I'm not only referring to bricking, I'm talking about dangerous software/updates in general should I start talking about Viruses?

Do consoles get those as often as PC's do? No.

I wouldn't mind if evilrex brought up something new but he keeps repeating the same damn thing over and over again despite the fact I keep showing him he is WRONG.

Stop trolling.

 

PC Gaming will always have it's advantages and disadvantages when you compare it to console gaming. It's that simple.

 

Obviously someone who doesn't want to go through the steps and processes to build a PC worthy of playing IV will go with the console version and vice versa.

I can guess that when you spend an embarrassingly large amount of money on a PC for playing video games, you will only accept that it is pure perfection and nothing can be bad about it.

 

CharmingCharlie,

 

Ok then, here's an example of an update which had a negative effect for PC gaming:

 

http://blogs.computerworld.com/vista_sp1_slow

 

http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/13/vista-s...-slows-down-ce/

 

http://www.itwire.com/content/view/16550/1103/

 

Probably most of you know that Vista SP1 ended up slowing down many PC's for several reasons when it was released. Sure, now it's mostly fixed, but it's just an example.

 

I'm surprised I even have to show an example of bad updates for PC's, as I'm sure over the decades there's been literally thousands.

 

Also, why do you accuse me of repeating the same thing when you don't stop talking about the bad PS3 update? It didn't even affect most people and was fixed pretty quickly.

So basically all you came up with after an hour of searching was "vista slows computers down". Now call me picky but I would take a slow computer over a dead console any day. At least with a slow computer I can still use it but a bricked console is of no use to anyone. Now if Vista did slow my computer down guess what I could do ? That's right I could reinstall windows XP and everything would be back to normal. Tell me what do you do to rectify your bricked console ? Oh yeah you send it to MS and get it back around 3 - 4 weeks later.

 

You have still yet to show any proof that an update on the PC can render a PC TOTALLY INOPERATIVE like a firmware update can render a console. The best you could come up with was "vista slows computers" please get a grip, you are just embarrassing yourself.

 

As for me having to keep repeating myself it's all down to you. First up you flatly denied that any console could be killed with an update. I clearly showed you were wrong but not you are going "oh yeah well it doesn't happen to everyone" yadda yadda. If you listened and ACCEPTED facts then I wouldn't have to repeat myself.

Where exactly did I flatly deny that any console can be killed with an update?

 

Again, this has never ever happened to me, nor have I ever heard of an official update which bricks a console.

 

You mean this?

You know what evilrex it's people like you that are putting me off coming to this forum. I am sick and tired of their trolling, I come here to talk about GTA 4 on the PC yet I constantly find people like you clogging the forum up with your console bias simple because you can't stand the fact that the PC version whilst it may have it's problems is still a damn sight better than the console version.

exactly. and i'll share mine. mods for GTAIV (and other games too) totally rule. enough so that i could never play it on a console. thats how counterstrike came to be. an old Half Life 1 mod became a VERY successful stand-alone game. can't wait till we get some uber mods for GTA IV. such as making roman shutting the hell up about bowling.

Played the game on Ps3, Pc, and Xbox. In my oppinon I like the controls for the Pc version (And the multiplayer lobby), Ps3 version seems alright with its free online, but its the Xbox version to me that seems to have the best balance of graphics, controller, and multiplayer. I say this because the most recent patches for the pc version elimated misc objects to improve performance... I dont know if this was done on purpose but I can't say that I'm very happy with it. Everyone on pc multiplayer cheats... whats the fun in that?

 

Its just my oppinon, so if you dont agree no need to get your panties in a bunch.

Brush up on your English skills a little. I never implied that it was by any means impossible to brick a console with an update, I just said that I'd never heard of such an update.

Come here to talk about GTA 4 on the PC and also annoy/disrespect console owners by saying that they are cheap and the experiences do not come to close to anything you'd find on the PC version?

And then start arguing with people by being a hypocrite and calling them trollers WHILST trolling yourself? And for the last time, I've already said that I prefer the PC version. Why can't you accept it? Why must you imply that I hate the PC version all the time?

You guys are being a little hard on 'ol rex here.

 

I'm a PC gamer aswell, I bought a 360 a couple years ago on a whim.

