And we didn't know that? Only hardcore 360 and PS3 fanboys think their games look amazing. Gears of War 2? Uncharted 2? Don't look that impressive at all. Killzone 2 could be done on PCs 4 years ago.

Of course, to elitist PC fans, console games won't look "impressive at all". I say that because not all PC fans behave that way. But on the flipside, those console games took dedication, talent, and horsepower. One man's rags is another man's riches.

Not so fast! A lot of those elitist fans are able to appeciate talent, artistry and excellent production values, more so that anyone who has ever uttered the words 'Powah of teh Cell' with any hint of seriousness. They only appear to be elitist because they have to shoot down many of the latter comments which doesn't give them any chance to espouse the true form excellence has taken in many of the console games, especially PS3 exclusives.

Doesn't nullify my point.

A. obviously, a console isn't anywhere near the power of a PC... B. console fans don't need to be reminded of this fact all the time. I, myself, am a former PC-only fan and can appreciate a current PC fan's outlook. I don't, however, find it OK to claim that console games "aren't impressive" because the PC has games that look better. That's the time when a big, fat "SO FUCKIN' WHAT" is applied. In fact, it can be applied when PS3 fans throw their exclusives in the faces of Wii/360 fans as well.

We actually agree with eachother. I'm hardly an elitist, I find people like Shio extremely annoying. But you have to admit most PS3 fanboys are arguing how extremely powerful the PS3 is and how Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 are the best looking games in the world. When someone says he finds Super Mario Galaxy verry pretty (which it is), HD owners barge in and say Wii games per definition look worse than HD games.

My point is, PC is more powerful than whatever console. There should be no comparison between the two. There also shouldn't be a comparison to Wii and HD consoles, or Atari 2600 and N64. It's pointless. I think Limbo looks better than Crysis, but people saying "HD game X looks just as good as a PC game" should get some grip on reality.

The PS3 and 360 are not that powerful. Bashing them for lack of powerful is idiotic, just like bashing the Wii for lack of power is. However, the latter is accepted, while the former is seen as elitist, whereas both are moronic behavior.
