Occasionally, they'll revisit a story they've already created, such as with FFX-2
I'm pretty sure that game never existed
Agreed, the game felt slow and I didn't feel like I was in control.
This was on the PC, for what I've heard the choppy gameplay was also due to it being a bad console port (what else is new?).
It's the worst console port I've ever seen. I had to use 3 3rd party applications to even make the game somewhat playable.
You can't remap most of the keys with the UI or config files, so I had to use GlovePIE because I don't like to play on WASD.
You can't choose the level of Anti-aliasing and when it's "on" it can't be more than 2x, so I had to override the value using Catalyst.
But worst of all
That made the game somewhat playable but there was still a small dead band for the mouse (meaning you had to drag the mouse the equivalent of a few pixels before it registered it) that made precision shots a pain to do.
I'm sure I missed out a great game, but since even after all those effort the controls were still awful compared to any other FPS straight out of the box, I played for maybe 1 hour and never touched it again.
Here's how it really works : no one (on PC) buys single player games, they only buy multiplayer games
I disagree, maybe people don't buy single player FPS but I'm pretty sure games like Dragon Age, Torchlight, the Witcher, etc. sold pretty well and they have no multiplayer.
Anyway
Same here, not to mention the 60$ price tag. Another victim of consolization.
Or maybe include another computer as a dedicated server for MW2.
I saw what you did there.
Well I already own the game (on Steam) but I just "bought" it again just to support the pricing model.
Reality piracy != sale. All of those people who crack / share cd keys are not going to go ahead a buy a copy of the game. Especially if it is crippled so only pirates can mod / play on outside servers.
Exactly. I'm sure a lot of them would have bought the game if they couldn't have downloaded it but definitely not all of them. A good part wouldn't have bought it anyway, some probably bought it on console and then downloaded it to play with buddies (I guess that brings a new question
I know that was the case for me, I "pirated" COD4
Back on topic, I was going to buy MW2 the day it was out
Pffft that's easy to do =P
Probably, I got them via Amazon.ca and didn't really check which edition it was =)
Too bad... I can't wait to get the next book.
Which one? I've had Blood of Elves and The Last Wish for a while and I though the next one, Times of Contempt, would only be released in Octobre?
It was definitely one of the most addictive games I have ever played. You really needed to work with your teammates to win a territory by bringing the right type of units in the field and supporting each others. The unit customization was also really good, you could go as far as removing all weapons from a tank to place even more armor so you could POC under heavy fire. All the supports type were awesome too: radar jammer, cloaks, infiltrator (you take the color of your enemy), scans, mines, etc.
That really brings back memories =)
This is true, actually. I believe the first two guitar hero games came with bonus tracks from some of the developers themselves (I couldn't reliably name names, but I think "Freezepop" was one of them) and they were just as fun to play (if not more) as the rest of the songs on the game.
You clearly never played the bonus "song" made by one of Rock Band 2 artist.
It's called Visions and IMO should never have been part of the default songs. As a free DLC maybe, but not something you need to play to complete the last sets.
1. How are you going to know if you're hallucinating? Unless you are always asking someone, you'll never know for sure.
You also have to figure out if you are not hallucinating the person you are asking.
