" The resolution patch for Fallout 1/2 PC modifies the .exe I don't know much about MAC, but being a Unix OS I'm guessing it doesn't have .exe's....EDIT: I know technically MAC and OS X isn't the same thing anymore ;P "
I hope the big developers will finally recognise MAC's/OSX's huge install base and gaming potential. Being able to access my Steam profile on the MAC would be very cool.
" I think real ads are fine if they balance it. Games like Burnout Paradise provided a ton of free content, so I don't mind if they throw ads at me. A game like 1 vs 100 I could care less about ads when I can actually win real stuff. To reiterate: if they balance it with free content, I'm all for it. "
Is that coming to the UK? Sounds like something you'd need to play for a long time to win anything too. "
Don't count on it any time soon, they will probably take their time testing it out in the US before porting it to Europe. Looks quite promising though.
I don't mind the ads in my games as long my experience is not affected by them in any negative way like interrupting the action to make me watch something product-related or not fitting into the general vibe of the game (modern ads in a fantasy world, real-life ads in a GTA game).
If implemented well into the environment ads can actually increase the feeling of immersion. This is something game developers should consider devoting more time to.
I am more worried about the future of the advertisement usage in games. Sure, at the moment it might be limited to billboards and posters but I wouldn't want the trend to evolve much further from there.
Currently I am annoyed by the IP-based language settings of the ads which were also mentioned by Strongschwartz. Although I fully understand the reasons behind the technology it still brings me out of the game every time I see an ad in a language other than english based on my locaion.
" There is no better deal for an individual Operation Anchorage right now, no. However, you can get all DLC packs for a good price come the holiday season with the Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition which has all 5 DLC packs for $60. "
