Zeno Clash is an awesome game. The level of art that goes into the levels is incredible. It also plays great with a xbox 360 controller. A definite BUY.

and to post #92, I think you’re missing the point. There is countless proof that people who pirate, download more.

The thing that is driving PC gaming to hell (which is my favourite gaming platform), is the fact the hardware is going through TOO MUCH development, and stupid development companies are insisting on pushing the latest hardware to it’s limit with beautiful, yet pointless graphics. The only thing that TRULEY matters is the game play and story, graphics come after those.

But in turn, people won’t buy a game cos they’re computer can’t handle, so they have to upgrade, they’re not gonna do it cos’ it cost’s quite a bit of money. And not buy the game. The only thing that’s gonna save PC gaming, is to stop trying so hard to force companies to release new and more powerfull hardware.

The other problem is people’s stupidity at “HD Gaming” with the PS3 and X-Box 360. As soon as they realise that HD gaming has been around for years (obviously with computers), and the fact our computers can go over HD, maybe people will switch.

Other thing you have to remember, is that because a games console is a specialist unit, it specialises in GAMES. So the hardware doesn’t have to be anywhere near as powerful as a computer to run the same game, therefore making it cheaper. And it’s less hassle, unless your unfortunate to have a 360 anyway. haha.

And to solve that problem?
Just hope that Microsoft won’t fuck up W7, cos’ if they do, being an ENORMOUS fan of PC gaming, I may even be led to leave in favour of console gaming, no matter how terrible the controls are, at least it’ll be cheaper.

I wonder how many will agree with me on this???

And I apologise for two simultaneous posts.
If either of these get’s deleted due too this, then I ask to delete my other messege, and not this one.

See, at the moment, I have quite a few downloaded games because I lost my job. As soon as I’ve got another, and out of debt, I’ll go back to buying the games.

Now that I’ve seen how these guys are handling it, I now WANT to download it and see if I like it enough to want to buy it.

I usually go for games I’ve heard good things about, of if I’ve played demos of them, and as a last resort, download them and try the full game for a bit.

I wasn’t considering getting it at all. But it’s downloading in uTorrent now. This will be FIRST on my list games I need to actually buy (if I like it of course).

Thank you to the ACE Team for showing some common sence. We need more development teams just like you.

I preordered via Steam, game is great. I am even happier I bought it now that the dev’s comments have come to light.

A good cheap game, time scales like maxpayne 2 short but sweet, plus the tower section is a good diversion when your bored. Visually impressive and worth the cash.

Sorry to burst your capitalistic bubble, but FREE is here to stay regardless if you like it or not.

Companies either will embrace it like EA (Company of Heroes), ID (Quake Live) or they will die.

Today there is NO reason to purchase a game when there hundreds of FREE alternatives.

LONG LIVE FREEDOM and the Pirate Bay

I’d spit in most of you’re faces you pirating scumbags, who the hell do you think you are thinking you deserve to get whatever you want for FREE and then decide to buy it if you like it. What a bunch of stupid, twisted lowlifes. It’s because of YOU my favorite platform for gaming is becoming extinct and no matter how you try to justify the theft you do it’s still STEALING plain and simple. Why can’t you put it through you’re thick skulls the damage you have done to the PC gaming market??? You take pride in being PC gamers not console gamers but you have destroyed it with piracy.
Don’t worry though things work funny in this world it’s called karma. If you don’t pay for what you steal it’ll hit you in other ways believe that. Keep doing what you are doing and some day there won’t be any PC games left to pirate then what are you going to do go buy a console and ruin them next? You have already done that to the PSP and DS (GTA Chinatown great example)… Keep on patting yourselves on the back but in all reality you are scums and you’ve killed a industry.
