Wanted: Games for the PC

take sum

You just dont get it, do you?? Pc gamers 'like' all that and 90% of them get those high frame rates w/o spending huge bucks - thru tweaking and overclocking. No u'll never get it.

No I understand exactly.My point is pc gaming is all about bragging rights..the guy owns the faster graphic card,processor etc and who gets the higher fps...whereas console gaming is all about fun.You can just sit on your couch and enjoy the damned game!

tis' like I said , y'll never get it. Pc gamers never spend on anything except on your basic bare bones PC confign. And out of that squeezing top performance to play games is the 'kick' I'm talkin' abt. But hey ya'wont get it, I know for sure.

I am sure you will be hard pressed to find any bare bones rig with even a decent mid range graphics card such as a geforce 7600 gs which is capable of running splinter cell double agent at even 30 fps(Even at a decent resolution of 1024 x 768 on medium quality settings).I really don't see the point in enduring endless hours of torture in tweaking your system to top notch perfection and then having a game which won't run on it unless of course you have a fetish for torture. For me its just that a console I can simply get down to the business of playing without fiddling with anything else.After all you are never meant to be meddling with stuff other than playing games.My intention is not to bash the pc gaming platform and when it comes to certain games like strategy games are best played on a pc.However its only the other kind of games I have a problem with and its just that a consoles intutive control mechanism and precision wins me over.Just play gears of war and you will understand exactly what I am talking about. I suppose you are most likely going to include the "you are never gonna get it" bull@$%t" in the next post too.Please make it a point to argue more effectively next time on.

the pc guy is right dude pc gaming is all abt tweaking ur program to the max u cant put patches and trainers in a console game try it out for urself dude buy one nfs most wanted and then tweak it with a trainer easily available online the functions leave u spell bound with ur mouth wide open

Heres my advice to you:atleast try a console first!...I have given my opinion only after trying all platforms so its a more wll rounded opinion.I"d still say console gaming offers a more better overall experience.Just give a shot at playing ridge racer or nfs:mw on a hdtv so that you can get the best experience on your machine and I am sure it will completely blow you away moreoever a c ontroller is simply meant for racing games and not a keyboard(A keyboard doesn't give you force feedback does it?).Somehow playing racing games on a controller just feels right and you never know it might just hook you on.

Dude using trainers is not my style.I hate using cheats while playing any kind of games.If you would prefer to use cheats then I reckon your not really a gamer at all.

pc gaming is all about thrill & passion . PC gaming has no end , but with only who possess the processing power and pixel kick from GPU . , like it's Nvidia meant to be played is true for PC . I to my knowledge played more than 350 pc titles all genres and think consoles are just beginners ( arrival 0f xbox 360 , PS3 is some fresh air). enjoy pc on 17" LCD.

Play it on a 17" lcd..lolz when you can play on 29" screen minimum or a 59" inch tv in all its high definition glory at 1080i(1900x1200 pixels)..dude just brush up your language skills first and we can start arguing when you begin to make better sense...get the slogan right atleast!(Thrill and passion..Is that a tag on some condom brand somewhere?).

1.why waste Rs.20000 on some console and then waste even more money by buying games that cost Rs.2000 each? with that money i could easily buy a dual-core comp more than powerful enough to play the latest games. 2.i don't need to go buy expensive Rs.2000 games when i can instead just get free games or many thousands of other great games for way less than 2000.and i have a lot more choice as to what kinds of games i can play.not to mention that i can even develop my own games. 3.with a pc there is so much more u can do than with a console. 4.the speed and graphics capabilities of a console are fixed , whereas computers keep changing rapidly and become more advanced every year and thus they can easily outstrip graphics capabilities of consoles in a few years. 5.the xbox 360 has only a pitiful 512 MB of RAM(and i beg ur pardon if what i just said was wrong) compared to modern systems which can hold upto 8GB of RAM.so pc's can have very highly detailed graphics. 6.i can just easily buy a usb joystick(which i have already done) and use it in my comp and i get force feedback also.so that excuse falls flat on it's face.

