"The way it's meant to be played"

TheBlackSmoke6100d ago

.. what, hunched over a desk looking at acomputer monitor with your batman figurine standing on top of it? lol

jkhan6100d ago

I have a 46" LCD TV connected to my PC via HDMI & I sit on the sofa and play, just like everyone else. LOL @ Console fanboys.

TheBlackSmoke6100d ago

^^^^^^Yeah because thats obviously the typical setup for pc gamers /sarcasm.

Anecdotal evidence dont fly in a debate my friend.

You know and i know the majority of pc gamers are playing sat at a desk looking at a pc monitor.

Im not getting any less of an experience playing batman on my 47
inch tv with 7.1 sound.

Syronicus6099d ago

But I sit on a 260 dollar reclining leather corporate office chair and have a 24 inch monitor and a gaming rig full of the latest and greatest goodies. PC people are not all like the stereotypical PC nerds you see on the web... We like comfort to.

As for Batman: AA, I am glad I am waiting for the PC version as it looks sick as heck.

How exactly do you take screenshots of "physics"? XD

Poopface the 2nd6100d ago

its something you can use in PC games if you have an Nvidia GPU. Its pretty much just extra effects, like steam or extra debris flying around.

bednet6100d ago

Actually it's PhysX with an "X" and no "i". It's physics calculations done on the GPU instead of the CPU...which is much faster at calculating than a CPU and therefore permits extra effects that would bog down the CPU.

TheBlackSmoke6100d ago

In before, "teh pc haz superior graphics"

No sh!t sherlock, comparing something with set hardware to something with unlimited potential. gooooood for youuuuuuuuuu

TheBlackSmoke6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

Im not bitter at all. I just find it to be the most insecure, and captain obvious thing to say. Its like saying your the best at fighting...in a room with you and a bunch of 10 year olds.

neogeo6100d ago

I have a gaming laptop with a 12 foot HDMI. I lay in bed with a 360 pc controller while the game runs beyond 1080p with everything maxed out and no loading screens.

Thats hows its meant to be played!

I spent $700 on the laptop and all my games are FREE. every 5 games I download for FREE is about of the price of a new PS3. So us PC gamers save tons of money. and get better graphics.

eat that

bednet6100d ago

Dude, don't use pirating as a good reason to game on the PC, it makes all of us PC gamers look bad even though most of us do pay for our games, it's just bad for PC gaming.

TheBlackSmoke6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

wow you have a 47 inch laptop..impressive.

Seriously i cant stand you silly nerds who think your so cool because you know how to game for free. It dont take a genius to STEAL games from a torrent site.

I will stick to buying my games and supporting my hobby and the industry. You have shown your age with your comments. grow up THIEF.

Noctis Aftermath6100d ago

For some reason when you say "i lay in bed with a 360 pc controller" it sounds disturbing, aswell as gives me an even more disturbing image of Fat bastard from austin powers stuffing his face naked in bed whilst rubbing a oil covered 360 controller over his body.

Oh yeah that's right i just made you picture something you didn't want to see.

Poopface the 2nd6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

he doesnt even realize that you can hook up your PC to a tv just like his precious ps3.

I dont condone stealing games either, but seeing crying ps3 fanboys makes me laugh.

HAh its funny he calls people nerds, when hes the sad one who is sooo attached to the ps3. Hate to break it to you buddy, only desperate nerds cry over people playing games on systems other than the one they worship.

aGameDeveloper6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

I take it the 12 ft HDMI cable is hooked into a large screen TV or projector. If you can afford a TV that somehow display "Beyond 1080p", surely you can afford to pay for your games?

According to an article written Feb 2009 at http://www.hdtvetc.com/educ...

"Higher Resolutions: Resolutions beyond 1080p are available in the high-end projector realm; companies like Sony and JVC offer projectors with a resolution of 4,096 x 2,160. As for TVs, we've seen many demos at trade shows of HDTVs with higher resolutions, such as 1440p and 2160p. These currently suit applications in the commercial realm, but have yet to materialize as real-world consumer products."

Naturally, I'm not saying that you won't see a BETTER image AT 1080p on a PC than on a console, due to better anti-aliasing, rendering at the native resolution (very few console games actually render at any 1080 resolution, let alone at the high fps a good PC is capable of), more effects, etc.

"haha this smoke guy is such a noob
he doesnt even realize that you can hook up your PC to a tv just like his precious ps3."

> Facepalm.jpg <

You can also stab yourself in the eye or have sex with a sheep...but it dont mean that you actually do it (well you might). Of course you can hook a pc up to a TV you moron, the point is the MAJORITY do not. People using personal experiences to generalize the majority are retarded.

Im not being a ps3 fanboy at all. I never once said the ps3 experience is superior just that its not inferior. I played through the game and absolutely loved it. Just because you Pc fanboys get hard ons from higher resolutions that does not translate as console owners are not playing it the way its meant to be played. Rocksteady made the game, they decide how its meant to played not you.

1 bubble left son, make it good.

Poopface the 2nd6100d ago

that is the nvidia slogan. you attacked the guy because he said that. In reality he was probably dissing ATI.

Im not a pc fanboy at all. I have a PS3, 360 and a PC. My PC isnt capable of producing the visuals of the ps3 or 360.

Its funny how you came into the comments all defensive and attacking PC gaming. Why? could it be that you are a raging PS3 fanboy, just like Van halen down there. I just think its funny that you attack the PC gamers and try to make it out like they have no choice but to play their games on a tiny monitor. In reality its just as easy to hook up your PC to a HD tv as it is for a ps3. Also with pc you can have a higher resolution, AA, better FPS, better textures, basically better everything.

It seems to me like your attacking people because you feel that the first guy was dissing your playing experience. He wasnt, but that didnt stop you from trying to make fun of not only PC gaming, but PC gamers. YOur just upset because some people can play the same game as you but with MUCH better grafix. When you heard what you thought was a jab at console gaming you lashed out against PC gaming.

Pandamobile6100d ago

I wasn't dissing ATI. I love ATI.

The Way It's Meant To Be Played has kind of become the unofficial slogan for PC gaming.

Don't listen to TheBlackSmoke, he's a jealous tool.

looks like somebodies stuck with fixed hardware.

Also has to pay high prices for inferior games lol.

TheBlackSmoke6100d ago

Or maybe i dont want to spend my life playing counterstrike and the sims.

LOl hardcore pc gamers are the cheapest people on earth. you buy like 1 game every 5 years and feel your entitled to have it constantly supported.

I game on my PS3 out of CHOICE not because i cant afford a gaming pc, get over yourself.

Why dont you go back to installing some drivers.

Poopface the 2nd6100d ago

this guy is so in love with the ps3 he wants to attack everybody. Funny you mention installing when you like to game on PS3. the only console ever with mandatory installs. LOL.

you tell the guy up there that your not upset about it but you brought it up with your first comment. Id like to know how its "insecure" to state the fact that PCs will always have more potential than consoles.

Is it the "most captian obvious" statement to say your a raging ps3 fanboy.

dustgavin6100d ago (Edited 6100d ago )

Considering that many people rate Ps3 exclusives against top PC games goes to show just how powerful the console is.
