I don't like quick-saving/loading systems, but I can't help but to abuse it when it's featured. Hell, I'm pretty sure I had over 800 saves last time I played Skyrim.
damnit Dennis4k screwed everyone.

Well, honestly, they probably didn't steal it. It's a pretty obvious reference, given the petition and the result.
I'm sorry, but I just love greentexting. It's a super lazy way to communicate and I've gotten back into the habit in IRC.

Wow, that's really fucked up on their part.

No, it's not.
Let's not make a fuss out of every silly thing.
As Felix Lighter himself pointed, it isn't exactly a super obscure reference, and beside comics re-use old jokes all the times.

But now that the fixed resolution for the pc version was debunked, we need something new to rage over.
link?
No we don't need new things, the GFWL garbage is still not removed from the port, and that still the deal breaker and port killer here.
For you. Locked resolution, on the other hand, would have been a port killer for mostly everyone.

Where was this debunked specifically? I haven't been keeping track the last few days and must have missed it.

Misunderstanding in the initial interview where this was mentioned. The comments were about texture resolution, not screen resolution.
I purposely don't quicksave to make games harder. Usually I just save when I zone into an area. Except Bethesda games obviously as UrbanRats pointed out.
They don't have to worry about that! Dark souls quick-save by itself every second!
I realized that around Doom 1 that it was more fun not to quicksave to but to actually get better at the game. Of course around that time there were also a lot of games designed around quicksaving, i.e. cheap deaths all over the place, like all those FPS with platform sections.
Yeah, allowing quick and painless iteration is a big part of older PC games that's somewhat been lost.

Plus, they made the same joke about that SimCity Facebook game a year ago (Hence the II in the title):

Lol sure when it actually doesn't block you from playing the game.

GFWL is really fitting for this game. This thrill and excitement when you start the game and you don't know for sure if your save is still there or got corrupted just adds to the difficulty.

Just wondering, have they posted PC system requirements yet?

Nope, and I wouldn't expect to see them until late July.

Exposed!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
And everyone stole the joke from that one Simpsons episode.
Which stole the joke from an old folk tale.

What can I say, I'm just that kind of guy.
Nah, too early to tell.
Plus the posts quoted are kind of ancient. We know at least a fixed resolution isn't being done, so we don't know how configurable the game will be beyond that. Not expecting most in the way of graphical settings though, or graphical improvements beyond resolution, and framerate if we're lucky (all I really need though.)
Now that this campaign has been successful can we please start petitions for other games that should be on PC?
...like Vanquish?
...and Red Dead Redemption!
Sure, IRC
S-stop it g-guys... they're not supposed to know about our secret club!

Of all the Japanese studios likely to be swayed into supporting the PC on a regular basis, you'd think it'd be Platinum Games given how Westernized their games are. We should really get this movement started.
Edit: and after playing Binary Domain, I wholly agree with the call for porting Vanquish.

No change in resolution or framerate?
...Way to miss the point.
Edit: Oh, textures. Not screen resolution. Okay, interest still piqued.

I support this, after playing the awesome DMC4 PC port and awed by how beautiful it is, vanquish would feel right at home...also
BAYONETTA FOR PC!
Seriously. We don't wait for games to come out on PC, just so we can have the exact same game.
I think it's time for a new thread or something.
Yeah, how this mistake keeps being made (AND REPEATED SO OTHERS KEEP MAKING IT) is getting very old.
