Sup Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 ok, with the release of tons of awesome press of the PC version, kinda gonna put the 360 version to shame ← That doesn't look like the case to me. The PC game looks excellent, but I see nothing being put to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpreacher Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I have to agree with Sup! Im still getting the PC version just for the mods, but not for any other reason beyond that at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Drew Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hmm, I'm still on the fence about the PC version. Mostly because I'm going to have to spend several hundred dollars on upgrades for my PC to get it anywhere near the quality of GRAW: 360. Maybe I'll use the money that I save on not buying a PS3 for that purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetforce Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 A lot of people here are not console gmaers. A lot are not PC gamers. They are just gamers. There is a distinction among the platforms because people decide to draw one. Personally I think you should just enjoy your hobby. Last night I jammed for hours trouble shooting glitches on the 360. Then I jumped over to the PS2 and ran God of War that I had neve played. By a little after midnight I was on the PC. As long as people keep drawing notice it will be there. It's sort of gaming's version of racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pz3 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 not really racism.... just fanboyism pc version imo does look better then x360. and god of war was a sweet game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleaneasy Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I wont be, not even under consideration as im afraid the idea of running the game would make my pc run away and cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Ledanek Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I got to watch GRAW 360 againg at BestBuy and these two players were doing having a blast playing the game. At first I noticed that they are on the same map. When the game ended, I asked if they were playing MP. Youngest one says yes. Then when they picked another map, they couldn't get their 360 to communicate. Rep from BB says move the units closer since they were on some Airlink. I'm looking at this rep, and I thinking, these units are less than 4 ft away. So the two players moved the units like 1 ft apart. Still no dice. After 20 minutes, I left coz I see these two players getting aggrevated and no longer having fun. Another thing that I noticed. They were on the killing spree until they started using grenades. Since the characters are right handed when they toss the grenade, everytime there is also a wall on the characters side, the grenades tends to hit the wall or bounce off, giving one instance the grenades bounced back to the player. Is that lack of body awareness or just plain noobism? Can you switch hands? Could he have leaned more without exposing himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Drew Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 They could have easily switched hands. What you witnessed, was as you said, a great example of noobism at it's purest. And I'd have to agree with you there, HF. Brand Loyalty has been taken to all new heights in the modern-day technically-oriented world. And unfortunately, I think it's for the worst.

People are expecting to throw a grenade with laser precision. If they could do that they would be in the Major Leagues. A grenade is an unwieldy device with no conscience that has a habit of not going where you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Excuse me, a poor-gamer's PC. ← I would disagree, not because i dont think a pc is a worthy gaming device it certainly is but that doesnt make a consoler a poor gamer, it just means that when living in my house 2 serious adult gamers and 2 equally serious kids for gamers the idea of running 4 gaming pcs is a joke, frankly i dont know anyone in the real world who can afford 4 gaming pc's I could start to list why theres nothing wrong with chosing to console game but i wont because that would just start the whole pc vs console debate and ive already said i think there daft and i assume from your comment about people arguing over xbox/ ps you would agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FA sear Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Although I think PC games are better in general, I still probably won't sell my laptop to buy a gaming PC. I could just get a new PC, and a 360, but to me personally it is just not worth it. There are other things that I would prefer to put my money into before a gaming system. Don't take this the wrong way, but as much fun as gaming is, IMO there other things that I would rather do on a nice day, than sit inside running a game. Also, one of the things I like about the consoles is the fact that I can sit behind a big screen in an easy chair and relax. I sit behind a PC all day, and frankly I would prefer not to sit behind one to run games. As much as I love the PC games that I have recently run in the last couple of months, in the end I will probably settle for a 360. I still have not made a decision, but the 360 is the direction I probably will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cons72 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 They could have easily switched hands. What you witnessed, was as you said, a great example of noobism at it's purest.

I've seen people break out in violent fights arguing over whether Xbox or Playstation was better. -Sighs-. ← I don't recall seeing a single left handed grenade throw in GRAW or any GR game. You can switch which shoulder you are looking over in GRAW, but that doesn't change which hand you throw a grenade with. There can be a problem in the game with grenade throwing. At times you can have your right completely free of any obstacle and have your cover to your left, but when you go to throw that grenade, it seems to magnetically be drawn to the cover on your left, bouncing off and right back onto you. I have seen this happen with many experienced GR players. There is also a problem where the physical area an object takes up in the game is actually a bit larger than the visual area you see. This results in an invisible wall surrounding objects that can result in grenade bounces, or detenation of grenades launched from grenadier weapons.

Sorry for the confusion. ----------- And, to poor-gamers thing, I meant its for the more of mainstream. Actually, the reason I'm broke right now is because of my console.

Im running 2 x Xbox 360's (well it will be 2 when the broken one comes back from MS lol) 2 x Xbox and 1 x gamecube, we couldnt possibly afford to run that many gaming pc's or have the room for them for that matter @ jchung - yes i went and got another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
