What are you playing now? Part 3'ish
It serves a DRM purpose. You have to create an online profile, which gives them time to check if your game is cracked. Of course it didn't work, but then nothing they ever try works. Diablo 3 was cracked maybe a week later than norm complete with an always online server emulator. That and execs love looking at statistics. Information about how their customers play their games will likely be used to screw something up that didn't need changing some time in the future.

I dunno, he looks kinda shifty. I get more spoon bender than visionary.

Gave up on Max Payne 3. Got to the last, or thereabouts, bossfight with a guy hiding behind a riot shield and shooting a grenade launcher, died close to 100 times on hard and a few more on easy. Just couldn't figure out what direction the game was shoohorning me into then decided I didn't care. A shame really it was pretty good otherwise. Why are most bossfights anoying anomalies that you just wish were over. There are better ways of making it difficult than having the player go through a trail and error process because the gameplay is different from what you have been doing 90% of the time.

It's not so much a discovery as wishful thinking though.

Disturbing to say the least, but it raises an interesting question. What happens when you will be able to buy more life with money. In a general health sense we are already there, but when the very rich become immortal. Will it be time to reimagine the monetary system, will a revolution succeed, or will they divide and conquer like they always have.

Well alrigth if they came to me begging for an eight-some I might not turn them down, if it was a slow day that is.

STEAM!
As bad as windows is my experience of MacOs is that everything has large shiny buttons, there is no context menu on the right click button and you can't do anything if you are not signed into Itunes. Can you even still install from disk or is it all Appstore now.

The strength of the series is in the feel, the level design and the exploration but appart from that its a shooter and it gets quite challenging at times.

What are you playing now? Part 3'ish
I'm enjoying it on the whole. I like that you can kill almost anything with one well placed shot and that you die when caught flat footed. That is to say, when you have run out of win button, or bullet time as it were. There are still a few griefs about it that keep me from loving it. The weapon shifting is wonky. Mouse wheel would be preferable to the mini menu. Why does the game take away your carefully collected guns in every single cut sceene. It get's a bit irritating. The golden guns minigame is lame. Why would you want to complete that and make all your gun textures ugly. The mouse speed gets borked when you are prone or in some of the scripted slo mo events. The rail shooter sequences are boring, there is no spatial awareness, no tactical movement. The story isn't great, I could live with that but most of the 15 hours of gameplay is interspaced with unskippable cutscenes every five minuites.
