Question to PC gamers.

[QUOTE="Puckhog04"]

We PC gamers really don't care about console games either. Goes both ways there sonny.

Simple fact is that this is System Wars. We have as much right to comment about anything as everyone else. Don't like it? Go and cry in a corner.

As well as a PSN account :shock:

Oh the irony!

Hallelujah!

and vandal, what's your specs? Iheartrpgsalot

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="Iheartrpgsalot"] What the crap? You have no idea. A rig that could just max out farcry can barely even touch crysis. And crysis definately isnt the most demanding gameKillfox

I would love to see consoles emulate that game on High at 720p. ;)

[QUOTE="Killfox"][QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] Crysis is easily the most demanding game currently on the market. I have a fairly modest rig; 2 gigs ddr 2 ram, a 7900GS, and a pentium D945. From all accounts, this rig isn't all that. But it can run Crysis at high-medium settings at 35FPS constant.Aljosa23

[QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"] As markop2003 said, they are bottle necked by cheap graphics cards which was the case of my Acer, which had a 2.6Ghz Dual Core and 2GB of RAM. The processor is actually better than the one I have in my current gaming pc. Most PC shops don't sell dedicated gaming rigs, though, which is the point we're making. You said before that any modern PC could run games, which isn't the case. Of course gaming rigs will, as that's how they're advertised.Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="Killfox"] Most demanding game to this day is still company of heroes. Just look at benchmarks of this game. Its very suprising.Killfox

Aljosa23's first experience with an explosion = :shock:

I understand that. What my initial statement was is that because of this, it suffers. The graphics you see are of your most played games. Using a one off which pc gaming is huge on (fear was, HL was at the time, crysis, etc.) isn't a good judging factor. I don't know how else to put this: the best pc games suck graphically. Why should the best graphics be used to determine a platform? It should be the medium range/ most played games.

Iheartrpgsalot

When comparing platform capabilities console users don't throw their average titles at each other; they show the best their platform has to offer. Why is PC doing the same so wrong? Just because its hardware specification varies?

That would be discriminating against PC as a platform in favour of console only comparisons, you cannot exclude PC simply because it does things differently.

[QUOTE="markop2003"] Thing is most shops sell PCs not gaming rigs and the gaming rigs that are sold off the shelf are highly overpriced for no real reasonVandalvideo

That's actually very untrue, PCs are most popular in countries where the general populance can't afford consoles ie Russiamarkop2003

Yeah well I live in the US were console gaming is more popular. And piracy in other countries almost double outside of the US, nice little tid bit to add there. So And please explain how consoles are more expensive then PC gaming in other countries?

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="AirGuitarist87"] Aaah, the Fundamental Attribution Error, hard at work. :P People who buy PCs from shops don't base the gaming capabilities on it's specs, they base it on it's price. Can't blame them for thinking an expensive PC will be able to play games.AirGuitarist87

Yes it is a preference to be lazy and ignorant not to build your own when you can get much better gear for a cheaper price.millerlight89

Ok so people who don't like your hobbie with you, you put in a category to make yourself feel better or something, is this the only defense you have?

At least I can back it up ;) and anyone who goes to a store to purchase a gaming rig will at least be paying a $1,000.00 dollars it's simple. It's not things I pull out of the air :shock:

there many good reasons to prefer console to pc time is a good one pc is time consuming if you dont have that much time console is a good alternative . xbox live comunity is another good reason to play on console, if your friends are playing on live you want to play with your friends right ? we call them hermit for a reason. other good reason to play with console exclusive title, mgs4 killzone2 gt5 halo3 forza2 gear of war2 are very popular or will be exclusive title . and other good reason no fuc...ng drm with online identification or i dont have to create a new profile for every games etc etc etc. legol1

You don't even have to bother looking at the specs. If its a gaming rig, most of the gaming rigs have some kind of notation that will let you know as such. Something along the lines of; Great for playing games! Comes with two games! State of the art gaming tecnology! Atleast something to let you know. You can't buy a regular media rig and expect it to play anything. Its common consumer sense. If you don't know as much then you should be locked up for not being a conscientious consumer.Vandalvideo

Where does all this anger come from Vandal? :?

Yes, if you're looking for a gaming PC then those are the signs you look for. However, as it has already been said, gaming PCs are a rarity in shops because gamers build them themselves. If not they go through companies like Dell and lo and behold there are not only those dreaded specs again, but the unnecessary markup it a major turn off.

Saying "buying a media rig and expect it to play anything" is akin to blaming someone who buys a Squire Stratocaster who wants to sound like Meshuggah (LOL everyone knows you need an 8 string with EMGs in the bridge and neck). You can't point fingers at people who don't go into as much depth as you do.

I laugh at all the people who look forward to PC centric games like The Witcher or Dragon Age: Origins on console (just using these two as an example to prove a point). While BOTH of those games feature a built in SDK for limitless free expansions, you won't see ANY of that stuff on the 360 or PS3 versions. Not to mention the cheaper price of the games (the witcher by the time the console version comes out will be half the price as the console version, and dragon age will be 10 dollars less)

Also you clearly haven't heard of IRC or Ventrilo or even steam. I have no problems playing and voice chatting in games with my friends in Quake, Team Fortress, Unreal, or any other PC game I play. There is as much of a community on the PC as there is on the 360 or PS3. It may not be as Unified as the 360 (steam is as well unified when it comes to community structure as the 360, only difference is not EVERY game is steam compatible, chalk one up for the 360, barely... thats what you get for 50 dollars a year... a unified community)
