Yet you're posting as an AC.

... is a retarded Apple fanboy trying to justify his purchase. Of course the iPad is better, but saying Amazon and Google are harming the tablet market because of low prices is about as coherent as saying GNU/Linux being free is killing the PC market. The iPad will thrive alongside cheaper alternatives in an emergent market not driven by price, but by preferences. If I ever bought a tablet, I'd rather buy an Android one because I'm used to them and Apple's economic model annoys me, but I know the iPad's hardware is strictly better... Except this is a tablet. Not a gaming PC. I don't need a high end tablet because all I'll do is read, watch movies play simple games.

Dual analog controls aren't really a necesity, you know? And there *are* single player games. Until a console gives me interesting and original games like The Void, for example, they will still be the inferior experience.

That's a problem of games downgraded to play on consoles, either technically, or because console players want simple games to have fun, not necesarily ridiculously complex games like PC gamers. Bioshock II was still a great game, but it was strictly inferior to the first, and vastly less complicated and confusing. Your mileage will vary according to this though.

Actually, algorythm's aside, it acts like it should. They don't see you unless you move or make some noise. Crysis had a very advanced AI for the enemies, but it didn't mean they were these awesome soldiers. They were just realistic.

You don't really compare Deus Ex to GTA, dude.

Fucking Crysis II and its camouflaged enemies were nigh impossible to see at times.

In this case, we're talking about technical specs doing it, not gameplay choices.

"pretty high end LCD"

Actually, that was probably first found on Duke Nukem 3D or any of the build engine games... or any good FPS after Doom. Doom was a carnage based game, where level design was abstract and unrealistic because 22 years ago optimization was much more important than "detail". Detail isn't really arrows marking the boiler room. Detail is figuring out something works because it should work. Nowadays that's fairly easy: the point is that detail apparently can't go hand in hand with mainstream releases for much more of the same reason why Doom's cities looked like lego remains of a kid's creation: they focus on the extremely streamlined gameplay, probably because they know most gamers won't stop and marvel like a jackass as we did when you first played Crysis and watched the dawn.

I wasn't a fan either, but it was a well done game.

Really, really wrong.

lol @ the OS comment It had plenty of good, fun games, and the controller was actually easy to get into. Shows you probably never used one.

lol console gamers

I'm pretty sure you will find a way to claim it does, but that makes absolutely no sense.
