Steam didn't offer much in those days. It was basically always online DRM that was shoved out with Half Life 2. And people absolutely hated it. I hated it at the time as well.
Of course that always online DRM happened to turn into the worlds largest and most progressive digital distribution service for games, but that didn't happen over night. It was a long journey for Steam to go from being complete bullshit to what it is today.
There are so many...
It's been out two weeks. You can't say it's taking a long time for new features to come after two weeks.
It takes time to add and properly test completely new features. I knew the Xbox was going to fare worse than the PS4 in this regard for a couple reasons though.
Reason one, it's Microsoft. This is how they do things. Windows 8 wasn't so much a bad OS as it was a mishmash of unfinished ideas leading to having to rely on both the metr...
It's perfectly possible to be burned out on a genre. I burned out on RTS back in the days of C&C Red Alert, and haven't been able to enjoy them since.
I've since burned out on shooters for the most part too. It takes something really exceptional at this point like Metro Last light to get me to play one.
I thought I might be burned out on open world too, but GTAV and Black Flag both had me super interested. So a good open world game can stil...
Crack, lots and lots of glorious crack.
Watch out! The WIIU defender is warning you!
It would probably be even less well received if they named it UMightPlayButProbablyNot. Which would be more accurate.
This is the worst thing about this generation so far. UBI and EA bringing their fucking awful login required services to the PS4 and Xbox One.
God I hate Uplay. If anything makes Origin look good by comparison you know it sucks.
Yeah, and the witcher had so many they should call it the bitcher.
I think they started making them before August.
The logistics of having that many units at launch are massive. Foxconn had to step up their human rights violations to new levels as a result.
If they tried to ready 10 million units the Foxconn suicide watch would have to go into overdrive.
I presume something like a PS4 is more intensive to manufacture than say the iphone, which usually launches with nearly 10 million units day 1.
If I lived there I would too. It's so convenient to get around in Europe I actually found it fun. I was like some kind of goof riding round on the metro like it was a Disneyland ride.
Want to go to another City, get on the Eurostar and off you go. Amazing transportation compared to North America.
I remember when nVidia was talking like the PC was dead. Remember when Jen Hsun was beaking off about how no one plays pc games anymore anyway, and that Mac, and mobile was where it's at?
I guess that PC market matters a lot more to them now when AMD is also sidling up next to Valve with mantle on the Steambox.
That's where Don Matrick really went, he's out looking for the ring.
Hey it's about as likely to happen as the power of the cloud.
No they can't use blast processing, because it will blast the cloud away and then they won't have the (mystical sounding voice) "infinite power of the cloud".
This article is only going to make misterx go fully off the deep end. There'll be no shutting him up now.
Actually what am I saying, he already went off the deep end, and dug a hole so deep he's probably technically in Australia.

Yeah, well I'd really like my games and experiences to be in native 1080p as well as being great games.
Which is why I chose the PS4.
An interview with Microsoft must be the most frustrating thing in the world...
Interviewer: What do you say to critics who say that your console is underpowered?
Microsoft: Why yes, thank you for noticing that the Xbox One is the most powerful console ever. Have you heard about the cloud, with it it becomes one billion times more powerful than a Texas instruments TI-83!
Interviewer: Um you didn't answer the question, and none of that is ...
Yes, lets remove graphics from the games entirely and go back to MUDs and text adventures. Zork here I come! Oh my god the gameplay, the wonderful wonderful gameplay!
Of course it sucks. It's the same as Windows 8 "metro" and it's awful multitasking.
It's funny because everything on the Xbox One works about as well as I expected. That is to say it's laggy, and the voice features are very limited and you have to shout at the thing and sound like an idiot.
I watched that presentation video they did of the UI that everyone raved over and thought, yeah, that's a load of bullshit. And it was, an...
You guys aren't fooling anyone. Steam called all of you on your bullshit long ago and continues to make fools of you with their sales.
I don't hate Microsoft at all.
I've actually enthusiastically tried every Microsoft OS ever made since Dos 6.2. I think Windows 7 is the best thing they ever did and it's a shame to see them go from a high note like that to where they are now. I even use Windows 8 on my home computer, despite it's flaws, because there are a few improvements over 7 in the underpinnings that I find it worth using for. And of course because I got a super cheap upgrade price fo...
Guess they should of tightened up the graphics on level 3.
