Got my PC Gamer U.S.

[BHC]

And with the exception of the first page, nearly the entire review is printed upside down. The entire pages are upside down so had to turn my magazine around. Weird.. maybe I win 198230283 dollars.

[Raz]

HL2 just completely turned their world around.

[Dr. A]

that's rite...scallops.... *runs away also*

[Lemonking]

98% is to high if u ask me

[MadGuy]

98% is to high if u ask me


so you've played the game, huh ?

[Inanimate]

Its not a printing error..
The plates you use to print a newspaper or magazine were hardly exchanged to make it go upside down..
Just by changing a printing-plate, you automatically make like 500 uncomplete copy´s since it takes like 30 sec´s to get the machine working with colors etc.. I´ve worked on a newspaper printing job this summer so I know..

[satch919]

Did you get in the mail or in a store? I went out looking yesterday but I couldn't find it. :|

[ShinRa]

give us some snips of the good info. anything cool they say about the game.

[joule]

I still haven't received mine! ;( :angry:

Maybe tomorrow...

[cenmocay]

98% is to high if u ask me

u play the final game ? no ........then shut up kid :angry:

[ShinRa]

alas...another person who got their mag and wont share goodies. :(

[Adrien C]

I read it guinny, it dosen't say much about.
-It's great
-Great physics
-Great srycpted sequences
-Total imertion
-Strider fights are amazing
-Some fight scenes are unbelivable.
-textures get low on big open areas
-lost to explore

[ShinRa]

Great scripted sequences?

[Adrien C]

Yep, just like in HL, but better. People think that it's great.
It got a mature rating from ESRB

[kaf11]

of course, you cant have a game tell a story with out some scripting. that has nothing to do with the a.i.

[rumblefish]

lol @ adrien c

rf

[Adrien C]

No no, scrypted sequences, like you see Resistance fighters take down huge Tv Screens and bombing doors.

[lonestar]

-Some fight scenes are unbelivable.

those are the things that makes you a little bit curious. :D :P

[Adrien C]

Minor spoiler form an pick.


In one, you see gordo fighting aliens alonside Combines.

[SystemShock2]

Yeah, i saw the pcgamer on the internet, one person i think on fallout posted a site where it shows all of the mags that reviewed it, what their scores were and scans of each and a translation of the gameplay issue. The pcgamer us had crappy scans though (yes it was the us version, not the uk, it had a giant lambda symbol on the front and was different then the uk version)

[Adrien C]

They say that the best weapon is actually the manipulator.
And that barney has been modelled from a guy at Valve.

[Cole]

Ooo, so when i kill barney, will the dude at valve die? Ooo PC voodoo! You model someone, and then you can control them... MUAHAHHAHAHAHA.

Hackers broke into the PCG network and stole the December issue. According to PCG founder Gabby Newbill, we should see the issue hit the stands in time for this holiday season.

[She]

98%... now that is a VERY VEERRRYYYY high score...
Lets just hope that the game really is 98% and not 9,8%..

Gabe: here take this money and publish a 95 - 100% in your mag..

[Ownzed]

It is hard to get a 98% by PC Gamer I tell you what. I got mine today too. :D I was so excited. I didn't read anything because it said there are spoilers. I don't want to hear spoilers.

[kaellinn18]

Ooo, so when i kill barney, will the dude at valve die? Ooo PC voodoo! You model someone, and then you can control them... MUAHAHHAHAHAHA.

Only if you have an old 3dfx voodoo card in your computer. :)

Rimshot!

[Adrien C]

No spoilers on the review, be ashured.

[kaellinn18]

Rimshot!

Thank you! Thank you! I'm here till Thursday. Buy my CD!

[Cole]

Whats on the Cd?

[Javert]

98% is to high if u ask me
No one asked. ;-)

[Raziaar]

She... please... stop... writing... ellipsis... at... the... end... of... each... phrase... :P...

Heh, ellipses are actually one of my trademarks. I use them quite... quite often in the games I play, usually when they aren't even deserved. lol

[kaellinn18]

Whats on the Cd?

That thing where I said "Only if you have an old 3dfx voodoo card in your computer." That's pretty much it though...

I'm hoping to get my PC Gamer this week. I can't wait to read their review. I think it's only the second or third game to get 98%. Alpha Centauri is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head, but I think there was at least one more.

[Asuka]

Haha thats sweet. Hvnt got mine yet. Probably tmr.

[Ames]

There seem to be a few spoiler screenshots. Not that much revealed though.

[Sgt. Duffy]

If you've read PCGAMER for a while..you get to know these guys a little bit, and I can assure you that PCGAMER is kind of confused on what a spoiler is. A spoiler is something that affects the plot or story of something..Gordon dying is a spoiler, because no one knew it was going to happen, and someone giving it away...well, thats a spoiler (By the way, I just make the Gordon thing up)..PCGAMER, on the other hand, put a "spoiler alert" in the review of Call of Duty. CALL OF DUTY! The game..one of my favorite games, by the way..didnt even have a plot! The spoiler was "and the third campaign is a mini-one, with a thrilling mission from each side, American British and Russian". Do NOT tell me that somehow ruined your game! Also, in the Doom 3 review..also one of my all-time favorite games...they had a "Spoiler Alert" warning. Wanna know what that spoiler was? That you get the Soulcube..the soulcube was mentioned in the instruction manual for gods sake!

So read the thing..

There is one big spoiler screenshot though.....

On the second page of the review.

Yeah, I saw that too...but first, you couldnt even figure out what the hell was happening (your talking about the scientist facing the HellKnight, with pretty looking red light on the backside, right?)..and plus, it wasnt all too big a spoiler, anyway. I mean, the box-art had 59 references to Hell on it..dont you expect that your going to be going down there someday?

I'm talking about the HL2 review.... :p

[NeonSpyder]

so was he! :O

[Jadewolf5675]

so was he! :O
LOL

I dunno why but I laughed at that.

[spitcodfry]

My favorite spoiler from the review (it concerns Dog; you've been warned):

When you first meet Dog, it wants you to play fetch with it using the manipulator gun and a huge iron ball. It's animations and behavior mimic a real dog's uncannily. Also it mentions Dog is incredibly powerful and awesome in combat. Flings cars in the air as if they're tonka trucks. Definetely the biggest 'pee my pants' moment I read from the whole review.

Maybe a bunch of you already knew that. I didn't. Thought it was super cool. I want this game so bad!!!! Release release release!!!
