Couldn't have put it better myself, shiftfallout. Games are designed on the pc. Hell, games started on the pc. Is better in every way than the consoles? No, definitely not. But as an ex-console only gamer, I can tell you that not being locked into buying a new console, accessories and games every 4/5 years just because previous tech was rendered obsolete. I have spent less on my pc then what I spent when I got my 360 at launch, and I couldn't be happier. Console gamers who get butthurt when they discover that the pc has slightly better graphics for the money need to try pc gaming for themselves. It really isn't as complicated has you may think it is. There are entire communities devoted to helping people get involved in this platform. Trust me, I was lost at first, but I did my homework, and I am having the most satisfying gaming experience of my gaming career! As for Arturin1987, you should go over to the gow2 forums or message boards on this website before Gears 2 came out. That's were you find the most hatred : )

@ Soulk: I totally agree. The people that think of wow when they hear Blizzard are the same idiots who just started playing video games in the past few years, These are the same casual gamers that have destroyed the console market, and are slowly killing off the PC as a gaming platform due to devs abandoning it (ie; Epic). I miss the good old days when gaming was far smaller, when devs actually cared about their customers, and when ignorant teenagers didn't flood the market by buying crap overrated games like Gears of War and Guitar Hero. Sadly, the gaming industry has gone the way of the music and movie industry: over saturated with crappy popular games.

I have a 9800 gtx, 2 gbs of 800 mhz ram, an AMDx2 cpu at 2.5 ghz, all on vista. The game runs great on very high@ 144x900
