The PC is not a console. You can use it for gaming, but it is by no means a console. We have far more versatility in terms of both  hardware and  software with a wide variety functions and uses, and we like it that way. With that said, explain to me why we have to follow console rules and regulations, a platform which is essentially set in terms of hardware (unless you want to fragment the community), and limited if not inhibited uses. "
Because game companies like that infrastructure better (those that are doing it, which isn't that many) on the PC and are willing to implement it.  If you want to play the game, then yes you have to play by their rules.
 
Why does that versatility mean anything?  If anything that's the problem because most issues on the PC come out of a lack of standardization.  That is why Steam is so popular and frankly good because it is a standard of PC gaming in what it does.
 
Is the post you are quoting correct?  Not entirely but he's on the right track.  It's just on a game-by-game basis that it applies.  Also what "we" are you referring to?  Certainly not me, because I've been placing PC games since the PS2 launched.

I didn't look at the spoilers, but if you just beat the game, I would give STEAM a day if you're going by the client and not any in-game information.  It takes that much to update the played time and I've found it pretty shakey sometimes.  If your save games have any playtime info, I would go off of those.

I found the MAKO to drive pretty well, but then again I played it on the PC and happened to get used to it fairly quickly.  I never had one moment where I felt it was the MAKO's fault.  The weapons on it were quite powerful and I often resorted to staying inside, thinking Shepard was eating tacos while Geth were being blasted.
 
I look forward to the MAKO, although I would love it if it had improvements.

" Thing is though, can you imagine the flack she'd cop if she *did* say that she listened to Jay-Z and could name songs? Jay-Z isn't exactly family friendly, Disney approved material, so Disney would drop Miley in no time flat if she actually 'fessed up to liking Jay-Z. Not saying that she was right in "using" Jay-Z in her song, though. "
Well Jay-Z is mainstream enough where I wouldn't be surprised if she listened to him.  However if she said she liked to pop in Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx on occasion, I would be impressed.

@timay: iBuypower said they do not know anything about it.....  Yes its pre-installed, so I guess ill go buy it...  Does it destroy vista once and for all after installing? "
Installing Windows 7 from Vista creates a Windows.old folder that should contain all your old files.  Generally speaking, back up all your necessary data anyway, and go to ninite.com to get all your mandatory apps going if that's what you need.  You can go without a clean install but I would personally do it.

I've been PC gaming for a while and guess what, dedicated servers didn't mean shit to me.  Just like everyone else I listed the lowest ping games first, then eliminated all empty and full games, and just joined what was left.  That's exactly what the matchmaking does.  It makes "shortest path between two points" connections regarding ping and such and gets you in the game to play it.  How do console players do it, the goddamn millions of them?  How do they have clans, communities, and all that jazz that PC players thought was their thing?
 
In retrospect, PC gamers are probably the whiniest of all the whiners.  Besides their whining hurts the most when we consider that a lot of that whining justifies piracy and in turn hurts a lot of PC development in the process.  Some people are just so hard to please...

I probably will never play this game.  The demand is too high for anyone to lower the price to levels I can reasonably match.  As a result I will miss this one like I did the original Modern Warfare.

Let them have their boycott.  If they're stupid enough to justify this move for themselves, then they deserve what comes with not buying the game.  If they had a good reason, then good.  If not, good too.  Good for all.  Happy Veteran's Day.

People like to make themselves feel better by picking on 16 year old girls who are far more successful than they'll ever be. "
"successful" is a little shakey there.  Financial is the only kind of success I can see her having.
