Perhaps if you'd played games on a machine that is actually set up for gaming you would have an idea of what I'm trying to say.. Then again what do we look for when we play a game? For many it's the chance to play some sort of character in an epic struggle or try something that in 'real-life' would never get the chance.. Obviously some games are better at presenting this idealised scenario than others and one can see why budgets for games are now in the order of 30-40 million.. Then again it doesn't matter how much money is thrown at a project if the player cannot visualise the concept or grasp the intention. Perhaps it's probably better if that person just didn't bother playing games at all as disappointment would always be a constant factor.. For some, just playing 'Bejeweled' will seem exciting and out of this world, for others it needs to be games like Crysis, where player immersion is almost total. For me.... Just being able to play the game, whatever the game, is good enough.
