"Also I want a wheel, never had one or tried one. What wheel gives the best bang for your buck?"
I'm not quite sure which one it might be these days, I've had my G25 since it was first released back in 2006.
Prior to that I had a Logitech Driving Force Pro, and before that the cheap, original blue/black Driving Force (which felt like a plastic toy compared to even the DFP, but still provided an experience with the PC racing sims I played that was ...
I love my Move controllers (both of them, plus Nav Controller), but for racing games? That's gotta be a joke?
Even if I didn't have my Logitech G25 wheel, I'd certainly pick a gamepad over awkward arm flailing (with Move controller or Kinect) any day when it comes to driving a virtual car.
I'm just gonna be lazy and copy a post I made on an IGN article ten minutes ago :).
I've been enjoying the PC version for the last two days, but it's a damn shame that the car handling and physics are a significant step down from the fairly competent effort they made with TDU1.
And it certainly doesn't make things any better that I've yet to find a single person on the official forum with the PC version, who actually has any kind of f...
The only issue I've run into so far - but a HUGE one at that - is the complete and utter lack of force feedback (except for basic vibration effects) with my Logitech G25 wheel. And many others have reported the same for a variety of wheels from Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec.
In fact I've yet to see anyone at all confirm that they actually have working force feedback in the PC version.
"NFS Shift was about as arcadey as it got"
That's a rather gross exaggeration. I've been a big racing game fan for the last decade, enjoying just everything from pure arcade racer like Burnout, FlatOut and the new NFS Hot Pursuit, to PC sim racers (played with wheels and pedals of course, a Logitech G25 for the last four years) like GTR1+2, rFactor, LFS, netKar Pro and iRacing.
NFS Shift (I played the PS3 version with my G25) was a sever...
Sheep are cool. They might just be what it takes to convince me to take yet another stab at playing JRPGs.
Assuming of course they aren't androgynous sheep with spiky fleece, moping around bitching about their sorry lives while trying to save the world with a flock of like minded teenage sheep.
Is it possible to comfortably sit down with the Sharpshooter attachment? If it's too awkward I'll just have to get used to Move in one hand, Nav Controller in the other - which seems to be working just fine so far, but does need a continually steady Move hand if you don't want any too erratic camera movements.
I was surprised to see Secret World on that list. I thought most MMO developers had given up on the 360 as a platform possibility, given the closed nature of XBL (and the apparently inability to get dispensation to run their own servers and patching system, as I believe FFXI does)?
And this particular game is from Funcom, who also once upon a time promised that Age of Conan was coming for XBox 360.
Clearly you and I watch very different types of porn :).
And to think there are actually still people and companies who think physical media will be a thing of the past in just a few years.
Not likely if additional countries start capping bandwidth, in addition to the problem with fast broadband connections apparently not being available everywhere.
I'm sure I could get by with less than my current 50 Mbit connection, but download caps must be incredibly infuriating.
I just checked the traffic repo...
I'm both a PS3 and PC gamer (and once upon a time a 360 gamer as well, but it died and I never saw any good reason to replace it), and ME2 is not the least bit overhyped in my opinion - and neither of the Mass Effect games were 360 exclusives anyway, so they would have been somewhat useless as trump cards in the "console war" (something I guess can actually be said about the Gears of War games as well? Aren't they both also available on PC?).
I've play...
"Two Worlds II is no doubt one of the most highly anticipated RPG to hit North America this year"
It's pretty good, but eight hours into the PC version (and nothing compelling me to play more than sporadically every few days, instead of obsessively as I do with better games) I definitely don't feel it's quite worthy of those kinds of lofty expectations.
So are they saying that the rest of us should be denied the experience just because a substantial amount of people can't enjoy it?
I live in a rather flat country - ban rock climbing!
I don't get laid as often as I'd like - ban sex! :)
I clearly don't watch enough American porn, I only knew six of those girls :p.
Good choice, it's been my browser of choice for the last six years or so.
I do like Firefox and Chrome as well, but whenever I've decided to give them a proper try, I've always found myself going back to Opera within a matter of weeks.
I wonder if the small screen are making matters worse for some people?
I have no problems at all with 3D movies at the cinema, nor the 3D TVs I've tried with active shutter glasses, but I have problems using my iPod Touch or my PSP for more than 15-20 minutes at a time without feeling a headache coming on quickly (my PSP has seen preciously little use since I bought it a couple of years ago for that same reason, and I pretty much only use my iPod for music) - I'm no...
Can't I just buy both? SWTOR is a long way from release anyway, isn't it?
There's probably a 99% chance I'll have played and gotten bored with at least two other MMOs before then, RIFT likely being one of them (and DCUO, which I'm having a blast with at the moment, but probably not forever, another).
I'm guilty of just hammering the same weapon button most of the time with my characters (none of them higher than level 8 yet) - plus mixing in power use of course.
By combos do you mean just stringing together random variations of (on PS3) square and triangle (melee and ranged) button hits, or making use of the special weapon attacks you can unlock with skill points (which I do try to use when appropriate)?
Aren't most major corporations suing people (and getting sued) all the time?
It's just that nine times out of ten it's not over matters that make for interesting headlines.
A top ten list of Mac games - I take it that's all of them then? :p
Actually I can see that they have no less than 169 games in the Mac section of Steam already.
I'm a bit surprised to see games like Assassin's Creed II and Two Worlds II though - do they actually run natively under OS X, or do they require some sort of Windows emulation or proper dual boot (but then I guess they shouldn't be listed under the Mac section, so I take it they must run n...
