so did he just say "playstation caliber games"? isn't that equivalent to "sub par PC games"?

the 4 gig ram requirement isnt for the OS, linux runs on less than 500Mb of ram (often lower than 250), whereas windows uses a whopping 1 to 1.5 gigs. Its a requirement because 4 gigs of ram is their basic requirement for a steam machine low end model. You need that much ram to be able to play...

well he said major gaming companies, bathesda releases a few popular games, but they aren't a big publisher. people HAVE picked ubisoft, after all hardcore AC fans might vote for them just for that reason. The OP states that games that you like is a qualifier, so i thought about voting EA given...

even at full price I prefer to buy digital rather than physical, as the developers get a bigger cut through digital. I tend to vote with my wallet, for example i waited for Spec Ops:The Line to come off being on sale before buying it at full price (which was only $30 at that time) I wanted to...

Steam machine isn't a PC, its a PC running SteamOS, big difference, (games library will be different and I wont have to deal with windows bloatware) Edit: in the same way an Xbone isn't a PC, its a PC running xboxOS. same with PS4 Input is key, consoles use controllers, and the steam...

I got a warning for posting an image without adding written content, despite my written content being on the image D:. To reiterate in text, can you provide an option for steam machines? none of the other options suit me as you asked which console I like the look of most.

Your experiences with getting games to work are unfortunate, but PC gamers have ALWAYS had troubles getting games to work it comes from a rediculous variety of hardware setups and the fact that the windows opperating system is basically a patchwork of dll files so you can get conflicts all over...

my understanding was that you got locked out... are you sure, can you find a quote for this? edit i read a thing over on Rock, paper, shotgun that implied the opposite (sorry no time to quote it now). found an image unless they changed what 'disabling' means, this is pretty clear...

pretty much this, as a PC gamer microsoft pissed me off so much. Demanding Windows Vista for Halo 2? You had the gall to release a OS that sucks for gamers (well for everyone), then purposefully engineer a popular game you made so it wouldn't run on XP? (hackers ripped it apart later and made it...

Exactly, rather than using cheaper digital to supplant used games they want to get rid of used games AND have expensive digital. I is greedy and anti consumer, also stupid, very stupid. Essentially the 'cheapening speech' reveals that they are mad at valve for accually competing rather than...

Well yeah, so long as the console makers keep being asshats and don't introduce steam style prices and sales on digital games... yeah. Digital SHOULD be cheaper than retail, yet isn't, what gives? just greedyness really, $ony and M$ could have squashed used games ages ago by doing this, yet they...

I remember 4 years ago I couldn't game worth an asshat on my Imac, i always used my old Windows desktop (dispite my mac being more powerful). Since the release of Steam for OSX... that has all changed, the last games I played on windows were Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite, and Bioshock infinite...

I personally think that their long schedule does result in highly polished games, however, in terms of HL3, I agree with you, its taken WAY too long. I am fairly certain that they reset the development of it and started over from scratch at least once. Edit: Well Steam is their major...
