Way to troll PC gaming. If certain drivers are finnicky, It takes 10 minutes tops, not even that, to revert back. Unless of course you're computer is too old, then the startup of your OS can be a pain.
Compatability issues? I think the only compatibility issues I've had with my modern card was running very old games, something consoles can't do. Again, maybe your computer's too old to run modern games.
Opyimization...
@ BattleAxe
Or it could be, you know, that PS3 fanboys claimed multiple times that Killzone 2 and UC2 were graphically better than PC Crysis. I think they're the ones making enemies here.
@ Death2494
Please, stop pulling this crap out of your ass. How do you know GG and ND would of made a better looking game on PC? Crysis is very different from UC and KZ, one of the main factors being that Crysis has very large environments. There are many other things that Crysis does that the other 2 don't but I'm not going to bother.
THQ topped Crysis with Metro 2033? In what way exactly? Metro is all corridor and Crysis is all large environments. O...
@ nycredude
Uncharted 2 has better textures than Crysis? Man what are you smoking?
And what's "all of those pc games" you speak of? Can you be more specific other than naming Crysis? It's funny how you criticize Crysis for having a couple of bad textures in the game when you don't even consider all the other things Crysis does that Uncharted doesn't. Oh and btw, Going through jungles, Crysis has far better textures.

@ cemelc
lol, so I counter someone's arguement and you come in here about your opinion on which game you like better. That really adds to the conversation about which has better graphics.
How is Crysis mediocre btw? I'd like to hear your opinion on it. I'll give you mine about KZ2. I enjoyed the game, but it wasn't anything special. I only played it because the graphics were very nice for consoles and was immersive.

Yes, let's forget that Crysis renders very large distances, which include trees, rocks, vehicles, soldiers, volumetric clouds etc...
Let's forget that Crysis has an immense amount of physics compared to killzone, go watch some youtube videos of it and you'll see amazing videos of it.
Let's forget Crysis in close range renders an immense amount of detail in the jungle, include the dynamic lighting that casts sh...
@ MeanOldMan
Emabarrased? Dude just stop, seriously, I don't even understand half the things you're saying, you're just typing jibberish.
Anyway, I don't think you've heard of the concept of an example. I stated mods as an example of community aspects, so I don't see how I'm wrong. If you feel so smart, then why don't you tell me the advantages of console communities vs pc communities, I'm not even gonna waste my time.
@ darkride
while my son happily plays with his megablocks in where I can keep an eye on him. I can see you're just plainly trying to downplay PC in your post. You do know Mouse and Keyboards are wireless too, so I don't know where this argument came from.

No, that's your opinion of gaming. Gaming to others can be about upgrading to play games in the best graphics. Gaming to others can just be playing their xbox 360 or ps3 ...

"oh the dudes one that thinmks console gamers dont have money"
Oh did I say that? The guy I replied to completely contradicts your statement.
"You go play your ME2 on your 2000$ computer. I'll enjoy playing a game DRM free on a 300$ console that will last me nearly 6 years. I'd love to see this on PC ;) *wink wink*"
This guy is implying that you have to be rich to own a PC, so yeah, th...
@ Morganfell
- I love the PC
- Too bad I have the option to use my TV as my monitor and play in 1080p, but why use a 1080p only TV when you can go even higher with monitors?
- Yeah because paying for a PC can cost a leg and an arm /s
- You can get a table to put you keyboard and mouse so you don't have to put in on your lap. Lol, you're a noob at installing 3rd part software.
- TV to PC = HD...
@ Kishin
lol, I've just spent a little over $500 to upgrade my computer and now it plays many of the recent games on max settings @ 1080p, something you wish your console could do.
Oh and yes I'll be playing ME2 that only cost me $15 with no taxes on Steam. How much did you pay? A whopping 60 bones plus tax? Ouch that must hurt.
They already have their reasoning for "no need for Blu-Ray".
- They don't want to include it to keep costs down.
- Games that look great on the 360 didn't need Blu-Ray, it was completely up to the hardware.
- Since excluding Blu-Ray keeps the cost down, they're hyping Digital Distribution for HD videos on the 360.
This is pretty much the best they can do to calm the flames.
Rage much?
I'm not a fan of MS's practices either, but I think you're exaggerating this a little too much. First of all, when MS said Blu-Ray isn't needed for gaming, they meant they didn't need it for the 360 this gen. It doesn't mean they're not going to include it in their next system. As Alpha pointed out, they're just trying to make their product look as good as possible.

Don't get me wrong, KZ3 looks amazing
But am I the only one getting sick and tired of seeing the word "Stunning" on N4G? Like it's used in every screenshot/video post.
I don't think the 6970 is supposed to be a dual GPU card. Since AMD apparently rebranded the number, the 6870 is the successor to the 5770 and the 6970 to the 5870. If there was a dual GPU card, it would probably end up being called a 6990.
Anyway, I've noticed some users on this site are just pure AMD or Nvidia fanboys (doesn't make sense to me). The fact is, both companies have made mistakes and both have made awesome cards, the competition is what pushes the ha...
It's amazing how you maintain 5 bubbles when most of the time you troll troll troll.
According to your logic, if Killzone 2 was such a great game, it would have also sold well in Japan. On top of that, Japan has what...over 5 million PS3s? How about the 360...like over 1 million? Damn it would be pretty funny if Halo Reach outsold KZ2 in Japan.
Don't get me wrong people, I enjoyed KZ2 myself, I'm just pointing out that vhero's troll attempt is...
There are so many cutscenes to choose from.
Mass Effect's Citadel battle is one of my favourite.

"Halo only deserves a spot on that list because of how it helped to make online multiplayer mainstream."
lol, ok there buddy, people like you can't appreciate what Halo 3 has done because you simply just hate it. The reason why Halo 3 is still played to this day is because how feature packed it and you have so many custom options, oh yeah and you have forge. Please name me a game where it has so much stuff, no glitches and balanced at the same time.
Fable 2 and Forza 3 sold 4 million and 3 million respectively. It seems like PS3 gamers also buy shooters. The PS3 sales of MW2 completely destroy every other PS3 exclusive. A lot of the PS3 exclusives that heavily involve shooting surely enjoy the sales as well. The only ones that are the exception are MGS4 and GOW3, then again, they are well established.
@ inveni0
Sorry, but your claim of the PS3 being better than 90% of gaming PCs is quite ridiculous. There was an article last year about AMD selling around 6 million of the ATI 5000 series in the first quarter of 2010, that's roughly 3 months.
Now that's just the 5000 series cards, which means that the figure doesn't include all the nVidia cards and the other ATI cards such as the top end 4000 series cards. Plus there are the new waves of GPUs tha...
