would you guys upgrade your graphics cards and other parts to stay from the range of next gen consoles?
Most people here have systems that make next gen consoles cry. As for myself? I don't have much spending money and my current config still works very well. (though I am not a stickler for getting say "ultra graphics" vs say "medium" when all that changes is how far you can see.
Though that PS4 unveiling didn't tell us much about the tech specs of the system. All it said is that it would be easier for lazy devs to be lazy and get away with it when it comes to porting. Which IMO isn't that great in my eyes.
Still using an Athlon 2 x3 + 6870 and I don't feel a need to upgrade yet. Though I might be a bit biased as I had been using a pentium 4 for a good while before getting the money to build my own rig.
I suppose the only time I feel I NEED to upgrade would be when I am forced to play games on a mix of medium/low settings.
I keep trying to think of games I can't put on highest quality settings and not have lag besides crysis and the witcher 2.
I am more focused on story lines in games than graphics, or just fun gameplay in general. Hence why I just bought a 3ds as JRPGs are a genre I find fun, and thats why I still have a copy of GTA:SA after all these years on my PC. Deleted GTA 4 though, didn't find that game fun, they took out to much of the fun things in SA
Also OP based on your views I take it you don't play VNs or read books? You are missing out man. Loads of good story lines in VNs.
I have a feeling this post is a bit long so I will sum it up. Gameplay/story > graphics
