It seems that a claim to fame for a computer game can be for its amazing grahpics. That is a good thing but I am starting to notice that with the better graphics comes at the cost of needing a better computer or graphics card. Its nice to reed the details off some cars bumber, but not if I am worries about my computer crashing. The reason I got Sins of a solar empire is because of how it does not need a ultra good computer for it to use. games that require high end computers is also alenating gamers how do not have a good syestem or a bug budget for a betteer one. When will graphis became to good for most?
Well, duh. PC games have been like this for the better part of 15 years, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who isn't a total newbie to PC gaming.
Then again, I've never made the mistake of trying to play Crysis on that machine. Funny, that. Crysis has the most beautiful graphics you've ever (or more likely never) seen. But its sales have been abysmal.
Yes, for two reasons:
One, because it's system requirements scared off many people.
Two, when you go beyond the graphics, the game really isn't that interesting. In fact, it can be downright tedious and annoying. Unfortunately, many game companies don't seem to realize that better graphics doesn't necessarily equate to a better game.
considered every single download of a no-cd patch or the full game as an instance of piracy and a lost sale--something that's obviously false.
Is THIS how they count the number of pirated copies of games they have? I thought maybe they were somehow checking the CD-keys to see how many fakes ones people were using. If they're using NO-CD hacks downloads to make their case, they're kidding themselves so badly it isn't even funny.
A lot of slow downs arent even graphical really. Sometimes it's physics, AI or poor coding. That's when it pisses me off

Also, console cost a fraction of the price of comparable pcs, and it's well known that Microsoft and Sony sold their hardware at a loss when they were first released.
HAHAHAHA If PC manufacturers sold their parts at a loss, too, I doubt we'd ever have a discussion on which costs more, PCs or consoles.
