BF2S Forums [Crysis] Consoles? Halo 3?

well shit

haha halo has always been fun but brought nothing to the table that hadnt already been done.. also has never had breakthrough graphics.

overall a good shooter... but nothing mind boggling.. such as crysis.

You don't know what you're talking about... Maybe you're all just too old and/or have no friends to play Halo with?

Need I say more?

By the way that is a screen shot form the game crysis.. the only DX10 game that has been made so far.

consoles = shit.  Halo = shit.

ps3= shit

Yes please. Because funnily enough, I cannot understand your utter stupidity towards this subject.
Everyone has a different opinion for consoles and pc's. PC's are customisable according to how much money you are willing to spend, Consoles arent.
Consoles you can play with friends right there beside each other, PC's, you cant. Consoles "normally" have a big TV to play on, PC's dont. PC' have better aiming controls for FPS. But then Consoles have better controls for everything else.

You have to compare the views here. And so far on mine, and I am big with comps, the 360 is beating the PC. Why? You can connect with friends/play with friends/play the best game of the year on it/get halo 3/have wireless everything on my couch etc etc. I could go on.

And the fact is, you have not seen the screens/vids of Halo 3, because frankly, if you did they would blow your mind. Yeah Crysis looks good, just like GRAW did on the PC. And what did that turn out to be? An utter failure.
And I am not denying that Halo 3 "might" turn out to be a failure of the highest degree, but face it man, has Halo ALWAYS LIVED UP TO ITS HYPE? The answer? Yes it has, and will.

Victory!

Crysis = Halo 3

Even though I do think PC's are far better, I would still like to say:-

Your perspective = shit.

let the console FPS nubs keep their halo.

moneymaking potential is the worst indicator for game quality.

consoles can't do what PCs do, and vice versa. PC games will always be more complex and deep. but entire genres of console games are likely to never be on PC, like fighting, music, and most anything japanese.

thank god too

lol

On a serious note, it's hard to choose between the two, myself.  I look at my desktop here at the games I have.  Out of 13 of those abnormally large DVD boxed games on my desktop, 3 are RTS's, 5 are FPS's, 3 are sim-type games (rollercoaster tycoon, Civ 4, etc), one's a Diablo-type RPG (Titan Quest), and one is... misc, I guess (Heroes of M&M5). 

Every one of these games are best on the PC, a console would not be able to make it play as smoothly and fun as on the PC (well, maybe R6:Vegas...).  Looking at my consoles, I have so many platformers that, any PC gamer knows, don't control as smoothly on a computer.  I have slower RPG's (Final Fantasy types, as well as KoToR).  I have the occasional FPS (which would be better on a PC, if it wasn't a direct console-PC port (Halo, I'm looking at you)).

In all, they both have their place.  PC monitors are capable of such high quality video.  Even a standard 17" monitor would get better resolution than a 1080I/P TV.  Consoles are nice in that they leave no footprint.  Insert the disk, play.  Also, patches that fix specific hardware configs are non-existent.  But the load times can be larger than on a PC, where everything is on the hard drive instead of the slower DVD drive.

All in all, I'd have to say that the two are very much dead even.  I like my PC more because I can do so much more (play videos in ANY player I want, music in any player I want, browse internet, do other things, etc) than a console.  To me, it's a real shame any game maker that goes the low road and makes the game for consoles, for the bigger market.  To me, it's a sellout, it tells me that they are making games for the money, and not for the, well, honor.  Look at Supreme Commander, ffs.

As much as I don't WANT to bash games PUBLISHED by EA, I can't help but look at their track record.  I know they have no direct involvment in the patching and development, but it seems they only publish games from companies that make half-assed games.
