Just so we're clear, when you're bored on a plane, and you have your laptop, and you want to play the game you bought in order to fight boredom, Blizzard's official recommendation is that you play someone else's game. That's pride, right there.


Epic quote of the day.

Hehehe...man, almost every game you play these days feels like a shitty console port. :( I don't care that a game like Arkham Asylum plays better on a gamepad - it's really game that was MEANT for a gamepad. But a shooter, shit. A badly ported shooter is nigh unplayable on a PC. Crappy capped FPS, crappy textures, auto-aim BS, crappy FoV, 4 weapon limitation, clunky on-rails shit, having your back stick to walls...ughhh.

They actually had to PATCH out the 4-weapons limit you can carry in the PC version of Duke Nukem Forever. :roll:

I mean HOW HARD IS IT TO CHANGE THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE WHEN YOU ACTUALLY RELEASE THE GAME?!! Is there no one testing who goes like "wtf is this?"

Conclusion: cross-platfom games are almost exclusively playtested on consoles by console gamers.
