Um...yeah. :roll: Just when it was thought that people would stop trying to resurrect this topic. Hopefully the mods will lock this soon.

I'm done.



Actually Resurrecting a topic with useful concept is far better than trolling and using offensive words all the way ! :wink:
Why dont you go and resurrect a 5 year old topic with some useful concept? That would be funny.

Dude, my 386 can so stomp your Atari. :-P

on the other hand .. the majority of PC gamers don't survive moments of frustration .. installing a game .. adjusting their suitable visual quality level .. installing patches because of existing bugs .. toubleshooting many driver and operating system issues .. but in the end ..they have a superior visual quality level compared to those who have consoles .


I'd actually argue that for many the tweaking, troubleshooting upgrading, etc, etc is all part of the fun of PC gaming. Last night I got home from work and didn't have enough time to really get into a game so instead I played around with my CPU and memory settings to see if I could squeeze a little extra performanc out of my rig. It's very similar to somebody who builds hot rods. They spend more time building, fixing and tweaking their cars then actually taking them out on the road, does that make there hobby any less fun. No! To come to a PC hardware site and post "8800 GTX chocking on Rainbow 6 Vegas?? Buying xbox360" is pretty stupid as is all the people who complain "it cost too much" or "it's to hard to get games to work right". I don't go to XBox sites and say "your graphics suck, buy a $2000 PC" because I know nobody there is interested in that. I'd say most people here are savy enough, have good enough machines and are into PC gaming enough that coming here whining about it rather then asking for help gets you only what you deserve.

Well , that's you .. I became just like you .. because involving in too much probems will let you enjoy the fine taste of finding a solution .

but I have to admit , many 2006 games have got on my nerves .

Well, since I come from a background of trying to get Wing Commander 1 and Wolfenstein working back in the day, games of 2006 don't seem all that frustrating to me. I remember when I had to create boot disks to run games, and even then things were sketchy :D.

im the same way, however il stay with computer..i was very excited an hour ago when i installed my 8800 gtx along with rainbow 6 vegas, only to see low resolution textures and no anti aliasing, boy was i bummed, fun game, but man i would really like to see the graphics...if this is the future of pc gaming, im saddened.



edit the settings moron :/
they're for something!

the game will always run wiuth the default settings at start.
and while most newer games autodetect your hardware, rainbowsix vegas doesnt set the options automatically...


so tweak it before you whine! :/


also, to the dumbass who claimed that the GTX 8800 has "128 shader units"
read some, get informed, then COMMENT....
they're unified shaders, wich means they can be programed to act as a variety of stuff, so they're not only "FOR SHADING" (thus you cant compare a unified shader gpu with a gpu like the current ATI . with specialized parts.

Damn man. You just played the whole game as if it were on a PS2 8O Sucks. Go into nView and force AA/AF and High Quality. You won't have to screw with them again except the game sided features.

yes I remember the good old days off boot disk :lol: there will always be a special place in my heart for autoexec.bat and config.sys

Wing Commander, Wolfenstein... Those were the days!!!! Remember when you had to have that extra 10 Kilobytes of free ram to play the game and you spent so much time just to get that...!!!! Lucky my computer then was much tougher, if you know what I mean...

And don't even get me started about what happened when I got my first SoundBlaster and wanted to hear speech in Wing Commander 2!!!!!!!

Nothing much to do with the posts topic of course, I just got nostalgic! I hated the days back then, but I LOVE THEM...[/quote]

Hah! You know, I never did get speech working in WC2. Friggin' a! It was HARD! (plus I was pretty young at the time)

Article proving what??

You haven't proved anything to me. You aren't right about anything. All you have done in this entire thread is tell me that Crysis will own any console out there today. Wow. Great, a game that will come out sometime in the future will be better then todays gaming! It really takes alot of brains to figure that one out!!!!!

But speaking of brains, youre in a LAW enforcement like you clearly said. Thats not exactly a super hard field to get into. You dont even need high school. Specailly in the states, what a joke.

Seriously come back when you have a degree in Mech. Engineering, then maybe we can have a real talk about success. Did you even go to university? And if you did, was it anything other then shitty ART's???? LOL

wow. oh well I guess most cops are pretty thick headed in any case.

You could easily be the 7 year old in those pics regardless.

At the end of the day, youre most likely the drop out high school jock that didn't make it academically. You probably were in the army for 2-3 years, then you were discharged and you joined the force seeing as how they practically hire infantry units on the spot.

So ya dude, you're really cool, and super smart. I hope they pay you well.

wow you're a nerd.



LOL doesnt matter what you say to me kid because at the end of the day im the winner and your the loser.

I have backed up pretty much everything I have said with either photographic evidence or an article from a developer. You on the other hand have offered no such evidence, just your biased opinions which don't amount to jack sh1t.



I dont blame you for being jealous :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just get over it already, this topic is dead, we're on to WC2 and boot disks now :lol: Anyone ever play Superplex? Kinda like Pacman.

C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas la guerre.

Meh, I'm still down with my NES Super Mario / Duck Hunt and I still have the gun that came with it... 8)

:D You are wrong. It was not hard. It was REALLY hard!!! And don't think there was in-game speech or anything fancy like that! It was just in the introductory cut-scenes (remember those ???? We used to be awed by them!!!). And of course all these needed about 10 megabytes of hard drive space if I remember correctly. And this was IF you had a hard drive back then...
And now look, kids arguing about consoles and pcs and which one has better graphics and which one is better. The best one is the one you like the most!!! Whether you stay up trying to get it to work 1% faster of by playing with your friends in the living room in front of your TV. Stop argueing about these stuff dammit it's pointless!!!!