 

With the PC you are deffinatly rewarded for your effort and money spent. I can, however, see rex's point. Sometimes it's just too damn tiresome to f*ck with the PC endlessly. It's an endless battle of tweaking and f*cking with to get stuff to run right. Sometimes not, but most of the time you gotta be trying to figure out something.

 

With the console, you plug it in and play. When you're an adult and you have work, chores, excercising, whatever, sometimes it's just easier. No headache.

 

So an update bricks it. Oh well, who gives a sh*t. Send it back if under warranty, if not, 200 bucks will get you just the unit now. Big whoopdie f*cking do. I spent a hell of alot more on hardware for my machine in the past 2 years than I have spent on console gaming my ENTIRE lifetime! I'm 28, had em all. Except the direct compeition.( For example, I have a 360, not a ps3. ) But I have always had a new console.

 

So, all that said, I'd rather play the PC version by far. I love building new machines and pushing hardware to it's max. IV is just awe inspiring on the PC, I love it. But you can still see where rex is coming from. Aside from him arguing with charlie about the bricking. That's not a winning battle there rex. haha

 

It is really too bad though. One of the best aspects of PC gaming, the freedom with modding and such, is completly destroying the games online value. Can you say raped? That's not the PC's fault though its MS and Rockstars lack of insight. f*cking blows my mind, there is NOTHING to prevent cheating online. Who does that?

 

What was this topic about again? lol

Please tell me how I am actually trolling in a GTA fan forum, specifically the GTA 4 PC section in a topic that specifically asks why the PC version ruined the 360 version ? You are the one that keeps labouring how wonderful your toys are, fine you like your console great but keep it out of the PC section.

Well to begin with you was arguing about updates which brick consoles, which does not relate to GTA IV for the PC. Actually, just look back at your previous posts, a significant number of them do not relate to GTA IV at all.

The fact that you are arguing about technical flaws with consoles and didn't mention anything relating to GTA IV has made you just as much of a troll as I am.

 

 

You are the one that keeps labouring how wonderful your toys are, fine you like your console great but keep it out of the PC section.

 

Am I not allowed to talk about consoles in a topic which is titled "This version ruined my 360 version"? The topic name itself relates to consoles, so does the first post. I see no reason why I can't post my thoughts about the comparison between the PC version and the console/360 version, WHICH I HAVE DONE, before you started complaining about console owners whom have different opinions to which a majority of the PC gamers have in this section. It's your own fault if you do not accept other peoples opinions, if I (and others) find they keyboard and mouse more uncomfortable to use, you should accept it, not call us "trollers" just because we aren't riding on the PC fanboy bandwagon.

This was YOUR first post in this thread:-

 

 

Only thing I hate about PC gaming is awkward controls on some games. (Mouse and keyboard)

And connecting a game pad is usually just a pain in the ass to configure. Just my opinion though. Don't take it the wrong way. Oh no, here it comes!

Notice how YOUR very first post has NOTHING to do with why GTA 4 has ruined the 360 version, notice how you are the one that derailed this thread and turned it into a console vs PC thread. Then shall we notice it was you that started going :-

 

 

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention what a nuisance it is to actually get a game pad working on PC. (downloading drivers and sh*t... actually I think that's another annoying inconvenience with PC gaming in general, the constant requirement of updating drivers is just a pain in the ass)

Which again has sweet f*ck all to do with this thread but you had to fire off on how the PC has the constant requirement of updating drivers. So it was actually YOU that derailed this thread and turned it into some pathetic ad hoc console v PC thing, not me.

 

 

You are the one that keeps labouring how wonderful your toys are, fine you like your console great but keep it out of the PC section.

This is the PC section, it is going to have a PC bias because strangely enough it's the PC section. Now you keep calling PC gamers here PC fanboys but if anything you are the biggest console fanboy here and all you are doing is derailing this thread trying to prove that you are right. There is no need to talk consoles in this section, this thread wants to discuss why the PC version is superior I haven't seen you say one damn thing yet as too why you think the PC version is inferior or superior. All you have done is spend 4 f*cking pages trying to show how consoles are better than PC's.

 

Now get back on topic and stop derailing this bloody thread.

Yeah and where did you "back up" consoles ? Oh wait I remember it was in the single PC thread that PC users had to discuss GTA 4 possibly coming to the PC. So once again we had a console fanboy LIKE YOU coming into a PC thread preaching your sh*t.

