"PC games are for rich and stupid."

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.

Hey Top Score. There is not need to start slating PCs just because you cannot afford a high spec machine. It’s not the PCs fault that you are poor.

For cutting edge visuals, high quality sound and high-quality display (I.e. resolution) a top spec PC cannot be beaten. Notice i am talking about pure power and cosmetics here - the debate between PC/console games is a subjective matter. The power and pure speed of a PC is fact.

However, as everyone knows, a top end PC costs lots of cash. But whatever the cost, if you can afford it, PCs are still capable of doing it. Can you imagine Doom 3 running on a PS2? No, not in a millions years.

Okay, you can’t afford to keep up with the PC hardware upgrades, which is annoying in itself, but don’t use your lack of money to start slating PCs

Just enjoy what you can afford, i.e. your you PS2.

I don't think this is what he was trying to get at.

Although, you know, you can probably plug your PC into your TV?

Wow!.. you REALLY got ripped off... You can't blame us your your bad purchasing decisions... (but enough about your PS2 ;) )

I'll bet it can still give you a better performance than the PS2 versoin can supply though?

EXACTLY. It can't even begin to work the manner of miracle that PCs perform as everyday tasks. So before you continue spamming how your console is better than a PC, try to remember that the very idea is just plain wrong.

To some people, the quality of the image is more important than how much it gets stretched out...

Let them pay out the money for the game. We can't stop them so why bother.

Your'e right if they want to spend load of time, effort and money let them carry on, but to say it is the best gaming platform is laughable.
