On the topic of the subscription system return, included in Bill's update is word that the Founder's Club offer will be extended to account for this downtime, and a further announcement on this topic will follow.

Let me guess: Win a date with Bill Roper.

Have fun with that...

I wouldn't mind that... get a chance to drag him in an alley and beat the living snot out of him for trying to steer the PC Gaming Industry into the spyware, adware, phone-home-ware industries AND also Pay for the "privilige" of these things through a subscription model.

I'd also love to smack anyone that has subscribed to this game for helping support such a dangerous "precedent" of what a consumer is willing to accept.

Oh well... PC gaming is about dead anyway... subscription models, in-game ads, activation and rootkit copy protection, artificial forced upgrades (hardware and OS), etc. etc.

Way to kill off your customer base, dudes!

Probably to make it non-specific to pre-orders. As I mentioned in one of the other threads, seems pretty stupid to make Lifetime Subscription offer for pre-orders only after the game has been released.

Now this is more like what they prob had in mind for this game. very stable, npcs that help you with quests and working monster A.I. I did preorder this awhile ago but im not gonna pay agian for it. So far its a decent game once you get to level 10.

Oh well... PC gaming is about dead anyway...

Gee I have never heard anyone say that before over the last 5 or more years.

According to people like you PC gaming died years ago.

I want some of whatever Bill is smoking.

PC Gaming has always been dieing and something has always come along to save it. To be honest, I don't think it's dieing at all. It's just that console games are becoming incredibly popular these days so, relatively, it seems as though PC gaming is dieing.

I thought PC gaming was dieing in the mid nineties, I thought it was dieing in the late nineties, I thought it was dieing in the earlier part of this decade and I thought it was dieing just a couple years ago. Yet it's still here. It always seems particularly dire near the beginning of a new console-generation, but it always comes back again.

Not to mention production budgets are bigger than ever although they're dwarfed by console production budgets. There are also still a lot of small PC-gaming outfits, something consoles are lacking due to royalties and expensive development kits.

There's no point in predicting the death of PC gaming. Only time will tell.

Love,
Aero

...and you don't think some of thats not coming to console games?

By the next generation of consoles there will be a move towards merging the platforms to take advantage of digital distribution and that includes the PC. Having to make several different SKU's along with the marketing and money needed to support a dedicated platform is becoming prohibitive.

this game would be better if it wasnt a piece of shit

this game would be better if it wasnt a piece of shit

Boring shit I'd like to add. Well, if this was a game from some new dev, i would say: "Nice try, much potential, next game from this dev might be great!"

But looking at the credits i just say: "Wtf? What is this? Am i supposed to buy this crap? I expexted some great game from you guys. But not this ..."

this was never as much of a game as it was a marketing experiment.. from its conception to completion it spoke more of "making money" than "entertainment"

easy to see how its not really super fun to play - thats not the focus

as someone who grew up with video games, this particular "game" is more of an insult than anything else.. so likewise, the whole dev team can shove it up their ass

Cry cry cry

Despite the whiners and asshats on these forums and comment posters that will attack this game constantly, it is a great game. Played it all weekend with some friends from my WoW guild and this game does indeed kick ass. Ignore the pompous buffoons on this site and if you think you will like the game, pick it up. Its a great time especially when you group and frag shit

Oh you grew up "with video games"?

Well, aren't you special, that must have been hard. Yup I guess you are the expert then. I mean NONE of us here grew up with video games.

the only pompous buffoons here are those who think they can only frag in a group by subscribing to this game.

I grew up on the streets with just a bfg and a lollypop

The reviews speak for themselves.

Right now there are only 8 but there will be more and that will give a better indication of the quality of the game.

psst... soldat. you misunderstood what i said. i meant to say that there are other games that allow you to play as a group besides hellgate.

The reviews speak for themselves.

i take the pc gamer (US not UK) review with a huge grain of salt. these are the same guys who think that shadowrun is a fun game.
