWerner's super thread for the years 06 07 and 08 or do you want me to be merciful? Saying PC has no exclusives is the metaphorical way of shooting yourself in the face while checking the barrel of your gun. Self ownage approved, anyone?

As for mods, well its clear PC has the upper hand here. Not only is the PC an open platform for content most modders work on PCs anyway, so modding for PC games is the natural progression. You'll get jailbreaks etc but its not going to stretch to big mods like garry's mod soley intended to create insane youtube videos (i believe that's the purpose anyway :P)

I didnt say it has no exclusives, im just saying the quality/quantity is nowhere near that of a console.

Woah, ignorance rears its hideous head in such an obvious way this time.

I could show you a list of Gamespot ratings that show one thing: The PC's exclusive count of 10s/9s/8s in combination utterly destroys any console, and still has more than if you combined all the consoles together.

Yeah. because GameSpot isnt totally biased towards the PC or nething.....

And since i have more than one console, my AA+ exclusives are more than PCs.....

Ands PCs AA+ games wouldnt make it on a console. You think SPORE would sell worth a damn on PS3 or 360? Get real.

Same with warcraft. And most strategy games. REAL genres area ll done better on the console

Assuming we can't use Gamespot's because it's "biased" towards the PC (which it isn't, it's biased towards mainstream overhyped trash which are far more common on consoles than PC. If you are still using this lame form of trolling denial, then tell me why you say so and give me a proper reason or I won't even bother arguing with you and the trash you spit out) then we can't use Gamerankings either, because it counts tons of fanboy Xbox/PS websites that hand out 10s all the damn time, whereas PC websites are damn harsh.

Oh, and strategy games not counting is your biased opinion. They are real, solid, existing games, and they do count, no matter what your ignorant fanboy mind forces you to believe. Just because a genre doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean that everybody else on the forum should exclude it from these discussions. For example, I hate sports games (If I wanted to play football, I would use my legs, not a controller) but that doesn't mean I exclude them from such discussions.

Nor should you decide what constitutes debate material for us. It's a SW official AND unofficial rule that we use the stickied thread above (which shows the PC has roughly double the number) to determine library strength. And it is with that thread we judge such things, and we don't use different sources just because some newbie claims the official source is "biased" without providing a proper argument why it's biased.

And I'm talking to a guy who attacks hermits for being arrogant. What a hypocrite.

And why wouldn't Spore sell anything on 360 or PS3? Get real, use logic and put your brain to use. All those consolites you side with keep saying that games sell tons better on consoles (despite notable differences such as marketing campaign budgets) so why wouldn't the same thing apply here?

So it seems that PC users cant hold up the argument that PC> consoles anymore then right? Cause the comparison has always been PC> console.... NOT PC>360... PC>PS3 its PC>consoles.

copenblend07
You're wrong, it's PC vs. one console at a time. Some consolites try to say otherwise but then can't detail the logic behind doing so. There's no logical excuse to gang three systems against one and call it fair. And even doing so, the PC stands up incredibly well, which just shows how strong it is. PC is winning this gen. And FYI, it won last gen, too.

funny this whole time dualcore wasnt really needed untill crysis it's not not needed but if you dont ever want to be slowing down sometimes when action gets crazy need dualcore ...i think i have a powersupply issue not giving the amount power this 8800 gt really wants /rest of my system also.

but this sucks my motherboard can run a dualcore...athlon 64 socket 939 sli board..but i waited to long to get one...all sold out now or overpriced because amd discontinued them to for their newer socket interface cpu's socket am2 and drr2.. socket 939 uses ddr1.

hahahaaha i love how to completely diffferent conversations are taking place in this thread...



