Are always buggy because they put two programmers on the conversion and give them a few weeks to get it out the door. 

Considering GoW PC has additional game content, it wasn't just a straight port of the 360 version. 

"Willem: is this what you tell all the people who purchase PC versions of your games and encounter issues?"

No, it's what I would tell anyone who asked me before purchasing a game.

Afterwards, well, I'm not technical support so I don't have an answer for you. 

Specs: C2D E6600, 2gb RAM, 8600GT 512mb.

64bit Vista has several useful features not available in 32bit editions of Windows beyond supporting above 3,5gb RAM 

i didnt say install XP and buy 2Gb of ram, I said install XP OR buy 2Gb of RAM!

Heh - This computer I'm using uses Vista32 and has 4Gb of RAM. Which is equally as dumb. We should really upgrade to 64, except I worry about COMPATIBILITY ISSUES with 32 bit applications. General applications.

1) There is no Gears of War for PS3.
2) Even the 360 version doesn't ship with an editor.

XP can actually use up to 3.5GB I believe so what you have is good. Don't buy anymore RAM though. :) 

Thats what it says on System Informaton.

In an ideal world I would have Vista64 on this machine. It has a 9800GTX 1Gb and a 22" Samsung!

Work computer tho - All it's seen so far is GIMP :-(

Oh and that Medusa tech demo.

An official patch for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 contains a cracked no-cd .exe by a piracy-terrorist-childmolester group. And since that crack cracks the copy protection it would be illegal to have at least in Germany. 

Yes I can be quite fussy / quirky about control systems. I play with mouse inverted for a start (which is part of the problem here).

I'm not intending to diss your game as a generalisation. It's my first impressions and personally I didn't like the feel to it (I think there's something about the camera too). The way it's controlled means might not be the 3PS for me, but I will try some more. 

I've only played it on 360 myself, where the control system works wonderfully, but I can see how it wouldn't transfer to PC that well.

I should also note that I played the majority of the game co-op, it makes it a lot more fun and adds the beserking american football style the control/cover systems encourage since you can be ressed by your teammate indefinately. Don't know if that'd be the same if you're not in the same room tho...

Get a console Sham tbh, they're cheap, pads are surprisingly pwn these days and the 360 can be chipped by flashing the firmware of the CD drive so you don't have to buy games... I mean, they discourage piracy so developers are more inclined to develop a wide variety of titles with the increased revenue ;) 

"and the 360 can be chipped by flashing the firmware of the CD drive so you don't have to buy games... "

1. Fuck you

2. That may work but you won't be able to play online.

3. Die in a fire. 

I played a bit of Rainbow Party Six: Vegas Baby Yeah! - Or whatever it was called - I'm sure you need at least 7 for a proper rainbow party, but I digress. Anyway, I played a bit of that on the PC, and the Gears of War-esque cover system felt ok with the PC controls. If there's one thing I learned from playing those two games, it's that you can't have a cover system without lots of repressed manlove. Mmmm-mmm, the satisfying, testosterone-fueled grunts of our chiselled heroes, as they slam their muscled flanks firmly against those great slabs of crumbling concrete and mortar - As someone who worked for two years on a game with a similar cover system, I can't stress how important (and difficult) it is to get the feel of that hefty rump slamming hard into unforgiving breeze-block - absolutely spot on. God knows, we tried. Some of my fondest memories come from those bleary-eyed all-nighters sneaking into the mocap studio, slipping effortlessly into that gollum suit (I was voted the one with the most heroic physique) and just throwing myself into the various obstacles, purely out of passion - and a belief that there was still some new subtlety that we could bring to the table, a new angle to explore, or just simply some way of smacking arse-first into a brick wall that hadn't been done quite like this before. The next morning, knackered but grinning vehemently, I would wear my bruises like battle scars - a proud reminder of our trial of sweat and pain in the pursuit of perfection.

Knew that'd get you ;p

It was more a comment on the 'consoles stop piracy' argument, although I will expand on my views on chipping after I get back tomorrow morning... 

finished it, quite like it. Playing RoE next. 

"I will expand on my views on chipping after I get back tomorrow morning..."

Hint: Nobody cares. 

nerve touched 

few games ever scared me, but after the great initial impression the gameplay and the maps became so repetitive I couldn't believe it was an ID game.

Strange, because I recall the few outdoor parts not running any worse than these endless hallways.

But the worst was that it felt like playing another Halo/Red Faction; just annoying gameplay mechanics. Did they expect atmosphere and graphics to last forever ?

And, in a game relying so heavily upon atmosphere, not being able to adjust the music volume independently from the game sounds...roulfffff even Q3 has that.

Plus the unbelievable lameness to announce "we all agree we've seen enough of 'find key open door'" and then do exactly that while ripping off every other game to date. 

"nerve touched"

Yeah, I make games for a living. I like to get paid. Wouldn't it make sense that I take issue with someone stealing from me? 

I downloaded some file from you, could I lend it for a couple more days or do you need it back already? 

What file? 

i don't see you raging about how bad the publisher system and all that is for the devs. 

that means, if e.g. Lun would have said the same thing, it wouldn't sound so much like big evil publisher propaganda (like with all the movie/music shit), because he actually talks bad about both sides ;) 

Who's raging? I'm annoyed because some ass is advocating stealing from me.
