Hats and Monday Night Combat

David at The POW Block says: "Yesterday, Monday Night Combat released on Steam for the (waiting?) PC audience. Monday Night Combat fared well when it released as a part of the Summer of Arcade for 2010 on Xbox 360. It would only make sense that it would perform decently on the PC, since Team Fortress 2 has shown that the market enjoys this style of game."

I always liked DOTA, since this game is finally coming to the PC I probably will try this one out. Great post!

Andrew Wiggin4837d ago

While the first person shooter is always better on the PC, the 3rd person shooter is not. Though is probably will be better here unless it was super optimized for consoles...who knows?

crispinantista4837d ago

You sound like a PC elitest snob. Shooters are not always better on the PC, just to people with small minds.

Andrew Wiggin4837d ago

No, unless said shooter was made with specifically for the console and optimized as such, then just ported to the PC, it's always better on the PC.

Hitster4837d ago

Just saying, a mouse adds percision (good for shooters). A joystick adds smooth controls (good for driving games). However, knowing what games are better for what platform is something that is nice to know for every gamer. Yet, most fanboys get offended when you tell them something on their platform isn't as good as something on another system (friend codes are a terrible system opposed to gammertags/psn handles).

crispinantista4837d ago

Why the hell are there so many hats!? Who the hell really cares?

Andrew Wiggin4837d ago

People who like Team Fortress 2? I don't know, it's just an incentive. Bonuses and stuff.

Hitster4837d ago

There is actually a whole currency (for lack of better words) based on hats within Team Fortress 2.

NosoleeToxin4836d ago

Really, wonder if that was one of the things they wanted people to do with them.

eggbert4836d ago

There are people buying this solely because they want to trade the hats.

NosoleeToxin4837d ago

I do like getting free stuff but I hope they are not using this to push sales like they used halo 3 beta in crackdown.

Andrew Wiggin4837d ago

That is a little different, people love for Halo is a little different than getting a hat to wear in Team Fortress 2. I'm not really sure if there is a business model behind this. It seems to just be a good will thing.

crispinantista4837d ago

Dude Halo sucks and so did Crackdown. That was a pathetic attempt from Microsoft to sell their awful game. Valve is amazing and would never do anything like that.

multipayer4836d ago

Dude, you've been playing games on the same engine for a decade. It has gotten to the point where source mods are as good or better than what Valve is churning out... and now they are charging for hats, like microsoft charges for avatar items... It is the ultimate fail.

Now that Bungie is with Activision, when they release their game on PC. I suggest you buy it, or be faced with the dilemma of being an utter douchebag.

First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.

Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.

rlow1104d ago

@Foxtrot
It’s called money plain and simple.

JEECE104d ago

I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.

Giblet_Head104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.

Inverno104d ago

You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.

AI is just another form of slavery for our computer brethren.

Barlos104d ago (Edited 104d ago )

Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.

BrainSyphoned103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.

my god, people are so dumb these days.

shinoff2183130d ago

I read the headline to my girl and she even reacted wtf is wrong with people. People wild

Notellin128d ago

I feel bad for her that she can't read and needs you to do it for her. Keep your head up!

shinoff2183127d ago

Notellin, I've been teaching her 😘

Jin_Sakai128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

This generation is about dumb as it gets.

frostypants128d ago

Huffing things isn't new to be fair.

SavageFlamingo128d ago

This has nothing to do with generations. It’s not a stupid challenge or anything. People just happened to smell it while they were playing. The steam deck exhaust is easy to smell without even trying. Just playing it you’ll smell it in the air around you.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro128d ago

"tHiS gEErAtIoN"
It's every generation, today you just see it more clearly thanks to internet.

k2d128d ago

To be fair, I loved the smell of glue, gas and certain plastics as a kid (new disc cartridges/new hardware, anyone?)

Si-Fly127d ago

Instruction manuals for me, best smell ever 😂

crazyCoconuts128d ago

I actually take a whiff of it once in a while, it's funny that it smells so good lol

DarXyde128d ago

Tide pod fiasco all over again

Felix_Argyle_Catbro128d ago

"tHeSe DaYs"
People have been just as dumb in the past, you just see it clearly now thanks to the internet.

gold_drake128d ago

thanks for that .. insight. ha.

rlow1128d ago

Well good thing about dumb people, they play an important part in human history. How else do we know which plants, animals and foods ar dangerous? Dumb people! They pay the price so the rest of us don’t have to. Lol

FinalFantasyFanatic128d ago

Honestly, I'm not even surprised considering some of the people I come across these days, inhaling fumes would explain a lot of things.

Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.

Abnor_Mal128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.

Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?

KwietStorm_BLM128d ago

Were you high when you typed this?

Abnor_Mal128d ago

Sorry bud no Steam Deck here.

128d ago
FinalFantasyFanatic128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

Even the Steam Deck does streaming better than the Portal (they portal is capped for streaming for some reason, whereas the Steam Deck isn't).

Neonridr128d ago

imagine pretending a glorified streaming device is better than a stand alone unit that can also, stream.

Stand by for the 'gaming kills' articles.
Que Halloween movie theme.

Nucleux128d ago

What does it smell/taste like?

Barlos128d ago

Better than the Switch cartridges is my guess.

Just to be clear, I've never licked a Switch cartridge, nor have I inhaled my deck's fumes.

Profchaos128d ago

Same never licked a switch cart I've always been worried more about where it's been than the taste but

Fluke_Skywalker128d ago

It smells good, that's the problem lol. When I first turned mine on I noticed it 😅
Better stop sniffing it then.

Barlos128d ago

I've had my deck for over a year, I've never been compelled to put my nose near the vent for a good lungful 😂

crazyCoconuts128d ago

I can't explain it... It smells...new

SavageFlamingo128d ago (Edited 128d ago )

Kind of like cheap bacon cooking. Even cheap bacon smells good.
