WOW. 1.4? It must be damn near unplayable, right? Because thats a 1.4 should represent.

When did we go from reviewing games for what they had, to reviewing them for what they dont have?

Go to amazon and look at all the 1 star reviews. People need to get a grip. You dont like it, dont buy it. Dont go around skewing review averages and tricking people into thinking its a piss-poor game. That just makes you a dick.

I've seen videos showing that the online portion of the game is totally unplayable.  I don't doubt those videos are extreme examples...but a we're talking a 6 hour single-player game with very poor online multiplayer support that is getting 9-type reviews from the journos and months of hype...I don't blame PC gamers for overreacting.

This is like 3D Sonic: it may not even be as bad as everyone says, but the disappointment is huge.

Most posts on these forums are one-liners. It's not necessarily trolling. It can also be using time as effectively as possible.

U urself post one-liners.

I know that piracy is less common in the Anglo-Saxon countries, but u make it sound like Sweden aint representative for the world when it is.

Bah forget it.. this is a waste of time. I refuse to argue about such a basic and obvious fact (whether piracy is big or not). You are the troll for not admitting it (and therefor I know u are a pirate too).

Piracy is a non-issue on multi-player Steam games. 

 

Even IW realized this by requiring Steam to play MW2.  All of their other changes (lack of dedicated servers, only 18 players, no modding, etc.) have little or nothing to do with piracy.

Just as funny as the as the PC user response, check the PS3 and 360 user responses on metacritic

63,027 68,026 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer
61,747 88,353 Counter-Strike: Source
56,924 69,970 Counter-Strike
41,242 47,715 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

CS still has more peak players, but CoD is creeping up there. Will it ever overtake? And for how long if it does?

^Counter Strike will definately outlive CoD. No doubt about that.



I LOVE ICELAND!

What those numbers stand for? And where on the link to Steam are they found?

It is still falling short of COD4, and the more time it passes, the more evident it will be.

The worst kind seems to be those who've moved across from PC gaming to consoles. They seem to have this burning desire to 'prove' that they haven't settled for second best and constantly need their choice to be validated. They're easily spotted as they tie themselves in knots trying to justify their choice and convince others PC gaming is dead/ dying. Their insecurity and constant trolling of this forum is pretty sad.

I am sure bunch of former PC gamers are pretty much aware that the you get better specs with a PC version of a game.  You switch out after you get fed up with the maintenance headaches and risks of games not working due to drivers.   You know you give up some things, in exchange for less headaches.  I fit in that category.

As far as "dying" goes, PC gaming, as a percentage of the gaming market, is shrinking, and is less relevant.  Companies are making the jump to consoles, because they have less headaches they have to deal with doing this. 

LOL
I used to play games in the days when you had to set IRQ and DMA values for your soundcard, tweak your autoexec.bat and run a bootdisk to have enough memory to run.  These days, PC gaming is a piece of cake. 

 

And no, PC gaming isn't dying, it's changing.  Did you include MMO's in your "percent of the gaming market?"  I didn't think so...

UGH, please don't remind me of the IRQ and DMA days, and having to edit DOS files, and create bootdisks, and trying to use RAM Doublers, and 640K was all you needed, and someone telling me a 386SX was all the computing power one would eve need.  Today, it is easier to get into, but then, you run into more headaches. 

The scope of PC gaming is shrinking in regards to the type of game genres it has, with MMO having a few dominant MMOs and other quirky stuff.  MMOs are the place to get high production value games for the PC.  I would estimate World of Warcraft is at least 25% of the PC gaming market worldwide.  ONE GAME is this.
