  1. I never implied Rockstar were the only ones, quite the opposite in fact. Thanks in large part to Microsoft's anti-PC-gaming scheeme, most developers these days favor consoles. Rockstar is just one of the best examples...

    Because they made one game that didn't get a PC release?

  2. I miss the cold. So much. It has not really gotten below the 60s here this year. Yesterday it was in the high 70s. There are very few redeeming factors about Southern USA. That is that people are nice and helpful. For the most part they are still dense rednecks. I want to go back north. With snow and fall and everything.

    The lowest it's been in Albuquerque is about 20 degrees. Snow a couple of inches, got to see some people freak out and wreck. Also doubled my 15 minute commute :/ Eh. I like the cold better than the scorching heat.

    Really guys!? I hate the cold so much, temperatures in England are around freezing point at the moment and I fucking hate it, I would much rather be somewhere warm right now. The only time I ever want to be somewhere cold is the few days around Christmas, otherwise it just wouldn't feel like Christmas but other than that give me a tropical island any day of the week!

  3. You are absolutely right Huck. Video games don't make people turn around and think 'oh wait, you know what would be a good idea? Shooting a load of 6 year olds' there is definitely something inherently wrong with a person for them to do that, something caused not by video games but by deep mental issues. It is crazy how certain members of the American public are condemning video games over these shootings but still don't see how being able to buy assault rifles used to equip your army off the shelf is a bad idea. Personally I hope that Barack Obama manages to pass the gun control laws he is suggesting, I mean Clinton managed it in the 90s until Bush took over.

  4. Do you no feel though that you are sort of doing part of Microsoft's job for them? I mean if you are happy with it then great, tha'ts all that counts at the end of the day what I was saying was I would feel a bit cheated if I had spent that much money on an OS that I then had bug fix... Personally I don't think I will be rushing out to get win8 anytime soon maybe if they release a service pack that makes it more user friendly on a desktop then I will consider upgrading.

  5. For the record, I never called you a communist. There is a difference between 'are you a communist?' and 'you are a communist' hint: one of them is a question the other is a statement of fact, given your high command of the English language I thought you would have been able to figure that one out.

    Also you managed to completely ignore the fact that these companies are not forcing people to buy their products. It is Rockstar and Microsofts (and anyone else for that matter) decision how they run their business, what their quality of products are like and how much they charge for them just as it is equally up to the individual whether or not they buy those products. Bottom line: don't like the product or think it isn't worth the price tag, news flash: don't fucking buy it

  6. I will say for those not able to tweak, for business use or for novices, get some help from your local IT guy! They should have the ability, or as well, wait for Windows 9, Win8 is not the mainstay Windows upgrade from Windows 7, they just will promote as they always do the latest, greatest, seems Vista didn't get that treatment

    though.

    As I mentioned a few times, and this year will bear it out, the portable processors are dwarfed by your PC's engine and hardware, to which normal Windows is accustomed to running on, and will see Win8 move toward that end after the initial RT ARM roll out (as I read it)

    The point is though, you would expect the the operating system to not require you to download and install fixes to make it usable, especially not at Microsofts prices. If a feature of the OS is unusable or difficult to use owing to a flaw in the UI design then the OS is a failure

  7. I didn't single out more then one thread about the subject, and I'm also done explaining it in so many words, if you doubt my comments, all of them, then do some homework and don't expect me to waste my time, it's pretty obvious based on some facts why those PC versions from Rockstar Games are lacking, but the open, unanswered question is why they are sporadic in output, and or lacking the quality of AAA titles in PC format, as well, ask yourself why Microsoft is dividing loyalty among PC software and now hardware with tablet SURFACE and Xbox hardware, which is tackled in the same tradition Sony did.

    Because the Housers are a couple of greedy assholes and Microsoft is your usual evil company that would rather sell more garbage than one good product, even if that product is popular as all hell and was proven to take them to the top.

    The point I was making that only seemed Off Topic as you picked the comments apart in quotes making it harder to render a good response for everyone, is that Rockstar don't operate on some foreign business model all their own, the same venues for product exist for all in this Entertainment Marketplace, again, you don't believe me?! Then do some homework and research, but you might be living on some other planet if you still don't see this as fact of the matter.

    I don't believe you because I have no idea what the fuck you're saying. "All their own"? Is that even an expression?

    @Bold: Are you a communist? If you are fair enough but from what I have read of your posts on this forum you seem to be opposed to anyone how makes a profit. Also Microsoft are not some evil company at all. I is up to the individual to decide what operating system they want, Microsoft do not stand and put a gun to their head.

    @Underlined: Not understanding what he says is not a reason to not believe him. That is just ignorance on your part.

