Good for you then. Bad for me. Or well, perhaps it's good since it gives me less incentive to waste $1000 on a new PC.

Dark Messiah was awesome.. I loved the combat. No more static swordslashes. They say The Crossing is an FPS? I don't really see the loss here.

Was this ever exclusive in the first place? Does anyone really care about this game?

The Crossing is the first FPS ever to "cross" Singel Player with Multiplayer. Think MMOFPS on a smaller scale.

The only people who aren't at least interested in how the game will turn out are the ones who don't know what it's about. It combines singleplayer with multiplayer and even when people explain how it works I have no idea of how it's actually going to work. Won't be your average FPS anyway, that's for sure. Stalker, Spore and Crysis are the only upcoming exclusives I care about that are left. I guess things like getting better performance in all games, including old ones, getting certain games (Left 4 Dead) earlier and better versions of others (Quake Wars) are facts that might lead to an eventual upgrade anyway.

The game sounds and looks good, but its not the first... Perfect Dark let a player play co-op or as an enemy (the first PD)

PC's don't have exclusives, never have. Exclusives are a console thing where a dev house is given a 'reward' buy one company i.e Microsoft not to port a console game to a rival console. The only PC games that don't go to console are ones that won't sell i.e. Flightsims or games that are too advanced to be run on a consoles hardware, i.e. Crysis.

Feel free to pay double the price for that game and most games...
For me the low price of PC games coupled with better controls/graphics/free mods-games more than makes up for that...

Don't care for RTS's. Don't care for simulations. I especially don't care for MMORPG's, in fact I hate those ****ing turd games.

I occasionally care about adventures, problem being that I hate puzzles. All it leads to is me browsing through Gamefaqs. Logical puzzles are fine, or physics problems, or like the one in that tomb in KOTOR, where you actually have to think rather than combine the duck with the fake beard and put it in the blender to pour on the steps to make the janitor slip so you can steal his keys to get into the office so you can plant the smokebomb you made out of compressed exhaust fumes from a car you found by stepping into a large balloon you confiscated from the circus and get eaten by a whale and direct it to the dock where the car is located by banging on the whale's brain with the shoes you bought with money gathered by playing the guitar on the street. Why can't you just knock the ****ing guy out?

I much prefer the type of adventure games that are less traditional. See Fahrenheit.

Anyhow...

$1000 bothers me more than $30. I'll probably upgrade whenever Crysis is released though. Seems to be the first game where you really need teh grafix to fully appreciate it. Most games aren't released until later during the year anyway apparently. Everything except Stalker pretty much. And I think my PC should be able to handle a game that was originally developed with DX8 in mind. Hopefully most Vista issues should be fixed as well. And hardware will be cheaper. Win-win-win situation rite thar.

Seeing how the game isn't released until 2008 I can't see how that's possible.

That trailer reinforced my earlier deduction that this game must suck since I hadn't heard about it. "Crossplayer" almost made me fall out of my chair laughing. Sounded vaguely..............wrong. Anyway, this game was sure to be a hit alright, from the makers of "Arx Fatalis" (Crap) and "Dark Messiah" (Crap). Is there a reason why I should be the least bit angry?

There is no reason. Looks like crap to me.