 

I don't go into console areas and try to convert people, I have no interest in converting any sad console kiddie to PC gaming. I have no interest in debating a console v PC thing either but for some reason evilrex and you cannot resist it.

 

Yet here you are divinee AGAIN trolling not just a PC thread this time but an entire PC section. As I have already said I don't give a rats arse if you like console gaming just keep it out of the PC SECTION.

 

Now unless you or evilrex have something to say on whether the PC version of GTA 4 is better than the console version then shut the hell up.

 

Oh and btw I am not 40 I am 37 and I make no excuses for the fact I love games which is why I play them on the PC.

perhaps it should be locked. i cannot see what else can be said (with or without attracting more console fanboys). but that is just me. all i can contribute is: i played gta iv on a 360 at my buddys house (being that he lacks a decent pc). despite the cheater rampant multiplayer and lovely bloatware, the pc kicks so much more ass. loads quicker, runs better, looks better, and plays better (even without the addition of the excellent community made MODS)

I'm a PC gamer aswell, I bought a 360 a couple years ago on a whim.

Do explain this. You bought the 360 on a whim i.e. by chance, but you always had a new console?

 

You guys need to understand on thing. Being here in the PC section means you're a PC gamer. OK? If not, get the f*ck out. Pretty please. This is the f*cking PC section covering the f*cking PC version of this f*cking game. Very simple. We bought our PC's for many things, gaming is only one of the reasons. People do sh*tload of stuff on a PC, while you can do one and one thing only on a console. And good thing s it's not possible to do any work on it, becasue you could lose a lot when it gets bricked or RROD or whatever the f*ck it gets. We don't care, you have your console, we have our PCs and that's it.

 

You maybe fail to understand this, but I would never ever get a console. Why?

 

* console tiles are just not interesting to me. I have seen most of popular PS3 game and not one of them has made me thing "Christ, I should get this, it's great!". I just don't give a flying f*ck about 99% of console exclusives. Like many of us don't.

* depending on your country, consoles can get EXTREMELY expensive. As an example, my friend payed some 700$ (back then) while I got my machine for around 1200$. The games here go for a 100$ a pop. One hundred f*cking dollars! For a game I don't even want to play LoL.

* and yes, xbox is quite less expensive, but it does like to break down. Which in my case would be a good thing as I would be deprived of all that lag and pop-up with low framerates and loads of blur while doing ridiculously low FPS LoL

* I don't want to play like infant in front of a TV. I find it very demeaning.

* this plug and play<>functionality+reliability+quality trade off i just not acceptable for me.

 

So evildix, divinee and other little trolls, leave. Goodbye and don't come back. I hope we'll never ever see you again. f*ck off.

 

This being said, I don't deny anyone's right to play on THEIR platform of preference. For me a gamer is a gamer and a troll is a f*cking troll. If anyone fails to understand the difference between a troll and a gamer, he need his head/brain examined. I could to write this every time over and over again and this is why some of us made this little handbook for certain situations, so look up the Nextgen Cockbook.

And I guess we should add Cryolitis, good idea.

 

Caused by - gaming companies that push the PC gaming boundaries but fail to deliver a good pleasurable gaming experience all around.

 

Symptoms - graphics whore will disregard content as far as the eye is pleased biggrin.gif

 

Treatment - a game with specified graphics level AND good gameplay should be designed.

 

Something like that, I'll add it later.

I don't play Crysis on all high and still i love it.I love to fool around with the enviroment.But don't tell me that it doesn't have good gameplay.

 

-Fully destructible enviroment,covers crumble,no place to hide,translucent leaves that can give your position away.....

 

Crysis is my second favorite game(i would give it 8.5)but i think it's really up to you how you play it.They put you on an Island that has massive enviroments,and they allow you to decide how do you want to play it.If you are not creative you can screw all of that.It's up to you.So what kind of gameplay do other games have that Crysis doesn't?(apart from it almost being a sandbox game)

 

So no,by Cryolitis i meant the bulls**t that console gamers puke it everyday."You need a $2000 PC to run Crysis on high" and a better machine to max it out.By todays standards Crysis isn't such a demanding game anymore.Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC isn't that much better.A huge city with nothing to do after quests.With horrendous requriments,and technical problems.Anyway,i'm tired of explaining everyday that the game doesn't need a $2000-3000 PC to make an expression.That's just a myth that has been busted a couple of times now.

