Yes, even over LBP and R2, I'm looking forward to Motorstorm 2 the most.
First one was great. Loading times were really bad though, and no split screen was sad. Wont be problems in Motorstorm 2 though. :D
The online in this game is good fun. The community was faithful and quite mature.
But EVERY GAME can come with punishing DRM and overpriced DLC.
So here's what happend. I bought Gears 2, and the disk was defective. No worries, all companies will replace defective disks with a new disk, so long as it's the same game.
2 vouchers! Sell one of them on EBay- scratch that, sell the case on EBay, which just happens to include the voucher. I'm legally allowed to resale the case. If I'm "giving away for free" the voucher to whoever buys the case, that's my right.
The PC version will be best, because it will offer the most suit colors though free mods. Unlimited suits, but only 3 installs. :(
I thought the 360's color was red?
I'd pay if the structure made sense.
If the game costs 60$, and then usage of the game costs months, and DLC also costs EXTRA on top of it all, they'll likely have less than 256 people in the entire fanbase.
Paying monthly will be a big cut on the fanbase. If the fanbase is then splintered by DLC, this will make things even worse.
The game should be cheap initially, and then pay a small monthly fee (or yearly if you prefer) which will include all ...
The servers will probably be overrun on day 1. ;)
Also, I'll be at school all day. :(
If so, it wont fly. PC gamers (so were told) rarely pay for the games they play. Do you think they pay EXTRA to play a game they bought legally online? Not a chance.
From my understanding it's the people that actually upload things on the P2P's that are in trouble. The downloaders are safe, usually. (I don't pirate, and I don't support it.)
As a downloader, if you download from a pirate, then the legal owners have no idea you've downloaded it. What the owners can do is set up their own P2P upload, and then track the IP's that come and download the software. The problem is if they try to sue these people, then they claim, "well, did...
I know right now all I have open is IE, and Vista is using about 1.2 gigs of memory. I can't even imagine trying to run Vista on 2 gigs or less - wait, actually I can imagine it, because my laptop runs Vista and it only has 1 gig.
Anyways, play Sins of a Solar Empire on my laptop, and this game takes up about 800 megs of ram when it's running. How does it work? Vista takes up 1.2 gigs, SOSE takes up .8 gigs. That's 2 gigs, but I only have 1 gig on my system?
...
How is XP the best. Sure, it uses less RAM, but if that's what makes it better the trophy goes to Windows 95 or earlier. If XP wins because of stability, then we should give the trophy to Vista, because Vista is more stable.
If XP wins because it's the optimal OS for your system, then XP is the best for you, individually. Dosn't mean XP is the best for everyone.
The majority of laptops at the school library are MACs...
But once I take my eyes away from the 6 people with Macs, I notice the 200+ PC's sitting all over the desks.
If all PC gaming has to offer is DRM crippled games, I really don't care much if PC gaming dies. Maybe it's time to get a life, the consoles will probably go the way of the DRM soon enough.
You get to play it for awhile, then the installs run out, and your done with it (even if your not ready to be done, your done). Sounds like a rental to me. EA should be charging rental prices 5.99 for Crysis Warhead. You get to play it until your rental period is up (that is, 3 installs).
5.99 for the win, then you wont have so many boycoting you EA.
I'll see you in the multiplay once EA provides me with an Activation Code which my steam copy is prompting for. There isn't an Activation Code for the Steam copy, because you shouldn't need one, but I need one, so I'll be waiting who knows how long for the ever incompetent EA to reply to my support requests.
I've already downloaded from Steam, and I'm prompted for the activation key. Steam doesn't give activation keys though, so I'm waiting on EA's slow and incompetant costomer service to get back to me. Until then, no Crysis for me.
Hope you don't have the same problem.
But it wont be as technically impressive on consoles. Actually it may, because they do well with what they have, but it wont look better than it does on PC.
There are two types of gamers:
Casuals - See random game in store, buy it, try to play it. Get burned by DRM, but don't understand what's going on. Hopefully they go online and find out it's EA's fault. They don't buy any more EA games, which isn't hard, they just have to find another cover with a cool image on t...
This is all to stop second hand sales of game. 3 or 30 installs work equally well in stoping piracy. Either the pirates remove the system altogether, or they leave it in place and 30 people install the game illegally; 30 illegal copies is no big deal.
What they don't want is Billy gowing tired of Crysis, so he gives it to Bob. Now EA dosn't get Bobs money.
From a cold coorperate perspective:
The Good:
DRM is a minor annoyance to pirates.
D...
You can transfer a game to another account for like 5 bucks. Kinda stiffles the re-selling, but it can be done.
Mmm...
I see what you mean now. I didn't see any parts and frames of cars flying over my head after a crash happend right in front of me. That would happen all the time in MS1.
