Nope, the "best" games are subjective.... most of the "best" games that are on consoles are also on Pc.

I think gamers shouldn't be divided by what platform they own, only by how ignorant and arrogant they are. Which Gamespot has done quite nicely, give them their own board.

Trolls trolling other trolls in troll-land boards? I'd pay to see that.

So because a pickup truck can do more, does that make it better than a muscle car?

Depends on the pickup. An f150? no.

An srt-10? yes.

Doesn't that also depend on the muscle car, then? For the kind of money a Ram SRT would have cost, you could have bought a Cobra. I'd take a GT 500 over a hopped-up manure hauler any day.

I just want a pure-bred fun car to drive. My ideal car would be a Lotus Elise, but I'm about fifteen grand too short, and four inches too tall.

Well don't buy a truck then, and certainly don't buy an srt-10.

That would be silly, spending all that money on something you know you wouldn't like.

I can agree with this. On today's consoles I still get everything I loved about PC gaming, without a lot of what I hated.

I have no need to haul cargo, or even more than one extra person. What would I do with a pickup truck that I can't do with my Mustang, or even my wife's Mini?

On those occasions where I might need to, there's always the option of renting one. That said, you'd be surprised how much landscaping material fits in a Mini Cooper. I'm getting by just fine without a truck.

If I recall correctly, you asked, and were answered, in a previous thread. I would have preferred to withhold specs until the sucker agreed to make the donation, but since I don't have a lot of faith in him returning, let alone manning up, here they are again:

  • Corsair Obsidian 650D
  • Corsair AX850
  • Core i7-2600
  • EVGA Z68 SLI
  • 2x EVGA GTX 560 2GB
  • Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600C8
  • 2x Corsair Force 3 60GB (RAID 0)
  • Seagate 2TB HDD
  • Creative Recon3D PCIe
  • Corsair SP2500
  • Corsair Obsidian 650D
  • Corsair AX850
  • Corsair H60
  • Razer Blackwidow keyboard
  • Razer Imperator 2012 mouse
  • 3x ASUS 22" LED-LCD
  • Ergotech triple monitor stand
  • Win7 Home Premium x64
  • Minimal software loaded - Chrome, Steam, Origin, MSE

Edit: ah, yes, here was the thread in question:

Where do you people get the idea that I hate the PC? I make my living off of the platform. BTW, still waiting for ironclad proof of my level of technical competency. You must have had some, right?

[QUOTE="lowe0"]

I own a gaming PC.

List them specs.

If I recall correctly, you asked, and were answered, in a previous thread. I would have preferred to withhold specs until the sucker agreed to make the donation, but since I don't have a lot of faith in him returning, let alone manning up, here they are again:

  • Corsair Obsidian 650D
  • Corsair AX850
  • Core i7-2600
  • EVGA Z68 SLI
  • 2x EVGA GTX 560 2GB
  • Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600C8
  • 2x Corsair Force 3 60GB (RAID 0)
  • Seagate 2TB HDD
  • Creative Recon3D PCIe
  • Corsair SP2500
  • Corsair Obsidian 650D
  • Corsair AX850
  • Corsair H60
  • Razer Blackwidow keyboard
  • Razer Imperator 2012 mouse
  • 3x ASUS 22" LED-LCD
  • Ergotech triple monitor stand
  • Win7 Home Premium x64
  • Minimal software loaded - Chrome, Steam, Origin, MSE

Edit: ah, yes, here was the thread in question:

Oh, I forgot all about that...also, nice rig, better than mine.

It's not bad. And yet, it supposedly doesn't exist... still waiting for that guy to come back and back up his accusation.

[QUOTE="lowe0"] Where do you people get the idea that I hate the PC? I make my living off of the platform. BTW, still waiting for ironclad proof of my level of technical competency. You must have had some, right?

What sort of job do you have that requires 2x GTX 580s? Why spent so much money on expensive Razor items? Why buy 3 monitors and purchase a mounting device for them? That kind of setup is more for gaming especially with the GTX 580s instead of a normal workstation card. I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of that setup. Just wondering how it looks altogether. And it's obvious that you constantly bash PC gaming. Whenever someone on the PC side says something against consoles you are replying back but if someone says something against PC you are silent or encourage it. It's quite ironic.

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Cos consoles are awesome, always have been always will be. Lots of people f*cking despise PC gaming, I am one of them. Note I say "pc gaming" not "pc games". I love PC games :D I just rather play them on my consoles. Here's looking at you, Deus Ex and Half Life on PS2 :DAm_Confucius
Why would you want to play it with worse controls and less customization?

I hate mouse and keyboard for gaming. Dual Analogue is comfier and easier for me. Don't care bout customisation, game is good enough to stand by itself.

What baffles me I could of sworn he has posted different specs before, alot more humble than this.

What is also weird is that he puts an H60 in the list for cooling when that is low end for water cooling and there are much better alternatives for even air cooling. I would expect him to get an H100 instead if he was a Corsair fan which seems right since most of his hardware is from that brand. Also 850w is kind of cutting it close with his setup. It enough to power it all but most people with that kind of setup would prefer a higher watt PSU. Especially if they do any overclocking. PSUs degrade over time and their efficiency lowers. Having more wattage than needed is often good because of this and also it will run cooler. I myself use a 700W power supply just for one GTX 570 and an i5 2500k. Here is my computer. I tried to go for good use of space and cooling without breaking the bank.

560s (actually, 560 Tis), not 580s. 850W makes a lot more sense. As for my job, I'm a software developer. I said I make my money off the platform, not that specific machine. And finally, as for my specs changing, I'm amused - if my machine wasn't up to date, I'd get mocked for that instead.

Oopps sorry I misread that. For some reason I saw GTX 580s. Why would you spend so much money on devices meant for gaming if you do not really like to game on PC though? A software developer shouldn't need such things. What kind of software do you work with? And I don't think you would be mocked for what hardware you have. I still use my older computers that use a GTX 275, 8800gt and 6800gt. My even older builds like the Geforce Ultra 2, Voodoo 2 and ATI Rage are not used anymore but still run fine. You may be mocked on your build if you bragged about it being the best but I do not think you are that type.
