• Re: Modern Warfare 2 becomes huge PC success
  

  The outcry just seemed like a big deal to us because we are steeped in the gaming community. The actual number of people who care about gaming enough to know it was a step backwards is quite small. It's a huge mainstream game. I'd be willing to bet most people who bought it, even on PC, were not even aware of what had changed. ... view replies




• Re: ModNation Racers videos are mod-tastic... or something
  

  I don't really get the appeal of a game that bases itself around user content. I like user content, but I think it should be something that builds up around a solid game, not the main selling point of the game. I guess it kinda has to be like this on a console game though. ... view replies

• Re: Ultimate cheapassery: The 2-hour Torchlight demo
  

  The regular demo went up to the first boss, that took me at least an hour. I guess if you speed run you might get to see more of the game but I don't really see the point. I like to take it at my own pace. That demo defiantly saved my characters progress and transfered it to the full game when I got it, so I'd assume this one does too. ... view replies

• Re: This what No More Heroes looks like on Xbox 360
  

  It looks sharper overall, but what happened to the shaded look? I felt that was a kind of visual trademark in the games.
  It's cool to see this, but I'm not sure I'd pay to play it again. If I could get hi-def videos of some of the cutscenes that would be enough for me. ... view replies




• Re: Modern Warfare 2 pulls in $550 million in five days
  

  Not surprising, I rarely hear video games mentioned in my everyday life. I heard jocks and chavs discussing their experience at the midnight launch. And then nearly coming to blows over the effectiveness of the P-90.
  It makes me feel a bit disappointed, I honestly think there are games much more deserving of just a fraction of this success. ... view replies

  So, they wanted to push the cutting edge as opposed to make lots of mass market money? I wouldn't criticize people for doing that, unless I was a stock holder for them. As a gamer I like it. I just wish they could continue to do it. It just doesn't seem very sustainable. ... view replies

• Re: This is what the Modern Warfare 2 boycotters are playing
  

  Its inevitable that the first people to start and join groups like these are people who really cared about the game. It's hard to walk away from that. I was pretty lucky that it was easy for me not to buy it. Personally, I felt like I had missed out on not buying CoD4 and was looking to get in on the ground floor this time around with the PC version. After the revelation about how they were handling the game, I decided against it. I didn't join a group, I didn't tell anyone else not to buy it. I just don't think its worth the money, and I don't like it as a direction for PC gaming. ... view replies




• Re: You can decide the fate of Modern Warfare 2's DLC (maybe)
  

  I spent hours making Assault maps with the Timesplitters map editor. Its a real shame the PC version of MW2 doesn't allow custom maps. Not that I could make one myself, I just would have loved to have seen what people came up with for Spec Ops. ... view replies




• Re: Big surprise: Modern Warfare 2 already hacked
  

  Hacking is not even a big deal in any online game I have played on the PC. I have seen about two hackers in over 1000 hours of TF2. One was promptly kicked for aimbotting as sniper and the other was a speed-hacking civilian heavy. Which was hilarious.
  
  It seems challenging hackers and drawing attention to your "infallible" system is the worst thing to do. ... view replies

• Re: Modern Warfare 2 level about (SPOILER) confirmed
  

  I have no problem with the subject matter, as long as it isn't required to shoot the civilians. I think the guy playing this makes it much worse than it seems. I'm more worried about how this reflects on videogames at large. That clip of video would look perfect in the lead-in video montage to some news stations big story about how videogames train killers.
  And I hate to be cynical, but controversy sells these days, this could be an Activision marketing ploy right out of the rockstar playbook. ... view replies

• Re: Nerd Rage: PC gamers start Modern Warfare 2 petition
  

  I find dedicated servers make playing online much more bearable for me personally. And I don't just mean in terms of host issues, lag, and auto-matching. With a server list you can build up a nice list of favorites, each one with it's own regulars who are like-minded to your own style of play. Serious or not so serious. Modded or vanilla. You actually meet new people through the game. Each one is someones property, so they generally have moderators looking after the place. It's like visiting your favorite bar instead of walking down a random alley to drink with the people there. With no dedicated servers, you basically have to only play with real life friends, or roll the dice on how many assholes you end up playing with. I think this a big reason why the XBL community gets such a bad reputation.
  
  This whole thing is taking away the things that make the PC an "open" platform. I think it's a bad move for all of gaming. As consoles become more and more like PCs I would have expected things like modding and custom content to become more common on them. It just seems like a backwards step. ... view replies

• Re: Why comparing Metroid Prime to Citizen Kane is ludicrous
  

  Doesn't really matter. Whatever game they chose they would have shown people/things being killed. Because thats what makes up the bulk of most games.
  I have no idea why you would want to compare the crowning achievement of two mediums directly. Surely they would be the epitome of their respective mediums and show what is truly great about them and their defining characteristics. Comparing them directly just seems crazy. ... view replies




• Re: Rev Rant: what
  

  I thought I was familiar with most of the big names at IGN. Don't recognize this guy. Anyway, I don't really have a problem with Metroid being used. Because any game would have looked just as ridiculous in that comparison. Mainly because most games have a fairly relaxed attitude towards conflict and destruction and it pretty much becomes the bulk of the gameplay. ... view replies

  It feels a bit bandwagon-y. I'd prefer a more natural progression rather than just a knee-jerk reaction buying up motion tech. It seems I was wrong, the wii was revolutionary. Not because of the technology, but just by making it the standard issue controller and showing it could be profitable it has shaped the future of console gaming more than any console of recent years. ... view replies
