Traditional store distributed pc games have been dying. Just check any of the current online shops like steam or impulse and you will see pages and pages of brand new pc games from both big name developers and indy devs that have really good games but could never convince a major publisher to take the risk of pressing and distributing the disks. I don't even bother with regular stores anymore and just buy from whatever online shop is selling it the cheapest.

Last thing I bough from steam was Cogs over a month ago. None the less that one thing that has changed lately is the rise of indi developers but they're not a pc only phenom, theyre on all platforms.

Yes, Clearly because you haven't bought anything for a WHOLE MONTH from steam, PC gaming is dying!11!

Heh I guess them having made a lazy ass copy of the previous game has some benefits. It seems they just altered the original code, so all the things required to use dedicated servers, console and lean is still part of the program. From reading about the few mods trying to get it working, it seems workable, but IW is threatening some of them with legal action if they don't stop the development.
I don't think that will stop people from making such a mod, but the guy who does it will propably want to remain anonymous.

I have the first game on PC. It was good in parts and I think I got my monies worth, but this new game...doubt I'll get it until it drops in price, which could be quite a while given that it's gonna be more popular than toast.
The game I'm really waiting for is BATTLEFIELD III - just knowing the game is on the way is awesome, before mentioning the facts; PC exclusive...Frostbite 2 game engine...DX11...DICE on-board...destructible environment.
It should be the second coming of multi-player fps...fingers crossed.

I think i might get it in half a year or so if my computer can handle it.
Then the price have gone down and i want to play through the singleplayer. I rather liked it in the first game.

Let me rephrase that, COGs the only thing I have ever bought from steam.
Ghost Recon the first one, was probably the last PC shooter I bought for PC and I'll agree with PC users here, consoles bastardized that game's sequels.

I tried a "demo" version of it, and the entire singleplayer campaign took me a little under 5 hours to complete, now you do have the spec ops bite size missions, but they're not that hot.
So since multiplayer is kinda sucky. You're paying 50 euros or so for 5 hours of gaming.... not exactly a good deal.

None is disputing the fact that console are a massive part of the gaming community, but to say PC gaming is dying because retail stores have small areas for it, is frankly stupid.
You may not PC game as much now, but that doesn't mean many others don't.
I, quite honestly, find console gaming to be dull and moronic, filled with teenagers and bad language.
As far as buying games is concerned, I cannot remember the last time I bough a game from a retail store in the street.
All my games are bough on-line from either steam or play.com, depending on the price.
Also I'm quite aware the Nvidia /AMD ATi make other things than Gaming cards, but graphics cards are a massive part of their industry.
Hence why they get so much support and new cards are released on a regular basis.

Piracy isnt limited to PC of course, but on consoles its alot easier to make that 300$ investment locked out of all the offical stuff.

They have been dying for over 30 years now, though the "console vs pc" gaming argument has only truly begun to raise it's head above the ****pool since the playstation 1.
PC games won't be dying any time soon. The PC is the primary platform for new technologies aswell as the primary platform to go online on, despite what MS execs would have you think. A console is static, and while it serves to make developers use every inch of hardware they're given, true progress is only made on the PC. If there were no PC gaming we'd all still be playing Double Dragon in glorious 320x200 pixels and 256 colors, since there would be no incentive to improve the hardware, and as a result, gameplay possibilities. Do i even have to mention mods?
And lets not gloss over the most important thing: Here you are, saying PC games are dying while you and 300,000 other people are shelling out $15 a month to play just 1 game online, a game which is a pc exclusive through and through.

beat the game on Regular took about 4 hours.. Tried Hardened took about 5 hours.... now I'm on Veteran and it wont take more then 6 hours...
the single player is ok and nothing more just ok... cant play online yet because I didn't buy the game :) not wasting my money on this fail boat! The thing that ****es me of the most is that there is no leaning to the left/right its all strafe all over the map... its rather gay! Now I wait for the Haxxorz to come out with a online crack with dedicated servers :)

Wish the single player was a bit longer, I'm two missions from the end apparently but damn it's very fun.
That said multiplayer is awesome. Been having some good games with EVE players on the 360, brofist to lordswift1 especially.

It didn't take that long before dedicated servers and the rest got done. Not the most flattering example of what is possible, but an example of getting rid of the initial constraints. Linkage

Sometimes a server to just **** around and have fun with is great, especially ina ging games like TF2 and COD 4. The video was more of a demonstration that they CAN modify the servers.

DEDICATED SERVERS FOR MODERN WARFARE 2!
The only catch, it isn't officially supported since hackers got access to the console and were able to set up the dedicated server support themselves. No response from IW or Activision yet, this should be interesting.

I had the opportunity to play COD MW2 for 3 days at release.
I must say - I was pretty appalled that a modern game with such strong sales and so much hype was released with HORRID graphics, a campaign that can be beat in 2 hours and multiplayer featuring the most boring maps ever created for an FPS multiplayer experience (with possibly one or two exceptions).
I'm glad I didn't buy it without trying it.
On the positive side, there were some cool things they did with the story, some neat character reveals and action sequences. I'd have been a lot more content if it was premium DLC content for the previous game somehow, as i've certainly played DLC for other games that cost me about 5-10 bucks that lasted 7x as long.
Of course, people buy/play it for the multiplayer too, but like I hinted at with the map comment, it's largely uninspired and not very interesting. The only thing that kept me going is the desire to unlock various upgrades. But ultimately, it wasn't enough. The maps were definitely the biggest problem for me, and I really have no interest in sitting on it for a few months to wait and be charged a bunch of money to download slightly better mediocre maps when they release them.

Welcome to the era of nickel and dime gaming. This is why these companies use piracy as a scapegoat on the PC. They can't nickel and dime PC users as easily.
Piracy is a red herring anyway so it doesn't matter.

On HD consoles, the graphics are absolutely horrid compared to other games.
Mostly the lighting and textures, less noticeable on characters than everything else.
Probably not as obvious on PC due to higher resolutions but the textures and colors would still look like crap and the lighting is still all wrong.

I don't know if that was the same everywhere with the ad-campaign, but here they kinda said, like superimposed on the screen "the most anticipated game of THE DECADE!". I read a few game magazines and not one of those has ever said something to that effect. I wonder why... haha
It's a game. I personally find it incredibly brave to put a game that has many or most common features missing, on the market, hoping people will still buy it. Let's see in three months what the actual selling stats were in the first few days, AND the stats after.
For me I'm much more excited about Mass Effect 2 which comes in spring. Sure, it's not like CoD but the first one was unique, great story, I cleared that one. To be honest I can't wait for the second.
