Reply to The iPad Thread in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I'm sorry, but this device could be the best thing ever made and I will never buy one for one simple reason: no user replaceable battery. Battery dies (and it eventually will) you have to send your iPad back to Apple at your cost and pay a $99 fee for a new one, and they can't guarantee that your data and settings won't be lost! I learned my lesson on non-user replaceable batteries and won't consider any device that doesn't allow you to replace it yourself. Add to that no

Reply to Mass Effect 2 and DRM in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

You do realize there are no PC or console specific numbers so you don't know which platform sold the best, correct? I would imagine that the 360 version made up a good portion of the Mass Effect 2 sales while the PC version was torrented to death but I would LOVE to be wrong on that one. I own both Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 for the PC, btw, purchased through Impulse. While the retail (DVD) copies of the game have only a disc check, the digital versions use the standard

Reply to Are you worried about the sudden popularity drop of PC games? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I'm a full time PC gamer with only a Wii as my "current gen" console and I am a bit worried for PC gaming. While there are still plenty of games to play there are few AAA PC exclusives anymore and many PC games are also available on the consoles as well. There isn't any way of getting around the fact that consoles tend to be easier and I can see why many people have given up on PC gaming. Much of the decline of the PC market in recent years is primarily due to one thing; pir

Reply to DLC and Expansions? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I think both have their place, and I enjoy both. I do agree that DLC is really only good for a short period of time after a game is released. I wouldn't play through a game again just to play DLC. That is why you have expansions and sequels. In the case of Dragon Age the expansion makes sense because it expands on the original story. Dragon Age isn't built quite like Mass Effect so I don't know if bringing an entire sequel based in the original game would work.

Reply to DeskScape Massive Crash! in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

[quote who="DanielYetman" reply="9" id="2498805"] That strikes me as somewhat odd, as I update my hardware only through the Device Manager - I admit to having similar problems before with my computer and other programmes, but only when I tried to be a geek and update the drivers manually from the website.[/quote] Upgrading your drivers through the Device Manager only gives you the Microsoft published Windows Update drivers, which are notorious for screwing things up.

Reply to Steam Powered Supcom 2 in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I think that forced integration with one particular client (Steam or otherwise) is a VERY BAD thing. It discourages proper competition.

Reply to "FPS"-type Game Suggestions in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Bioshock - but there is a gore factor in that game. There is quite a bit of blood in some scenes. The game is awesome, though. The best FPS I have ever played.

Reply to FPS Genre: Is It Going Downhill? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

There of those of us that don't care for online gaming at all. I don't have the time/skill to keep up with the twitch reflex 12 year olds, aimbot/hackers/cheaters and people that have nothing better to do than to play the game 8+ hours a day. I know you don't have to always win to have fun, but it is NOT fun to lose EVERY SINGLE TIME. It gets very old quick. Plus, I've played enough online shooters to have me set for the rest of my life. Despite all of the new ga

Reply to PC game developers mainstreaming themselves into oblivion? in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

While I agree that multiplatform games are hurting PC gaming, it was inevitable given the rising costs to produce AAA games. They need to release it on as many platforms as possible to ensure a proper profit margin. Look at Dragon Age for example. It was originally PC exclusive, then was going to be released for the PC first and consoles later, and ended up being released on all platforms at the same time. I just want 'proper' PC releases for a multiplatform game, no

Reply to Lag Bullcrap in Sins in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Honestly, I think it is just how Sins operates. My PC slows down quite a bit during very large battles, but the scenario itself usually runs okay. I just wish there wasn't as much lag on online games.
