| After all the hullabaloo over the invasive and ridiculous DRM in a previous 2K product, Bioshock, it's saddening that PC gamers are seemingly willing to take it lying down this time around. Why buy this game and support this asinine arrangement where you relinquish ownership control, of something that you paid for, to a corporation. |

Leeching it now. This will be the first DX11 anything that I've run on my 5870. Let's see if it even runs, heh.
Update:
Looks absolutely gorgeous, as I guess could be expected. The materiality of the stone buildings and cobblestones are the best I've seen. It ran a bit jerky. I left everything at default except for the resolution and ran it in full screen mode. Just for fun here are my results. As you can see with the exception of my videocard my hardware is not very cutting-edge at all.

| I received a coupon voucher for this game in my ATI 5870 box, for download and installation via Steam. I think that ATI is including vouchers for this game with most of their 58XX series cards. Let's hope that it doesn't turn into a fiasco like the previous ATI Half-Life 2/Steam program did. Looking forward to seeing DX11 in action. |

| It's Wardell's right to boycott UPS for whatever reason he wants, and free speech is critical to democracy. But it's just irresponsibly poor leadership for a boss to drag an entire company, with all its employees, forcibly down the path as well. Wardell shouldn't have politicized the issue beyond the personal level and involved Stardock. I feel for Stardock's employees, for having to endure this drama, the inevitable subsequent consumer backlash, and for having to work for a leader like Wardell. |

Global recession.. what global recession?
A bit hard to see, but the dog tag says "your name," so we could probably surmise that it will be customized and would have to be mailed away for. |

The Pirate Bay Campaign will allow gamers to play for a faction used to loot what others have worked hard for, rather than creating anything of value themselves
oooooh, snap!
Yeah but is he describing piracy, or record companies?  |

What a blatent and shallow attempt at PR. Anyone who has actually played this game in the last month or so should be able to see right though it. There's a reason Funcom initiated a "re-evaluation" campaign instead of a fully open trial available for everyone.
After beginning my own "re-evaluation" I realized there's been some new lipstick applied to the same old pig and that's about it. Just save yourself the total waste of a 30GB installation. |

| Just finished a playthrough with a Malkavian using version 6.2, and it was an amazing experience. I have to agree with Prez, and this is simply one of the most detailed, polished, and immersive games I've ever played now. Thanks, wesp. |

| I've been playing this off and on since launch last May. While Chapter 5 was interesting, these days it seems that most people are waiting impatiently for Chapter 7. That being Chapter 7 - Bankruptcy. |

Hope we'll see Crimewave too. These Access titles were amazing for their time, with full motion video and also digital sound support without a soundcard. I forget what it was called, maybe "RealSound," but it allowed for digital voice and music straight to the PC speaker. I remember playing Martian Memorandum and just being stunned by the witness interviews with full video and real human voices. Makes 1991 seem like a really long time ago.
Edit: Yep, "RealSound"... amazing

| Glad to see that question #1, and Oleg's response, addresses stability, playability, and polish. If they gave us simply more of the same, with improved polish, more detail and quests, and a tweaked feature set, I don't think that many fans would complain. |

Got Shareware? iD should be proud. I've been running the beta as my primary OS since its release. In terms of polish, the beta was more like a RC, and I expect the RC that I'm leeching now to be at a level above and beyond any previous MS RC. They are taking this OS release very seriously. They don't have a choice (i.e. check their stock price over the last year).
Sorry, Blue, but running 7 even in its beta state is pretty mundane and nowhere near as daring as shark jumping on water skis.  |
