I've never played it - thankfully... I've kinda sorta been hoping (quietly) that it would eventually find it's way to the PC - and that's when I'd pick it up! :-) Was the same way with Alan Wake... Waited and waited with no sign, but that patience was rewarded!!! This would absolutely rock -...

Racecarlock: This is an argument Yahtzee makes incredibly often, and which I agree with mostly, though aren't nearly as rabid about: So much time, money, effort, (disk space?) is devoted to "shiny" that other aspects of a game which could / would ultimately have a far greater affect on the...

YESSSSSSSSS!!!! You get such MAJOR points in my book for the mention of the old-school Star Wars flight-sims - I vote for them too (busy replaying them as I write this actually!) - X-Wing / Tie Fighter / X-Wing Alliance. AND Star Control 2!!! I'm assuming, like most fans, you ignore the...

Fact, yes, RE4 and RE5 play very similarly. But RE4 introduced that play-style. And RE5 did nothing to advance it after how many years post RE4? I honestly think it's that simple. That and the huge difference in the settings / story. For whatever of reason, I enjoyed playing RE4 right...

1. Not really, from a purely gaming perspective... If you do a HELLUVA lot of multi-tasking, have a lot of different apps and tabs open, and DON'T generally close or optimise them before / during gaming sessions, then perhaps. Otherwise, for the foreseeable future, it won't make any difference...

Sadly, yup! :-(

I've tried several of these games over the years... Some purely as experimentation or time-sinks when running off Linux. Some because of the good things heard about them... At the moment, I have the following installed to my system (and they've been in place for quite some time already - LONG...

What josemlopes said only just now - and several others have said earlier in the thread: If you're looking for a completely transparent, plug-and-play (that WORKS) gaming experience - go buy and use a console. They're very capable. But people playing on PC either ALREADY APPRECIATE or (with a...

I'm sorry, but this is turning sad... Whiny whiny whiny! Take some responsibility for your own bloody failures!!! EVERY game listing on Steam has a system-requirements listing. And, as per other postings in this thread: The Operating System stated in this kind of listing is NOT a minimum...

I think this happens to MOST gamers eventually... And it really is pretty pointless to try fight against this malaise! Best thing to do is just find something else that interests you to occupy that time / attention. Eventually the will to game returns, and then you can get back to it with...

Oooh!!! Yeah - I shoulda had Deus Ex on my list too! Forgot. And I so do NOT get affected by the mention as predicted! Why? Because Deus Ex WAS ALREADY installed!!! :-D I also SO have to single you out for mentioning The Dark Mod!!! So few people I bump into outside of the Thief community...

I have three sets f games that I go back to again and again and again... So much so that - with each game or series in question - I have made SURE that every single primary game system of mine has copies of these games installed to them IMMEDIATELY upon getting the system in question, and the...

PC is still a winner for the ability - in not-quite-but-almost 100% of the cases - to continue playing old games. AS LONG AS A LITTLE EFFORT IS MADE and / or the individual involved has some technical skill and knowledge. FAR better that the situation on consoles. YES this may prove...

The games I'm most "proud" to be a fan of - and which I often try to get friends etc. to actually try / play whenever given the opportunity, are also the games I personally rank amongst my own "Top 10 Games of All Time." Most specifically, there are three game series that I count as single...

I often end up creating self-made challenges for myself when gaming - but only in certain types of games, and generally only once I've gotten through the game in question completely at least once! The kind of games that really lend themselves to that kind of challenge are more cerebral in...
