  Don't put the PC on the back burner

  I've become concerned lately by the emphasis game developers have put on the console games, sometimes at the expense of the PC ones. There have been several multi platform games that came out on everything but the PC. The Spider Man 2 game used a bait and switch to deliver a completely different game for the PC. What really bugs me, is when developers lower the graphics or focus the controls on the consoles rather than the PC. I've seen several games that just have checkpoint saves, designed for the console versions, rather than the quicksaves common on the PC. I would much rather have quicksaves on a game, and not have to repeat everything a dozen times. That's just my thoughts on it.

  To All Idiot Game Developers

  To of you idiot game developers out there. I do not like stupid jumping puzzles. Even the Xen levels of Half-Life were terrible because of this fact. I want to save whenever and where ever the heck I want to save in a game. I don't like check point saves (Bungie, please take note of this) and I don't like having only a few save points. I like quicksaves. There is a reason for this fact. Namely, I do not like to have to repeat the same part of a game time and time and time and time again because of these stupid jumping puzzles. I have been playing God of War for the past several days. Overall, it is a good game. But, just when I hit a point in which the action is moving along and it is fun, along comes some idiot jumping puzzle that stops everything for several hours. Of course there are no quicksaves on a console, so I have to keep repeating the same freaking thing.

  It is for these reasons that I am very hesitant to spend $50 on a console game. Give me a cheaper PC game with a quicksave any day.

  New quote to remember (although not of my creation)

  "He's more like 'French prison porno remake of Shawshank Redemption' material." Now the trick is to try not to imagine exactly what a "French prison porno" really would be like.
