rage and quakelive are commercial failures. and the others are consolised games anyways. 

 

As Spiney suggests, what he's really saying is "we lose money on PC".

But crediting your customers with intelligence is a no-no; they only care about teh awesome, not facts.

Considering he's pitching the comment to XBLA trolls, I spose that's fair enough. Just makes him sound like a high on glue ... self-evidently wrong ... bellend to anyone with even half a brain cell. 

Jason Jones: "We can't compete in the PC FPS market."
CEO: "You're fired." 

Seriously.

Last time I looked those games we're doing pretty well. Fuck controllers! 

"no one bought our Halos on PC" 

you're totally right, tf2, fc3, dishonored, bf3, etc are totally consolised. 

Have console versions, but if you play with a controller on the PC version, you're gonna die. 

is there some way to increase the amount of terangreal to carry with you?

For example there are only 30 or something that lavaballs things you can hold to your inventory the same time, picking up additional lavaballs it's a waste of ammo

and the monsters are fecking brutal 

Yeah, I really did not enjoy that game. Unreal bot AI monsters + weak weapons + low health...
Loved the maps, but had to cheat my way through it. :S 

Heh, the book was so naff and cheesy (I only read the first one), it kind of put me off trying that game. 

The multiplayer on it was super fun though, there was so much fun tricks to do with the different powers, for instance you could throw yourself in lava, and shoot a switch-place thingy in mid flight to take an opponents place, so they'd suddenfly find themselves drowning in lava.
Wish I could play some more of it, was quite original and different from your regular multiplayer FPS.

The single player seemed fairly average though yeah, like the books. 

Great game, good gameplay, cool environments, cool atmosphere, was really nice to have a proper fantasy "shooter" at the time (still a rare breed).

No problems with the gameplay on normal skill either. 

some of the maps made that game, Shadar Logoth is still one of my favorite settings in a game (think Willem was responsible for it too).

First few maps are a bit meh though from memory.

what story?

(Cant access the video at work so if the video is not serious, thent touche) 

LOLOLwhoamIkidding.

No chance of that.

Does look prettier than usual tho. Even tho the marine shuffling screen fuck does make me want to barf my coffee up. 

angry birds star wars is fucking awesome! 

The tie fighter (?) bird made me laugh - tap and it starts blasting the scenery with lasers. 

Willem sometime ago about WOT; he's the man behind that game. Level design is pretty sick. The most inspiring i've seen to any game 

yeah the first time I played Shadar Logoth (that's the blue town right) in the demo was awesome. fantastic for it's time and something i'll probably always remember.

it was a few years later I got to play the full game, must have been around 2000/2001, but the levels in the game got a bit blander as it went on. a bit hard too, i had to cheat i think. 

Probably best to wait until the game is out for a while - SimCity Day 1 

So, got this as a gift from someone with a duplicate.

A lot of fun. Possibly the first game where I preferred using the controller to the keyboard/mouse.

The levels look nice and have good level design, with some nice logic puzzles to solve midst the shooting stuff.

The enemies aren't so great - their AI is pretty weak and they're a bit samey so far, will see if this picks up. The good point here is that (playing on hard) it feels challenging and yet fair. Doing something stupid kills me pretty quickly, but doesn't leave me feeling cheated. So the overall gameplay is pretty good.

The nice thing about the game is that its not trying to be ten different games at once. It's just a straight forward top down shooter/puzzler. There are upgrades and extras, but I haven't bothered with those and don't feel like I need to yet.

The secondary weapons are kind of tacked on as well - I kill almost everything with the spear.

Will have to try the coop mode. 

It's not exactly groundbreaking, but it's refreshingly unpretentious. You were right, it's just a big dumb shooty shoot knife knife game, and that's fine. 

I wish this was true, I have been waiting for a very long time.
