Mamoulian War

The anti-DRM crowd is full of bold claims but extremely light on actual studies, papers, etc. For instance the claim that Starforce burns up drives would be fairly easy to demonstrate: Buy 200 identical DVD drives: have 100 of them running starforce protected games non-stop and have 100 running non-starforce games non-stop... there should be a statistically significant difference in drive life if starforce does burn up drives as claimed. Apparently, every single anti-DRM person in the world is poor and cannot afford to bankroll such a study... I just have to listen to anecdotal stories on how Starforce ruined someone's drive edit: I am in no way endorsing Starforce... I think it's a crappy form of DRM. But in the same way I don't assume a defendant with a crappy background is guilty of murder I don't assume these hardware destruction stories are true because of the crappiness of their DRM scheme. Show the proof The fact, that every single publisher (except some russians) left StarForce behind and do not want to touch it again, is for me proof good enough

fixed... see it can be said both ways... and both are 100% accurate...

Final Fantasy Origins

What's wrong with that??? You know Final Fantasy XI was released in 2002... so FF XIV will be released 8 years after... Which is imo logical... And i bet Blizzard has similar plans for their next gen MMO release schedule...

If it works only in Ring 0, it's bad... For me it is not bad, because i use Acronis for creating image of my PC's OS before i install any DRMed game... after i uninstall it i restore the image to the state before... If you install any type of programs which works in Ring 0 and dont reinstall your PC at least once in a year and have static IP address, you can consider yourself lucky if you dont get your PC hi-jacked few times

same **** like Spore, just with different smell...

It's just matter of taste... I have DS, but i have few friends with PSP who laugh at concept of playing with touchstick (or how the hell is it called)... And I will be buying PSP with Dissidia release this year aswell... My biggest problem with DS is that it does not have memory card slot like PSP and you can save mostly only on 2 or 3 positions directly on the game cartridge, which is for many games, especialy RPGs, pretty retarded... My biggest problem with PSP is it's battery endurance...

Report on serious research about DRM and it impacts on common people and institutions... http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/20...t-of-us-all.ars

If a wrecked, derelict, mutant infested, radiation bathed sinkhole of human corpses that is Chernobyl isn't special, than nothing is. alanschu: imho established history doesn't matter much when a, they didn't bother gathering every info there is, and b, they retcon it anyway. you are forgetting that FO3 is in different part of the world than FO1 and 2... Going very close to anything that happened long time ago and few hundred miles away would be ridiculous... Because most of the people in FO universe (the people in vaults namely) do not even know that there are any people living outside their vaults... In other words... the games are in same universe but in different settings...

that's the reasons why i never play on public servers

Except that they've completely destroyed whatever interesting lore they had to suit WoW's gameplay. this

You know same can be said about people who hate Fallout 3 just because it is not the same cup of tea like Fallout 1 and 2, without even playing it... OMG Blasphemy... there are millions of gamers with different gaming preferences... learn to live with it... and maybe then you stop being pissed off everytime you read some forums... I have not purchased it because i dont think it's the same quality like Fallout 1 and 2... But all DLC on 1 hardcopy together with the game for a budget price is worth it imo... at least Bethesda is not putting some limited activation **** on their games... EDIT: Besides, questioning other people sanity because they do like different games than you do is pretty lame...

WTF ??? No PC version??? EDIT: And where did you read about it... no words on bethsoft page...

And then Sub-Zero and Scorpion come to the rescue !!!

looks like this will be the final nail to the coffin of my old PC time to get finaly some quadcore before the launch of AvP3...

We won't find out anytime soon. Besides, Blizzard has a fifth project in development as well. I'm more curious about that (SC Ghost pretty please?). i wish it would be Black Thorne 2

WoW was planned up to lvl 100 when it was released 4 years ago... how they changed their plans on that, no one knows, but if they go same way as so far, we will have lvl 90 expansion in 2010 and lvl 100 expansion in 2012... and last lvl 100 raids will be released 2013-2014... that means new MMO could be planned for 2014 - 2015 to release...

they might have the best stuff ever, but good game is not only about how good the tools are... Starcraft 2 is announced for more than 2 years and imo will be in betatesting more than 1 more... not telling how long they did develop it befoer they announced it... good software have to be made few years... or you get EA-like shovelware...

Software developed in 3-5 months can be called everything but quality software... Now. 2076 is not now. i still not believe it will be in 2076 aswell

Software developed in 3-5 months can be called everything but quality software...

Why would Eidos use an Ubisoft engine? Eidos got purchased by Square Enix, and Ubisoft has publishing agreements with Ubisoft for Japan and vice versa... i would not be surprised if they made some agreements about crosslicensing some stuff aswell... In other words SE is in very close relationship with Ubisoft

Yeah it pretty much sums up my 6 year experience with CounterStrike before i stop playing it 4 years ago

Call yourself TheGorgon then :D

I think it was just the economic downturn in the world... I bet there were no banks willing borrow them more money
