I hate 30 fps on ANY games *cough*consoles*cough*



Not all 360 games run at 30 fps. Ever play Kameo or the new Demo of Just Cause? smooth as silk without a hitch. Definently more than 30fps, Feels like 50-60 FPS.

ehh


the only way i will get a 360 is if i have a Gaint HDTV screen, like a 62 incher

I'm happy with my smaller 22" monitor with it's huge increase of resolution... maybe one day I'll get a 30" monitor and play games in XHD on computer... you know 2560 x 1600 pixels. Much better than any HDTV

LOL I hear ya man! wish I had one too! Im just content being able to play it on my 19" LCD 8)

$4000!!!!!!!!!!! Are you nuts. I built my rig about 3 years ago. Spent about $500 on it and I can still play all of the games out. Not at full graphics of course but still playable at more that 30 fps on medium settings.

I get almost all of my games for FREE using the INTERNET or get a copy from a friend. How many games do you have? Put that with your $700 for your console and see what the total is then. If I had to pay $60 for each game I own I would go way over the $4000 mark that you put for pc's.

I bet you often sit on your console chatting away on the forums. If you have to look at the big picture, you can do way more with a $700 PC than your silly console.

The only reason that they don't make games like FF, GT, Mortal Combat, etc. for the PC is so that people will actually still buy consoles. I love FF. Finished from 6 - X-2. Being the way that I am, I still wouldn't buy a console just to play the newer ones. I'll wait a couple of years and EMULATE. Can your xbox play playstation games? I bet not. I can play all 3!!!

Why can't you just admit that your fighting a losing battle???

Just my 2 cents...

On average I'll dump a minimum of $500 into an upgrade cycle per year, sometimes a grand... Does that make you proud saying that you steal games off the internet? Do you feel that it's ok to steal simply because you have the power to, and that because everyone else is? Grow up son, even if you do pirate games off the internet then keep that shit to yourself...

Emulation is just rediculous... Anything that interupts or limits the way a game is meant to be played just kills me... An FPS on a 19" screen is fine... But when I play games like FF I want to be completely submersed into my game, and I find that tough unless it's on a 52" screen... Emulation will never really supplement gaming especially on these next gen consoles for years... I want my PS3 now...

I'm not concerned about doing "way more" with my console, I just want to play games on it...

All I am truly saying, is that the gaming experience on a console is just as rich and submersive as it is on a PC, regardless the cost.

I am actually surprised.
I expect at least the 360/PS3 to be DX10 quality.
Got to wait another 5 years for the next gen consoles.
Oh well.

Hmmm.....

I own both a 360 and a high end PC and really would not want to do without either. Honestly both kick butt! anyone take a look at gears of war coming out for the 360? pretty awsome. 8) Besides Crysis I dont think I have ever seen a game look so good.

PC-

X2 4800@2.7ghz
X1900XT
2gigs ddr 400 mem

Gears of War for the 360











Well the 360 at least can do some DX10 features but it does not have all the full functions and features that a true DX10 video card will bring to computers.

399.99 if you want somthing with a harddrive. One thing i love about PCs is that I can salvage parts from older comps (Harddrives, optical drives) so that I save money.... you can't do that with a console.

Because you know, PC gamers who stick to PC games... don't have friends with consoles... and don't play said console when at their friends house.

I just don't like consoles... it's the easy way out, it's quick and too easy to get into. It lacks the depth of custom controls and ruins perfectly good pc games. Halo was an amazing piece of work until it got picked up by Microsoft. When it got picked up... they trimmed it down, changed the game and released it to a fps virgin market.

Consoles are fine... I just wouldn't describe them as the ultimate gaming machine, like so many people who own them do.

You're coming off very narrow-minded Nate. You are truly missing out on some of the greatest games of all time if you neglect your console bretheren. We are talking about games ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR CONSOLES, not ports which you seem to be focused on.

Imo, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the nintendo 64 is the best video game ever made to date. Furthermore, Goldeneye 007 was probably the most fun you and 3 friends could have with video games at the time. It was revolutionary.

You talk as if PCs and consoles are mutually exclusive. If you're so rich, what's stopping you from buying both? Hell, you could buy every console in existence along with their 10 best games for less than half of what your Mach V cost.

Yes, I prefer PC games over consoles by a large margin. But I am not ignorant enough to dismiss them entirely.

Swearing off consoles after playing PC games is like giving up vaginal intercourse after trying anal. You're just limiting your own pleasure.

I love the way so many people bash the 360 yet no one wants to comment on the way Gears of War looks

Again, if you're so rich you should have both, anyway. I'm sure you don't watch your DVDs on a 22" pc monitor.

Are those pictures above in-game graphics? They look like pre-rendered video to me...

This whole console vs PC thing is a stupid arguement. You can't compare consoles to PCs. They are entirely different, and designed with very different goals in mind. It's hard to even compare consoles to each other honestly.

Is it so wrong to like some variety in gaming? I see nothing wrong with preferring PCs to consoles or vice versa. However, there is no definitive characteristic that makes one actually better than the other.

It all comes down to personal preference. I leave it at that.

It's funny because before the 360 came out, people were saying how it was going to be the closest thing to DX10 out there. I remember reading that in a Gamespot article, but can't find it now. Anyways, gaming on consoles can be fun, but I prefer my PC.

I own a NES, a SNES, an N64, and a Gamecube... and probably will buy a Wii. I'm not a nintendo fanboy... Me and my girlfriend would rather boot up a copy of Mario Party than play scrabble though. Like I said... I like consoles to a point. I just hate that everytime a new console hits the boardwalk, the console boys come out and call it the ultimate machine... I'm fine with consoles and pcs living in harmony. Though I'm probably part of the problem with my elitest attitude. But it still doesn't change the fact that I'll be playing games primarly on my PC.

I've played goldeneye, i've played all the Zelda's which includes my fave game of all time (Legend of Zelda: Link to the past)

You know what I was just happy that Crysis is too graphically intensive to be properly played on console. It brought a nice glow to me.
I generally come off as a jerk and close minded... I dunno why but it's a problem I have.

Yes, GOW looks awesome... it was originally intended to be a PC/XBOX360 Game.. It uses the U3 engine which will be also used in UT2007, and the new Tripwire (Makers of Red Orchestra) game.

My only real gripe with consoles, is that they get all the attention (yes Im an attention whore)... When a game is announced for PC and a console... the pc version usually gets shafted... like with cod2 and the consolitis it has. It still doesn't change the fact I've played it over 500hrs though.

Ok I'll end this now since it's long and probably doesn't make any sense.
But I'm sorry for being a dick
