Where's the logic

Why are games smooth on consoles but you need hardware that costs around
10x as much to run games like Far Cry 2, Crysis smooth in full quality. Why the
fuck are they so greedy, they are doing this on purpose to make people buy expensive hardware and it pisses me off.. Even if someone has a leet Pc they
still will struggle with full anti aliasing and so on.

Where's the logic that a shitty tiny box that costs 300€ or so runs these games
so smooth. Even if they only run on 30 or 60 fps.. A decent pc should run them
with 1337 fps then. I mean has no one ever thought about this, let's say you buy
a PC for 800€ You don't get anything too fancy but if you know what you're doing you'll end up with decent hardware that's still shit when it comes to games like
Crysis, Far Cry 2, Bioshock etc and then you see the console versions of the games.. Doesn't that make people feel screwed with when they spend so much money
and still can't enjoy a game to it's fullest... plix

This isn't about my rig, I know that it's shit but seriously ask yourself:

where's the logic that these type of games run so awesome in consoles with
800 mhz cpus w/e but then fail to produce decent quality on far more
expensive HUGE machines where there is such specialization in the production of
gaming hardware. lulz

I'm never going to buy any games anymore, look at the prices anyways. It's
getting ridicules but I guess they think people can afford it, especially when the
hardware is so expensive to even get them to run half way decent...

Long live piracy, I hope it slowly kills these greedy cunts..

the pc youre trying to run these games on doesnt just play games..... thats why. its a tool you can edit video with, play music on, download and watch porn on, use instant messenger on, run your business on, save terrabytes of information on, code on, you get my point. games consoles play games, pc's do so much more. choose what you want, pay £300 for a console, and then £50 a game, or have an initial outlay on a pc, then use it like you will....
Why is there specialization on gaming hardware if it's shit compared to a console
that costs way less. That's my point. You can't justify that logically even if you consider
the better multiplayer possibilities and so on.. It's just the way people are these days..
You make something that has a high demand and even if you could give them a 1000x
better piece of technology that's even cheaper you keep on making shit just to get more money and then justify it by saying, well everyone is doing it.. This kind of thinking will eventually ruin everyone and it's just sad ..

Ye and look where it's gotten humanity, 30000 children dying a day etc. Some scientist
should make super aids and make a catering company for billionaires and let them get
what they deserve.. Indecent pieces of shit ruining humanity with this extreme greed...
Hmm. Maybe there are some logic out there. I might be really out of the box now but here it goes anyway.

-PCs are made for doing multiple stuff. Operating systems are much heavier to operate for millions of reasons.
-PCs can have millions different equipmentcombos and really you cant program your game to support all those fancy and not so fancy gfx, drivers etc boosters because there are too many to support. In other hand in consoles there are only one gfx, same amount of RAM, same cpu and so on. You know the advantages and disadvantages.

I agree that games are too expensive. Games are shorter and cost more than they used to. Fuck this.

Blah. My english sucks. Haven't typed anything in ages....

Thanks and bye!
Sanctity come back :O?!

QuoteLong live piracy, I hope it slowly kills these greedy cunts..

if nobody buys games it will get even worse! the first companies that die are the smaller, independent ones. think a second about ET and who created it..

companies with big publishers (EA) and a great marketing will still sell enough as long as there is enough propaganda for the dumb games.

/edit: the only reason why I do still play on my pc and not on a xbox are the controls. it is no fun to play a shooter with a gamepad. if there will be proper mouse / keyboard support I'll immediately switch over.
my ps2 cost about 150 I think, my pc about 500 altogether. My ps2 wont play far cry2 but my pc plays it easy on highest settings...do the maths.

edit: I have to agree with the software prices though, console game prices are a piss take. I'll never buy an original game ever again without trying 1st, after crysis was a big disappointment.
But your XBOX360 for 180 quids does.
Parent
It's more about xbox360, ps3 all in HD etc but I get your point, still for me the games should run easy on lower systems since the xboy+ps3 don't even meet the minimum requirements for the pc version and can run it perfectly. Just never made sense to me :o

pc's are always better at graphics then consoles first of all.. if you buy the best pc for gaming versus the best console, pc always wins.. But i fucking agree on that price bullshit.. 500 euro for a piece of high tech silicone, plz motherbitch dont tell me this is how much it costs to to weld some metals and silicone together in mass production.. things ussually cost how much people are willing to pay for it.. thats economics

but i just wonder maybe if they would lower the price down to come closer to the actual production cost of this piece of chip more people would bie the latest hardware each time it comes out, and perhaps just perhaps this would only increase the amount of cash the card producing companies would earn..

and i dont rly get the fuss about game prices, havent been buying that shit since 1830 before the industrial revolution that is.
The nature of economics demands prices to be lowered due to competition, dumbass.

Just because you talk bullshit and I correct you?
Parent
no.. because you have no brain, people without brains shouldnt try to correct others
Parent
Obviously I have more of that than you. And you don't even need brains to realize that, all you need is commen sense.
