Do you ever hate game forums?

I agree with Khuutra, only sometimes. I hate cross-platform, cross-game graphical comparisons because they serve no purpose. If you think there's a legitimate reason to compare Killzone 2 to the Crysis 2 demo, please die in a fire.

Well, some people do want a definitive answer on the best graphics in any game, so I'm all for comparing the top games. Comparing Crysis and KZ seems like a pretty natural fit. You have the best looking PC franchise vs. the best looking console franchise. Though, comparing a demo is silly, and comparing anything but the very top is strange to me too. Personally, I don't care, but it's pretty close-minded to say "it serves no purpose" and they should "please die in a fire" for wanting comparisons.

Comparing multi-plat is good though since many people (like myself) have multiple consoles, and if I'm going to buy X game, I would usually like to know if one is distinctly better than the other.

Sure... compare multiplats like Bayonetta so people know if one version of the game is significantly better. When the differences are marginal, there's pretty much no point to discussing whatever small graphical or perfomance differences exist between the two versions. I know that sounds close-minded, but what sort of meaningful discussion do you expect to arise out of comparing two massively different games on different platforms, or in comparing two versions of a game that are pretty much the same? It's pretty plainly system wars under a different veil.

Sorry for derailing the topic >.>
