No. GTFO..

Nah but really the convo is about the fact they make games for xbox & ps3 and then port them to PC.. So ultimately the games are designed to run with sub par graphics according to todays standards..

Not even todays, more like 4? 5? 6? generations of hardware ago standard.

Wow, you guys are seriously arguing about PC vs Console?

Really?

Seems to be more like pure-geek vs semi-geek argument. Even if you win, you still lose.

Well we are in the geek section of the forums, so stands to reason there is such a debate! :D

I'll throw this little nugget in..

Do you really think that half the games that come out multi-platform would have the budget/be of as good quality if they were PC only?

Of course there will always be exceptions (valve for one), but I like to think that the popularity of consoles has on the whole been good for PC gaming.

I've seen my mate play black ops on the computer. Makes you look like a fkn retard trying to play. I can't do it. And your fingers would be f**ked after an hour. Controller is much easier. also I like to play on a 50 inch tv and not a monitor :D

Pfft shooters are awesome on console. Basically the main type of games I play.

I just love the fact you can play a console with a room full of people, having some drinks, talking, listening to music and whatever and have fun.

You can' do that with a PC.

No shit PC's are great. They are basically an upgradable console (or a console is simply an outdated PC). That aint the point. It's the fact you can't play it in a lounge room on a 52" TV and have 30 people in the room (and if you have converted a PC to do that, well you basically have a console you knob).

As much as I used to play a lot of PC games I just don't ejoy them any more as I get older. Laying on a couch in the lounge room is my style.

Heaps of dudes ditching PS3 for Xbox, lol.

According to Retailers, Perturbed PS3 Owners are Ditching the Platform, Migrating to 360

Drew Cohen — They're sick of waiting. And now some are crossing over to the other side.

According to a report in EDGE Magazine, retailers in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe are claiming a dramatic increase in the number of customers trading-in PS3 units—either for cash, or, in many instances, toward the purchase of an Xbox 360.

One source in Belgium told the magazine that "just ten days into the month and already we have an increase of 200 per cent in PS3s coming into the store compared to all of March. Normally we sell them really fast, but not this time. We've only sold 30 to 40 per cent of our inventory right now."

Another retailer speaking to the magazine classified those gamers most put-off by the PSN outage—and thus most willing to defect to the competition—as those involved in the "the hardcore online shooter crowd." Unsurprisingly, there are corresponding reports of mass trade-ins of PS3 copies of titles like Call Of Duty: Black Ops and FIFA Soccer 11, as well as cancellations of pre-orders for Brink—all which rely upon their online component as elements of crucial interest.

These customers might represent only a very extreme (and easily perturbed) portion of Sony's consumer base. But that oughtn't be grounds for assurance—these customers could also be the hardest for the company to win back.

All these "hardcore" PC guys always talk about using a mouse.

Because its the best! :yes:

I don't see how you can aim properly without a mouse...

I play all my games on my PC with a Xbox 360 controller except FPS game, which is keyboard + mouse.

Or do you simply have a HTPC that can't do 90% of the things a HTPC should? It's a strange way to look at it. A HTPC filling the same role would do all those things except be your friend and keep the drinks cold. Unless it was built in a Companion cube and you wanted hot drinks. Then it can do everything.

A console is a 1-2 purpose PC, there's no getting around that, it is the same albeit much older hardware with a different interface. That's it.

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
