Poeple will keep doing/buying PC game cause graphics and sound quality evolve and Multiplayer sucks monkey balls on console. Orange box games looks like shit on X360 compare to PC but you're right, having one piece of PC hardware that cost the same price or more expensive than a whole console is outrageous. Only the frame rate freaks will buy a 700$ graphic cards on release. I play a lot of MP game..but 8 vs 8 like on Live doesnt cut it for me, i dont even join a server on PC where theres less than 25 players. And no to mention that on PC, games get patched faster and we get map packs made by the community for free. On Live, you need to pay for every shit you download even you pay Live on top of it.

Well, I had already bought the PC version so I just finished ep2 and portal on the PC. It ran like crap compared to the 360 but I ran them in 1920x1200 so what can I expect. Both excellent games for sure! Still going to play TF2 on the Xbox I think though.

He's not talking about the xbox live service, its the multiplayer limitations of it. 8 vs 8 players is a laughable limit by pc standards.
And lets not forget this whole gamepad thing, playing a fast paced deathmatch game with a gamepad is like trying to draw something on photoshop using only a keyboard.

But what does that matter if everyone playing is on a level playing field. it's not like its pads vs mice is it. personally I like more intimate games 4v4 8v8, gets stupid with 24 players sometimes. And LIVE is much better for finding games an maintaining a decent quality connection, I remember when I used to play Battlefield and the ime it took to get into the game was ridiculous and lets not get started on cheating.

Graphics alone have never made a bad game good, quality is made up of lots of elements and resolution is a tiny part.

No think consoles are the future tbh.

the smaller the teams are the more skill is involved, and the more enjoyable the win. a 32 player counterstrike game for example is just a fragfest. certain games like battlefield 2 yes belong on the pc, but for me ive had a far more enjoyable time with my xbox.

im in the uk and ive had intimate long running gaming relationships with all nationalities, because we are of the same skill level enjoy playing togther and enjoy the good connection and voice commuinications and formed a bond. noway could you do that on the pc. and yes it sounds gay BUT I LIKE IT.

oh but whilst we are on the subject, valve fucked up tf2 bigtime for xbox, it lags BIG TIME!!!!!!! personally i think tf2 is better on the pc Smile

TFC ( TF2 ) only gets better when they where more players involved

If its 4 vs 4 half the time Its just offy vs def the rest of the time its people mulching midfield with one or 2 going lone offy / def

If its 8 vs 8 the majority of the time teams more often than not in pubs have more defense than offense as its an easier job to deal with , So there is more skill involved in more populated servers imo

I hope youre aware that a lot of games such has CS, CSS, DODS, UT3 have the mic chat in game without needing teamspeak...just like Xbox Live Wink

Stop trying to find excuses for your precious Live...not my fault if you suck and get own when theres more than 10 poeple on the other team Very Happy

Both PC and console have their pros and cons but i cant stand paying to play a LAN party ( 8 vs 8 )

Played HL2 Episode 2 and its really utter crap.. the graphics are ten times worse then Halo 3 and thats saying something, there is absolutely NO gameplay 'oh jeez.. no electricity what the fuck should i do? ohhh lets use my gravity gun to put the wire in the socket.. WOOOW genius gameplay only been done from half life 2' the moments where it supposed to be excited are really dissapointments for example: waiting in the pitt for the insects to come.. you have to move the turrets to keep control of the bugs. i was just thinking to myself is this really the best you can do? and at the end when they overrun you they put some dull music on so they hope i get more excited.. not to mention the very obvious scripted events thats leaves me with a very bad taste.. tossed it in the bin.. but for the ppl that actually enjoy it.. GL. you're gonna need it.

Ive started playing HL2 from the beginning even though I already finished it and episode one on the pc. Im going for a full recap on the story and the previous events that lead up to episode two. I forgot what a blast this game was. Piling things high to reach other areas is so much fun and launching anything and everything at your enemies with the gravity gun is great! Is episode two visually the same or did they manage to increase the aesthetics?


May the NFOrce be with you always.

played a bit of TF2 on the xbox now ... for me its not realy that much fun :-/
as mentioned by others TF isnt made for this small teams ... like a comman situation this heavy guy + medic are like invincible (well played though) ... good luck grabbing the briefcase with one of them in the room.
plus you get a game which obviously needs teamplay .. on random xbox game servers .. good luck finding a bit of organized team with like half of the team using the voip.

portal and ep2 is great though Smile realy liked the story of portal.. hopefully there will be a sequel or more lvls (for free not m$ points -.- )

guess for MP UT3 will be funny again or for now halo Smile

Kinda weak enforcing your own 'opinion' by calling someone names.. must be your personality for sure. or maybe you feel offended on a personal level, rofl. makes you even more weak. Goodluck with that too man.

Or maybe I'm not weak and I have taste, You are entitled to your opinion, however, I'm here to tell you that you are talking out of your arse big time, Half life has defined a genre and who are you to put people off with your eronous opinion?
