If you have a PC maybe you know what I mean. Graphic cards are fundamental to enjoy them at best, but with all this new technologies you see how new games rush to have better graphics, performances, visual effects and other. Of course this are a basic of competition and makes the whole market go on. There is just one big problem, the gamer. Some of us can afford to change the graphic card every year, or even the whole computer, but many cannot. Some of us wait and wait to buy a new one, and in the mean time there are lots of games that you would like to play but you just can't, you search desperately when that new graphic card will be more affordable, and when you finally buy it, you buy an old one, and this cycle goes on and on and never finishes. We, PC gamers, tell that we have the best systems, because of the mods, settings, and lots more things, and sincerely I am one of them and I'm not thinking minimally of buying a TV console. But we have this huge flaw, the hardware; meanwhile the console gamers can enjoy their console for years without changing it a bit, we struggle in the same years to have a good processor, a better graphic card, a less noisy or more efficient cooler system, we not only spend money on games but much of it goes on our upgrades. I know that consoles have also upgrades, but just for example gears of war 2 will run fluently on every type of Xbox 360, but X³: Terran Conflict will not run properly on high settings on everybody's PC, and you know how painful it can by playing a game on low graphics settings.
So what I want to say to the game industry is just to slow down a bit, I really like how graphics look today, and I do not need to be astonished every week with a new graphic enchantment.
To all the people that have the same problem I wish them to find their money or the way to upgrade their system and play their long dreamed games.
And I know that I will buy a new-old graphic card and play with great satisfaction X3 reunion at maximum detail level, but for now I will listen Patience of Guns 'n' Roses.
Good luck to everyone.
