PC Gamer Digital Beta - Games

i just hope that the final release wont be up 20 gb's. Because it will load with all the latest game demo's and new's that it will download and store in your hard drive. but i think the size will be more than that. just sayin.

Downloaded it, tried it out, and subsequently uninstalled it. It... sucks. Perhaps it's because it's a "beta", but there's nothing on there but old news, pointless interviews, and ugly jokes.

Don't see why I have to download 2GB of videos when this could be easily a web application with streaming.

Will we be able to download the killer exclusive from this?

How do you get the achievements? I have Beta 1 Tester and Inquisitive already.

[QUOTE=imadaman;32338738]How do you get the achievements? I have Beta 1 Tester and Inquisitive already.[/QUOTE] Watch all 3 of the crysis 2 videos. Don't think you can get the last one.

They explained why it's "Old News" Its a test format, for their beta. You can at least learn what this is all about, before you judge it stupid.

You need to vote, but you cannot in the beta.

[QUOTE=Smashman;32339452]You need to vote, but you cannot in the beta.[/QUOTE] I watched all 4 and commented on the main video and the trash guy's idea video... I got the achievement.

Why should a damn magazine need Win 7 to launch?

[QUOTE=superstepa;32340573]Why should a damn magazine need Win 7 to launch?[/QUOTE] It doesn't, it needs Vista(minimum).

[QUOTE=superstepa;32340573]Why should a damn magazine need Win 7 to launch?[/QUOTE] This isn't a magazine.

Damn it says North America in the OP but it's not even available in Canada

Guys please tell me what's in there? I am so jealous, I love PC gamer and wasn't able to read it because it got cancelled in Russia back in 2009 And in Canada it costs 12$ per issue [editline]17th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=stepat201;32340667]Damn it says North America in the OP but it's not even available in Canada[/QUOTE] Learn to read the thread At least 10 first posts

[editline]17th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=superstepa;32340657]Let's pretend Vista never existed :v: It was pretty much horrible[/QUOTE] It is, but my point was most people should at least have Vista now-a-days. Windows XP is 10 years old, it's fading out, get with the times. If you are in your right mind and see Vista for the shit it is, get Windows 7, it's great.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32340875]Visit was not utter shit if you had the resources to run it properly.

It is shit.

Back on topic now, if you want to argue about how shit vista was, go make it in a drop dead thread.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32340905]Ran just fine for me, for 2 years. You don't have to rate me dumb or keep stressing your opinion because you had a bad experience with it.[/QUOTE] I rated you dumb because Vista still uses the resources, it uses more resources than it needs, it leaves little resources for applications to use. It's not that hard to understand... Switching from Vista to 7 comes with a HUGE performance boost. Speaking of Windows, I don't understand why people would purchase Windows 7 Ultimate if you can just buy Home Premium, remove ei.cfg, select Ultimate, and use your Home Premium Key to activate it.

I had MORE than enough ram and an epic cpu for vista to run properly. And I had tons of resources left to run any applications I want. "It's not hard to understand..." Your experiences of Vista, and my experiences of Vista were clearly different, there is nothing here to argue about. 7 is ALOT better, that's all that matters. No more of this crappy argument, back on topic.

Guys guys, everyone knows what OS is better [sp]XP[/sp] [sp]Just kidding[/sp] The only thing I meant that NOW installing Vista is completly pointless and dumb, because we have 7. I didn't mean to say it was horrible since release So yeah, back on topic: How is it? What is it? Is it worth it?
