If it was proven that having an active steam acount got you interest from very attractive (and dirty but not physco) females (or whatever you prefer)... would you dance with your devil? Whats your Steam hate worth?

Reply to Heavy Rain is coming to PC? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

It is the PC's territory. But Sony paid for most of Heavy Rain. David Cage would be homeless on his french? streets without sony. Still I hope they do put it on PC I loved (the first half) of Indigo but Im not buying a PS3 just for 1 game. Although the quality of certain console games is going up. I made need to actualy participate for the next genertion of conoles!

I read lots of good ideas here. One clear apsect I saw is that people don't like arbitary limitations on thier ability to do what they want. Funny that. The only really big choice is the terrain choice. Handcrafted versus generated. My question is why havn't you got a system that randomly places hand crafted sections together with some random generation between them. I don't want that feeling of "oh its the same map again". Xcom did it best, even though I knew each warehouse, each hou

You expect stupid people to make that distinction? They see Impulse, they see Demigod. They make the connection. Anyway if I buy Total Annihilation Kingdoms 2 KnightsAndMerchants Stronghold KnightsAndCastles it will enterily depend on if its a good game or not. So far... not so muc

Reply to Epic President: “The Money’s On Console” in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Theres something people seem to be forgetting in the equation of PC game sales. The user base of these platforms are NOT set for life. During the last decade many PC users have switched to a dual PC/console setup or gone straight to full console (with thier old PC for ancillary tasks like trolling internet forums). Conversly the number of console owners who "looked for more" that went to PC are few - usually kids who grew up with an xbox and wanted the "next level". *Note this is all

My point is to make the player feel like he/she is actually part of something that is active and alive, rather than something that just looks active and alive on the surface. The thing is, does the player has any way to differentiate both cases? If she sees a pair of wandering trolls, is she able to know that they are raiding because there's a shortag

They wouldn't do it unless they are going to make money out of it and they don't have to do it to stay ahead (they are doing that with game content - not external features). Put simply - no MMO is half as good as WoW. (THIS IS MY OPINION! Not based on popularity but how much I care about the game, the world, lore, story, features, options, my agency within the game etc) They are also the most popular western "sub" game and that means no competition, that means they can charge whatever

Lets not forget that when a Palandin of the Light genocides the undead, he might seem like he has "grudge". Also there is definately a difference between standing on a street corner preaching the word of your gospel and mudering the innocents to use their blood to open the hellgate beneath your stronghold. I dislike the idea of culling the local villages because they all *might* be unbelivers because *some* of them are.
