Mamoulian War

Why to make an extra hassle with browsing suspicious websites, when there are other developers willing to sell you DRM free option available out of the box? I am just rewarding with my purchases companies who offer me hassle-less entertainment... Free market at work

That I can live with. I'm still not buying and XBOX720, but that's reasonable. I wish Sony would sell extra addon for BC for PS3 and PS4 consoles as well... I would gladly buy them...

For that reason, me and most of my friends started to play last two years tabletop games... No DRM, awesome social content and never ever server maintenance... Besides, circumventing DRM is legal here, if you have proof of your purchase...

http://penny-arcade.com/report/article/blizzard-admits-diablo-3s-auction-houses-hurt-the-games-rhythm-both-sides-w Diablo 3 devs speak, that Real Money auction house was a mistake...

Not fair... same price inferior product :/ I really loved the alpha footage, and the option to pay full price for a DRM-free game without any possibility to buy future content for the game feels to me as a kick in the nuts for many backers Changing the wording from DRM-free to Steam distributed, with the option of one-time-only Berlin update of your DRM-free version for backers so close to the release, just makes me less-likely funding any future kickstarter projects... 4.30 am here... CBA to rewrite all the wording in proper english... hopefully you get what I mean after reading the random words...

Now I am happy that I have waited with my preorder... wanted the collector's edition, but I can wait few more months if it will be available on GoG.com as well or not... If not, I just wait for the Wasteland 2, which hopefully will not make the same stunt like HBS...

*sighs*

Nice April fools played with you then :D I have made another playthrough of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 - fourth so far, got some new rare weapons and a Planeptune ending in the end Now few days without gaming ahead of me, because of business trips

$125... for physical tier... hopefully I will be satisfied in the end

Just finished Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 for third time, with Conquest ending route... Pretty sad ending Dunno what to play next... probably, I'll prepare some Pathfinder RPG modules for next few weeks, and then probably another walkthrough of FFXIII-2 or Atelier Rorona...

If you have problems with remembering what is happening in the long games, try to do the same thing most of us did 20 years ago - playing with notepad and writing small notes, some games have now even editable in-game logs. It works like a charm, and it helps more and more the older you are

Yup, but I was not comparing it to Sim City anyway, I was just answering your question with the first game, which came to my mind No need to bash EA further, they are doing a good job by themselves

Yes it is multiplayer, but the question was about online only game, not online only SP game AAAAnd comparing it with CS is wrong, because CS can be played offline, because you can play solo with bots, which is not case for TF2 AFAIK... (correct me if I am wrong)... And I have seen lot of MP only games played offline at some LAN parties as well, because some guys were bright enough to cut-off the online requirements of these games with a Razor or two and brought handmade dedicated server

New interview of Chris Avellone... http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/03/29/chris-avellone-interview-torment-project-eternity-and-beyond/

You'll be an old fart in only 7 more years? Wouldn't that mean you're already an old fart? Just admit it.

I am using ADSL myself as well, max 5Mbps, but unlimited downloads... though the only things which I am downloading are emails and patches... so my monthly usage is somewhere between 500MB and 10GB depending... with median being somewhere around 1GB... I was thinking about faster connection, but I would really not be able to use it to the fullest, so it would be to me just wasted money... I am just sticking to relatively slow option (we have available up to 100Mbps for not very steep prices in my city, and it is possible to share the connection between neighbours, if they are not complete morons )...

Plans for 30Mbps broadband for everyone in EU by 2020 in motion!!! http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/eu-intent-on-delivering-30mbps-broadband-to-everyone-by-2020/ To bad I will be old fart at that time, and will not get much use of it

And I always prefer to spend 30 hours of awesome than spending 15 hours of awesome

It's strange to expect that from a single-player FPS without replaying the game at least once. The reason you get dozens more hours out of an RPG is because they're slower and thicker. Not always to their credit (a lot of that slowness can be due to padding with fetch quests, collecting x number of y quests, etc., why I still haven't finished chapter 1 of the Witcher, it's just so full of boring MMO quests and even more boring gameplay.) And a tabletop RPG isn't even an acceptable comparison, here. Apples and oranges, and all that. Last FPS which I played and really enjoyed was Quake 2, which did have much longer first playthrough than 12 hours, but I still had to play it on hardest difficulty to have some fun... So sorry to expect the same from other similar games... And I was not comparing computer games with tabletop games... I was just simply stating a fact, that because computer games did become short and cheap storywise, I completely changed my focus on home entertainment... Year or two ago my average spending was 250 monthly on computers and 5-10 on tabletop... now it is completely different...

That really depends on how many hours were put in over those 2 days. If the game really is at the 15-20 hour mark, that's a pretty reasonable amount of cost per hour. Maybe it is strange, but I expect to get at least 30 hours of entertainment for a full price... the price does not matter for me... I am spending currently about 150-200 EUR/month on home entertainment... mostly on Patfhinder RPG products though...

The more I am reading it here about original PST, the more and more I want to replay it... But with my huge backlog accumulated over last 6 months and my almost non existant free time... *sighs*

Seriously 22MBps and 4GB limit? How you do not burn that in less than a two days? Would it not be better for you to have slower speed for cheaper fee, if you are not downloading anything big?

hmmm already finished Bioshock in two days? I do not think 60 bucks for 2 days of gaming as a good investment, even if it is praised by some...

The gaming industry becoming more and more ridiculous... Tomb Raider is out less than a month, it sold 3.4 millions without counting DDs and is still not considered as a success??? Seriously What a Flying **** are the Board members of these companies smoking???
