Yes, you know a game is horrible because you haven't played it.

Congrats on not being brainwashed at all.

People do realize the truth that Battlefield is more tactical and realistic.
They just don't want to play that kind of game.

If it's easier to kill, it's also easier to die.

How does this make it successful anyways? By this logic, everyone would be playing hardcore. O.o

Why on earth would an analyst be able to predict lottery numbers?

These guys predict market trends, which aren't exactly random. Lottery numbers are randomly drawn.

There's a point to playing a game?

Also, what's with the CVG hate above?
I thought the article was counter-arguing that statement. =/

I hope steam does an encore sale at the end.

Otherwise, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Though, the game is worth the full $15 bucks anyways, but I should quit being a cheapo. =/
Hell, with a move like this, they deserve some extra cash just for being awesome.

I'm red/green colourblind so the portal on the right looks identical to the xbox green.
Looks kinda cool.

However, the black background at the top matches more with the PS3's black.

What do I care... I'll be getting the digital steam copy anyways. =/

No Bioshock Infinite and no Deus Ex.

Boy am I sad.
Sad boy I am.

You can get ME2 for $10 on steam.
... and it can be played in 3D if you have the setup.

Meh, have fun arguing over who gets the 2nd best version.

Saying CoD runs on Quake is like saying all of Valve's games run on Quake.
Both the IW-engine and the Source (and GoldSource) engine use Quake as a base, but it's heavily modified to the point that it isn't even recognizable. No-one even bothers even mentioning that because they're practically their own engines now.

Not sure how you can say that it wasn't designed for the purpose. An engine can usually be modified and changed and starting from scra...

... but it isn't the same game. (Arguably, it's much worse if you want to be negative about it.) It has had changes with each iteration.
If CoD hasn't changed since CoD4, then by that logic, most sequels are also in the same pit.

What stress is the engine being put through? It's a small number of players in small maps. Nothing really stressful going on there.
A new engine would end up changing the shooting mechanics that so many love about CoD....

I remember Half-Life's expansions got criticized for being only 6-hour long... which was deemed short even for an expansion.
Now there's 6 hour long full-fledged retail games.

I don't see much quality in it either. There's a few well-paced games such as Portal, but overall, I haven't seen improved quality over what was offered in the previous gens. It's just getting shorter and prettier. Even replay value seems to be lower due to most games bei...

Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test?

I think watching someone playing mario can really tell you in which direction their career is headed.

Aye. Linking to the store page just shows me american prices.
OrangeBox is $8 (was like $7.50 a few weeks ago)

Valve pack is $50 at 72% off... it was $25 for a short period of time. Usually £1 = $1.
Oh well, great deal for y'europeans.
=)

If someone did notice, then they're reading too much into things. Every game was given a Suceed/Fail Breakdown. They aren't singling it out.

...?

I saw it for $25 too, but I figured I'd grab it later in the day.
I come back and it's $50. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Is it still £25 for y'folks across the pond?
Granted, I have almost all the valve games anyways, but I figured it'd make a good gift.

... how short is your lifetime? O.o

The only issue so far is that not everyone is hooked to the net. That can change within half a decade.

Movies are almost on the point of being digitally distributed as well as games on the PC... console games will follow shortly down the same road.
Publishers hate the used game trade, so they'll be keen to thwart out retail too. Cut the middle man.
