Although thats BS that a $400 dollar PC can run Crysis on high...Certainly not with a frame rate higher than 20fps. Not a chance.

I just posted a $400 PC that runs Crysis on Very High 20 minutes ago.

That stupid Onlive thing isin't going to trick me Shio.

MMORPGs = hardcore.

Once again your credibility goes down the toilet shio.

Say that to the millions of MMORPG players that each lost thousands of hours in just 1 game. In pure design, MMORPGs are the closest to "harcore", because in order to compete with the best you are forced to lose hundreds of hours just to get in a position where such thing is possible, regardless of the skill. You have a need to band with a guild or other groups of dozens and, with a strategy already in hand, to coordinate with them in order to achieve the objectives.

Halo 3? Just shoot the bastards. Great strategy there!! And skill?! You're playing with a damn gamepad?! Just let the auto-aim do the work, there's no need to aim it yourself.

I ask to everyone: Why run with 1 leg behind my back, when I can just run with both legs?

There is no auto-aim in Halo 3 so I'm assuming you've never played the game. If there is auto-aim then my copy of Halo must be missing it since I've not once noticed a auto lock on a target unlike COD.

The 360/PS3 graphics hurt my eyes, so does the tearing, lack of AA, and ridiculously low resolutions. It's just painful to watch.

360/PS3 may look great now, but once the next generation starts people will call them crap. And if Nintendo's next system is only slightly more powerful than a PS3 (like Wii is slightly more than xbox). I can see comments like "LOL last gen graphics! Uncharted 3 looks better than this crap!"

The difference between PC and consoles today is so small because of exponentially increasing development costs and Windows XP dominance.

Direct X 9 has been the standard NOT because consoles use it, but because most people use windows XP so they have to make a game compatible with it. With Windows 7 tearing up the marketplace Directx 11 should become the new DX 9.

This generation is already looking to last longer than previous ones. And I thin next generation will last a minimum of 8 years since it really isn't necessary to upgrade the hardware anymore.

This.

And it's hilarious how many of the most popular "HD" games are really just hairs above the "dreaded" SD of Wii games, and nowhere near true HD.
