The difference between PC gaming and console gaming.

A console gamer buys a game,loads it up and starts playing.Bingo.:)

A PC gamer buys a game,loads it up and starts playing with the errr settings of the game:lol: .Then he forgets something,closes the game,runs fraps and then loads the game up again.Then he starts the game forgeting about the actual start of the game and just concentrates on the yellow letters showing the fps.Then he tries to tinker with the settings seeing as what affects what.Then he thinks that he has found the setings so he starts the game in seriousness only to realize after 30 min that the first level was not as demanding and he overestimated his PC so dang let's play with the settings again.Well now he thinks he has to tinker with the nvidia control panel to get the best performance.

Oh dear god PC gaming is just incredibly sad.:cry:

:lol:

so true.

sadly, this is somewhat true.

Games really should include a test level to play. Put some things that are more intense. It would really be nice. I dont pc game anymore, but this is truly what I use to do. Now when I game on the pc, I dont realy care. I run games on whatever the auto settings are. Im a medium warrior for most games I want to play

Most games now a days check your systems setting before even playing it sets it what thinks will perform best on you hardware. So that just about makes this hold thread fail. Oh hey how bout you go play with some mods. Oh wait you cant. Too bad. While your playing a game once I can play it again with mods and have a completely different experience than the first time.

My buddy bought DMC 4 for ps3 the other day and had to wait for a 20 minute install. In addition to the 20 minutes it took to download + install a firmware update

My other buddy had his 360 for 4 weeks before it RROD'd and died on him

I'll keep playing with my settings, thanks ;)

Yet again I have to deal with the complete ignorant people ASSuming things again. I in no way siad that. What I am saying is that sure you can play it more than once but once your done playing through it becomes a little boring. So what do I do. I download mods like the faiakes mod for STALKER which completely changes the game. Thus I am enjoying my game a lot more than you.

I just bought need for speed prostreet.When i loaded the game guess what was giving low settings in 640x480.The game needless to say looks terrible but runs a charm but when i put all settings to max it doesnt run very well.So WTF am i supposed to do.The game had no optimal settings.It just gives you the lowest possible settings and then well what do we do then?:roll:

Sorry man but PC gaming is just sad until this horrible flaw is fixed.

You over exaggerating the problem beyond belief. Like I just bought bioshock alittle while ago. It took my like a minute to figure out what settings I wanted and I was done and reasy to play. Also we install games to have faster load times just like the PS3 is starting to do. Stop complaining about installing. It takes me like 5 minutes to install a game.

And why are you acting like console games dont have different difficulty setting and whanot halo 3 is a perfect example of how you can trun off and on skulls to change up your experience in SP. Bungie created forge (a type of mod program) so people can make whatever they want in MP and share it with there friends. :roll:

So Idk what your talking about

I think the whole rrod thing is big facricated lie, I have 11 buddies who all own a 360 and myself and never experienced this not once and everyone has had theirs since launch, plus I know a bunch of people on live who never had this problem

hmmmm

Half-Life 2 does?

Who are YOU trying to kid, Half-Life 2 automatically puts everything on high, the only thing NOT maxxed is the AA/FSAA ... which optional by user preferance.

That and full world reflect?

Takes 2 seconds ... what on earth is your point exactly?

You can set your graphic card to Force FSAA/AA to a certain level anyway so your point is still moot.

Most games now a days check your systems setting before even playing it sets it what thinks will perform best on you hardware.

Killfox

And autodetectors still don't capture every setting on your system - for example, you have to set resolution in every single game. Your system already knows what resolution your monitor is; you selected it to run Windows!

Please point me to where I said "a game without mods has 0 replayability." Thats right I didnt.

I dont even own crysis. Ive been waiting to get a new GFX card sine I hate my 7950GX2 which I got for free. Im waiting to see how these nvidia cards handle games like crysis. Im in no rush to get a new graphics card though since I can play almost all other games on max.

