At least I enjoy Rage over the sheer borefest that is Borderlands... I got the 2nd one free with my new videocard, and it still was expensive.

I just watched that Total Biscuit video - WOW. So it's as bad or worse than an unfinished free alpha mod (that it is an exact clone of, no less) yet it costs money AND there's a cash shop; you die extremely quickly and easily yet it has microtransactions for items that you lose as soon as you die; it runs like crap, looks pretty bland and outdated, and has terrible animations, and doesn't even have most of the standout features listed on the store page. Sounds like it can't miss!

Just finished watching it too. It does appear to be total shit but I think the gameplay actually looked great/interesting. He just happened to be terrible at the game. What's so hard to figure out about sight and sound indicators for stealth? I never played Day Z so I'm actually considering buying this crap... Despite that shameful business with the description. Also the trailer appears to be all glitched out on the Steam store now... and lol at those screenshots.

TB is right. Valve does have a responsibility here to ensure that what's being claimed is being delivered.

"My point is that absolute majority of our players are supporting us, yet, yes, players who don't like the game will be very vocal about it."

.. . It is observed in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other Commonwealth nations. In South Africa, Boxing Day was renamed to Day of Goodwill in 1994. In Ireland it is recognized as St. Stephen's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Stiofáin) or the Day of the Wren (Irish: Lá an Dreoilín). In some European countries, notably Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands, 26 December is celebrated as the Second ChristmasDay.

I think if a developer has spent time and effort developing the online component as a FEATURE and not as thinly-veiled DRM, it becomes ignorant and insulting to refer to it as DRM.

Just about as insulting as taking a single player franchise and turning it into multiplayer with pathetically bolted-on features, when that was something that nobody was asking for?

I hope they get insulted by me calling it DRM. Because that's exactly what it is, if only for no other purpose than that two years from now, this game will be unplayable due to EA having shut the servers down.

How 'bout them Jets there, Verno! I'm thinking of trying out for the Jets' starting QB position. I couldn't possibly do any worse.

Amazon already seems to have started theirs. I especially like Syndicate for $4.99. They must not care that it 'devalues the property'. I'll buy it at that price, so there's at least a few bucks more than they would have had otherwise.

Is that a Steam key? I need to know what Amazon games are Steam.

US folks don't realise that people down here pay more for content and wait longer for it to be released than the US.
Back a few decades it would've made sense when things needed to be moved physically since OZ is far, far away.

I wonder how long an ISP with that kind of 'fuck you' attitude towards the entertainment industry would last in the US?
