They get a partial aim bot and 50% stronger weapons, PC gamers also have to play with their hands tied together. I still think I could beat most console gamers on those termsbigmen0 said:Cross platform gaming, Valve will need to give something really op to the console gamers to compensate for the pinpoint accuracy of the mouse and keyboard ones.
Well, the PS3 version will apparently support a keyboard/mouse setup. So there's that.bigmen0 said:Cross platform gaming, Valve will need to give something really op to the console gamers to compensate for the pinpoint accuracy of the mouse and keyboard ones.
I still hold them accounatable for that. What gives them the right to sell games to us WAY more expensive then in America when we have a higher dollar and as it is digital there are no greater transport/shipping costs to pass on?TheRealCJ said:but you're certainly forgiven for Steam's Australian price gouging.
Actually, it's the australian retailers that made it that way. they complained that it wasn't fair to them because they couldn't compete with those prices.Lim3 said:It almost looks like a hoax.
On the other hand i can't wait to hand those xbox players a wooping with my mouse.

Really? I didn't know that. That's screwed up, they charge more then double the US for harcopies of games. What's the point of competition if they make one supplier charge more instead of the other retailers dropping their prices to compete.Doom972 said:Actually, it's the australian retailers that made it that way. they complained that it wasn't fair to them because they couldn't compete with those prices.
Good thing the retailers in Israel never heard of that, because physical copies here are also expensive.
My thoughts exactly; It's not Steam's fault for pricing things accurately when Australian retailers are getting screwed over.* They should be doing something about it, not blaming it on another service that actually wants to bring accurately-priced quality to the world.**Lim3 said:Really?

Dude this is Valve we are talking about, I'm sure they have more in mind than just updating the graphics and the visuals and the menus.sanquin said:Improvements I saw:
Graphics
Maybe menu's They were new at least
The rest:
Same old, basically. Same maps as before, same gameplay as before, same guns as before as well no doubt. Same everything apart from a graphics upgrade. It's like they're following the trend of the other shooters. "Upgrade graphics a little, new 5 hour single player campaign, new skins, then sell it as a totally new $60 game."
So really, did we need a new game to just upgrade visuals, have new menu's, and have it cross-platform? This is just valve milking what was once the success of CS classic imo. Even CS: Source couldn't get the success that CS classic had, so I doubt CS: GO can get things any better.
That being said, it's a very good thing that Valve doesn't follow the current trend of aiming down a sight and 'realistic blood'. And that they instead stuck to their winning formula of crouching to aim better, and no blood smeared across the screen. But 'using the same formula that worked before' doesn't count as something exciting to me.
