http://www.edge-online.com/features/valve-are-games-too-expensive#expensivegames Valve (STEAM!) says games are too expensive. Besides being "good news", that they are thinking in those lines and have the figures to back it up - does anyone else find it hilarious that they are trying to profile themselves

An AI can never be as good as a human player playing by the same rules. Increased difficulty by "cheating" is a cheap way of introducing a difficulty scale without programming different AIs (which means they can focus on one which means the better it gets, the flatter they can make the cheat scale). If you want fair, play versus humans. Playing against computers will never be completely fair, just approaching it. If you are good enough to beat the hardest AI, it would not be fair if y

Oh man, I used to love those dogfights where you were so far away from the stations and everything else that you lost track of how fast you were actually going because your only point of orientation was your enemy.

What point are you arguing? Why does it negatively affect you if you have a ps3? It doesn't.

Since this is quite a good deal for MS, hopefully they can do a proper port to xbox360 so square doesn't get bad rep in tha

There is without a doubt more than 700 entries, as my entry is listed amongst those and I posted after 700 were already listed. Either that, or any additional comments push old ones out of the database. Unlikely, but not unthinkable.

Quoting myself: [quote] I will be brief. A fundamental problem with the implementation of DRM is that it is done without the consumers' consent or awareness. No matter what type of DRM is utilized, the consumer must have that information available. Secret rootkits installed by privately owned companies with unlimited access to personal files - this is DRM today. DRM is a necessity in the fight against piracy. But it must not come at the expense o

There was a problem introduced in the last patch (2D) and quite a few have seen a performance drop due to that. They are aware of the problem, hopefully it is fixed in patch 3 which is due the 19th.
