This is the only crowd-funding game I have backed. I miss the space sim genre immensely and I am looking forward to flying a ship again.
Alpha cannot come soon enough! |

| I would argue that Unreal and Unreal Tournament (original) brought some original elements to the FPS genre. |

Epic is simply not interested in the PC platform just as they are no longer interested in creating original, fun games that take chances and push the boundaries of the medium.
They are the Michael Bay of game developers. Lots of flash, but no substance, originality, or soul. |

Abit lost their star motherboard designer, Oscar Wu to DFI. He designed the very popular DFI LANParty mobo right after they poached him from Abit.
I think also the DIY PC enthusiast market is shrinking so there are going to be casualties. |

Look. I am no fanboi and if you had cared to quote the rest of my paragraph you would have seen why I objected to Sweeney's comments. If more prominent developers keep proclaiming that "PC Gaming is D0med!" then it will probably go that route.
I also have personal gripe with Epic right now as I bought ( I know-stupid me) UT3 -collector's edition even- and inside the artbook is a big long spiel by Mark Rein about how much they care about the Unreal Tournament series and then when I launch the game...it's a turd. UI is complete garbage, Windows Live is broken, the game looks muddy and in fact it looks like a first-person Gears of War-a game whose art direction I did not care for. They don't care about UT3-it was quite obvious that it was a half-ass job. So UT3 tanks-and rightfully so-especially since COD4 and TF2 were much, much better games. They edited their forums so heavily after launch due to the flood of customer complaints and problems-yet fanboi posts were left. So does Epic own up and say-we didn't do a great job and it was our fault. No! Instead we get articles from these clowns talking about how PC gaming is in disarray and how consoles are "teh great"! Sorry gents, but I don't buy it-actually I did buy your game and my ass is still sore from the reaming. Learn from your failure, don't blame your customers for it. Epic games used to be an automatic buy for me-not anymore.
As for the warez kiddy comment-in my experience the people that warez games are some of the loudest complainers. Sure, they'll drop 2k on gaming rig, but they won't spend $50.00 on a game.
And I have rocked onboard video-nforce implementations aren't half-bad and will run older games pretty decently-just not cutting edge.

It doesn't sound like you actually read anything but the title - and you'd rather whine than actually bother to understand what he is talking about.
Umm...I read the article. And when Sweeney says PCs are good for a lot things just not games-he's talking out of his ass. Sorry I offended your sensibilities by not agreeing with the public statements of a developer that cut his teeth on the PC platform. I understand his frustrations, but the continual belittling of the PC as a platform by developers is just going to give publishers more reasons to abandon my favourite platform. I don't want to see the PC die as a gaming platform.
And by the way, I have owned a 8800GTX for over a year now so keep your Intel snipes to yourself-I imagine you're just a little warez kiddie anyway.

I loved Bioshock and look forward to exploring more of the world of Rapture. All you haters-why bother playing games if you hate them all so much?

I am tired of hearing these guys whine. UT3, which I bought, is pretty crap. The UI alone is enough to enrage me. Couple that with Windows Live and I wish I could return the game. Epic has started to become like id-increasingly irrelevant except for making game engines.
I'm so glad that these rich babies are part of the alliance that is trying to "save" PC gaming. It doesn't sound like they want it to survive at all-they'd rather put out Gears of War 2009/2010 etc. and buy more sports cars.

Apparently they were deliberately staying quiet about DA until after Mass Effect shipped and started selling. We should be hearing a lot more about DA this year.

The delayed texture pop-in seems to be a peculiarity with the Unreal 3 engine. Bioshock had similar issues-although since I was playing it on PC the pop-ins were a lot faster.
As for the game-I like it...a lot actually.

I love the revisionism that occurs with gamers. When System Shock 2 came out there was a ton of bitching and moaning about how they removed the 3D hacking mini-game that was in the first one and that the setting was not as scary or that psychic monkeys are dumb. I don't even want to go into the pages and pages of moaning that centered around the weapon degradation system.
The game was based on the Thief engine and was admittedly very low-poly and awkward. It did, however, have a great audio system and the game really shone in that department.
Don't get me wrong-I love SS2 and think it is a classic. I still have my game box. It sits next to the Fallouts and Planescape boxes. But the game was never perfect.
The game sold pretty poorly at retail yet we have ten of thousands of forum goers all claiming to love the game. I guess they warezed it-which certainly helped in Looking Glass' demise.
Game developers are in a Catch-22 with the frothing, mouth-breathing internet fanbase.
Game too similar to the original? "Bullshit. Might as well call it an expansion pack. They should have just tweaked the graphics of the original and released it. I would pay for that!"
Game too different from the original? "Bullshit. The first game was perfect. It was the best game evar. This sequel is watered down for n00bs. Who cares about graphics? Gameplay is what it's about. I still play Robotron you babies!"
Bioshock is a great game that did some things I really really like and some things I didn't like so much. I didn't let the small design decisions (made for good reasons I'm sure) get in the way of my enjoyment. It is a well-crafted, graphically beautiful, computer game made in a similar vein to games that we have fond memories of. I, for one, think the gaming universe has been bettered by the presence of Bioshock. It has introduced younger people to game types beyond GTA and beyond Halo. It has introduced them to storytelling in this medium.
-sorry about the rant. I am just sick of the endless whining.
