I checked up on what you said about ports being the majority of PC gaming, and you're right - granted, I only used the Gamestop PC Coming Soon list, but I only found 4 or 5 titles this year that were PC exclusive. Space Siege Spore Stalker: Clear Sky Warhammer Online I think there might...

Stardock has already proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that PC gamers will buy a good game without shitty DRM, as the game was # 2 - 4 on the NPD sales charts for many months. This isn't your typical RTS or FPS either, this is a 4X game most people wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. The...

These things exist because developers and publishers keep thinking that one day, their DRM will be so foolproof, pirates will have NO CHOICE but to go buy a legit copy. When the developers and publishers finally realize that the pirates won't buy a legit copy in the first place and to...

I would've liked Steam too, but I don't think Steam would have given us the option of turning Blizzard's games into digital distribution copies as well, and that's something I like because my old CD's have taken a beating. Plus, we all know Blizzard isn't going anywhere anytime soon ;) Oh...

Yea, I forgot Valve lets you register your old CD Key's as well. Still, I like the fact Blizzard's system is fast and doesn't require another program to be running to do this... there are many people who don't like Steam who wouldn't be opposed to this, I reckon, since it's not another...

Should have known that when Blizzard went the digital distribution route, they'd even one up Steam at it. Right now, you can digitally download Warcraft 3 + exp and Starcraft + exp, with Diablo 2 + exp coming soon. The best part is you can use your old retail keys from your copies from 10...

Will PC gaming die? No, probably not. But go look at Gamestop's coming soon list for the PC, and there is maybe 3 games total on that list that are exclusive to the PC... the rest are all console ports. Looking at my tiny stack of games here, I remember a day when the PC had exclusive...

It's true, it comes from the project lead on the Fallout 3 team so it's definitely true. I feel like your PC gaming spirit is slowly being crushed after reading all of your posts :(

Haha, I'm not sure they can make it any less complex than Oblivion! Go here, stab this thing, return this item, go through this portal. Maybe the game will shoot and travel for us now, and all we have to do is read dialogue ;)

http://kotaku.com/387903/fallout-3-lead-were-console-players-now I know after UT 3, a lot of people here are against games that were designed for the console being shoved onto the PC, but it looks like Bethesda is taking that lead. They even site Bioshock as an example they want to follow...

Then why don't they just do this to begin with? It is just one big, unnecessary hoop people who legitmately buy the game have to jump through. Publishers need to stop pretending like this will stop anyone from pirating... in fact, it probably makes people pirate MORE.

Ha, I beat you by a minute ;) The article also says Spore is going to use the exact same system.

I hope all of you that were outraged by Bioshock will be even more outraged at this. http://kotaku.com/387846/mass-effect-copy-protection-an-opportunity-to-use-the-adjective-draconian You'll need to remind EA's authentication servers EVERY WEEK you have a legit copy of the game, which...

Same here... I doubt I'll ever upgrade my PC ever again. Hearing the PC elitists brag on and on how about how they will get the "better looking" GTA 4 whenever it comes out is funny, because by the time I'll be playing the next hot thing, while they are just now getting GTA 4. Sure, your GTA...

Haha, for you people who will complain, or start complaining, you should see the list of achievements for the medic, that border on average, to near impossible difficulty. We will be hard pressed to ever find one with the ubersaw, let alone the crit charging medigun.

Woot, just broke my old school, now I'm at 2,750,000 and around the high 600's on the leaderboard's. That score would be so much higher if I could actually make it all through level 2, ha.

Punk Buster sorely needs to be purged from PC Gaming. Like the OP said, they don't do shit for people who do cheat, and it all it does is catch legit people constantly. I can't even remember how many threads there were on the Battlefield games about how PB was a piece of trash. People...

Ubisoft added Vegas 1 to Steam, normally $20 but $18 for a limited time. I used to own the game on PC, but it was quite a buggy mess, so I'm not sure if I'd really want to recommend it to anyone. But if you don't have any other way to play it, it's a decent game. Vegas 2 is up for preorder...

I've already got over 2 million points on the first level alone... the game is awesome, it reaches a whole new level when you're trying to chain everything together rather than just destroy everything. Game is definitely worth it for the online leaderboards and the HD graphics, even if you...

