After just reading the spec from Gta VC on the PC, I had to laugh at the sort of power you need to run this game. 800mhz PC with 32mb graphics card. My laptop which is only 2 years old the same as my PS2 I might add has 700mhz and 16mb graphics card would not be able to run this game at optimum performance and we all know the consequences of that. Missing scenery less objects and slowdown problems, all qualities stupid PC gamers love in there games so I say carry on I will stick to my clapped out old PS2 which will play the game properly because it was designed too.

No, real gamers use both, otherwise they miss out on all the best strategy games and first and third person shooters. You consider yourself a real gamer, but then alienate yourself from some of the most challenging forms of game on the market? You're not a real gamer, you're an idiot who knows he's an idiot, and compensates for himself by telling everyone else they are wrong for being better than you.

Hardly, the cost of a PC reflects that it has on board the capcity to firstly run games better than any console, and also perform a vast number of tasks that consoles cannot perform at all.

While porsche are the Sega of the sports car world, Ford HAVE made executive saloons. So do your homework.

My response to your original post is to stop complaining. You have a laptop which is not good enough to run the modern games but thats tough, if you want to play the games get a new PC if you dont want to play them dont get a new pc, those are your choices. I feel it pointless to moan because you have not got a good laptop and it is ridiculous to say that PC games are for rich and stupid. By saying that you show you are just jealous because others can play online games whereas you cant.

PC gaming is for geeks so you fit the bill perfectly. Real gamers use consoles and don't get ripped-off.

I put it to you this way something that is a jack of all trades is not as good as something specifically designed for that function.

Porsche make sports cars not off-roaders, ford make cheap cars not executive ones.

Well Obviously, Top Score, you're a complete idiot for a number of reasons.

Firstly, you bought a laptop for gaming. What kind of an idiot does that? (You)

Secondly, you bought a 700MHz PC two years ago. You can't complain about it not being able to run games, when you bought four year old technology.

And finally, GTA3 required only a 500MHz PC. And it looked one hell of a lot nicer than Vice City.

You're just a jealous fanboy, jealous because you can't afford a PC, fanboy because you think the PS2 is better. My PC kicks major booty.
