 |  "Should Id still give exclusives to Pcgamer?"
, posted Sun 3 Jun 17:25  
So far, Id has given all their exclusives to Pc gamer including Quake 1, 2, and 3 however:
This magazine has lost its integrity and honesty.
Think about their reviews of Hexen II, SiN, and many other places whare the reviewer OBVIOUSLY didnt give the game enough review time. In cases like SiN, they have DELIBERATELY avoided reporting bugs. Their writing has seemed to become more dumbed down over the years, perhaps to a less mature audience, or maybe because they have LOST ALL THE STAFF THEY HAVE HAD ITS INCEPTION.
No matter what, i think id should SERIOUSLY reconsider who they give info about doom3- or whatever- to, as they have much better choices.
What do you think?

Who thinks we should do Doomworld as a monthly magazine as well?
Subscriptions would be $24/year, $40/2 years, and single issues would be $4.95.
We could make Ling a lot of money here. :->

Anything mentioned on the side of this post or above this post is the opinion only of Doomworld and not of the author. Suck it down folks!

PC Gamer UK costs £4.99, which is just under eight dollars. Where does the extra seven come in?
If it's because you don't live in the UK, then its hardly their fault, and besides, surely the same is true with any UK magazine?

Yes, that is crap. I think it's because of the tariffs, though.
I kick arse for the lord!

I haven't bought PC Gamer since they put a virus in the UK edition, PC zone tends to be much more honest with its reviews.

The only good thing PC Gamer USA ever did was give the full version of X-Com UFO Defense free with one of their mags. In all other aspects, PC Gamer UK is superior.

PC Gamer & EGM are the most boring and crappy gaming magazines out there. How can people read such dry articles? PCXL kicked PC Gamer's ass. Gamepro still is better than EGM.

I don't know why PC gaming magazines still exist. A daily dose of any gaming news site (Stomped, VE, Blues, Shack, etc) should keep you informed. Even more than reading those monthly releases...

Isn't that true for magazines in general?

There's several different PC Gamer's around the world, the two most notable being PC Gamer UK (the first and the best!) and PC Gamer US. Which one are you talking about?

The last PCGamer issue I got (US), I bought because it had They Hunger Trilogy on the CD. The magazine itself never shut up about Black & White, and the rest was nothing but ads.
At least PCXL was funny and had gratuitous T&A to go with the worthless content...
