very best games on the market. In fact SW: The Force Unleashed came out in 2008 on consoles and had to wait a year before releasing on PC because the prices of the PCs advanced enough to run it were too high(~4000 USD).

You are incredibly stupid if you believed what the developers stated about TFU not being released on the PC initially due to it needing to cost $4000, you DO know that a PC at that time that only costs $800 with a single geforce 8800GT(which alone is more powerful than both consoles graphical capabilities) can run CRYSIS, a game which has VASTLY superior graphics and physics compared to TFU?

And along with the fact that that rig i mentioned now is DIRT cheap and already more powerful than you precious littleheater? Im sick and tired of 15 year old kids like yourself calling other people elitists when you are incredibly ignorant and being an elitist yourself.


Except that the game was released on the PC a year later with system specs sending PC gamers into shock.....the headlines of the news were along the lines "do you believe them now?" in regards to the PC gamers that went in a rage a year earlier when they were told the truth about what kind of pricy PC they'd need to run the game.

not to fan the flames, but -

XBOX 360's are just very specifically built PCs, all you 360 owners (this includes me, mind you) should know this.
The parts in the 360 are PC parts. It's just a very specific build.
A build that was out of date when the console went on sale - thus is the fate of console development.

Anything a 360 can do a PC can do - because a 360 is a PC. The difference is that a PC is most likely able to do more, because they can be upgraded and are not straight-jacketed by implemented design limitations.

Once you understand this simple fact - that the 360 specifically and consoles in general are just computers who's parts are out of date when they first hit the shelves on release - you will understand how PCs are, factually, more powerful and able to do more. Period. This is not opinion.

Now specializing does have benefits, and even with out of date hardware being able to code for a very specific build of hardware allows for many software tricks that no PC game would ever be able to get away with due to the myriad of hardware builds out there for PC's (especially considering home built.) And consoles are designed with gameplay and ease of use in mind.

Which you prefer to use is personal preference, opinion, and there is no right nor wrong answer.

But to EVER try and argue that consoles can do more, or that console games are more powerful or "better" in the sense graphics, sound, etc., than PC games, is simply false.

This is not elitism. This is like saying an SUV is bigger and handles a wider range of terrain than a compact car. That doesn't mean you preferring to drive compacts makes you wrong - but it does make you wrong if you try to argue that compacts are larger vehicles or better at off road.

Console wars can go into Off Topic-- or onto some other forum, if you prefer. If you want to discuss this aspect of DA2, I'd suggest trying it with a thread title that doesn't immediately spark hostility.

TFU on PC:
*30fps max
*With a killer computer you will drop to 5fps at most of the locations in the world
*The controlls felt like someone had abit to much to drink when they made them
*The camera OH MY GOD ... THE CAMERA *Runs around screaming*

One of the worst things i have ever paid for. Everything on the PC version is horrible on that game.

Well that hit the nail on the head, didn't it?
