Look, JSRF_Clutch, you can't come into our forum with uneducated opinions and expect Not to be flamed. The fact is you obviously know nothing about gaming hardware, else you'd know that a PC with 4 times xbox's CPU speed, 8 times the RAM and a much faster and more capable graphics card would therefore be better at running games, in additon to them looking better and being more detailed, with shorter loading times. Yes that kind of performance costs money, we accept that. But unlike you we're not poor, or ignorant, and we can afford decent gaming hardware. Microsoft's little toy is fine if that's all you ask from a gaming machine. If you want to play games which look better and play better then you'll need to get yourself a better machine.
By the way, yes FarCry and Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are either on or coming to Xbox, months after they were available on PC. But, the resolution and draw distance are being cut down considerably in all cases, resulting in a much poorer image quality. The DirectX 9 effects are being taken from all of the games because the Xbox hardware is too old and underpowered to cope with it, and it only has a DirectX 8.1 graphics card. So after months of waiting you'll get the worse game.
So my advice to you, if you're still dumb enough to think that your Xbox toy is better than real men's machines, go play in the New Mombasa forums with all the other kids. And for the record, most people here (including myself) have PC's more powerful than the Xbox 2, which is due for release next year (2006). So more fool you, and all the 'hardcore' Xbox gamers out there who think they're at the cutting edge of gaming. You're trailing in our wake.Heh all i did was make one statment about pc games coming to xbox and all hell breaks loose. You flamers belong in new mombasa. Thats where all the rest of the idiots go. Your make your self look like an idiot by flaming me. Just dissagree with me in a respecable manner just like the rules say. Flaming does nothing good for anyone. I didnt come on this forum to make enemys. I look at the first post in this thread and everyone is flaming some guy named Dallas. Man this whole forum is full of idiots who just flame each other. Oh and I know some idiot will flame me for this but im not gonna sweat it. Only place thats safe from flaming is probley the flood.
