Ok mods, id like to know why Mazty was banned when its clear looking at this comment it was keroncoward who trolled Mazty and other pc gamers such as myself with a comment like "So much power just to play an exclusive like Farmville." I want to know why was Mazty banned and keroncoward was left off the hook like nothing happened...


As a guess, because Mazty has a history of comments and warnings that lowered tolerance to his comments ...

I find it funny how 1.25 CPU is slow and 1.6 is fast. Only in the internet... its those 350Mhz that make the difference!

It might be easier for people to say Nintendo is slow and Microsoft is fast! Its about as obvious that theres no logic to it.

3 cores @1.25 is (not a little bit, a lot) slower than 8 or 16 cores @ 1.6
here in the internet and everywhere.

i don't get what is so difficult to understand...


Not necessarly. Depends on the CPU tech. And other rumors pointed out that half of the cores will be used for kinect. So it seems true that all next gen consoles will have similar power.

If that is true then a basic $600-$700 PC will wipe the floor with all the consoles, which is really just someones laptop and console budget combined. 

My 3 year old PC hammers the crap out of the Wii U in everyway and it's using yester-years tech e.g. DDR2 RAM and a phenom II. The consoles are going to have to watch out for the steam box if they really think seriously low-clock speeds are going to give them next-gen capabilities. 


So much power just to play an exclusive like Farmville. Im happy for you....

Mazty is the one who brought PC in the conversation and then basically talked down upon consoles.  At that time they both looked foolish but it wasn't til the point when he blamed keroncoward for being a jellous and having a bad christmas.  The argument should have never went that far and they both should have dropped it.

It should of been dropped with keroncoward getting a warning for trolling PC Gamers. That would of put a stop to the whole thing!.

Also Mazty never even said he had a powerful pc! he said he had a low spec PC. Plus Mazty'z comment was valid. If all the consoles next gen are going to be pretty much the same as the WiiU in terms of specs, a Cheap PC will be more powerfull then them.


I don't know it was getting out of hand though. I tried to get them to chill but that didn't work.  

And yes if they are all going to be close to the WiiU power wise then yes a cheap PC.  I expect the NeXbox/PS4 to be around a midrange PC.  Developers do focus more on consoles so games will improve on PC as well so that is a plus.

I want you to read this, especially points 1 and 16:

1. Moderation on VGChartz. VGChartz uses a progressive moderation system. This means that repeats of the same offense will often result in harsher penalties, starting with a warning and working up. Generally permanent bans are only handed out for extreme rule breaking, a whole lot of repeat offenses of the same rule, or actions that threaten the site’s ability to function. However, the administrators and moderators reserve the right to permanently ban your account at any time if they feel you are a threat to the site. This will only be done through a consensus among the moderating staff. Brand new accounts (less than 200 posts) that do nothing but troll or spam will also be permanently banned immediately, at the discretion of the individual moderator. You are subject to moderation for breaking any of the following forum rules in addition to anything in the Terms of Use.

16. Reporting Content. If you think a thread or post needs moderator attention then you can let us know by clicking "report this post" and telling us what the problem is. If things need to go further, send a PM to any of our fine moderators. Naturally, we as moderators do not read every post in every thread, and appreciate a helpful head's up from readers when something untoward is going on. If you have a problem with a moderator, send that moderator a private message, and if you are still dissatisfied, send a private message to axumblade, the Lead Moderator. If you are banned and cannot login, email mods@vgchartz.com with your issue and you will get a response from the Lead Moderator. Do not post these issues in the forums, outside of moderator-sanctioned threads, or on the moderator’s wall - doing so may result in moderation action against you.

The most interesting point is that during this whole time you never even reported the comment in question. And it has already been reported by someone else, and KeronCoward (don't report me Squilly!) has been moderated for it. So... er... yeah...

Thanks dude, like i said originaly my mean point wasnt even about mazty as i do have had a run in with him in the past. It was mostly that Keroncoward should of got a warning for what he said. But now that thats been taking care of by yourself all is good . Also i guess i really should of just posted about him to one of your guys in a PM instead of randing about it here but its just i was getting sick of seeing such comments slide but thats still no excuse for my rant so im sorry smeags .

Haha it's all good. I knew what you were getting at. Next time just use the report button or PM us mods. We're happy to help. ^_~

Anyways...

On topic! ALL OF YOOOOOOOOU!



Alright now smeags and zero hug it out :P lol




       

Yeah, back on topic............................cricket chirps...............



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

So to be back on topic here.
With the 360 now meant to include Kinect 2, Kinect AR glasses (Maybe more then 1 pair??), 8-16gb ram, 8 Core CPU etc how much can you guys see this system launching for?
Also what are the chances of MS Releasing their next big games multiplat on their own systems? Halo 5 released on Surface, Windows 8 PC, Xbox 8 etc??.

Anything named kinect won't require in nextbox(some bundle will include maybe)

Rumor is 499.  They will also more than likely be uising a subscription plan similar to phone plans for people who dont want to pay 499 up front.

And doubtful that they will launch across all platform.  They may do some games but big games like halo is doubtful
