Message: [QUOTE="sandogma, post: 214591, member: 713"] After [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][B]PS2 [/B][/COLOR]I started getting into PC gaming. I bought a [COLOR=rgb(235, 107, 86)][B]ATI Radeon 9600XT [/B][/COLOR]to pair with my Intel Pentium III ([SIZE=3][I]which I'm ashamed to admit I swapped with my older Celeron from my former girlfriends mothers new computer[/I][/SIZE]). I bought that card primarily for two games, Half-Life 2 and Doom 3. But even with this new and expensive (for me at the time) graphics card, I still struggled running both games at anything other than medium settings (low settings for Doom 3). While I still enjoyed both games, [B]I realized PC gaming really is an expensive hobby if you are trying to experience the latest and greatest.[/B] Then a year later, the PS3 and 360 come out. Up to that point I was team [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][B]PS3[/B][/COLOR], until the I saw that price. There was no game they showcased that justified the price to me so I was going to wait to later when I could afford it. Then one day I went to a friends house who recently got a [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)][B]360 [/B][/COLOR]and I saw [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Gears of War [/B][/COLOR]for the first time. As soon as I saw Dom sprinting and the camera switching to "[B]roadie run[/B]", where the game camera shifts and bobs as if a cameraman is running behind the character, I was sold. It looked so realistic and I was totally immersed just watching my friend play. It was that game, along with the fact that the 360 and Gears of War combined were still cheaper than the PS3 console alone, that got me to team Xbox... for that one generation lol [/QUOTE]
