Why isn't everyone wetting themselves over shattered horizon?

Obviously lack of promotion is what does it. But I think the real reason is it's a Steam exclusive and one cannot buy it in stores, and if they are like me they hate DRMs.

is steam a DRM now? I didnt think it really qualified - although it does prevent piracy, albeit without running any malware in the background.

Primarily, it's certainly not simply a distribution model, because if it was, it wouldn't be required to run games that are distributed on discs, like Half Life 2.

Steam is realistically no different from X-box Live, apart from Steam is free (to use, not buy from obviously).

Except if you buy an XBox game you don't have to register it on XBox Live and it isn't permanently tied to that XBox Live account.

Apart from that small detail, they're very similar though.

Yes, and that small detail is my biggest beef with Steam, and my other beef is with the digital distribution model as a whole. Also, I don't have an XBox, and I will never have an XBox.

Hang on... if you get a new account, you can get games transferred over, or if you can send them the receipt they'll let you trade games from one acccount to another.

It does look damn epic... I might get it. Ages in the future, once Christmas has ACTUALLY BEEN FORGOTTED for one or two goddamn months.

You need Vista (are you willing to make that sacrifice?)

Vista actually doesn't suck anymore, so stop pickin' on it. kthx.

You keep telling yourself that, and I'll keep having fun playing games on PC.

Exactly.
Vista fucking sucks, and I'm not going to risk it with Windows 7.
*Runs back to Xp*

I'm interested in Windows 7, but i want nothing to do with Vista. When I upgrade my comp, I'll give 7 a go, but my only gripe about XP is the lack of RAM recognised by the cpu.

Just Cause 2 is also critically underhyped. Despite it looks better than GTA IV - you have entire tropical island at your disposal, you can skydive and paraglide, Spiderman around with a grappling hook and tie objects toghether...

I say it's because they don't have millions of dollars to waste on marketing.

this entire thread is about Jizzing? what?

I have Vista on my family computer, its not bad but I can't play Vietcong or KOTOR on it.
It can go burn in hades.

i have Win 7 and it is like XP but with Vista's good looks.

Or system shock, or any other half-decent game that requires dos box or windows 95 to run.

Because "jizz" and "jizzing" need to be burned from existance.

Unless they're used in connection with sexual intercourse...cheap sex, with the kinds of people who make you want to change your phone number afterwards.

Yes... right... Well said? I guess?

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Because it's mediocre, and because PC games aren't overhyped like console games.

 

[kawaiiamethist]

1. Girls can't jizz
2. Never heard of the game
3. 'Don't do pc games

 

[KSarty]

Cool concept but it is MP only, so I'm not interested.

 

[Abedeus]

1. MP-only
2. Sounds boring.
3. Looks boring.
