Look at all the people talking about games my computer will never be able to get to the start menu on...wow...

I wanna play FEAR and Painkiller extremely badly but...I don't have a grand and a half.

That's why you have to bleed for it. Save money no matter how low your income is.

My friend got an ultra, high-end blah blah blah PC (the box, without the monitor) for a measly 800$ I think.
I'm getting a 5 times better one next year. Like 1500$ will guarantee that.
He plays Quake4 and FEAR on ULTRA quality with absolutely no lag whatsoever. I want one too .

Has anyone of you tried shadowgrounds by the way? What a wonderful game. Retrogamer could like that game.

^True. Braben went ballistic when the publisher released Frontier at the state it was in at that time. Also, Smart was seriously pissed off when Battlecruiser was released too soon.

"One man's trash is another man's gold", meaning someone could value a game even if it's clogged up with bugs while others will hate the game for the very same bugs. There's no "all that matters to everyone" or anything along that line. Obviously, we all look for different things in games.

That might be true for some games, but no one appreciate game killing bugs that Arcanum and Vampire the Masquerade Redemption had.

I never played those, but I will grant you that Buggerfall was annoying before the fixmap patch, simply because it wouldn't run at all after 1-2 minutes. But after that patch, even the savegames killer bug wasn't that much of a head ache. But to me, it greatly depends on the game: The nicer it is, the more I will ignore the bugs.

What game-killing bugs in VTM Redemption are you talking about ? I finished this game several times on different computers, and though the game wasn't entirely bug-free, I never encountered any game-killing bugs.

[Blood-Pigggy]

One example could be during the last boss (forgot his name) my copy would constantly have the game freeze whenever he tried to eat one of my party members, not only that, but ALL he would ever do is try to eat one of my guys, every time a battle started, he would swallow one up and then the game would freeze, that pissed me off so much, and it has been mentioned in reviews, so I know I'm not the only one.

(A few havens wouldn't let you use them either for some inexplicable reason).

I haven't played Bloodlines yet, but there's nothing to complain about so much if you get the patch first and then play the damned games. BTW, Arcanum WASN'T infested by game killing bugs - just learn to play, dude. No bug encounters in Arcanum whatsoever, unlike TOEE - that game is unfixed even with the newest patch.

BTW, MM - "One man's trash is another man's gold":
So WTF was that? You say that my games are trash if anyone agrees? It's REALLY not the line to use, dude.

No, that is not what I said. The saying is quite known, and simply means that everybody will not agree on what is good or bad. I really don't understand how you could reach your concusion. I thought I made it clear: One man (i.e. you) can value a game that someone else despise. What's the big deal in that?

Puh-leeeze!
