from an amazon review :
"First things first to PC gamers, be prepared when buying a physical copy. The dvd contains a fraction of the actual game, the remaining 40gb will need to be downloaded via steam, a bit of a pain in the ass if like me your internet connection isn't the best and you were hoping for a quick install and play. However anyone who complains about having to install "something called Steam" on your pc, frankly you're about 12 years behind on modern pc gaming."
Does the hard copy come with the game on the discs or is it just the Steam client? Made that mistake with The Phantom Pain.

I paid £27.99 a few weeks back with no regrets whatsoever! Of course the longer you wait the cheaper it becomes.. Great price, heat added :smiley:

DVD is far more popular but with Blu-ray they really should try to use it because it could store all of the game's installation files required.

Not played single yet but multiplayer was a big let down for me. Great graphics, nice weapons but nothing new at all. in fact just a direct copy of lots of other games (Cod mainly)
ie Double jumps, Achievements , melle one shot kill up close. To name a few.

i remember before the term FPS and before COD , these types of games were made was made they referred to these games as "Doom games":smiley:

When you read of someone deriding 'Doom' for being a 'Call of Duty' clone, you know that you're officially an' ol grognard! xD
QIII rules. UT sucks.
Anyone? No?
Ok, I'll shuffle off now.
Heat for the deal btw.

We'll you've been doing it the wrong way round. Single player is praised all round and is what you should have been spending your time on.
The single player was done in house while the multiplayer was outsourced. Sort of explains things.

Cods double jumps do not feel the same as this, it's more restrictive as this is a arena shooter, not a FPS. Every Xbox game has had achievements since the dawn of time...

Please tell me you're not being serious.
Yes, before the term first person shooter was coined these types of games were referred to as Doom clones, although Wolfenstein 3D came first but id quickly followed that up with Doom which popularised the genre. I was a bit late getting a PC so didn't get to play Doom until the early 2000s but during the '90s I had a few FPS games on the Amiga, including one called Gloom, which I only later realised was a play on the expression 'gloom and doom'.
Yeah that's just made me feel old as well. UT was one of my first PC games but my friends all played Q3 and I kept trying to convert them. As well as the multi function weapons I just loved the level design, gritty atmosphere and music/sound. There was just something about the Q3 engine that made everything seem a bit too shiny and plastic.

Nah, UT was awesome - much more creative weapons than Q3 and all deadly as well.

Ah, Q3 vs UT! I felt that UT's double jumps and multi-function weapons diluted a perfect experience with needless distractions. So definitely Q3 :-).

But not the cheapest it's been previously.
