Why isn't everyone wetting themselves over shattered horizon?

Why isn't everyone jizzing over, what?

I second this, the fuck is shattered horizon?

My reaction as well. At least it give me something to google.

The first 30 seconds of the trailer had me excited, then it looked menial and boring. Great concept though, I wish if they make a sequel they can have more premise than "Zero-Gravity Team Deathmatch mode" vibe that it has going on.

I'm thinking about getting it, I didn't get a computer-jet-engine hybrid for nothing after all.

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.

Doesn't change the fact it's a DRM, and DRMs are by definition, Bullshit.

I'd only vaguely heard of it before, and multiplayer shooters do not interest me anyways.

 

[Booze Zombie]

I do say... yawn.

 

[SageRuffin]

Because I'm doing so over games that I've actually heard about, and consequently care for, like Bayonetta and Mass Effect 2.

*snort* Bayonetta.

You crack me up. Honestly, how the hell can you look forward to yet another derivative third-person beat-'em-up, where the only distinguishing feature from the rest of the genre is the main character?

The only genre more cliched than the third-person beat-'em-up is the World War II FPS. I thought people wanted some originality in their games. Apparently, since everybody's running out to buy bloody beat-'em-ups, that was a blatant lie.

Who the hell cares? I played the demo and I loved it; it's fun, challenging, and awesome. If you don't like it, that's your business.

it also works on 7

What is this and why can the dudes stay in the suns rays without loosing their shields or what ever

 

[Omikron009]

I was just shown a video of it this morning by a friend, and I had forgotten the name. Thank you for reminding me. It makes me wish I had a gaming PC.

I've heard of it. It seems I'm in the minority. It looks pretty neat, but I don't know for sure. It's certainly an intriguing concept that I'd like to try out. Steam is having a free weekend feb. 19-21, so I'm definitely going to give it a shot.

I heard it was mediocre, but I was a little excited for a futuremark game for about 10 seconds.

its actually pretty good once you get the hang of it, but it does have a pretty steep learning curve though.

 

[ethaninja]

The fact that it is PC exclusive is one reason most of the gamers aren't into it. The reason I'm not into it however is because its Multiplayer only. I hate multiplayer only games with a passion. Also this game gets a bit repedative after a while, sort of like Battlefield 2142.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE SPEC REQUIREMENTS??

I looked over them, and they're not that steep. I have a fairly cheap computer I built myself, and I easily meet the required specs.
Good computer parts aren't that expensive these days.
