Oblivion: Xbox 360 vs. PC

Apr 17th 2006 1:28AM (Joystiq)
I really don't understand where you even get the notion that pc users would need to spend tons of money on upgrading their system. My system is 2.3 ghz amd athlon, 1 gig kt400 ram, and recently purchased a Nvidia 7800 gs. Even using agp 8x I can run Oblivion in 1300 something by 768 res with 100 percent of the effects turned up. No problems in big battles in the grass (which is actually not popping up 10 feet in front of the character like the xbox 360's) That was 300 dollars and with the system I had since 2002. I'm not going to even get into the huge graphical advantage pc has over xbox 360's lack of image sharpening. My brother has a 360 and to me its blurry. My ancient system (besides the vid card) runs that game perfectly and very fast with no slowing. And just about that game in specific who wouldn't want to have keys binded for spells lol ya know. But the stats on the 360 are very nice for what little I understand about them. Maybe they aren't putting the effort into the games that they should and trying to spread out its life. Or just hyped up. All I know is just with my pathetic system I haven't yet seen anything great from the 360. Which doesn't say much if they are pushing the system at all at this point. Only time will tell but for the low price they do offer it at (the 360) you might be just getting what you pay for.
