1) It's not on PC yet IIRC. And I don't observe console games nor do I own one. I can't speak on something I don't have facts on.

2) The fact that major names like Trent Reznor (and Radiohead and others) giving the middle finger to the recording industry surely means something, ain't it?

3) So then it's too bad that I read every review and formed my own opinions on the well-written ones and ignored the bad 'let's give this game free 10/10' ones, rather than looking at the 94%.

4) Evidently you don't observe the 'Top Sellers' list in Steam.

1. it is stated to be released on the PC isn't it? u can go read up on the content itself and tell me is Capcom evil as well...

2. its a number games where majority rules...

3. reviews are not only looking at numbers... my way of looking at reviews? pros and cons... then i'll youtube the vids and decide for myself...

4. sure EVERYONE have to BUY from STEAM...

- however shitty evofantasy replies may be, he certainly did not point a gun at your head over an internet forum forcing you to pay for sc2
hey i'm hurt cry.gif

seriously, as i said look at the reviews and decide for urself...
the TS asked is it worthit now, i say its worthit...
and i did say, if u wanna wait go ahead...

i didn't say "BUY IT NOW OR I'LL SHOOT UR HEAD OFF!!!!"

How about you quote me sales figures for retail copies comparing MW2 and BFBC2 before you talk? You clearly said EA failed at competing with the MW2 juggernaut but you failed to provide evidence saying so, and I found evidence to the contrary.

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?...=modern+warfare

11.27M (xbox) + 8.28M (ps3) + 1.1M (pc)

http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?name=battlefield

2.37M + 1.69M + 0.31M

so u tell me?
PC: 0.31/1.1M = 27%
Total: 4.37/20.65 = 21%

cant even reach 30% of MW2 sales...

ps: i am just lazy to do all the dirty work to find such figures /sigh
I WALK THE TALK

One question,

if i never play SC before, will i like SC2? And I intend to play single player only.
*
i'm one of those that disliked SC1 (blame RA n CnC back then lol)...
its highly up to ur personal preferences actually...

give it a try at ur fren's or at cyber cafes...

i played SC,but almost completely forgot the story,but still enjoyed SC2 laugh.gif

so i guess if you have the slightest interest in RTS,you'll like SC2
*
u can always wiki up sc1 story again...
even if u like RTS, u might not like SC especially if u are from the RA/CnC camp of mass army...

I see 0.0 million on your link for MW2 PC, you quoted MW1 Wii sales, certainly reliable sales figures indeed.

BFBC2 sold 5 million by May

But we're talking PC sales figures here, and BFBC2 has been sitting above MW2 for the past 3 months in Steam's top sellers list...
*
lol my bad...
damn wii!!!!!

any other sources to keep track?
i always used vgchartz...

again, u gotta knw MW2 is a 10nov2009 game and BC2 is a 2march2010...
and again, not every1 use steam or buy from steam...

Oh c'mon, around here tangent isn't the enemy, its your friend!

Look! A giraffe! Woooo!
Seriously though, I never discourage tangents as long as it is a natural evolution of the thread. Flames and personal attacks though are a different story.

well that's discussion...
as long as it is in a constructive manner minus flames n name calling i dun see wut's wrong...

Steam sales can be regarded as reliable PC sales figures, as digital downloads are nearly 50% of game sales.
*
but i think there's other digital download services besides stream rite?
and i think most of us here <3 boxes

I simply don't understand why SEA version is more expensive compared to other version. The Koreans and Russians don't need to buy the game as they can subscribe the game monthly. Obviously Korean purchasing power > SEA purchasing power, except for Singapore and Oceania maybe. So why they're the only one getting Special treatment? They only need to pay 9,000 won($9) for monthly pass or 2,000 won ($2) for 24 hours pass. If they subscribe to WoW, they get to play Starcraft 2 for free. See how affordable Starcraft 2 is in Korea. RM 250 in Malaysia is too expensive imo, especially if you're not a hardcore fan of Broodwar or RTS in general.

the best part about the deal cry.gif
anyways currently its the only one with the cross realm and since my frens gotten SEA i dun really have a choice...
i wanted US drool.gif

Moderation is the key.

Won't be able to spend as much time on SC2 / WoW and other among other things with commitment.

Besides, one don't need to be in a relationship to get laid.

nah i like being in a relationship...
Priority: family >= gf >= work >= anything else...
