Is this the quietest lead up to E3 or is it just me?

Blue, I'd would be very surprised if your troubles with satellite are over at this point. My experience with dabbling in DirecTV ended with nothing but frustratingly ineffective service calls and broken signal.

I lived in South Florida at the time and any kind of Florida rain would knock the signal out for the duration of the heavy rain. While these heavy rain showers are usually short down there, they are frequent. I only lasted a few months before getting fed up with it.

News Comments > Crytek: PC Sales to Piracy Ratio 1:15 or 1:20
4. Piracy Jun 27, 2008, 17:36 Valcor
 
That figure sounds grossly high to me. Also, he seems to be assuming that every pirater would 100% be buying it if they were not already getting it illegally.

I bought and enjoyed Crysis but this CEO's whiny rants about this are getting old.

I'm still using the 169.25's myself. They seem to work the most stable for most of my games. Unfortunately, that is most and not all. GTR2 still stutters with 169.25 and the 175.16's got rid of that but caused too many issues elsewhere.

Here is hoping these settle all the problems at the same time...

1. Sooo.....? Jun 13, 2008, 09:56 Valcor
 
Now that this has been out long enough for people to get past the first few hours of polished experience.....

How is it holding up? Does the content, economy and player base seem like something you would want to invest some time in?

1. Racy Ad May 15, 2008, 09:37 Valcor
 
I know exactly the ad you are referring to and I have not seen the ad in a few days so all should be well.

Thanks for addressing that! One of my favorite parts of BluesNews is it's innocuous look and layout which allows me to have it on screen anytime.

Blue, some of your ads (like the Zango(?)one), are starting to be borderline NSFW.....

Yeah, I know what you mean. I wanted to like it, but it just wasn't happening. There was no sense of accomplishment when racing well.

GTA series is a great series for cheats and probably the only game I use them for. When you just want to have some fun in the game world, change physics, experiment, see funny stuff etc., "cheats" are the way to go.

Laughing at these responses. Postmortem is a term used by BluesNews and others in the industry for ALL games and their related "wrap up" type post release articles.....

Ideally spring-loaded Jesus would forgive you of your sins *after* he whisks you away to a paradise brimming with booze and nake girls.

Crap, booze and naked girls are sinful? I'm screwed.

PropheT's final paragraph has to be the finest piece of writing I've witnessed here at Blues in a long while.

rFactor

With all the high quality mods for this one, we don't need any others.

Exactly Jerykk. Those movies did great at the Oscar's, but nobody cared (watched), because they were not broad appeal movies.

"That's what I've been wondering. While there are obvious financial benefits to making a game with broad appeal, I really can't understand the artistic appeal. If movies were made to be accessible to anyone, we wouldn't have films like There Will Be Blood or No Country For Old Men."

Those movies, which I agree were great, did bad at the box office and lead to bad ratings for the Oscars. So it is fairly easy to see why Hollywood and developers would rather try to develop for a broader mass. Unfortunately, they don't usually know how to mass market and produce quality at the same time.

I'm guessing it's a fairly tricky line to walk, otherwise more people would have gotten it right by now.

+10 to SamuraiSaint for bringing back fond memories of Herzog Zwei! That game was so ahead of it's time. Not to mention really great to play.