but anyways, copenblend07, ever since u joined GS, uve been doin nothing but whining and complaing about pc gaming, just calm down

its obvious u prefer consoles, and others prefer pc as their main gaming platform, big deal, not everyone has to agree with u

i personally enjoy consoles, i still play my ps2 to this day, and i plan on getting a ps3 someitme in the future, and for the past month or so ive been mainly gaming on my new DS(which i love to death), but at heart im a pc gamer and always will be, PC's in general i sa hobby for me apart from gaming on them, and same wiht many other pc gamers

and enough with your "facts", facts dont mean a goddamn thing when it comes down to whether u find one particular gaming platform more fun and enjoyable to ur personal tastes to the others

obviously some pc "elitest" on here a certainly a little over there heads with console bashing, but same can be said for the console only players

i dont get why people have to put down other platforms thats not "their" platforms, when we're are all doing the same thing on them, gaming, gaming is what brings us all here, and its really sad to see the elitest in these boards(whether it be console or pc elitist) literally WANTING to see other platforms and games fail, because its not their platform

some people on these boards(both console and pc gamers) just need to gorw up and realize their are all advantages and disadvantages to all systems, and it just comes down to personal taste/opinion of what that choose to mainly game on, and should be aware of that fact that it is OK to own and play on more than "your" system

all in all, to my personal tastes, i see more advantages for me in pc's rather than the current gen consoles that make sme put the most money and time into pc's, BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN I CANT OWN AND ENJOY MY PS2(SOMETIME IN FUTURE PS3) AND MY BELOVED NINTENDO DS


...hopefully i dont get ignored, it seems whenever i try to make a long logical post in threads like these, either i just competely get passed up and ignored, while people keep on bickkering on the same topic, or the thread just dies

Thats also all the PC games all time. Not just one gen. PC in unique in that its its own system during each of the console gens. And if your gonna say PC gaming is better than console gaming... your going against all the consoles. Not the PS3, not the 360, all of them.

Why dont expansions count? O idk cause they are released as a game addon. Period. Whil i agree Vegas 2 wasnt big enough to be its own game... it was released as such.

O and from that list of 200, only 10% are PC exclusive. And of that 10% (20 games) 11 games = WoW, Strategy, expansions.. and the sims 2.

So since console gaming kicked off, you have 9 games in the top 200 worth a crap. If you dont see the point here yet, your simply lost, in you "PC gaming is better" blind elitist fanboyism.

copenblend07

Uh yes it is PC gaming of all time.... Versus every gaming system of all time.

PC gaming is better than console gaming? Its an illogical comparison. This is system wars, systems arent compared. You dont simply bundle systems together in order to claim 'ownage', and its no surprise if you bundle every freaking console and handheld together its going to be stronger than the PC on its own.

Stand alone expansions?.... Vegas 2 could have been an addon, COD3 to COD2 (like COD UO was to COD1) go figure really.

Since console gaming kicked off? What? Console gaming 'kicked off' decades ago, PC gaming only gained a growth in popularity during the great video games industry crash.

"PC gaming is better" elist fanboyism? Is this this the latest buzzwords for people who blatantly hate other systems in order to make them seem less bias?

As yourself?

Seems so.

Of course I have some bias towards PC gaming, its always been my proffered system, even every gen I have owned a console(s) in. I never dont admit that. So this makes me an elitist fanboy, even though I still console (and handheld) game just as much, but admit i rather pc gaming - yet can see merits in individual systems?

Its quite clear, to anyone that the PC is one of the most strongest platforms, if not the strongest platform, due to a variety of reasons and it has its strengths and weaknesses as other systems.

Of course if you are unreasonable all the time, and if you do love to blatantly hate systems obviously you arent going to see any merits in PC gaming at all.
Which pretty much puts you on the verge of fanboyism.

If you rather console gaming thats just fine.

You dont need to go about earbashing people about what you think of specific gaming systems, its not as if its going to make you enjoy the systems you game on any more.

How do you have more acces, you need every console... not just 1...

copenblend07

Yup, i do. and i do. THUS my CONSOLE GAMING > PC gaming

And I have every single platforme... me > you... see easy.

No i own a gaming PC as well. SO me=you.

But purely console vs purely PC console>PC

If only I could play any console game in any console hardware... then I could agree with you. Like I said, not everyone has all consoles. So it's a useless argument since your only a small % in having all consoles.

Ok take the PS3 (fully BC)

Not where I live.

360 (BC)

With a few games.

Wii (vitual console)

With a few games.

Each one of those on its own has a better library than the PC.

another moot point PC users....

O rly?

Id much rather have this video card 8600 gts 256 mb muchless my 8800 gt 512 mb and my outdated single core processor rig than ps3/xbox360 anyday.