This is already included there.

 

And I thing there is some Crysisolisis among PC games, as too many people will compare other, completely different games with Crysis.

 

I personally loved the eye candy part, especially after getting my new PC, but some stuff (like the endless caves and frigging aliens) I just couldn't swallow. (Good) games for me consist of a number of small details that make me go "aaa..." here and there and Crysis just didn't provide that for me. There is also a number of issues that (IMO) make the game look funny at times. Like, I creep up slowly and there are some guys, 50 meters ahead. They are just inside the range of standard rifle and I look at 'em through that scape attachment. Now, I open fire and kill all but one. He starts creeping slowly so I hit him just once. He twits and tries to run away and I hit him once again. You can repeat this action for as long as you want (or approximately), but you won't kill the sucker. He just twists ans shouts as you empty sour clips.

 

Second example, I use my invisibility feature and hide in the bushes. I shoot one of them, hide back in the bushes and they start to look for me. I get up, kill another one of them and again take cover. I mean, they are right there, but nobody is reacting as I kill the one by one, from an arms reach distance.

 

Third example, I'm waiting for the guy hidden behind a door. I fire a shotgun round from some 30 cm distance right in his fekking head. He gets hurled away, his helmet comes off and he attacks me. WTF?

 

I respect Crysis for what it is, but I will not tribute it with more then it is. If some good action game (like COD) built on Cryengine came out, that would be "the sh*t".

I personally loved the eye candy part, especially after getting my new PC, but some stuff (like the endless caves and frigging aliens) I just couldn't swallow. (Good) games for me consist of a number of small details that make me go "aaa..." here and there and Crysis just didn't provide that for me. There is also a number of issues that (IMO) make the game look funny at times. Like, I creep up slowly and there are some guys, 50 meters ahead. They are just inside the range of standard rifle and I look at 'em through that scape attachment. Now, I open fire and kill all but one. He starts creeping slowly so I hit him just once. He twits and tries to run away and I hit him once again. You can repeat this action for as long as you want (or approximately), but you won't kill the sucker. He just twists ans shouts as you empty sour clips.

 

Second example, I use my invisibility feature and hide in the bushes. I shoot one of them, hide back in the bushes and they start to look for me. I get up, kill another one of them and again take cover. I mean, they are right there, but nobody is reacting as I kill the one by one, from an arms reach distance.

 

Third example, I'm waiting for the guy hidden behind a door. I fire a shotgun round from some 30 cm distance right in his fekking head. He gets hurled away, his helmet comes off and he attacks me. WTF?

 

I respect Crysis for what it is, but I will not tribute it with more then it is. If some good action game (like COD) built on Cryengine came out, that would be "the sh*t".

Yes,the AI can be/should be improved.I found Warheads AI pleasing,it never glitched on me so far(hope it never will)But yes,that's why no matter how i love Crysis i won't give it an 9 or 10 because of these things.Not like the Killzone 2 fanboys why cried because the game got an 8 and not a ten....man,those kids give me the creeps.Anyway,it's a lot harder to create AI for an open ended/sandbox game,than a linear/corridor shooter.COD 4 was great,i loved it bought it too,if MW2 can be better,i would be very happy.But no matter how how we twist it or turn it,that game was linear too,with smaller levels.

 

But in the end,i agree with you,the AI should be improved.I was satisfied with Warheads AI but it would be kick ass if they could make the AI better.And hopefully the german laws don't force the devs to apply such bad ragdoll physics like in the first game.It would be awsome to throw around dead bodies. biggrin.gif

 

Oh,and animations should be improved too.A little motion capture wouldn't hurt. wink.gif

 

But we should finish this cuz' the thread is really OFF rail now. biggrin.gif

I wasn't comparing COD4 AI with Crysis. COD has more or less dumb AI when you look at it, but the action area is fairly limited so you don't notice ti that much. It's like if you had two stupid kids, one sitting quietly and the other raising hell. Th loud one always risks to come off as stupid.

 

Crysis has nice and large levels, but I would like to see a more urban surrounding with possibly loads of heavy machinery in a destructible environment... did I hear anyone say "FUN"? You would then have the option to sneak in and out ninja stile or the demolish the whole place. I personally was never that interested in creeping up to the enemy biggrin.gif

 

Also, please, no aliens with 50 foot tentacles.
