[quote]*facepalm*...and I wanted to buy the Witcher 2.[/quote] http://www.vg247.com/2010/06/01/cd-projekt-nothing-to-worry-about-over-namcos-drm-comments/ Anyway, while I prefer much less restricitive copy protection methods than the "always online" one (for obvious reasons), I don't blame companies for trying to prevent their products from being pirated to hell
The demo version of Darkness Within 2 left me pretty impressed. Fantastic atmosphere. I'm definitely interested in picking the full version up soon.

[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="10" id="2630308"]Yes, that's it. Frogboy explained in another interview that they will do it to let people choose how they connect to impulse::reactor. So if you already have a fb account you'll be able to connect through it. If you don't have a fb account you'll be bale to connect with a twitter account, or an impulse account. You have the choice. Moreover impulse::reactor doesn't need anything else to work. No third party software. The onl
If that's not the perfect way to give the middle finger to a large part of the potential market, then I honestly have no idea what is. I'd have vastly preferred 2K utilizing GfWLive instead, even.

[quote who="Raven X" reply="5" id="2593238"] (...)Fallout 3 was a great addition to the series with much in common with the originals, minus of course the perspective change. [/quote] Surely, you jest - it neither felt like a Fallout game nor did Black Isle's fruits of love justice. "Heavily modded Oblivion with improvements here and there" suits Bethesda's mediocrity best as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't like to de-rail this thread however, so let's
Phenomenal news, someone at 2K familiarized himself with the original X-Com and - what a surprise - understood nothing, completely did not "get it". "Fallout 3" scenario all over again. I can't help but *love* this industry.
[quote who="Ralsar" reply="9" id="2542451"]At the end of the day these are commercials, but they are enertaining and informative previews. (...) There are a lot of smaller games that would benefit greatly from a showcase like this. [/quote] Precisely. Overall, it's a wonderfully executed idea and a commendable effort.
Even though I'm excited about the announcement, I must admit I would have preferred a sequel to X-COM or Alpha Centauri 2 (EA owns the rights to it unfortunately, last time I heard). Still - I'm not going to complain. [quote who="Tridus" reply="32" id="2543131"] What a great year for strategy fans though. Elemental Civ5, and Starcraft 2? Wow!

[quote who="PCPrincess" reply="27" id="2540892"]What kind of PSU do you have set up for that rig?[/quote] Good question. Anyway, I've been looking forward to upgrading for quite a while, but I've recently come across reports from a sizeable number of people whose 5xxx cards suffer from the "gray screen crash" issue which still hasn't been resolved. I'll probably wait a bit longer and see how the situation unfolds.
[quote quoting="post"]It’s interesting, I get a lot of interview questions sent to me from the media that ask when such and such game will be on the console.[/quote] That's precisely what is wrong with the games industry today - so-called "journalists" who refuse to take their blinders off in order to realize there's a wonderful world of games designed solely for PC out there. Pro-console propaganda plus a massive marketing push for the Xbox/PlayStation brand
[quote who="Spooky__" reply="8" id="2518222"]In my opinion it's way better than any CD/DVD based copy protection. [/quote] How so? DVD-based copy protection can always be removed via a patch, plus one doesn't have to worry about any company/internet outage/lack of internet connection/server maintenance preventing him/her from playing a game.
This is the worst form of DRM they could have come up with, the equivalent of turning every single title into an MMO. Looks like Anno 1404 is the last Ubisoft game I bought. There's no chance of at least Silent Hunter 5 not utilizing this nonsense, is there? [quote who="MichaelCook" reply="2" id="2518199"]Most likely somebody will crack the game and release an unofficial version that needs no internet to play. Before the official version is released.
