Reply to Are consoles d0med? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="FallenDevil" reply="28" id="2543523"]This is rushed, but yeah: Gears of War 1,2 & 3= console[/quote] First one is on PC too. Both pretty overrated games, by the way. Third one still have to appear, so we don't count it, ok? [quote]Mass Effect 1, 2 = vastly better on console[/quote] Quite the opposite. Vastly better on PC, in graphics, controls and in user interface. [quote]Call of Duty= console[/quote] Not really. Ever

Reply to Mount and Blade - Steam for 5$, can Impulse match? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote] Sounds interesting - the reviews mostly have it as mediocre-average (largely on it's graphics/presentation), but you read all the user reviews and they rate it as very good. Since I've grown increasingly distrustful of 'official' reviews I decided to go ahead and get it (although I probably won't start playing it for a few weeks - still playing around with dragon age origins).[/quote] For 5 bucks it will be the best deal of your life.

Impulse, mail changing and/or multiple mails. in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Well, title says it all. There's any chance Impulse will add options to change mail, merge accounts and/or give options to login with two accounts at the same time on a single PC and client? Why I ask for it? For instance, both me and my flatmate have our own Impulse account, often sharing the same PC, and sometime is pretty annoying to logoff and relog everytime we switch,just to check for updates and so on.

Reply to Fallout 3, my Review in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Fallout 3 sucks badly. gameplay 10/10? That's a joke. I can think about half dozen FPS-RPGs and none of them is worse than FO3 in gameplay.

Reply to Steam Powered Supcom 2 in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote]They might still use both. Dawn of War 2 uses both Steam and GfWL, Steam basically for DRM and GfWL for multiplayer.[/quote] Which is simply the WORST thing to do. So you can pick the bad from both sides. Honestly I'm sorry for other competitors, but I think Steamworks is so far the better way to integrate a Multiplayer interface on a PC game (Even more when using Steamcloud: remotely saved settings, keybindings, and so on) and incomparably better than GFWL, which in fa

Reply to Mass Effect: My Review in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Well, it's not a flawless game anyway. The story has some major plot hole, secondary quests and planet exploration are boring as hell and the game is very linear, with very little freedom for the player. All moral choices are fake forks, where acting nice or bad doesn't actually change nothing. Don't get me wrong: I like the game, battles are very enjoyable and I an't wait for the sequel... But the open post is far too generous dealing with it.

Reply to PC game developers mainstreaming themselves into oblivion? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote]While I agree with this statement, the success of the DLC on consoles is now hurting PC Gaming. Look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Custom Maps/Mods/Anything was removed from the game. I can promise you some of the thinking behind this was to charge PC users for Map packs and additional content[/quote] Which, in fact, is very stupid, cause this detracts value from the game, for a PC audience.

Reply to Impulse adding titles faster and faster in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

X-COM UFO DEFENCE (aka UFO Enemy Unknown) is in my absolute top five. What I wish to see on Impulse in the future (beside more games at lower prices :D) is some feature to put settings and savegames online, pretty much like Valve's Steamcloud.

Space Rangers 2. Wonderful cocktail of RPG, adventure, RTS and much more. One of the best games in last years. Anyone I pushed to try it still thanking to me after months.

Reply to 10 quick thoughts on digital distribution and sales in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote]I used to be one of those people that collected all the shiny boxes and was proud of my monument to slacking. One day though I looked over at the six, three foot high stacks of game boxes taking up a good portion of space in my computer room and thought "What the hell am I keeping all this crap for?". Hard drive space is cheap and a lot more practical when moving. I have collected a few shelves worth since dumping those, but I have done pretty well in weening myself of all the

Reply to Brad’s thoughts for Games for Windows Live in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Honestly I think GFWL sucks very badly. Poor features, worst UI ever seen and last but not least is another way to rise in strenght Microsoft attempt to monopolize PC gaming and bind it definitely to Windows... Which, yeah, doesnt' change so much now with Windows already dominating, but it can be very bad in the future.
