• • Not the deth of a genre, Death of a generation

  • I don't think buying gold or using bots is very savvy at all. Some savvy guy programmed a botting program and that guy is. I don't mind those hardcore guys so much. I do mind the grass is greener guys that force games to come out too soon or cause one to shut down when it very well could be a great game. Vanguard is a great game by many standards but it wont do very well, probobly, due to the fact that after that first taste people moved to something else and then something else till the sit here and talk about darfall all day.

    When there was less to choose from people had to actually see things through in order to make a pretty well educated opinion. I've always existed along side of the hardcore audience. I don't mind them. I just let them do they're thing and I usually stick with a more communal group.

  • I don't think we disagree much at all. My point is more of a personal notion that this genre and PC gaming in general is being marketed towards people that buy very specific types of games. This discourages developers from making some of the more creative games. I mean honestly how many WWII games do we need? How many really great ideas are being passed up for this slack jawed audience for thier money. Thats whats ruining the PC game genre all together.

• • Final Build (Possibly, Suggestions Please)

  • What I meant was that a 32 bit OS will only allow 4 gigs of memory TOTAL. So if you have 2 GB of it being used by the Vid cards then only 2 GB of your ram will be seen by windows xp.

    For example I have vista 32 bit and I have 4 gigs of ram and a 512 MB Video card so windows sees me as having 3.35 or so gigs of ram. Not sure where the other .15 gigs goes...

  • I am most definately not into the idea of giving up. I admit I have a doom and gloom outlook right now, but that has to do with today. I would love PC games to make a triumphant return to there rightful place in awesomeness. One hope I do have, and it seems to be working, is that consoles will slowly pull people out of the PC gaming market so we get less console-like games and move back towards PC games. I think the studios are making a mistake trying to compete with consoles on thier own turf.

    Back in the day (early-mid 90's) PC didn't compete with Nintendo/Sega and that made for both sides doing what they do best.

    By the way I'm only 25 and have been playing on PC since I was 5. Yes 5 I was babysat at my grandmothers and she was into PC's and I wanted to do it too. I built my first PC at 11. so I'm not over the hill by any means and I do find games today that I do enjoy.

    Now one person mentioned that there are so many games its easy to just leave one behind in favor of another. Its this perpetual grass is greener syndrome that really seems to cause MMO's to fail these days. There is no sense of exploring past the first 1 or 2 things you don't like. You can just leave for the next thing and then when your out of options come to these forums and get mad about how your hypothetical MMO doesn't exist yet.
