Found out half the advertised mod support ain’t there its a copy and paste job using big chunks of the old unreal 20004 engine.

hint reason load times are so bad its useing ut2004 file manager

ut2004 file manager was programed by some retard who dosen’t know how to do proper file search with out opening up all sorts of random file path combos…

filemon.exe showed that the 2 games behaved the same when loading files this issue was presented to epic before and just swept under the rug by epic.

epic it self has become some what corrupt and hideing the truth i hope it they get the idea that alot of ppl are not stupid nor do we like to be brushed off.

also i think consoles are not in any way superior to the pc, why you ask simple you can upgrade and have a insaine sound system with massive screens ect can you do all that on a console? mabey in 10 years after they read this post…

Finally someone with a real gripe about a console (no offense Skaarj Sauce fan…I agree that games like the sims would be difficult to pull off on a console…but with RTS and RPG games…it comes down to the game and the way the controls are done…a great example is Oblivion…that game is so much fun on the console and the controls really are easy to use)…

As a PC gamer that jumped ship years ago…the console controllers really did suck…after a year or so of playing with them…they finally felt right in my hands…it took me about 2 years to get back to where I was with a FPS game… To this day I still think a PC Gamer using keyboard and mouse of the same skill would beat a console player using a controller at a FPS. At least Sony has seen the light and you can use a keyboard and mouse on the PS3(not a Sony fanboy…I actually hate the company…but they made a damn fine console in the PS3).

If you are happy with what you play on…that is all that really matters…but for all those EPIC and Cliff haters…this really could be the end…if EPIC pulls out…who is to stop the next guy from doing the same? Lose a few more game publishers and all of sudden the PC doesn’t have as many new games coming out each year…more people will leave for the consoles and even fewer games the following year…

Outside of a few games on the PC…consoles have every game and the game play is much better.

Go load up COD4 or Assassins Creed on your computer and let me know how that works out for you…bet it plays like shit unless you just purchased a gaming rig in the last 6 months.

Take your cheap shots at console players….it is all you have. Morons like you saying shit like only people that don’t know to open notepad.exe …the games are better, they play out of the box…and I don’t have to worry if my 2 year old console will play the game…if it is made for the console…it just works.

Say all that you want that upgrades and tweaking a computer are myth…anyone that has actually worked on computers or plays current games (not the bull shit that came out 5 years ago for the PC) knows that you have to have a pretty expensive computer to achieve what a console does.

The PC game industry as we knew it is dead. A title here and there may keep it on life support for a few more years…and the old farts who can’t handle change will keep its glory day memories alive…just about any new gamer will play on the console and hack your government on their PC.

If you are stuck on the PC…good for you. Just because it is what you like…doesn’t make it better. If you actually did a little research instead of just drinking the water…you’d would have already seen that the consoles are much better for gaming.

Those who claim not to understand why there are still so many PC Gamers left in the world? well… it’s simply much better as a gaming platform then those simple gadgets made for the intelectualy chalenged they call “Consoles” made for crappy games. In all seriousness, consoles are a great platform for those who don’t even know how to start notepad.exe, let alone their games on a PC.
The constant PC upgrades and expensiveness IS indeed a MYTH. You’ve been solde the Idea and swallowed it like a bottle of water after a 30Km run.Most of you who believe that bullshit didn’t even lived this experience. One day someone told sang that crap to ya and you just followed “Yeah… thats right!” like the none-knowledgeble person that you are.

Piraty… Yeah… Piracy. Did anyone know that allot of the craked games that end on Torrents are either released by someone at the company OR are cracked and released on torrents by other Game developers in order to hurt eachothers business? Did you know that this is a big setup for the general acceptance of copyright third party software? So that they can get a foot in the door of our PC(Broadband “Always On” Connection, how many actualy disconnect when not browsing the internet). In part they use this as an excuse to sale more gaming consoles. And their real aganda behind it all? Licencing… because they can’t prevent you from having 1 software on more then 1 PC OR is extremly difficult. Just in the attempt to get that little extra cash… $5 million profit in not enough… lets try to get that extra $750000.

Anyhow, PC Gaming and Gamers are here to stay. No worries.

Truthfully so, there are so many misconceptions that he brings about PC gaming. Espiecally since his games didn’t sell particularly too well on the PC (Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3), maybe because 1. we don’t like a crappy port of a console game 2. don’t release UT3 without any PR and marketing behind it and expect to sell the game until you figure out when you play the game, PC gamers are getting butt****ed with the lack of originality and plays like UT2K4.

How come then games developed for the PC. S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Crysis, and The Witcher manged to be so successful then?

Cliffy B. no one is impressed by your “bold statements” you just made yourself look like an ass and the PC gaming audience could care less given that we have evolved away from your “hardcore style of gaming” that was so popular in 1999.

Good riddance.

Casual games are moving to the console, that’s definitely true, and it does reduce the PC gamer population.

However, there are genres that just don’t translate well to consoles: FPS (keyboard + mouse >> auto-aim + controller), MMORPG, RTS, turned-based strategy, sims-type mini-universe games, long/complex/rich RPGs (at least I find them more enjoyable on PC).

There are also genres that feel more at ease on a console: driving/flying simulation games, good old beat-em-ups, simple (but good) adventure/rpg games that have less complex interfaces/gameplay, and casual-friendly stuff (Wii games).

The rest that tends to get shoved on consoles are the shitty stuff like pseudo-FPS (Halo, etc…), bad RPGs and such. No one will miss them on the PC. The consoles offer a more homogeneous design environment and it’s understandable that studios that are just pushing out commercial products would find it more cost effective and faster to put stuff out on console. There is also the illusion that PC games are easier to pirate, so that there is an increasingly strong preference to develop online games for the PC (or multiplayer games mascarading as online games, like Guild Wars, where the online component is only to provide a sort of 3D lobby, forced update and make piracy meaningless). But these trends in no way mean PC gaming is dying, the numbers are there to prove it. Just ask companies, unlike Epic, which haven’t failed on the PC recently by virtue of their own incompetence: Valve, Blizzard, any of the big MMO companies, or the many other smaller studios making good money and good games on the PC.
