It saddens me to see the day that PC gamers get delayed, and console's get first priority. Don't take me wrong, we screwed ourselves with torrents and Piracy, but companies like EA and Microsoft with their DRM and security measures is ticking off what few Legit PC gamers are left.
Spore I believe showed EA that even though Piracy is high, if you tempt the PC community, we will screw you.
Mirrors Edge, Delayed to remove Strict DRM??? We will just have to wait and see....
Worked great for Halo 2, CounterStrike, Unreal, Any game that featured LAN play. Even Halo 1 worked with it.
Now it isn't Xbox Live, So don't expect fast connections and streamed lined searching for games, stats, achievements. But for the poor man looking for a quick fun game, it works.
Great for those people with Modded Xbox's, and also works with PSP network games.
EA's been messing up ever since they forgot what gamers wanted, started buying out great developers, and started to think about money.
Just telling the pirate community that they can't crack it, or it is going to have tight DRM is just going to provoke them to get them crack it faster.
Microsoft releases free stuff, no problems appear.
But as soon as something worth it comes out, bugs appear and plague the xbox for days to weeks.
just a note
Does that mean we get Phasers and Proton Torpedoes?
I'd vote for plasma beams actually.
i am pumped about this weeks RB downloads, maybe this is a sign of a good trend coming up.
For being such a great company, they didn't impress me.
Now i do have to ask, how in the hell did they get FF13, and will it still be on the ps3?
we know this already, a lot of people guessing the songs at are on RB2.
I agree with you on the week old news too.
It could turn into the first Major Game Developers Battle.
As much as i like Rockband, I do want to see EA/Viacom get their rear handed to them, but i don't like the idea of no more Rockband.
In a world like today, money can solve most issues, I am sure it will come to this. Every dollar Viacom makes from youtube/google crap will go to Konami, and EA will BS their way out of this one.
Business Karma
Great idea, but to call it master chief would be giving Micro$oft the benefit of the doubt.
Now don't take me wrong, they would do something like this to move consoles and numbers, but i doubt that Lionhead would deliberately put that in there.
If they did put a helmet in there like that, then man, give me some others, storm troopers? Darth Vador? Link? Samus?
Bubble for you.
And if you think about it, the price for both consoles is still less then a Serious PC gamer will pay for his rig, i know first hand.
If Final Fantasy 4 wasn't enough to get a DS, Chrono Trigger is more then enough.
Two of my favorite RPG's of all time. WOOT
For the console reason, i remember when they were trying to get the CoD4 maps on XBL, they wanted them to be free, but Microsoft required a price for them, which Developers don't get to see much of.
I specifically remember Epic trying to put their maps up for free on XBL, but Microsoft wouldn't let them, same with Valve and everyone else.
If anything, blame Microsoft and Sony for charging a digital Stocking fee.
They found Wow 6 months ago, and it takes about that long to suck your life away.
Good to see more people getting faster internet, But i doubt it will be anytime soon when we see more dual core processors and 16:9 screens with the economy for the dogs right now.
2 years, and pc gaming will be back in the ring. contending with the consoles and blowing them away.
and for the guy up there. Crysis rocked if you were willing to get what you need. for 150$, you can get a GPU that can run it at 25 fps decently
When i played under DirectX 10, it would lock up in 15 minutes, and i would have to do a hard reboot of the machine. When i ran under DirectX 9 it worked fine.
If they fixed that, then i will be very very happy, and i will gladly put down my console version and play through this game on the pc.
even though you may have your precious PS3, give the pc players time and we will have better. Already my computer looks better then most games on the market for Ps3 and 360.
yes it is more expensive, but i would rather pay for the upgrades and get to use my choice of controller or keyboard/mouse
COD4 isn't the same without the Key/mouse. And many developers are still making great games for pc.
Shadows of the Collusus for PS2
If GTA4 took the lead for more then 2 weeks I would be shocked.
Yes, it may have sold more then Halo 3, but it sold over 2 consoles, and to tell you the truth, it isn't as big as the internet makes it to be.
and it updates when i am off the computer, damn MM and Sony.
May all your servers crash and stay down.
I really don't care if i get in Beta anymore, if it takes that much work to just get a game 1 month early, just to lose everything i do before it releases.
Thank goodness I at least got it pre-ordered.
True server test, release a public beta on PSN and see if MM's and Sony's Servers can take the Load, instead of Screwing over all the othe...
