Damn, Verb. For a guy that brought up the "argument pyramid" when we were talking about drugs, you're sure quick on the draw with that ad hominem :^)
Calling you a dumbass =/= ad hominem.

Ad hominem would be if I said, "You don't know, because you're German" or something stupid like that.
Generic insults aren't ad hominem.
Calling someone a dumbass is ad hominem.
You're verbally attacking her/him.

That one isn't opinion based. Games can easily look better when running at a higher power, there is no opinion about that. Whether it matters to YOU personally or not is a different story, but to say it doesn't look/perform better is just flat out a lie.
Define "better", then. Maybe I actually prefer graphics to be lower poly, or whatever. Maybe I like that. Maybe that's better in a different sense then you're thinking of.
You seem like the type of guy to argue that the systematic oppression of women in islamic cultures is fine because it's "muh culture"

That's not meant in a literal sense, by the way, because I know you don't. I'm just saying that going "WELL MAYBE I THINK THAT A GAME IS BETTER IF IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT" is a stupid argument

Console wars aside, the next generation of consoles were insanely outdated before they even came out, and they already reached the top graphical performance they could.

Where as the 360/PS3 easily evolved because of the technology packed into it. They didn't do the same for next gen because of the price it would cost them.

As for the second point, it's literally just a fact. It really doesn't matter if consoles were used first because we're not talking about Pong and Asteroids, now are we? Fact is that games like Halo, Bloodborne, Gears of War, and so on would be easily made for and ported to PC, but the gaming companies do not do so to raise the sales of their gaming consoles. As I said before, Halo didn't become exclusive until the release of the 360. Halo 3 was restricted to the Xbox, whereas 1 and 2 were available on PC as well.
Even if that were true--it's not, and you're insane for believing it--consoles are still better, because they have those games. The bottom line should always be the games. Not how the games perform--but the games.

As I said, your personal preference shouldn't influence the factual things we're talking about.

I'm not attacking what you like. You can like PS1 looking polygons with Lara Croft pointy tits, but that won't change the fact that modern games on higher performing systems will look better.

But I guess in the end -- Sort of feels like everyday its harder to stay happy where you are. There are all these ways to look through the fence into your neighbor's yard.

Why even risk it? its safer to stay distant.

You seem like the type of guy to argue that the systematic oppression of women in islamic cultures is fine because it's "muh culture"

That's not meant in a literal sense, by the way, because I know you don't. I'm just saying that going "WELL MAYBE I THINK THAT A GAME IS BETTER IF IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT" is a stupid argument
Cultural relativism isn't a great comparison, but whatever.

If you're filming a movie that's designed to authenticate the experience of living in the '70s, the director has the opportunity to make an artistic decision: Film in 30fps, because they couldn't film any better than that in the '70s. Artistically, that's the better decision. 30fps is BETTER than 60fps in that context. Has that ever been done before? I don't know, but there's another example.

Have you seen Raging Bull? Great movie. Martin Scorsese made it in 1980. However, he chose to film it in black and white.

Why? I'm not sure. But it was his artistic decision, and some might argue that the movie would be worse if it was in color. Yes--Black and white is better than color, in that context.

That's the point I'm making.

Most cinema runs in 25fps

We're not talking about movies (even though they run at 24 fps for the majority of them)

and the 30 vs 60fps game into play, so I'm opting out.

Verb when I said FPS drops I meant things that are running at 30 dropping below it and making it choppy

and 60 fps games also dipping into the 40's as well.

Now you may not be a fan of the whole 60fps thing, but even you can agree that if frames aren't steady, be it 30 or 60, it can be extremely jarring. In fact one of the more interesting games I wanted to look at on PS3 I avoided because of reports it CONSTANTLY dipped to 20 and blow. That's just bad.

Do you understand what I'm asking you? Why is higher poly objectively "better"? Why does "more" automatically mean "better"?

If you know, you know.
mommy and daddy never forked out for an 800 gaming rig for me. I want to play games so never could commit for saving up money for it myself. I could commit 380 euros to get consoles so yeah...
