An unfair matchup, true. But if we consider that a great % of gamers today were introduced to this culture by the hype generated by games like Halo... it's no surprising to see how some of these "gamers" can't understand how a couple of "cute-looking stupid dragons" can possibly win against what for some is the pinnacle of awesomeness.

Still, it's nice to see a lot of old-school gamers voting for the game that gives them the fondest memories.

"No matter who wins or who loses, people will still not find themselves happy"

So goddamn true unfortunately.

LMAO!
considering the PC as a cheaper alternative to a console omg have you gone mad?
4 reasons why pc games are a dying breed.
1 there sole purpose was to do what consoles cant.
now there not doing that, in 3 years there has not been 1 game pushing pcs further not 1 since crysis came out.
a 3 year old game is more juce demanding than a brand new one.
2 new hardware is constantly being released ive got a nvidia 9800GTX+ which can run crysis on max settings, so any card above that is over kill, its a waste, the new cards Nvidia and ATI are creating whats the point?
50 bucks says there wont be a application that uses there extra power till half life epp 3 comes out (which i think wont be untill 2011, hopefully sooner but you know valve they take there sweet time)
3 download games.
have you got any idea on how much money devs loose from people downloading there games?
shure the 360 has the same problem but its no where near as bad as PC.
4 pc games often are released much later than the console brother, like mirrors edge,DMC4,red gaction gurilla.
what would you rather get a game now on a console,or wait another 2 months and get it for PC?
not to mention the price of new video cards a new Nvidia 260GTX (which is middle range not even close to top) will set you back 500 AUD.
a 285GTX (which is the best available ATM) will set you back arround 700 AUD.
thats the bloody price of a PS3!
or a 360 elite with a HDD and wireless adaptor.

PC upgrades are necessary about as often as purchasing the next-gen console, and they're always ahead of the game

How could you have Valve as a reason but not Blizzard?

2009-06-25T05:47:02.964-07:00

Oh my god. Seriously. I know I'm going to sound like a ball-buster, and for the record, I agree, PC gaming is awesome, but did it ever occur to you that it might appear marginally more professional if you had someone proof-read your articles before posting them to the "World Wide Interwebs"? Com on guys, take just a modicum of pride in your work, you're better than this.

Comon - Simulation?

A proper Flight Sim og Sub sim just isn't possible on a console.

2009-06-25T02:28:06.860-07:00

@3, if you consider changing GPU every few years you most definately will need a new CPU too, and probably a new morherboard a little bit more RAM would be useful too, thats more than a console i think, even if you dont buy high-end hardware, i like PC gaming anyway but for older games

2009-06-23T00:17:29.743-07:00

Basically you would be paying $60 for a mod.
L4d2 is a modded version of L4d
L4d is a modded version of CS
and CS is a modded version of Half-life.
Now, L4d I can understand, but making practically the exact same game in 1 year and pretty much adding beautified versions of PC mods and charging $60?
What was the point of buying L4d if in one year they made L4d2?

At least I can scroll around the main menu :p

Akira said, "I paid 50 bucks for a co-op game with about 5 hours worth of co-op content".

So you played each campaign once, on easy to normal difficulty, then dropped the game? The whole point of having the AI director in randomizing spawns is for multiple playthroughs, and that's just campaign mode.

2009-06-16T21:51:24.008-07:00

This actually highlights the upside of putting some time between a game and its sequels. Yes, nobody is forcing players to buy it. But it's not as if they're going to continue supporting a game that the fans bought a year ago when they're already releasing an entirely new entry in the series. So now you have a bunch of fans angry because it feels like they fell for a ruse. It's like having bought Windows Vista today only to find out Windows 7 comes out next year and you have to pay full price for the significantly better upgrade. Or having to pay full price to upgrade from Mac Leopard to the new "Snow Leopard". And it ends up feeling like Valve decided to give a big middle finger to the people that originally bought L4D, which is bad company policy, no two ways about it.

2009-06-16T21:30:42.160-07:00

I paid 50 bucks for a co-op game with about 5 hours worth of co-op content that didn't get any real updates 'cept survival mode. That's not worth 50 bucks.

So, when I hear the dev's have been working on just making a brand new game, instead of providing content to the original (trying to pull some madden bullshit). I tell them, no, fuck you. I'm not going to waste my money.

TF2 started out at 30 bucks. Tf2 now is 20 bucks. It was worth it's value then, now it's probably the best deal around with all the great updates. I sure wish I could say the same about l4d.

2009-06-16T19:09:07.187-07:00

They are selling smoke with fancy ribbons to you dude. All what are you saying is content that could be DLC, to be downloaded in a time of 6 months.

2009-06-16T17:44:05.017-07:00

personally i think L4d is a very short game and there is no acceptance of any user of getting another uncompleted game as L4D was, valve seems to think a la EA with madden, trying to make huge amount of money for what should be considered updates.

i'm very dissapointed with them using their time on such crap and not expending it with half life2 episode 3.

2009-06-16T16:39:59.807-07:00

Perhaps you have no clue about supply and demand. It seems with this outrage there is little to no demand, no?

2009-06-16T16:32:28.257-07:00

lol, I think the same thing but when I post a comment like this, I get all negative responses. It's common sense, really. Valve's a company. Companies want to make money. They're offering a new entry in the L4D series with new maps, characters, weapons and gameplay yet people are petitioning that it's not fair? 30,000 people have absolutely no clue about supply and demand.

2009-06-16T13:18:24.857-07:00

Well, what about Xbox 360 owners? Do you know how much space this would take if it came out as DLC for the 360, especially for those with a 20 GB system? Fuck people are stupid.
