[citation][nom]amk-aka-phantom[/nom]Your argument is flawed already. I'm a true gamer, but I'm not "competitive". I play for immersion, so I will bitch about immersion being broken by shitty graphics. I honestly don't care whether I'm better at fragging people in multiplayer (though I DO enjoy a good LAN match in Dawn of War or custom WC3 map), I have better things to do with my time. Not saying MP is bad... it's just my preference not to play it... but the point is that your conception of a "true gamer" is messed up. Odds are that you're a console player. Am I right? In this case, try any of your console stuff on a good PC and then tell us if you still wanna come back to the shitty dumbed down blurry jerky console graphics. You might not care about graphics, but why purposefully go for worse?[/citation]
I true gamer doesn't play for immersion, they play for the game play; hence the word GAMER, and not IMMERSION-ER. Want immersion? Go watch a 3D movie.
I play PS2 games still and have no issues with the graphics. Why? Because the games are fun as shit. THAT, my friend, is a true gamer.
