"the OP's statement said they should leave the field."
You assumed that those companies are struggling to contain hacking, when it isn't exactly true.
He said companies need to keep up, and keeping up is what those companies are doing.
In fact, he clearly says:
"If that's the case they would have quit doing Windows years ago."
Comparatively, hacking and piracy is much more dominant on windows. Y...
^ What kind of dictionary are you using? O.o
Hackers are just programmers following their curiosity (there's no real personal agenda). Just like kinect hackers that have developped new uses for the sensors.
They don't destroy anything. They modify.
Businesses do the same thing. Except they'll modify a piece of hardware and then sell it to you for a profit.
The storyline isn't exactly finished.
The setting is interesting and has a lot of potential which the first game didn't take full advantage of, and I wouldn't mind a sequel in the same setting.
The MP on the other hand is quite fun. The last patch for PC fixed most of my issues and I'm enjoying it.
Don't get the hate. =/
... Err, chips are hardware.
Hackers modify software in most cases.
Technology isn't tied down to hardware only. It has to be used and manipulated.
And quit using terms like "your kind", it makes you look like a complete douche.
Come do DDoS attacks with me bro.

"Apologies to anyone who's still looking forward to it but at this point Duke Nukem Forever will never live up to the hype. Instead it's going to show you tits, gore, feces and foul language by the metric fuckton."
That's living up to the hype in my books.
I have low standards.
Bite me.
... you mean aim-assist?
I also suppose you manually held the shift key while typing that.
... he's right.
Why would a self-respecting twenty-something be sitting on a plane to begin with?
They'd be sitting in the plane.
"Let Evil Knievel get on the plane."
:D
...how do you know what the 'whole true' experience is? There'd always be factors like sound systems and bigger TVs that'd change the experience.
With a PC, you might not be able to max the game, but you can tone down the settings to match your hardware.
With a console, you're stuck with low/medium settings.
The rest of the things aren't even much of an issue unless if you have an old PC that walks the line when it comes to sys...
That 60fps is pretty much why many stick to CoD to begin with.
You want history?
It's a mystery.
I like this list, even though I don't agree with it.
I like it.
Surprised by lack of MegaMan villains.
No, this doesn't only happen to Killzone.
That is a common tag line when talking about games that don't innovate but present everything in a polished manner.
^ I'm saying that the specs on the box are vague.
It's about as useful as someone saying that you need a car with four-wheels and two-doors to win a race. There's more factors that the box doesn't list.
Take for example the nVidia 6 series. There is a huge difference between a 6800 and a 6200.
That, and minimum requirements are just what's needed to run the game. That usually means 800p resolution and barely touching 30fps.
...
@Persistant
I already stated that the minimum specs don't mean anything concrete.
A PC having DX9 GPU with 256mb of VRAM isn't guaranteed to play anything. There's factors such as the shader clocks, fill rates... you know, the actual power of the card.
For example, my GPU is dx10 capable with 1gig of vram. Yet, a 7900GT which is DX9 and has 256mb vram, would kick my card's ass. My laptop has a dx11 card with 1gig ram, it'll also get beaten ...
"I have yet to see anybody, anywhere ever say PS3 is more powerful than PC!"
Scroll down. You'll see a stupid comment about it.
That isn't to say that Punisher's comment is retarded in itself, but there's morons everywhere. There's usually someone who'll praise the almighty cell over the PC whenever a PC/Console discussion pops up... along with someone else boasting about 32x AA, AF and a bunch of other numbers with acronyms.
...
^ Which laptops/PCs are you referring to that can play current gen games but are less powerful than a console? O.o
Unless if you consider 640x480 with 25fps as a playable game, you need something that is a few feet ahead of the consoles.
Though that depends on the game too. A source-engine game will run better than say, the x-ray engine (CallOfPripyat eats around 900mb ram) despite both engines being 'modern'.
"there is no such game made to date, no retail PC game, that if programmed for, that can't be done on today's HD consoles."
You're basing that off of minimum requirements, which are often (if not always) poorly stated.
Any Dx9 capable card with 256mb vram will not be able to run those games.
... and no, neither of those two games outspec Crysis's specifications at all.
Well, there's already a flood of private servers (which are often free and have more features) so it makes sense for them to just switch to free-to-play.
Though I thought it had become free since a long time ago.
No stalker.
=(
I'd replace Crysis with it.
