"I've always thought controllers had too many buttons."


BWHAHAHA!

Wow. All 8 or 10 of them. All those buttons. It's a total mindfuck that anyone can keep track of that many buttons.


Well, you have to keep in mind that cliffy can only count to 3, so for him any number larger than that gets very confusing.

"He made a couple other absurd comments such as equating the difficulty of learning a game as that of telling someone they have to learn Spanish before they can enjoy this game. "

To use the immortal words of Tycho Brahe. CliffyB is the Dalai Lama of fucking retards.

Mark Rein is going to save PC Gaming! Woohoo! With what Mark? UT 2K9? 2K11? Gears of Wars 7? Man, I can't wait to see what massive innovation you monkeys will come up with.

The only one that can fucking save PC gaming is Stardock.

If CliffyB really said that then Mark Rein's description of him as an idiot is completely accurate. That said, if the best game ever made required knowledge of the Spanish language, wouldn't you want to learn Spanish so that you could play it? Hell, I learned Latin and Greek so that I could read Vergil and Homer, and that was entirely worth it. If a game isn't worth the learning curve, then that's a strike against the quality and depth of experience provided by the game not against learning curves in general.

Arma virumque cano, Trojae qui primus ab oris
Italiam fato profugus Lavinaque venit
Litora -- multum ille et terris jactatus et alto
Vi superum, saevae memorem Junonis ob iras.

Of arms and the man I sing, who first came from Trojan coasts to Italy and Lavinian shores exiled by fate -- much that man was buffeted both on land and on the ocean deep by the violence of the High Ones, on account of the unforgetting angers of cruel Juno.

Sorry, couldn't help myself from doing some Latin.

In short, developers are shitting all over the core gaming community that helped make the industry in the first place. That's the biggest problem I see with the industry.


theyre also showing how lazy the industry has become in creating new and innovative games. when was the last time cliffy made a new game? gears of war is just a twist on the unreal story. console controllers only mean one thing... dumbed down gameplay.

He made a couple other absurd comments such as equating the difficulty of learning a game as that of telling someone they have to learn Spanish before they can enjoy this game. It's amusing.

Heh, yeah, that one was pretty bad. Though, the whole Bonus Round was pretty bad for that matter. When asked what problems the games industry faced, none of the developers stated how games are being made more accessible at the expense of depth, innovation and challenge. In short, developers are shitting all over the core gaming community that helped make the industry in the first place. That's the biggest problem I see with the industry.

Yeah, tell me about it. :\

If you check out the latest, Bonus Round show on GameTrailers you can hear CliffyB say:

In the end, all this effort (if you can call it that) will amount to one thing. Stopping piracy. PCGA = RIAA = MPAA. And when you consider that the best these asswipes are going to offer are shitty MMO's and shitty console ports, it may be time to just throw in the towel. It sure as hell isn't worth another round of hardware upgrades to get a machine to match what ever specification this group proposes. (The hardware guys will have to get something out of this too.)

"Can These Men Save PC Gaming? on Tom's Games (thanks BeyondUnreal) offers a Q&A with Epic's Mark Rein on the new PC Gaming Alliance (story)."


Great, we have the kings of shitty consolized PC games discussing how to save PC gaming, we are doomed with these assholes in charge, why isnt a company that actually cares about pc gaming like valve in on this "alliance"
