In my exciting life of computer games, i have come to relise why Consoles are better than PCs. When we play games, we all want to play a game that is the same as the "average Joe." Why should our gaming experience be limited by how fat our wallets are. Bying a PC now days is very hard, and you have to be careful you do not get a Pentium Banger. What is the main reason why all you Spoilt little brats ask your mummies who drive their JAAAGGUARRSS to buy a Top of the range PC, to play games. And when buying games for your "top notch PC," you are soarly disapointed when it does not run as well as it should. What do you do, "Mum, can I have the new Voodoo Graphics card please." You forget, when PC game developers are making these games, they dont think of "Jimmy" with his p333, they create a stunning graphical game, but then wonders why they do not sell as well, the majority of the PCs cant handle. So when I confront a Console, I find the games run smoothly, my friends game runs smoothly, and everyone is happy. So in the Harsh battle of Future gaming over PCs and Consoles, you can guess who i feel will win...
Hah, i'm afraid you are a fool! Diablo 2 outdated graphics? nope, they are atmospheric and suit the purpose (what more do you ask for?)! Posh Spice? well you are an immature little fellow! (previous word removed due to Special Reserve non-offensive language policy) and i strike you down with my Pentium 333, same as yours i believe, on which all games i have bought recently (and i have some high power recent games) run very well thank you! oh and the 333 is bellow minimum spec and so would cost lower than £500 for which you can buy a pentium 500! so i'm afraid you're wrong! Free speech, yes but try to make it factual and no hiding behind insults without making a valid point: "Will you just go away".
This time i'm afraid i may have to insult you (see your post about the dreamcast). You are not exactly right, have you noticed that all games just now will run on a pentium 333? well they will. In addition, since minimum spec PCs that can be bought today are 500s (for around £500) can it not be said that games programmers do cater to those with low spec (minimum has been 500s for some time now)? yes it can. Also, have you seen Diablo2? doesn't need a super 3d card, but has good graphics and runs smooth on a 333! I find that you are being a little unfair to PC owners and people with cash by saying that they all complain and ask for constant upgrades, that's just not true. As a PC and console owner (it's a N64) i find that consoles are good for having friends over to play games and PCs are great for a good single player or on-line experience. So don't go knocking that which you do not understand! I would like to respectfully request that you retract your entire statement (except your opinion of the winner PC vs Consoles, which you are entitled to) and next time not be insulting, more just put forth the good points of your favoured option!
