wasn't steam the anti-piracy solution? i don't know anybody who had a legal copy of cs, and yet everyone i know bought cs source because you couldn't pirate it.

also, a lot of people, myself included, do not actually mind paying good money for games. the problem lies in that if i have to decide whether to buy mgs4 for ps3 or the latest offline pc game, i'm going to simply buy mgs4 and pirate the pc game. Honestly, it's hard to argue against paying for something when there are NO direct repercussions of pirating it.

Metal Gear Solid 4 would be around a 9.6-9.9 if GS used the old system of grading imo. Not a 10, but pretty close. Grand Theft Auto 4 would probably be 9.3-9.5.dragonpuppy

i'm curious as to where people get this from, all those "new system" "old system" "they'll-never-give-a-10-again (said when GeOW, most overrated game of all time, got a 9.6)" "9.6-is-the-new-10" quotes. where has gamespot said this, or anything along these lines.

as for the question, going by the fact that gears of war got a 9.6, then yes, they both deserved 10. of course, imo gta iv deserved a 10 regardless.

ok so i just got some **** virus

apparently, this is what it did:

VIRUS INFECTION AREAS: 1. DISABLED YOUR TASK MANAGER. 2.DISABLE REGISTRY EDIT 3.DISABLE DESKTOP PROPERTIES 4.INSTALLED VIRUS AND SPYWARE

(says some other guy who got it)

i don't know what it's called, and i need help getting rid of it. i have avg professional installed and that is doing absolutely nothing atm

please help

No one can say yes or no,since they don't know and can't predict the future.MojondeVACA

that's quite an insight. you should share it with all those who believe that anything in the future will happen. you know, sports tippers, weatherman, economists. i'm sure they would love to hear what you have to say.

This is completely do-able. VMware did it with most operating systems & nobody sued the pants off of them. If you can have virtual machines running on your PC, why not virtual consoles? It's healthy for game developers & exclusives can still get a lion's share of profit from PC users.

The key here is you might have to buy a license for each virtual console. So a virtual PS3 might still cost you $400 which is paid to Sorny. Yes, you would need a blu-ray-rom for your PC. I can wait til the prices come down. Another possibility is that it allows you to use a console on the virtual system provided you own the console already, such as submitting a serial number to a central site for approval.

Secondly, there may be a timed delay on which newly released games can be played on a virtual system. Gears 2 might get released this November, but only be available to play on a virtual system 6 months later, when the prices of the game have fallen in stores, the used market has built up, & general lack of interest.

Lastly, there could be some quirkiness issues on a virtual system. Games may not play 100% as they would on the console. We might as well admit it's a good idea, even if it may not exist.

or maybe he's saying a FAMILY MEMBER went behind his back and he's pissed???

why do i get the feeling most of your girlfriends cheated with you or, when you broke up, ended up with one of those friends? anwyay, that's not the issue here, the issue is the cousin. you're missing the point.

As a lifelong Momma's Boy, who is now realizing what a hold she has over me (and what poor advice Ive been given), yes my mom has ruined a lot of my dreams.

Right now I could be an extremely good, dare I say well-known, chef but that dream was crushed right around when I started applying to colleges.

well yeh sure it would have been easy and definately would have happened exactly like that no doubt about it, damn, that's one big mistake.
