I thought that Valve bought digital licenses from the developers/publishers, for whatever set price. Similar to how brick and mortar shops buy physical copies.

The licenses are paid for. Valve can turn around and sell them off for whatever they want. Its win-win-win. Publishers get paid, gamers get great deals, and Valve gets happy and new customers. If you look at the big picture, this probably gets Valve more profit in the long run.

I play it on PC and love it as well. I have heard though that the 360 version doesn't really hold up to the PC in terms of visuals and AI.

The truly said thing is that when the next iteration of this game comes out, all the sheep will completely forget about the past two episodes and the whole thing will start all over again. It's hopeless at this point.

How/why is this news? I quit playing WoW probably close to 4 years ago, and still get a scam email for wow about once every 3 days.

Thats kinda the point though. Sure, you can make a console have the exact same graphics as as high end pc. You'll be limited to a game stuck in a tiny room getting <30fps, so what would be the point? The great thing about pc's power is that you can have those graphics, a good frame rate and a large open world. (Not to mention throwing in great physics, lighting and animations)

"Pc not more powerful than the PS3"

Lol, and somebody even agreed with this...

For $1500 you better be building at least 2 gaming PC's.

I haven't played it yet, so I can only speculate, but I imagine finishing the game would probably consist of getting all licenses and completing the story mode. Not to say there wouldn't be near infinite replay value. Again, speculation.

"I think they should force you to Platinum/1000G"

Lol, a little excessive, but I do think they should at least finish a game (where applicable) to do a fair review.

I still think the best snowoboarding games, aside from coolboarders, were the Amped series. Until Amped 3 that is...they somehow completely screwed that one up.

@Aloren

People point out that a title is not an exclusive to those whom try to justify one system being better than another because of having said title.

Direct from Bethesda:

"Seeing lots of speculation about #tesv game engine. It's brand new... and it's spectacular!"

I've been following it loosely, and it's one I have my eye on. Though GW2 is what I'm most looking forward to.

"5 Best Upcoming Games"

3 of which have already been released...

Edit: My mistake, he's not counting some of the games as existing on consoles.

LoL

Because "Rift is set to compete with other top MMORPG games out there such as Runescape"

I know alot of people play Runescape, but didn't realize it was THE title to beat now ;p

@gcolley

People bring up $500M because that's the approx. amount of money M$ is spending on Kinect marketing alone. With that kind of marketing budget, its not really the product selling itself anymore, and alot of people like to point that out. Do you honestly think Kinect would have a fraction of its sales if they only spent a few million on advertising like most products?

@Lazy One

That's true, but at the same time, look at how much money Microsoft is throwing at kinect vs how much it is giving to its core developers. (Hint: its been closing first party studios while treating kinect like a new console launch.)

I'd like to hope this is real, but its kind of hard to believe they'd have such an easy to read chart of all this data, that at the same time is completely top secret.

@Battleaxe

No offense to you, but seriously? You're playing a shooter on the PC using a 360 controller? That's crazy talk. Get used to the mouse and keyboard and you'll never look back.

You're close, but not quite there. True 1:1 requires positioning and speed. The very definition of 1:1 means they are IDENTICAL. One equals the other. At any given moment, if I'm aiming up and the avatar is aiming down, that's not 1:1.
It is true, there are no input devices that give you exact 1:1 input, they all have some lag. Its just that some devices come much closer than others.
