You guys who insist that if we are unhappy about this then it means we must have crappy internet connections are basically trolling. You know damn well that there is a pervasive fundamental objection to be required to be online for a singleplayer game on the part of many gamers.

My connection is 100% stable, but that is entirely besides the point. Even with a stable connection on my side, I can't speak for Bnet. All I know is that I got tired of losing connection to Bnet servers, sometimes twice a mission in SC2, so I only play offline.

Yep, sometimes all it takes is some solid combat gameplay to be fun. Borderlands lacked in many areas, but the gunplay was good.

Rage looks great. Despite all the hate on Doom 3, I still enjoyed it immensely and have played it through 2.5 times (1.5 times with mods).

Out of curiosity, what mods did you use with Doom 3?

I hope you realize the last games using this drm weren't cracked at all, like hawk2. Crackers were unable to crack it. Waiting to read what excuse you'll use for giving ubisoft the ok so that they can keep escalating this drm. And considering gamers have no other form of protest other than not buying a game I realize many gamers are fucking spineless, too emotionally attached to a fuking game and blind to the fact some publishers are fucking them in the ass. But who cares as long as you can play the next shiny thing, right?

So because I don't prescribe to your specific set of ideals, I therefore must enjoy "getting fucked in the ass" by Ubisoft? Oh and on top of that, you extrapolated that I'm a drooling retard that wants shiny things and has no power to reason beyond that. Alrighty then... And you're still going to insist that you aren't too emotionally invested in this?

I played AC2 on a computer that had no internet connection for a while, trouble-free. I had a great time, and will cherish it as one of the best modern gaming experiences I've had in a long while. If this is getting ass-fucked, I guess I like it.

Hawx 2 WILL get cracked if it hasn't already; I don't really know because it was not high on my list. Which, incidentally is probably why it's crack took longer - it's kinda low on everyone's list. The uncrackable DRM does not exist. It may take weeks, months, or even a year in the case of SC Chaos Theory, but I can wait.

Who was buying Driver: San Francisco in the first place though? This is one of those franchises that sells the majority of its copies based on the name and boxart at Wal-Mart.

I might have to agree, I’m very skeptical about this being a Pirate themed game. I would rather they stick to what worked in the past and go with a more fantasy themed game with lots of dungeons and creatures. I always hate the NPC garbage and drama that goes with them.

And when people post about craving innovation and being bored of modern military shooters and Tolkien-esque fantasy, you are the gamer I mention. The gamer who wants the same fantasy setting over and over and over again.

I mean christ, pirates isn't unique either, but at least it's not knights and castles again for fuck's sake.

Wait, do console gamers bitch and moan about how PC gamers get better versions and how they're stuck being second class citizens?

People should be avoiding it because the game will be shit, not because of DRM.

I downloaded this game about six months ago on a whim, based on the fact that PC Gamer gave it Game of the Year honors. At first I didn't think much, but after awhile it grew on me, and I still play several games a week. It really is a fantastic game, simultaneously rewards strategy and coordination. Its also a perfect game for short play sessions, 3 vs 3s last 30 minutes on average. If you're even remotely curious I would encourage you to check it out.

*the guy complaining about clicking probably didn't like Diablo, Starcraft, or any other number of games either*

WOW, you guys complain about me and not reading before commenting. If I said that this game is on sale and had you guys clicked the link you would have seen that I linked Witcher 2. Nice one all!!

Yes how terrible of us to assume your vague language had anything to do with the topic

This is kind of an odd move...Mass Effect 3 is the type of game that does not need a demo.

The Mass Effect games are not blockbuster franchise sellers or something, I don't know why people keep saying this. It makes perfect sense to put out a demo for your game, particularly the way they like to do it after the game has been released so it gets people on the fence who haven't bought the game yet.

Verno wrote on Jul 11, 2011, 12:23:
That's my bad, I just assumed "this game" meant the game we were talking about in the topic, not Witcher 2. Regardless Joe's point is spot on, demos serve a different purpose to many people but are definitely "necessary" at times even if it is the worlds greatest gaming franchise evar or whatever.

Hopefully there will be a PC demo and BEFORE release. I'm looking at you Witcher 2. <taps foot still waiting>