What? GTA 3 is what made GTA popular, and that was on the PS2 before anything. Nobody really cared about GTA 1 and 2, it's 3 that made the series popular and it debuted on PS2 first and foremost. GTA 3 didn't even come to PC until two years after the PS2 version! Without GTA 3 and the...

I've never done it, but I'm fairly certain you can plug the Play And Charge kit into the USB port of your computer and it will charge while the computer is on. This way, you don't need to be tethered, can do it while you're doing other stuff or just browsing the web. Hell, I've done it with...

Worked fine for me in Vista x64, not sure what the problem could be... I finished the game start to finish and even did some multiplayer.

Double post... and for some reason I can't delete it.

Hate the chain with a passion... there is no reason to shop there over anyone else, and I could care less about the preorder bonus "incentives" since half the times, the employees just take them all around here. It's never as easy as just walking in, getting a game, and being out of the store...

It's a shame that SupCom never did hit Steam, even after THQ announced it was coming when they first signed on :(

I'd imagine they could do some kind of trickery through Steam, and make it pretty difficult to grab the maps. They are in the final stages of "finalizing the details" on the PC map pack, which leads me to believe IW is contributing with someone to make this happen - my bet is Steam, they...

PS3 is getting shafted when it comes to Call of Duty 4? Try being a PC owner. At least you guys are getting the map pack... IW has said they have no plans to release it on the PC, and even if they decide to, it will be months down the line. Which is sad, because the game is constantly...

If they dropped the ridiculous subscriber fees, then yea, it might be worth it. There is no reason that Guild Wars can be free to play, but Hellgate requires $15 a month. I'd just hold out for Mythos, which is a supremely better hack and slash title.

What? So basacially, your goal here was to rip off a retailer, and you're mad because Gamestop is smarter than that? And yes, it's techically ripping off, because you knew fully well it probably wasn't bought at Gamestop, you just wanted to dump a copy quickly and get full retail value for...

Making a comeback? I guess you can say that if you only have access to what comes out in the US, since it seems we're getting a ton of "new" fighters... but the Japanese scene has had a steady stream of 2D fighters for a little while now, really hasn't been a shortage in my book, both new...

Um... who is saying it sucks? It is the predecessor to all the Metroidvania's of recent years, it's got a few problems but what old NES game doesn't, really. The only person I know who said it sucked was the AVGN and his show is parody, which he makes quite clear.

We will never see MvC 3. Marvel and Capcom had a great run, but at the end of that, either Marvel or Capcom decided to not renew the contract and went it's own seperate ways. The reason why MvC 2 was so limited for PS2 and Xbox was that Capcom got special permission to port it over, however...

Nah, I saw that on the shack, it said the games are selling at a discount *until* April 8th, at which point they will go back to full price. I agree with everyone else, there is no reason for a $20 Splinter Cell.

Got this off Slickdeals. No More Heroes for the Wii is only $27.99 shipped free (3 day UPS shipping) at Newegg! If it goes out of stock, be patient, it seems to come back in stock again quickly. It's in stock at the time of this posting. $49.99 everywhere else, except Amazon who has it...

Trust me, it's real. I'm pretty sure Valve wouldn't do this on their own because Ubi would be pissed, and I'm sure Ubisoft and Valve didn't get together to piss off their entire fanbase. And yea, the pricing is insane... I think that is the publisher's doing, and not Steam's, on older...

Ninja Gaiden DS, and I'm about to snag a copy of Etrian Odyessy.

Great news! From Steampowered: I can't really think of any Ubisoft games I absolutely loved, but more major publishers on Steam is always a good thing. Splinter Cell is waaaaaaaay overpriced, but Assassin's Creed is up for preorder now, which is good for those of your who wanted to...

Apparently Stardock is in the preview stages of their new Digital Distribution client called Impulse. I would link it, but the site seems to be down. Surprised I didn't see this on [H] before. Stardock claims it will be up and running by April 2008, they have almost every big name PC...

All of these mods are compatiable with the Steam version of Stalker, correct?

Doesn't matter, it's Xfire trying to fool everyone by doing it a day early. Turbine already has their LOTRO April Fool's gag up as well.