    To conclude you appear to be an immature individual who is closed minded towards views and opinions that differ from your own. I suggest you do some growing up pretty quicky :)

  8. I am not sure why Microsoft do this... It seems that they go through a development process of releasing a pretty damn good OS (XP), then they announce their new OS (Vista) which turns out to be real pain in the ass, they realise they have fucked up so they announce their latest OS (7) which is essentially the previous OS but better and without all the bullshit and now they have announced 8 and its terrible for desktops. What goes in their offices every other iteration? Do they get cocky and carried away? Still I am fairly certain I wont be getting windows 8 I will just wait for their next OS which based on past experience should be fantastic.

  9. People like rap music because rap music sound cool and according to some people, "badass".

    That is a very subjective point of view.

    I like SOME rap music. Anyone here heard of a band called Flobots? They are awesome, they rap but they rap about meangingful things, they have a political message.

    Eminem is one of my favourite solo artists, some of his songs are distinctly awful namely some off of the 'Encore' album but a lot of his songs are also meaningful, you can tell by listening to them he has put a part of himself into the song, he even has the ocassional inspirational song.

    Anyway...

    There's not really a lot of music I wont listen to really, I enjoy rap, rock, metal, pirate metal, dub step, drum and bass, house, garage all sorts really.

  10. I have to say I have not really played to many different FPS's. I have played CoD loads and loved it, yeah there have been some shitty iterations (World at War, Black Ops) but I have not played any other online FPS that I prefer. Most of my friends tell me that I am a moron for preferring CoD over Battlefield, but I honestly do not enjoy playing Battlefield, maybe because I haven't played it an awful lot and haven't really given it the time to adjust from CoD but it didn't really make me want to keep playing like CoD does as for the others on the list Counter Strike annoys the hell out of me unless I am playing on a private server with my friends (and even then it pisses me off because they are all better at it than I am :P). I played Medal of Honor: 'cap that Jap'. I called it 'cap that Jap' not because I am racist but because I can't remember what the name of it is for the life of me and thats what Llama and I called it back when we used to play it on PS2, that was great fun but the AI did have an affinity for jumping all over the place which, I guess, made it funnier to play. The rest of them I have never played.

    Edit: It might possibly be called Medal of Honor: Rising Sun....

  11. Well, if they are keeping it in fictional America then I see British, Finnish, Sweedish and African as unlikely.

    San Andreas had British in it.. Vice City had British.. Including the radio stations. In fact, even GTA IV has British in it.. Sure in GTA IV you hardly you see them, but they are there (and what about ricky gevis, eh? last time i checked.. He's British). So im pretty sure this one will have as well considering every past GTA game have had British. Bring back danny dyer, thats what I say

    Right well seeing as i made that post 3 years ago I can't be sure what I meant by it but I am sure I was referring to the playable character not NPC's. I am well aware that R* has included NPC's of various races and nationailities in their games.

  12. I agree with Vasco, I mean sure not everyone is going to like every station in GTA IV but there was enough there to hold my attention, and in fairness Rockstar know that they can't cater for everyone, hence the introduction of independence FM and before that the custom user soundtrack in San Andreas. So really if you don't like any of the radio stations in the game (which I find very difficult to believe) just use independence FM.

    On a side note I must say that the soundtrack I have liked the most so far has got to be San Andreas, k-Rose and Radio X where simply amazing (plus the ocassional Radio Los Santos, the DJ i forget his name, amused me, as did the Radio X DJ).

  13. I think the gang system should implemented separately to a multiplayer community type thing. I reckon the gang system should be like a prestige sort of thing, so only the 'veterans' as Gerard put it can be affiliated to a gang, sort of like a long service reward?

    EDIT: And then if the gangs want to have some sort of 'gang war' they can arrange between themselves what game/platform to play it on.

    In that case you guys should re-introduce the gangs atleast for those who actually play online. It is the duty of the gang members regarding how they online matches and organise them.

    Yeah but IMO it should be made explicitly clear that only a very select amount of members can join/start a gang otherwise what happened before will happen again, you will get loads of different gangs some of which aren't even active and the Dons will be getting harrassed every other day by someone new to join their gang when they have literally just finished their forum registration.

  15. On topic: My favourite racing game has got to be Need For Speed: Most Wanted. I think it is the best out of the whole NFS franchise. It had the most to offer in terms of vehicle customisation

    Nope. In fact it probably has the least customization options. Even Undercover has more...

    Ok let me rephrase it had the most to offer in terms of sensible customization options I don't wanna spend my time changing how wide the grill on my fender is, that shit is just retarded.

  16. Most of what I have heard is that MW3 is really really bad, but I haven't played it yet as I am too poor to actually buy the game... I guess I will end up buying it eventually, if for nothing else to continue the story, say what you want about MW3 but I really enjoyed the story... Multiplayer was alright too

  17. One of my housemates was a 21 year old fresher last year, besides I am gunna be 21 in may and I am still in 1st year lol. So yeah people should come to Canterbury because it's blatantly the best place to meet up...
