I started off two female roommates and they turned into lesbians as soon as I started trying to make the two roommates friends. I mean, I'm all for lesbians, but WTF? Contrary to what pornography might teach us, the girls I know that live together don't start touching each others' boobies just because they watched TV together...
A lot of people don't want to live in the boondocks. Here in New York City the nearest store is next door. That place in Colorado says the nearest store is thirty minutes away, and you'd have to have a car. I don't need a car in New York....
For movement as in walking around, I think you have an interesting point - an analog stick could give you better control than four digital keys and a modifier key that makes you run or walk.
It still feels unnatural to me to control my aim or look direction with a joystick, though. I think if aiming is supposed to be hard, it should be accomplished more naturally, through the game - for example, Deus Ex 1 had a crosshair that would change sizes - if you were running, unskilled with a weapon, or had just fire, it would be huge and you would have a hard time hiting anything. If you were crouching, skilled, and taking careful aim, it would be tiny and you could get headshots. That feels better to me than just depening on cumbersome controls introducing difficulty.
The demo was released with all sorts of XBox settings.
Literally, you can go into the.ini file and see
;this FOV is for the HUD only. On the XBox, we need to keep all HUD elements within 10% of the edges.;FOV__d=68;68 is good for the PC version
FOV__d=61
There's another one called "MouselagThreshold" that's set to 75. It should be set to 0, and that fixes your slow response.
You see, the thing about the PC world is that there are actually multiple hardware manufacturers. So when Phoenix sells this crap to motherboard manufacturers and they start making Trusted Computing motherboards, other motherboard manufacturers will buy other BIOS chips and advertise that their motherboards are DRM-free. I'd say the only computers that actually end up with DRM will be cheap HP and Emachines pieces of crap.
A lot of them can be done better on PC. Some of them can be done the same (platformers, racing games maybe, etc...) Few can be done better on console. (Fighting games, maybe those 4-players on one screen minigame things?)
Most types of games belong on the PC. Any kind of shooter, any kind of strategy game, the more complex RPGs, any management (SimCity-type) game, and any semi-serious simulation game really have to be on the PC.
If they have good taste in music they are quite unlikely to get hordes of followers.

You have to learn to laugh at the absurdness and flat-out ridiculous nature of rap. I mean, when DMX busts out about how he's about to deliver to you, it's hilarious. It's like he's wearing UPS brown shorts. "X gon' give it to ya! Sign here please!"
Time, effort, and materials went into my Creative Nomad Jukebox, only Creative doesn't charge extra to pay their designers to sit around and jack off creating an "image."
He's also the kind of asshole who wants you to get a ticket for sitting down in public or putting "PIZZA CALZONES PASTA" on the sign over your Ray's Pizzeria.
He does let you drink in public though, as long as you are rich.
Somehow I think recognizing intellectual inequality (depending on your meaning of intellectual) and at the same time as seeing economic and social inequality as something we should work towards stamping out is contradictory or at least self-defeating.

Are you kidding? Apple would be WORSE than Microsoft if they could make computers that the majority of the people wanted to buy.
Microsoft at most controls the OS and some of the software, Apple controls the OS, the hardware, and much more of the software...

You actually prefer first person shooters with a gamepad rather than a mouse?
Damn.

If by optimized you mean it takes a brand new computer to run it at 1024x768, sure Gearbox optimized it.
Have they ever made a game for themselves or have they just been other companys' lackeys?
