a lot of PC gamers on Pakgamer are, even Shyber says that he doesnt care for quality if its given to him 6 months later ...
Excuse me isn't that a matter of personal opinion which you don't like hearing from us i.e. me and Viper ?
Funny thing is, people who are on 'your' side (necrokiller mainly) ... have consoles for the 'exclusives' as they say ... yet you keep saying "There are more than enough PC games". Clearly if a person is bothering buying a console while having a PC ... he aint satisfied by the library of games, because the PC pretty much destroys consoles in all other aspects (graphics, multiplayer, controllers option, mods everything).
Hehe Ahsan lotay
Don't bother with this argument man. Theres a difference between me owning consoles to keep my options open with what the gaming industry offers and jumping ships and completely going against a platform you whole heartedly defended (podcast 2 zomg!..exegerration, extrapolation and what not LOL). I'm not saying you made the wrong decision (well mostly you did if its the exclusives you crave, but then comes budget and all that..diff. issue)....but doesn't mean anyone who doesn't follow your foot steps is making a bad choice.
My X360 is collecting dust all day. It was an impulse buy. It cost me a price of selling my Sony MP3 player (NOT especially to buy this) + $15 that I had in my wallet at that time LOL Being an Elite package, and SO damn cheap (2 weeks of Braid played on it at best
), I thought it can't possibly suck so bad to have one. You very well know I was planning to sell it (maybe for a DX11 gpu in future
)
The PS3..aahhh, now you're talking about the good stuff. It serves as MORE than a gaming console to me (which it definitely is) and sadly according to the people here, the 'dvdrip qaum' in Pak couldn't care less about the extra nifty features. It serves as a wireless media server in my house and I can safely leave it on all day without having to worry that it might die on me like a certain other console (watch the <4% article being dragged in here lol). I watch and browse my library through any PC or laptop connected to the same network wirelessly. You're really not getting your money's worth if you don't use all the features it has to offer.
Don't get me wrong dude, I'm all for quality. But most of the times the difference in quality is much less (read: negligible) compared to the difference in delay of release frames.
Are you sure you got a Quad-Core and 4870? Puzzling
Refer to my list if you can't possibly wait for your big games. If they don't suffice then you're really hard to please.
Though still wouldn't be as hot as a dedicated PC only CE3, yet am sure it'll be good enough to rub onto console gamers.
It always is Shyber, always is.
Oh no, am not denying anything. I was just making sure that you knew about that. I was basically pointing out that these weren't big deals - it's something that's on with PC always. Though their absence might enforce the downward curve argument.
Exactly what I've been saying all the time.
No they're not. That's just PR stuff. Crytek are bounding themselves around console limitations. As I said, I'm anticipating to be surprised and blown away by a CE3 worthy of being called a successor to CE2 rather than the marketing move of calling CE2 console version as CE3. I hope you get my drift, that I know how good Crytek really are and they would've done much much better if they didn't have to waste their resources on console ports.
Too soon to say anything Shyber. They also claimed the flexibility of the CE3 will allow them to get the best out of all the platforms. I'm sure you know that. Wouldn't it be wise to see what the actual gameplay footage is like across all platforms when it closer to what we'll get rather than a tech demo? We can surely expect tons of comparisons for this visual behemoth going multiplatform. At this point, that argument isn't valid in my opinion. While simply taking that route for more sales is.
But why is only PC being attacked here for the multiplatform titles? As far as the trend on the internet suggests, most of the PS3 versions suffer from worse screen tearing, frame rate issues and blurry visuals compared to the X360. PC has taken a back seat since devs don't utilize their potential you say? (Sorry but I had to ask this again as you didn't answer me before) How many multiplatform games can you name which have made full use of the blu-ray? Uncompressed lossless audio, ability of very high textures and huge amounts of data being packed onto one BD-disc. Let alone the Cell processor. Similarly, how many games on the X360 are even comparable to Alan Wake? Yet that is acceptable on a fruitful console. Weird double standards.
From another perspective, that proves my point even more. CE3 looking worse than CE2, a case that wouldn't have occurred if Crytek hadn't bothered with console versions.
You deleted that youtube video thread which did a far better and thorough comparison of the CE2 vs CE3 demo saying its too soon to talk about it.....yet here you are passing judgements too soon. By the looks of it, CE3 does look worse than CE2, but we don't know the difference between PC and consoles when the game is finalized.
I am a PC gamer as well. I will rather play their better version but I'd rather not wait for 6 months for them.
In the podcast 2 you said, you prefer the consoles for ease of use over PC. Then you told Ahsan having a choice of ONLY one platform, you'll pick PC. I'm not sure what to believe here
Wasn't that enough when you've mentioned countless times that PC versions are obviously superior and its stupid to think that a multiplatform would NOT be best on the PC (Ahsan's sig in his better days :lol
. How can 'mostly negligible' differences warrant those comments?
There are many adjustable settings other than resolution. And then that edge smoothing thing I talk about, then the texture filtering and all that jazz (that stuff which is the selling point of the GOW collection). You know it better than I do probably but just thought I'd remind you.
