Yeah! Very true. But, one problem is where I come from data is somehow expensive. So, I'd rather use my data to surf the net than use it to play online. But, can I really use a very slow network to play online games to my taste? I guess, "NO".
The only time I can enjoy playing online here is when I go to the in-city where network is somewhat good. But, I can't do that just because I want to play game and I can't play game in a public place which is not a game house.
I use to see cool games online up for download free. However, I also can't put in 1gb in and then download fail on the way to 7gb download. And 1gb here is like 20 dollars. *sad*
True! But, when I'm browsing it doesn't matter if the network is slow or not even if it's going take more bandwidth than gaming because one can view the page progressively. And most times one pretty much has all the info even with a half-loaded page. However, if it's a game, a 5 minutes lag would probably mess everything up. Believe me, in as much as games don't take up bandwidth, I find it hard to play any game online without hiccups. The only game I play without trouble is a typing game that I do use to check my typing speed and race with other fast typists.I know what you mean about downloading the game, but regarding playing the game, gaming takes up hardly any bandwidth! Browsing the net uses a lot more bandwidth than playing a game.
I still love to play my favourite racing game on my PC... NFS most Wanted.. just loved it..
This is what I'm playing at the moment as well. Are you done with the story mode? I'm presently the number 4th most wanted racer right now, and I probably would have completed it by now. However, I always have less than 4 hours to play every week.
