Yeah it isn't.

I win. I also used the avatar on this forum before him. So quit bugging me on Steam :[

Oh so that makes you correct in buying the game? I mean it's totally cool if you're poor. Man I'm just gonna head on down to the car dealership, I don't have the money to buy it but hey, I totally think I deserve it. edit: I mean I would never buy the car anyways, but since I can *technically* lockpick the door and hotwire the engine, that makes it totally legit.

man i was really hoping people would argue with me instead... :[

EA/Activision are publishers, and big enough that one bad game doesn't hurt them. Like I said, it's the little people that get hurt, Black Isle Studios, Pandemic Studios, etc. They all burned for a reason, not to say piracy was the main factor for these two but rather it is the LITTLE PEOPLE WHO GET HURT. Don't judge the game industry by publishers, if you do it looks like gaming itself is in GREAT shape. Until you look at the developers and their situation (Infinity Ward, anyone?)

Although I hate Afamad I completely agree. People don't port as many games for this simple fact that it is A LOT easier to pirate on the PC, we can look at the PS3 ( a year ago) and say that it was doing well because it still had a lot of developers clinging to it due to no piracy. I personally believe the industry itself isn't going to crumble to piracy but you need to understand it's the little people who get hurt by piracy more than anything else. It's also the little people who generally innovate more often than big time developers like the (several) creators of CoD and the Battlefield. (I'm saying more along the lines that when you create sequels innovation occurs less than when you make two completely different games, etc) Needless to say, piracy "hypothetically" hurts sales, there's no denying it and we don't need rhetoric bullshit to provide/disprove it, people who cling to the idea that piracy doesn't hurt game sales are disillusioned. Anyway, point being, PC gaming is not "dead," nor will it most likely be more dead than any console in the near future. But when shit like this happens it is understandable to say "fuck pirates." Because it's the people who are going to download it. And remember what happened with Valve's leak of HL2, it wasn't some small deal, it really fucked them around.

I'd say yeah but before anything I think we need to remember why the servers died in the original place before we even bother thinking about reviving it.

can i punch afamad in the back of the head?

Bad Dog that was your chance to ban him.

needs more dickgirls for fullmetal's taste. thevirus browses reddit?

No no no no no keep the map PLEASE. I love making bread. I can't believe you would nominate a map for removal like this and still keep rp-dm_equilbre

poop.

we have post count disabled in off topic, right?

im pretty sure the same type of repetitiveness in games exists in all genres and i'm willing to bet bulletstorm will be one of the worst games of 2011 and won't make 1/4 of what any cod game has made (except rhe shitty portable console versions of cod)

anyone else disappointed when they look down and see the size of their penis?

Actually I ended up getting the Galaxy card. I'm able to run BC2 on high (even with 32x aa ), and GTA IV will run high, but won't hit the top without hitting 30-40 fps. GPU temps aren't too bad, definitely not as much as the 8800gt. Idling right now is 31c with fan at 25%, in game it runs at 40-50's when im stressing it, with fan on obviously. Unluckily Potshot was right about the fan, loud. I've started getting used to it but without the headphones you can notice it above my other 3 fans. As far as it goes, for $105 + Mafia 2 CD-Key i'll attempt at selling, I think it was a good purchase, it won't be that great in the future, but it was more than a step up from my shitty 8800gt. Shit that card used to idle at 60c. Oh, and before I forget, the best I could OC was 850/1600/2000 with stability, googled and nobody gets further than that it looks like. Also note I did take your guys opinion into account, I actually kind of wanted to get the Hawk card but just can't be arsed spending $60 more, as little as that seems in the difference in performance I could have probably gotten.

CS major most likely. I want to become a technical writer and write computer language learning books, but I wanna make applications too! It'd definitely be awesome to work for a gaming company, but I'd settle working at a cubicle maintaining Visual Studio :[ Oh fuck you already, unlike you, some of us may actually be good at what we go to college for. Some of us may learn discipline, pay attention in school, and actually make something of themselves instead of sitting on the internet calling out kids on online forums and playing games. Just kidding, everyone here will fail.

Hi, I'm trying to decide which GTX 460 I should get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162058&cm_re=Galaxy_GTX_460-_-14-162-058-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127518&cm_re=MSI_GTX_460-_-14-127-518-_-Product For one, the MSI GTX has these advantages: Best cooling system (hits 55c on benchmarks done by tomshardware while most gtx 460 cards hit 70 (galaxy card however was not tested)). 1GB VRAM, Better Core/Shader clockings, and bigger memory interface). However, the Galaxy card is MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper after rebate, if i were to get this, and the MSI's Rebate will expire before it even arrives. So I don't think rebates will play much part in this. But the card itself sits at $190 (the MSI), and the Galaxy at $145. Huge price gap not too mention my resolution isn't too high so I don't need much vram. Clockings I'm on the fence about. I've seen people clock the MSI uberhigh, and I think if I redo my wiring i could get all my fans to work, right now I'm using a 8800GT and that's a much hotter card than the GTX 460's could ever be. So I dunno, the Galaxy I could get away with overclocking as well, may be able to even hit what MSI uses but not past that, no way. So I dunno, the price gap is definitely putting me on the fence, and even the Galaxy would probably double up my FPS. What do you all think?

ya sure Jazzyy is my EA Username.

Scapegoating EA/Dice for the server being empty isn't reasonable when there were servers out there during that time that were constantly full.
