stupid games or stupid players

I'm often reading about people unable to run some of todays games that well even though they have amazing PCs. Now are the creators of games just being stupied creating games that can't run on these setups never mind on the average gamers PC or is it the gamer?

I've been thinking about this as I see some people going insane with the res stupidly high and I think are these people a bit daft trying to play games over 1600 X and so on.

Why would anyone need to set game res over 1200+ X rex

F.E.A.R. dosn't have the option to go up to a res like 1280X1024 but on the max res it gives you it looks pefect. Watching the the videos of the making and so on on F.E.A.R. was intresting when they were talking about reflective water and lights in combat areas was intresting and they explayed how three soldiers on screen end up being like 12 becauses of the shadows and relections and so on.

meh.. i have yet to see the point in having a res over 1024x768

Most games will run silky smooth at that res and I think thats the kind of res game creators expect people to be playing their games at when they come up with recommended specs.

I used to always play my games at 800x600.

The only time I rasie my res past 1024x768 is if there is details I'm missing out like on peoples armour and so on or if likes been said in mmorpgs to make gaming and chatting and messing in my invent at the sametime easier.
