People once again show that whatever new game comes out that has a little bit of name recognition or marketing, it will sell number 1 on steam. It's no wonder that publishers don't like to release their big games at the same time for fear of competition.

RAGE is not worth 60 bucks people! I am offended!

I sure as hell didn't pay $60 for it, $20 from online cd-key site.

It's well worth that amount, but not $60 by a long shot.

That shows how much you idiots know. RAGE is well worth the price. You guys are just to fucking cheap, and pathetic on top of that.

I love how you guys who haven’t even played through the game will sit in here and bitch about the game. Now if you had played it and didn’t pay for it. then you’re a fucking low life scum sucking pirate and its morons like you guys who have helped destroy PC gaming and brought it to what it is now.

Of course, big name publishers release their big games at the same time pretty often, so your statement is kind of flawed there.

That said, I agree that it's not worth 60 bucks. Pick it up when it's on sale for 10.

I will say this. I cannot say too much, but I will hint towards the truth. The reason for the change of heart is not the outcry of lack of release in other countries. Rather, the world wide launch would mean more people would buy it before they hear the reviews that will come out shortly after release (or the NDA is lifted). That is all what I am going to say. Oo

Not Syndicate. Looks boring, too. Wouldn't matter to me if it looked awesome, though. They wasted the Syndicate IP on a game that uses so little of it (except the name) it could have been called anything else and no one would have confused it with Syndicate. This isn't Syndicate. Fuck off, EA. Fuck off, Starbreeze. Not buying. And the rest of you drones who continue to purchase crap like this (and Rage, and X-Com, and Dragon Age 2, and From Dust, and Dungeon Siege 3, and Duke Nukem Forever, and Red Faction: Armageddon, et al) can fuck off as well. Companies will continue to produce PC shit as long as you fanboys and console monkeys keep buying it.

Damn, it's like some of you ADD kiddies grew up on a fricking XBox and just have NO CLUE what a good PC game can be. Just give you aim-assist, an over-the-shoulder third-person view, a lame cover system, insurmountable knee-high barriers to steer you through the map (which you'll likely have to navigate multiple times, with fresh new enemies every time), and you have every consolized piece of dreck released on the PC in the last 5 years. Lost Planet, the Just Cause's, the Dead Space's, Far Cry 2, the Halo's, etc... all games that could have been so much better on the PC.

Not exactly on topic... sorry. Had to vent, though.

It has a 4 fucking GB cap, and you pay 10 bucks for every additional GB. And despite what Verizon and AT&T bleat, 4GBs is fucking NOTHING. Just by normal browsing you can easily destroy that in a month, because the large majority of web pages now have front pages with 5-10MB of content on it. And forget about ever watching a video of any kind anywhere.

A man cannot live on 2-4 HD porn scenes a month. This is entirely unacceptable!!!!!


Oh, was at out loud?

There are two movies called 'SPEED'. One has Sandra Bullock and the other is porn.

How can Bethesda sue for a partial name when other industries seem to be cool with it or even blatantly copying?

Does it boil down to lawyers being dicks? That makes the most sense to me...

"With the company being liquidated it's increasingly unlikely that staff will be repaid any significant percentage of the outstanding amount."

THAT sucks.

Yep. Then again, if you take your boss' "oh, don't worry, I'll pay you once we get paid" bullshit at face value, you're basically running the risk of getting screwed.

Never, ever, EVER take an I.O.U., no matter WHAT industry you're in. Get PAID.

That was actually one thing that impressed me. His public appearances were solely for the benefit of his company; I never recall him pumping up himself on camera, showing off his home, acting entitled or anything in public, or calling attention to the charitable work he did here.

That movie, The Pirates of Silicon Valley? God, how everyone panned that out here. So much embellishment, so little fact. About the both of them.

Yeah, I don't really feel bad. It's apparently a sign of the times to proclaim anything and everything as "THE BEST EVER!" and it's just stupid.

It's a funny ad. Perhaps even a nostalgic one. It's not the best ad ever. (or even the best videogame ad ever.)

Those that say so are still mouthbreathers. Or monkeys with bad allergies, as space captain so eloquently pointed out. I'm not really sure how that's even stereotyping, but if it makes you feel better to call it that, go for it. I'm all for self-empowerment.

We need a big push for games with extremely modest sysreqs (and that aren't pavlovs dogshit, obviously). Everyone has a laptop, everyone's laptop can play deus ex or age of empires, assuming you have a mouse too.

Back in the day everyone had a desktop, and sure, you couldn't play the latest games at the highest resolution on it, but they were at least playable iirc. The average pc used to be more powerful before £300 laptops came along.
