you are DRUNK if you think the PC does not get enough FPS. The market is FLOODED with them. COH redefined RTS - Game of the Year 2006 anyone?


and how could I forget about CIV4!!!

lmfao the pc lacks quality fps bigtime, when's the last good game like Quake or duke nukem 3d came out? or blood? ok then... pc gaming is dead bigtime.

only a few good quality fps are coming and even those might suck,.

I second that. I beat the game in 2 days, I liked it that much. Best in the series and SM3.0 looks AWESOME in that game.

I think the lull maybe longer than normal this time ; Reason being is we are on the verge of leaving DX9 for DX10 and I am guesing the pc gamming arena will now be focusing on that DX10 game movement.Just a guess though.

I doubt it, the game industry doesn't usually jump on the "newest gfx bandwagon", some games for dx10 will come out in 2007 sure, but ALL will be hybrid dx9/10 games and the dx10 portion will be made AFTER then dx9 portion is completed, this is because the game industry isnt stupid, most games lik 99.9999999999999999999999% of them wont/dont have dx10 hardware and arent going to rush out and buy vista and an overpriced dx10 card.

the avrage gamers is still using a 9550 or 9600 level card, playing at 800x600 and thinking its fine(till they see the game on a true gamers pc and MUST HAVE a new more powerfull card!!!!)


In my opinion, the gaming industry as a whole runs in cycles. I think we are slowly headed back to a cycle where smaller game companys will publish their own stuff and stop using the huge publishing houses to do so, mainly because those HUGE publishers like VUG and ATARI(infgramers) push games out early before the dev team/company has had time to finnish them, this costs the dev team and company that made the game in both time and respect from players, also it costs$$$ because the company has to try and patch the game up to where it should have been when launched.

im excited about games like crysis,fable2,ut2k7 and the like but im not gonna go all crazy waiting, IMHO I have some very good games to keep playing till the new ones come out :) then again i retro game as well as times so i guess some of you may think im a little crazy, cant help it , some of the older games i have are still fun, still worth playing, sure the gfx arent amazing anymore, but the game itselfs well made, unlike many of todays games where you deal with beta enterface, beta gfx support and companys who never do finnish them because they already got ur $$$

i thought fear was by monolith (&sierra)

you are correct, monolith made fear1(hence the monolith engine used in the game) farcry is made by crytech, and sierra is VUG, so please dont buy their products, at least not first hand, buy them used , vug is quite good at putting out games MONTHS EARLY then never patching them properly because, after all, they already have you green in hand.


forgot, if yall havent played the riddick game, you need to, its a blast and makes doom3/quake4 gfx look like kiddy stuff :D (and its OLDER!!!!)

Riddick did rock and it was hard as hell. It kinda drug out at the end though, but otheriwse is was solid.

Games like Counter-Strike were designed by a team of psychologists to test the average PC gamer's patience and stress levels.


Well if that's true then it worked with me. Still playing it now and been playing it since a few months after it came out.

Oblivion is an amazing game, and I can't wait for Shivering Isles to come out.

2006 was a good year for games, but far too many cancellations for my liking, hopefully 2007 will be better and there wont be any cancellations lol.

CS:Source is good if you can find a good server with a good set of people, other wise it just turns into a bitch fight with hackers...

what drove me from cs was cs kiddies, the games full of 12yo little arseholes who just want to talk sh!t and start fights then try and hack.

and when you kill them they then get mad and try and get you banned from the server because the only way you could have killed them is that you must be hacking, because they are "1337" ROFL

gime ut2k4 or tribes(mods) anyday over that crap!!!! never will you find cs kiddies in tribes1/2 they cant deal with how complex the gameplay is!!!!! "omg.......6axis movement.....skiing........this sucks cs is better..." *cs kiddie leaves server* :D

Which is exactly why I said you need to find a good server, and yes there are a few around, I can direct you if you so require. I agree there are a lot of assholes who play CS, but then that can be said of ANY online game, the key is finding good people to play with. Maybe I was lucky as I've never come across to many, I tend to stick to the servers, and people I know.

lol, true.
i got heavy into css for a while, but thats cuz i started a clan and screened the people i would allow into my servers:banghead:
i had almost 100 people who were pretty cool that i got to know pretty well and sometimes we wouldnt even play, we would just sit and shoot the $hit for hours...:cool:

i guess what i'm trying to say is that you will only like css if you get along with the people that you play... then again i guess that goes for most online games...:toast:

My uncle has bf2142 on his PC and it's great, the only thing bad about it is the unlocks but you go up in rank so fast at the begennin of the game anyway and going up in rank gives you unlocks so you might play 1 shitty game without grenades or something but by then you'd most likely be up in rank so its really pretty good.
