In an alternate universe where everything is backwards.
Only because my graphics card from 2 years ago runs circles around the consoles.
Reading the article helps.
3D in games is the same as 3D in movies, it will not make a bad game better. The article also brings up a valid point, HD adoption only just started to spike in 2007-2008 and only then started to get into respectable market share. Are those people who just forked out for a new HDTV really going to be running to Best Buy for a 3DTV? Of course if it's a standard feature the market share will increase as people naturally need to replace their tv but not at the rate I think some of you think....
He get a solid gold case? 3300 dollars is a massive waste, tell your friend to do some research next time.
It only really does everything.
I got my girlfriend into gaming just by asking her if she wanted to play, if they are even a tiny bit interested they will play. It can be frustrating sometimes when you try to help, but don't let it show and just be clear with your instructions. Now she is wrist deep in MGS4(she finished MGS1,2,3) and she's at a point now where she almost gets a positive KDR pubbing on the PC.
If they want to play, they'll play.
Not everyone's pc back in 2004.
Ugh are people really still buying CoD4 annually?
You don't need a 2000 dollar desktop to run games faster then the PS3 and laptops are not made for games...how many times must this be said?
Understanding install bases for the win.
If Pachters "only 10% of all the PC's in the world are faster then a PS3" then there are far more Gaming PC's then PS3. Also you should know that the brunt of the PC community does not visit this place, for you to even think you have an accurate picture of the pc community then you are an ignorant ignorant person.
When we see PC writers and columnists writing shitty articles like this on a weekly basi...
My friend with 8800 GTS (SLi) installed in his computer are still running games on the highest settings at 1680*1050 with AA (In most cases Crysis and GTAIV being the exception). This PC is over 3 years old now and he has pumped 0 dollars into it. Hmmm something doesn't add up.
The article isn't well written at all and the points are weak. Don't have Shader model 4.0? How old is your graphics card? Put very simply, you don't expect your PS2 to play GoD of War ...
Online gaming isn't the issue, you make a choice to play WoW instead of go to class or call in sick because you want to move up the SC2 ladder. It's people with mixed up priorities, and removing online games isn't going to make the problem go away.
Next someone in here is going to say addiction is a disease.
Not a bad deal, but who is looking to play FF13 on the 360? Also working4games do not speak for all pc players, the Xbox isn't a ripoff if it has games that you want to play.
System requirements and having a basic understanding of your own hardware in your computer pretty well alleviates all of your concerns. Also just because a new piece of hardware is released does not mean that it will be required to play a new game, especially in the last console generation with the large number of multiplats and the games being hamstrung by console hardware.
Most dual cores with 2-4gb of ram and a video card from within the last 2-3 years (That was intended f...
I find it very funny that some of you think console games running at 720P would be an issue for most decently spec'd PC's...classic.
This whole dynamic for me is kinda fun though, I've always been a console and a PC gamer. It always made my life easier, and in a lot of ways still does. My point is, my PC is faster then any console and I run all my games at a higher framerate and higher resolution with the added benefit of choosing between controller (Got my DS3 wo...
I know how to pirate, yet I have almost 100 games on my Steam as well as my shelf of hard copies from before Digital Distribution. Your blanket statements are incorrect, more money was made on the PC and it does not get the credit it deserves.
It's hard for people to come to their own conclusions on things when a corporate mouthpiece isn't telling them to like something. On a side note, I find it hilarious how you tried to downplay how regions where the game is not re...
The meta score is totally representative of the fun you'll have with a game, I mean how could a number attached to a title not clearly represent how much enjoyment YOU will get from a game? I beat Uncharted 2 then traded it in, the multiplayer wasn't for me I still prefer SOCOM for my MP Third person shooting.
Yet...Uncharted 2 has a higher meta score then SOCOM, how could this be!? I know people who don't pay attention to reviews or any gaming related websites w...
Native native native, very few console games are NATIVE 1080P. Upscaled 720P is not 1080P and even games like Wipeout HD Do not run in 1080P the whole time.

Enjoy what you have and don't worry about what your neighbor is doing.
I feel like I'm stuck in Bizarro land, like I'm the only one who remembers the glitched out messes that SOCOM 1-3 were, or the fact that MAG is super content light. The aiming just looks like a Wii shooter, where in 20 minutes you're going to plug in a controller anyways.
No one has listed specifically whats so great about these new SOCOM 4 video's is it the cover system that really wasn't needed in SOCOM? The AWFUL weapon sounds? Is it the awful AI (from ...