Well heres my counter to you friend: 1)Pc gaming is costly:20000 is rather cheap for a quality gaming experience in my opinion and spending a lakh and a half for a brand new pc with a 8gb of ram or a brand new graphics card is simply not worth it as i)Cross platform games will play the same and may even look the same if not better on consoles and any difference in visuals is rather minor. ii)Since you didn't know this let me brighten your horizons by adding that you can play ripped games on a xbox 360.If you need more evidence on this simply go to plug ins in vashi and take a look. 3)Now we know that console gaming is cheaper and worth every bit of the cost inspite of the fact that our government has levied an atrocious tax rate which prevents any worthwhile technological offering to reach the mainstream consumer.Pc gaming hardware is costly and you may even need to upgrade your rig every now and then a new groundbreaking game comes up.In contrast all games built for a particular console platform will run on it . 2)Pc gaming is buggy and you are always going to need patches to fix problems due to games being released too early or dude to the fact the developers don't have the time to test out hardware for flaws due to imappropriate release dates and due to variable hardware on each consumer which means that even if you do have a top of the shelf rig you're not going to get games optimized for it.However all consoles have the same hardware so developers can test their software on it and fix any bugs well before the release date which translates to that you are never ever gonna need patches to fix software related bugs in a game.There is alwyas xbox live for updates and extra content. 3)Let me also educate you a bit more regarding the hardware approach on consoles i)Console gaming hardware is related to the fact that all the resources are devoted to one sole purpose:gaming, which is why even 256 mb of ram is a lot on a console since its built for a partciular task .This is not the case in a pc as your pc is built for other genral tasks and most your pc resources will be spent on doing random other tasks unrelated to gaming. ii)Console hardware is unique since its for built from ground up for gaming only and there are certain things you can do on a console which aren't possible on a pc.I"ll let you knw some unique things about console hardware if you want to know. iii)Since developers know the hardware of a console inside out they can create spectacular games for it with amazing effects eg motor storm,gow and make the most efficent use of the resources available and 512 mb of ram is quite a lot from a developers perpective. iv)In a pc there are lot of variables and developers havs to set a certain set of minimum requirements for a game to work on and developers base their games more on gpus rather than cpus and the ram a system has.In other words the developement approach for a pc is different from a console and most games depend heavily o the gpu(hence the requirement for additional ram) v)Yes you can easily buy a usb joystick but it sometimes so happens that a games may require driver updates and patches for a game to work smoothly on a pc controller which happens often and at times the controls simply aren't smooth enough since the developers didn't pay attention to the said game being played with a controller and its really a big pain going around with the pacthes,drivers issues every now and then in my opinion.So your point is really moot. vi)Game developers are always going to attracted to consoles since they are assured of sales with each console unlike a pc where each pc sold does not gurantee sales for developers as most pcs are brought for tasks unrelated to gaming so you will find the more and more interesting games deviating to consoles and only tried and tested games beig on pcs vii)The good part about pc gaming is undeniably is open ended nature,unlimited mods there are a lot of other things you can do on a pc.However I would say consoles offer a better experience as far as gaming goes.

Consoles AREN'T future proof. One time or the other, they'll have to make way for newer ones, like the PS2 had to for the PS3. The only thing is that they take time to move on, while as the PC moves on every day, virtually!

The xbox 360 does actually offer utilities to program software for games.A console has a 5 year life span so they are built using the best available technology.For example a ps3 is literally a processing powerhouse and the xbox 360 has features that can compare with any present high end pc except for direct x 10 capabilities....however since a consoles hardware does not change during its lifespan developers can optimize games for a console and create amazing visuals.eg:halo looked great despite the fact that the xbox had decidedly inferion hardware compared to most pcs. In contrast computers are chaotic pieces of work and each user has different system requiremnets,memory,processing power and so on so developers have to ensure that games run on even low end pcs available in the market.

Right on the money! Rohit.. They just don't seem to know what they are talking about!

Its true that a lot of developers are moving towards the next gen consoles.Moreoever these consoles are rather difficult to mod so piracy is a non issue.In time the best gaming titles will be seen on consoles rather than the pc.Thats not to say pc gaming is dying since pc games will always evolve and titles such as crysis will only raise the bar for gaming.However the console is a machine that has been built from ground up for gaming and off late offers more and more features to make it a complete media centre hub.Moroever consoles are rather cheap as you can get a console like the microsoft xbox 360 for a price of 19k(core version) .I would say that a console is the best option if you would like to go in for a complete no hassles kind of gaming and you're never going to need to tweak your bios,update your graphic card drivers or have your system crash just because your rig doesn't meet the sys requirements for a game.Ultimately a console brings about a uniform platform for just about everyone especially while online gaming as you can expect everyone to use the same configuration and controller as you.Gaming on a console never felt his real! Pc gaming does have its advantages in the sense you can run pirated games,specialized hardware or run scripts during that session of counter strike so that you can ruin your opponents gaming experience.I have been gaming for nearly 14 years and frankly I am sick of upgrading my rig every time a new game comes up.So glad the xbox 360 came along.I am really not worried about the original games part since I know where to source these free of cost.

Yup thats right

You're absolutely right on that one. Konami ported Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance to the PC. If you want to see the most stupid console to PC port in history, the MGS2 port is a textbook example.

dude their never was or might their never be god of war on PC I think you were dreaming og playing it on pc
