OS Neutral "If Quake was done today" (modern FPS vs classic FPS)

It'll likely fire right up if you're on Win7. If you're on XP, about the worst you should have to do is download the drivers and install them. I have a wired 360 controller, and it's never given me a single problem in all the years I've used it.

Though as with all things computer, your mileage may vary.

Thanks off to buy me a copy

Cool deal. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I have.

95.8 hours. Think that's the longest I've ever spent with one single game.

I have the dongle and wireless controller, so I just plug it all in and it works in Bootcamp with no TattieBogle and things ?

Which dongle do you have exactly? I bought one on eBay, and it works fine, but I had to follow a certain procedure to get it to work in Windows 7.

Nobody wants a challenge anymore. They just want to see how Master Chief inevitably saves the galaxy yet again.

I mostly play games for the story, and after too many hours of watching Master Chief empty a clip in the general direction of some bad guys (without hitting any of them), and then slowly reloading his gun in their face while they beat him to a pulp, I reduce the difficult level just so I can see what happens next. That's all well and good until I go online, and provide cannon fodder for those who like a challenge.

I'm not saying games should be easy, just that they should provide the option, and they do. Tell me, is Legendary really too easy for you?

This seems like a good place to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKIiUsbOO24

This thread needs more videos. QuakeLive is currently my favourite game. I keep coming back to it. It has a very high learning curve, it's very challenging, but it's so much fun.

Quake live is indeed fun. I hop on there every now and again when I'm bored to get my adrenaline fix It could be better though, the Mac version is a bit buggy, and still labeled as in "beta". That's a bit ridiculous considering it has been live for like 3 years, and it's sad that they never took the time to make the Mac version properly. Previous ID titles always had good Mac support.
