I still don't know what the hype's about. Just another shooter....The graphics aren't gonna revolutionize fps gaming...
and no I have never owned an xbox or the 360.
Master Chief could only bow before the greatness that is the Duke.
I also have a dx10 capable rig and own vista and xp. However I chose to stick it out with xp until windows 7 is released. I kept having problems with random bf2+vent crash to desktops that seem to go away when xp is installed. It handles fairly smoothly and responsively I'll give it that. However I don't feel as if I'm the one in control of the OS. Hard to explain really...
at least he didn't blame it on pc piracy...oh wait
best framrates for the money is what gamers are goin for now. Which was proven by hd4870 and the gtx280. the gtx280 while holding the performance crown was considered a failure against the hd4870 which was released at mid range/mid-high range price points. and for crossfire 2hd4850's provided the same performance of a gtx280 for almost half the price.
lol don't try and pull pc gamers into the pointless sales wars. It's meaningless. What we have here is Rockstar doing a very unoptimized port. plain and simple. Platforms have nothing to do with this. This is the result of simply not caring and trying to make an extra buck.
However in this case, pc gamers have enough sense not fall for it after they've seen the quality of rockstar in this port.
check out fallout 3 and nba2k 9 on max settings on the pc. Compare it t...
lol most pirates have crappy pc's. From what I've read about how un-optimized gta4 is. Most won't be able to play this game without making it look like crap.
I was about to buy this on steam, until I started reading about people with systems about the same as mine spec wise, not being able to play due to poor optimization. Also noticing steam customers were asking and actually getting their money back, pretty much assured I wouldn't be buying it soon.
The fact that ...
Wow....I won't lie...that's pretty hardcore
technical flaws have absolutely nothing to do with a console's stability.
Guess what!!!! console releases are becoming more and more like pc releases. Rushed games still full of bugs are released because of bad coding, un-optimized coding, un-tested coding. This is as common as it gets in the pc world. Game dev's WILL get your money first and fix it later. Well since it flopped I doubt they'll fix it.
It's funny, most of you guys aren't used to this concept and so ...
^^this, hits the nail on the head
I like the comments blaming 360 hardware for last remnant. Here's a thought...Maybe SE made a crappy game and no matter what platform it came out on...it would still be crappy.
and the microsoft bribed them comments made me chuckle.
huh? ffxi does just that. I play ffxi with ps2 users and 360 users along with pc users in the same server. This isn't new to SE. However I just hope the consoles can keep up with this one hardware limitation wise. It sucks being dragged down along and not given no "real" content because of ps2 limitations.
Im not a console gamer but even the pc gaming world has heard a joke involving the 360 and a Red ring. Even before I visited sites such as this.
this eyebrow has been raised at 360 winning best hardware. everything else i dont care about.
because the first one was soooooo great. I watched a 5 minute gameplay vid of the first one and it got repeitive at the 1 minute mark.
Though being a big mecha fan. I've played every mechwarrior release religiously. It would be nice to see the genre brought back to life.
fanboy of what exactly? I don't own a ps3. If you want to compare an fps when halo was released compare halo and battlefield 1942. Not only did 1942 offer more weapons. more vehicles. better game modes better maps. They were huge and capable of supporting 64 players. A first for its time. Tanks, bombers, fighters, jeeps, submarines, ships, all of these were controllable by the player.
Halo was influenced by the gaming shooters that were online shooters before the xbox was even re...
im sure best ps3 or 360 title was more meant for exclusives...
cod WaW is pretty much a cod4 clone with cheaper sounds and ww2 skins. Why should it be nominated? its sales only prove that console gamers will buy crappy sequels.
I've never played mgs4 so I won't comment on it. But you'd probably agree people bought it for the story and not the shooter features.
I lol'd at the comments that thought halo heavily influenced fps gaming.
Like i've said already the only gamers that continuously upgrade and the one's you describe are the ones that HAVE to play at max settings. The mainstream pc gaming market is not this way and a gaming system bought/built by one of these consumers will last around 4-5 years. I built my pc 2 years and I'm still playing games at max settings. For kicks I set every detail/view distance on fallout 3 to complete maximum. I was very very impressed when I found the game to be playable on my setup. of...
come again? i paid 600 for my wifes that play this game on max. you are underestimating the power of the 8800gt and hd3870 that are dirt cheap now, and still play these games at acceptable frame rates. You might argue it still costs more than a console but it also does 10x more than a console...
