Who else experiences this?

After playing PC and games at high res (1920x1200) and top graphics i find it hard to play 95% of console games, excluding the few like Killzone 2, Gears 2, etc.

Example: I was replaying Crysis for a while, and a day later i played GTA4 on PS3 and it just seemed painful to play, the slow down in FPS when things blew up, the low res textures,like NO AA.

Anyone else experience this?

Hmmm depends on the game. I remember at one point I went back to Uncharted and was pretty "meh", but after I took a break from PC gaming for a couple weeks, it went back up to "excellent".

Stop thinking graphics makes a game playable, because clearly it doesn't.

As someone who doesn't really care about graphics (I still find myself more than capable of giving games like System Shock 2 nice run-throughs), I can say that I have yet to experience the feeling of which you speak.thepwninator

The FPS is what kills me this gen. Its not as noticeable in the PS2 games I play but if I pop in LBP after playing something that was running at 50+ FPS on my rig it bothers me.

frame rates does, but in your top post you were talking about resolutions and textures. Personally I'd rather play a well-optimized game at no slowdown at the cost of pretty effects rather than one that doesn't. Years of both PC and console gaming have given me this mentality lol.

In my opinion, some games (like action adventure) play better on a console than a PC, so no, the graphics don't have that much of an effect on me, not like you were describing.snow-cones

No, and I hope I never do. Honestly.SpruceCaboose

PC gaming has kind of spoiled me. But I'll still play bad looking games as long as their fun. Most console games I go, "Boy, these graphics could be so much better if it were on PC..." I can still enjoy a number of them though. :P

but in very few instances has it actually degraded a game for me, from the Intellivision on up for me.SpruceCaboose

you're such a graphics whore intellivision pfft is the odyssey not good enough for you? :P

the odyssey

i play any game, and unless the game is completely broken, occasional slow down doesn't bother me.

well i'm only 20 so i haven't played the intellivision so i'm more of a graphics whore then you, i started on the snes when my brother got it. The odyssey just looks plain bad though, i doubt anybody would like it.

Not at all. For example, I've been playing Crysis: Warhead and then Persona 4 and it doesn't bother me.

I don't even find it hard to play my old Xbox on my old 25" standard def TV.

I mean I love high resolution monitors and great graphics, but it doesn't bother me going back and playing old games or games on the 360. I think my HDTV and my 360 are a great pairing. All of the games look really good. It only gets me upset when a game this gen looks like it should have come out last gen.

I have no problem with it, maybe because i don't play PC games with those high settings, both my monitor and computer cant output those settings:P

i never experienced that, i was just playing crysis on 1440x900 and it does look very very good, but i dont look at other games any different

No, and I hope to all the gods I never, ever get that sort of mindset. To be totally bound by visuals is to be a tool.

Well, I sure wouldn't buy GTA twice, OR buy it on the PS3.

I also just wouldn't buy GTA in general since that series is so boring.

I don't like slowdown, but all the times I've ever experienced it it's never been the end of the world. Sometimes it adds to gameplay sort of like some slow motion type of thing :P

But no. Only real time I've ever experienced slowdown that made a game unplayable has been on my computer. Not on consoles....yet.

Nah, I'm alright as long as I'm not too close to my TV. Don't get me wrong, I'd still kill for decent MSAA and AF in console games...but I can survive without it.

[QUOTE="Mckenna1845"]

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] My family had the Intellivision. Since I was born in 84, I did not have much say in what systems I played until about 1994 (10 years old or so when I would walk to Funcoland with my allowance) or so. Before that, it was what my parents or brothers played.

For games that push the console, I could say GTAIV and MGS4 are examples and their performance doesn't bother me at all. If that's the main issue (although that's not what your original post indicated), I would say that there are far more than 5% of console games that work well for the console.

So you only care about graphics.Gotcha.

I, on the other hand, can enjoy a good game regardless of how it looks.

Well, that's not a fair comparison, try playing GTA4 on your PC at 1920x1200 at 60fps, really a PC that can do that would cost at least $800 to someone who's not an expert at building PC's. And that goes double for crysis
