Gutshot

Whatever. Vote with your cash. I don't think it's a possible trend, I think it is THE new trend, and the way it will be with EA with every game from now on. It's their choice and it's my choice not to buy their games also. Simple as that. BC2 and that fail called MoH were the last ones I'll ever buy with that system.

As tempting as BF3 is right now, due to the masterful PR campaign and trickled out, carefully planned hype building, I can't help but find myself yawning. As HSMagnet said, very nicely I might add, "zomglookatalltheschtuffwearedoing", it's getting a bit dry. In the end, BF3 may be a bit of fun to play, but, I'll be willing to bet it will be business as usual in the end. Game hype has gotten to be so redundant it's actually boring and degrading. Here's an idea Dice. Hire John Gibson to promote your game. Let the man tell about the features in clear, concise terms. Let him speak openly about the game and give ass-kicking demos of it. If a feature isn't going to be available, then Mr. Gibson will just say "no, that won't be in there". Much better than the current community manager method of saying "ghskfefklzdmvdlvsdllkzffkkl" What did he just say? Idk, it's cloaked in PR speak, please spend the next few weeks trying to decipher it in forums and webcasts, be sure to add plenty of opinion and speculation.

Yeah, I love both of those games also. Actually, I like anything TWI does. Real games for gamers by real gamers. Screw the pandering and PR speak, I'm over that with the blockbuster guys. Time to support a game company that actually feeds my needs.

Lol, no Low Ping Game Servers on the list......Fail. Nope, will wait for HoS. Can't wait to play a real PC game anyway. Screw all of this other shat. It's all tripe. Tired of it.

Almost built a new rig with this new platform. Glad I decided to stick with my old i7.

Here's a nice little review of the game as it is now, by ibleed v2.0. This is a true PC game that will be big, I believe. I am hoping that it will be a title I can enjoy for a long time to come. Just like the PC games of old. Anyway, this is a good read. http://bashandslash.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1227&Itemid=78

Thanks for keeping it going Gents! Your efforts are definitely appreciated, on behalf of NTD-Gaming. And myself.

Lol, a cynical group around here. I, for one, am hoping this title will live up to it's name. I also hope they don't join the rest and use that piece of crap known as Vac. Keep the tradition going and stick with PB. It has it's flaws, but it works well enough. I think Vac is ghostware and doesn't really do anything at all.

Better read this guys. Deal Breaker or no? http://www.breachgame.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=56#p56

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! Great job to MaydaX and the entire staff of PBBans for running a top notch website and streaming system. Also, Cheers to Kalms for going above and beyond to support Dice games! Thanks for everything!

Just doing a little trolling here.... I think Drifter nailed it. It is about your Buds and shooting them in the face, and about the community built around it all. But, at any rate, all is far from lost. People act like COD is the be all, end all of PC gaming, and if it's not good, then all is lost and might as well take up basket weaving or something. It's a fart in the wind actually. Nothing more. There are plenty of new titles coming up and there is bound to be one that catches the attention of the hardcore PC player.

I know, VAC is a big time bummer with HoS. My personal hope is that, because of a primarily adult, hardcore PC gamer playerbase, the hacks will be at a minimum. Combine that with a playerbase and server admins that take this game very seriously, and I don't think you will have the typical console port, blockbuster game cheater/ noob atmosphere. At least, that's what I hope.

Yeah, Tripwire is really pouring heart and soul into this title. An actual 100% PC only fps game. Tons and tons of features. Mods, a couple on day 1 release from what I read. Sounds nice to me.

Another example of why this game is a steaming pile. What an over hyped noobfest.

You guys are killing me. Hopefully they won't be too long in coming. I am about to move on to something else if they don't feed my need.

4 new maps, all gametypes compatible, free for PC gamers. I can dig it. http://gamerant.com/battlefield-bad-company-2-adds-four-vip-maps-ev-51403/

Boo! lol Man, I love PB, even with all it's shortcomings. But, I believe, even the game I'm waiting for, HoS, will more than likely have VAC. What can a guy do? COD without PB/PBBans is going to be hell on honest players. Too many kids are going to be buying it. Server admins are going to be spending more time spectating players than playing the game. Glad I'm running away from that whole fiasco.

There are plenty, I'm sure, in any of the big devs that would like to shit can PC games altogether and go for the easy money. It's cool that a Dice rep comes here to help out though, very cool. Definitely a class act. You know what would be pretty hilarious? About 4 to 8 new maps for BC2 on the same day that COD: BO releases. I can dream. It's not illegal.

It runs pretty good for me too. Actually, it runs perfect, especially after the newest patch. I don't recall seeing a dev from Trey or IW on these forums or any other, except on Bash to promote some game feature or video. Kalms comes around here pretty often from what I've seen. That's worth quite a bit to me. I think Dice get's more abuse from PC gamers than they deserve. Not even talking about here, but on game forums in general. And, btw, I was joking about the game trailer, the BO one looks pretty good. Too bad I'd have to commit supuku if I bought BO.

Lol, well, we'll see how many issues BO has. I remember WaW being a pretty buggy game for a long time after it's release. Everybody said "F'N Treyarch can't write code for crap!" and "Treyarch sucks and WaW is a crappy game!" COD 1 thru 4 were no picnic either. IW didn't get 'er down on the first try either.

Meh, Dice makes better launch trailers.

Man is it horrible. I spent $60 for the most epically horrible multiplayer FPS I've seen in a long time. You guys were smart not to buy it, very smart. And I am a huge fan of BC2, so it's not an anti-Dice statement I'm making. I am completely baffled by what they did with MoH. It's like they didn't care at all about it. Bring on HoS please, quickly.

Doesn't seem to be getting any better for MoH. Had high hopes for it. Major F'n suckage.

Very true. I stand corrected. lol.

That I would buy, long as I could shoot Urkel. I promised myself I wouldn't flame COD anymore. Instead, I'll stick to flaming the hype surrounding it. On some other game forums, you'd think that BO has the cure for cancer embedded in the code. It's like a world event. Line up and buy COD4 with a new paintjob. Only $60 USD. And all the people said "Amen".
