After reading about the PC gaming market pulling in $11 billion:
It's just funny to me that you hear people say that piracy is the number 1 thing "killing" PC gaming and yet PC gaming is still growing... a lot.dc337
The growth is largely in areas that are better protected by piracy: online play and casual. Big-budget, single-player exclusives like Crysis have become rare. Piracy has also driven more developers to go multiplat.
Just look at how much Warcraft and The Sims dominated pc game sales last year:
I camt wait for it, high end PC graphics on my laptop will be brilliant. And portable :P
Also those pics shown are fake. Watch the entire GDC thing on onlive, its about an hour long, though it shows crysis wars being played with online properly using their servers.
It was picture perfect. Just like it would be on a PC, well, a very high end pc :)

Yeah, I guess all those stat modifications and whatnot were all in my head... dunno but it felt more of a shooter to me rather than a RPG. i didnt even care for the paragon system went all the way with renegade i.e. shoot shoot shoot
Digital downloading an entire game would take forever, you would need massive storage space and your games would be stuck on one console. What if you wanted to take your games to a friends house? What if your console breaks...then you lose your entire collection of games.

[QUOTE="jaisimar_chelse"] [QUOTE="killerfist"]Same here. And I don't think the one has to replace the other. They can go hand in hand, digital purchases should stay as an option imo. killerfist
meh, u guys can pay for online and DLc but hate DD :? If you had read my post you'd see that I said that they can (imo must) co-exist. I'm fine with Digital Downloads, but it shouldn't replace retail. im not directly replying to you but to all those that say DD is the devil
The day all games go digital is the day I quit gaming.
Me too. I love collecting.
