I loved the reaper bot, it was the first fun bot released for Quake... but my heart is with the CTFBots. Oh the memories

I love that the liar and cheat gets killed by the Konami code. Haha.

There isn't a single title in that entire Nintendo list worth getting excited about.

That's a damned shame. Largest installed base, worst library. It's incredible that this system just can't seem to get anything going... this is the largest squandered opportunity in the history of gaming.

Who was the asshole that said this game wouldn't be 29.99 after 1 month?

BAM!
29.99 as Best Buy.

That's not the most recently released game that's been all the rage in the media lately... that's the first one

The first time I saw my brother playing his buddy in Doom, I was amazed that someone was actually on the other side, controlling indigo. Such good times. I'm a network engineer nowadays, and I credit my interest in PCs and networking in general back to that moment.

Digging into initialization strings, hearing my dads voice through the modem speaker as he picked up the family phone (haha), dialing into the Birdhouse BBS to launch the 4-player Doom Doorgame. Oh, the memories.

Even set up our first 10base2 BNC network in the house for 3 player doom between a Packard Bell Pentium 60, Packard Bell Pentium 133, and a Packard Bell 486DX-2 66mhz.

There was a certain magic back then, and it feels like after Quake 2... no game has really caught it.

InBlack, I could hug you right now. I've been dying for some multiplayer Doom, but all my friends know better and CSDoom failed ages ago.

It's not garbage, it's an enjoyable addition to an already enjoyable game. On top of that, it's 10 bucks. Seriously. 10 bucks.

I mean... 10 bucks is two cups of coffee at starbucks. It's one meal at Arbys. It's not even a quarter of a tank of gas. It's less than 1 month of World of Warcraft or Aion.

And half of you bitching about not buying this were going to just pirate it anyway. Going through the defiant self righteous PC gamer motions on a forum doesn't justify anything. DRM broke my PC! DRM broke my Steam! DRM punched my mom in the face! DRM! DRM! DRM!

Can't please a PC user, no matter how hard you try.

Steam has it for 19.99 (mirrors edge), but Direct2Drive has it for 4.95. So I think you guys mean D2D... and speaking of direct2drive, how does it work?

Is there a client, like Steam, or is it just the game in download form?

Curious. Might buy it, even though I have the 360 one... never played it on PC.

I hope ME2 is real. God I hope it is. Please be real. PLEASE.

RE: Blue -

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I definitely see your viewpoint, and I admit there have been more than a few announcement posts that hit the annoyance meter, so this could be a good thing.

Please don't take what I was saying as an attack, now that I am re-reading it from home I realize my tone wasn't what I had intended. Direct reflection of a bad day at work!

Thanks for all that you do. This website and the people in the community here are a one of a kind breed.



RE: Bucky -

I agree. Maybe a button, similar to the forum quote edit delete report style?

Frankly, I don't like the "Continue Here" mechanism at all. If it were an Ajax implementation that would expand without reloading, I would be on board, but redirecting to an entirely new page (and waiting for an entirely new set of ads to load--which is the bulk of the page render times) takes away from the experience quite a bit.

Blues has been my one stop news shop for the gaming world for a long time and I've always considered the presentation as one of the srongest points.

Anyway, I'm here one way or the other, just throwing out the opinion of a very long time reader.

Thanks

PHJF wins this thread for sure

He's ambitious and has the balls to step outside of the safety net to achieve his goals. I give him a lot of credit. Striking out on your own is not easy.

That said, I am looking forward to this. The only Console MMO I've tried was Phantasy Star Univers... and PS:U was really fun for what it was -- Diablo in Space and over the shoulder.

What the fuck?

This list is clearly skewed. No Borderlands, but Batman and AC2? AC2 was terrible, and Batman wasn't much better... and how can L4D2 even be considered? It hasn't been out for 48 hours yet.

Wow.

Quboid, I beat the game twice and hit 50 in single player, didn't play any MP until afterwards. Single player the game is great, multiplayer the game is epic.

Don't shy away from it if MP isn't your bag, it's still a good game alone.

Why would they release something that has broken sound and a fucked up installer, and didn't even run on first launch? Doesn't bode well in the quality department.

Glad I wasn't crazy thinking that melee in Phase Walk was busted.

Bladerunner is a washed up IP from a long gone era. People who buy games nowadays don't even know what Bladerunner is. It's the truth. To live up to the film, they'd have to invest a lot of money -- money they would not see at retail.

Gearbox did the right thing.