I never said Console mods were better then PC mods I said developers put programs into there console games that extend the replayability which you think us console gamers can only play once :roll:

I have a 8800 GTS 640 MB, Q6600 2.4 , 3GB 800 RAM.

I saw the lag, I turned down Shadoes to medium (not low, which seems to be "off" ) , removed AA.

Played the game the entire way through. 1650 x 1050 ..

Oh and Volemetric Clouds... seeing as you barely look up at the sky, only time this was good was the Aerial Combat mission.

If the final game is anything the demo. It only took my about 5 minutes to figure my optimal settings for the game. I initially put everything to max at 1680 by 1050 since that the native resolution for my monitor. Then I worked my way backwards. Well I had FRAPS on to. I turned down my resolution. I just found what setting took away the most FPS and turned those down and kept the other ones at high that didnt really effect the FPS.

sorry that's just your assumption. it took me few 5-10 minutes to read what the properties in config files do and few more minutes to modify those. that's all. if it took you two days i feel sorry for you.

also for people who don't like changing config entries, an easier option would have been get a pre-made config file.

also on pcs with so many options i can choose my optimum fps /resolution/graphics quality etc combination . how much of that is on consoles? for me not having this option is sad

Agreed. Mass effect. It dropped to as low as like 5 FPS at times. I would rather turn down a few things than have it slow down that much.

I mean seriously are you kidding me?So you played crysis for the first time ever and it took you just 5 min to know what settings you are going to play?I have an 8800GTX.I obviously just like anyother 8800 owner initially loaded the game with very high settings and well it was pathetic.Then i auto detected the settings and it still ran poorly.LOL

sorry that's just your assumption. it took me few 5-10 minutes to read what the properties in config files do and few more minutes to modify those. that's all. if it took you two days i feel sorry for you.

also for people who don't like changing config entries, an easier would have been get a pre-made config file.

also on pcs with so many options i can choose my optimum fps /resolution/graphics quality etc combination . how much of that is on consoles? for me not having this option is sad

Agreed. Mass effect. It dropped to as low as like 5 FPS at times. I would rather turn down a few things than have it slow down that much.

I dont have a problem with installing games AT ALL.

And how much time did it take you to figure out the settings in crysis.It took me 2 days.

A console gamer buys a game,loads it up and starts playing.Bingo.:)

A PC gamer buys a game,loads it up and starts playing with the errr settings of the game:lol: .Then he forgets something,closes the game,runs fraps and then loads the game up again.Then he starts the game forgeting about the actual start of the game and just concentrates on the yellow letters showing the fps.Then he tries to tinker with the settings seeing as what affects what.Then he thinks that he has found the setings so he starts the game in seriousness only to realize after 30 min that the first level was not as demanding and he overestimated his PC so dang let's play with the settings again.Well now he thinks he has to tinker with the nvidia control panel to get the best performance.

Oh dear god PC gaming is just incredibly sad.:cry:

Most games now a days check your systems setting before even playing it sets it what thinks will perform best on you hardware. So that just about makes this hold thread fail. Oh hey how bout you go play with some mods. Oh wait you cant. Too bad. While your playing a game once I can play it again with mods and have a completely different experience than the first time.

They all work really bad.

apart from describing the typical day of a retard (or kid) trying to be a PC gamer, i dont see how all of that is accurate. I mean, all the AAA PC games of 2007 have been plug and play for me, granted i get the choice of fooling around with the settings if i want to (what, you dont like choice, or freedom?). If you cant figure out that your computer doesnt meet the min-spec of a game, sorry but you need to go back to school and learn how to read, because as far as I know, the spec-list on the box or on retail websites is clear enough to read. At least for edumacated peeplz.

the only game that gave me trouble in 2007 was Gears of War for PC, partly because CliffyB forgot how to make games for PCs now and doesnt care anyway, so I dont care about any Epic game from now on. The other part is microsoft being stupid with their buggy and facepalm-ridden Games for Windows initiative that hinders PC gaming and its progress, instead of helping it grow.
