Re: Games like BF2 are the reason that consoles will always suck
Chris,
This is so ludicrous I don't how to respond. Sure, if you completely oversimplify it and dumb it down, you can say "well they are both for transportation" but they are for such different types of transportation that drawing this comparision and then defending it is just plain stupid and just goes to show that you are too stubborn to admit your comparison might not have been good.
Are you seriously asking me for benchmark stats to prove that a 3.5 GHz motorola processor isn't more powerful than a 4.0 GHz motorola processor? LMFAO!!!
On top of that, a bench mark test would be completely pointless because they share a completely different function sets and are designed to do different things. One could easily make a bench mark test to make either one of them appear much more powerful than the other. All you have to do is just intentionally focus on their respective strengths and weaknesses.
OMG, would you please follow the debate? It isn't an excuse for failure. What I was doing was pointing out that porting games from one system to another is not an easy task and so saying "well this game was better on it's original console/pc" doesn't prove that the system is better.
LMAO! No, I never said such nonsense. In fact, I explicitly said that the gaming content was a push and I even explicitly listed out the consoles that I have spent much time gaming on.
You mistaked my claim of the truth, that consoles are behind the market on technology, as saying they suck. Forget the fact that I explicitly said in the post that you are responding to that they don't suck. I mean, that would actually require you to read what I have written and think about it instead of spouting off the first inane nonsense that comes into your head.
They make up for a lot of it by being dedicated machines and not general processors, but the fact of the matter is that by the time a console makes it to market, its processor technology is all out of date by computer standards.
I love how you are a complete ass to me about things I haven't even said. Congratulations on that, BTW. Again, I never said console sucks. What I said is that moddable games have a longer life than unmoddable games.
Well, if I actually said that PC games were better than console games you would have a point. However, all you have done with this comment is show how you can't read.
I can't believe you are arguing this point after defending that planes and cars are similar forms of transportation. Pure unadulterated hypocrisy. I agree that they target different things, but they both fulfill the same exact nook, videogame entertainment while cars and planes occupy very different nooks (short distance easily accessible transportation and long distance transportation).
I am and I was doing nothing but. I explicitly said that the content was a push and that consoles don't suck. I love games like Amplitude, Frequency, Guitar Hero, Shadow of the Collussus, etc. . . of which there is no parallel on PCs.
However, the reason that games exist on consoles and not on PCs is because they are more readily available because the hardware is cheaper. If consoles didn't exist these games would all exist on PCs. However, people make games on consoles because they can reach a larger audience. But the fact of the matter is that the hardware IS inferior. It is more efficiently used during games, however, it is inferior by the time they make it to consoles and for that reason alone PC are able to handle better graphics for more objects.
Chris,
Both are means of transportation, and in the same time they are both used for transportation. PC and consoles, both used for gaming but they are good at different areas. Perfectly valid comparision.
How about some benchmarking stats?

Is that an excuse for a failure?
But youre trying to convince me, that just because PCs are superior in hardware, their games are automatically better and thus consoles suck.

So youre saying, that if a game cant be modded its doomed, and since console games cant be modded, consoles suck? Be more clear, although I doubt you can.
Mods make the games live longer, sure, but saying that PC games are better than console games because of modding capabilities is wrong.
The problem is that the games released on those platforms are different.
Stop looking at the hardware and start comparing the GAMES.

). Throw that CD in, press START and youre in. Play a few games with your buddy and youre done. A true, simple gaming machine which wont make your brains blow up with various software and hardware issues. Theres more to it than just a controller.
