Syraxis Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Modeling Morality: The Chaos of Dishonored Sounds good.
Zoraptor Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 It's up to the publisher how the DLC is distributed, in this case EA is trying to play hardball with Steam and prop up their own Origin(and GFWL apparently). Steam does support DLC if the publishers choose to use it. Rather round the wrong way. Steam wants all DLC for games sold on it to be available 'native' on Steam, so that they can get their cut. Other DD channels aren't effected, only the one which wants compulsory DLC distribution rights. Or in other words it's a specific, and specifically, Steam TOS condition causing the problem, and specific Steam action to remove EA's games. Stick Steam DA2 key into Origin, purchase DLC, problem solved. Next problem to work on, having terrible taste in games (ahahaha).
HoonDing Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Modeling Morality: The Chaos of Dishonored There's also Meet the Devs thread at Bethsoft forums, similar to the one that New Vegas had, for those that are interested. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Bos_hybrid Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Red Faction Series Abandoned After Disappointing Sales Damn I've always enjoyed the RF games.
Gorth Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Red Faction Series Abandoned After Disappointing Sales Damn I've always enjoyed the RF games. As much as I loved the original Red Faction, the second game was such a disappointment that I wrote off the franchise back then. Then I bought some bundle from Gamersgate one day, to get the third installment (Guerilla, which I've yet to play), but I didn't even know that there was a fourth game?!? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

That's interesting, is this a new development or has it been going the whole time? I've never bought any DLC from Steam... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Bendu Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 It's a new development and I think it's connected with the launch of Free-To-Play games on Steam.

That doesn't really explain why only EA games are pulled, considering that other games do the same thing (see Dirt 3). I guess you could argue that since they're selling their DLC through GfWL it's different but.. I'm not convinced. Granted, Valve is by far one of the strictest digital services but I don't think it would be too difficult to arrange different conditions for free-to-play titles and normal titles.

Guerilla is probably the best game in the series. You should play it.
trulez Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Heh, if yes, that would only be America's Army 3 then I didn't mean games that I own on Steam, I meant games that I own, that can be bought through Steam. like I said I hate Steam and I only use it to play games that were gifts or that require Steam to run at all. Say what ? If you haven't played any of those games on Steam, or haven't expereinced the lack of DLCs or the inability to use custom content, then what on earth you base your hate on ?

Morgoth Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Crytek working on open world action RPG? I think this years gamescom should be much more interesting than E3. Rain makes everything better.
Sannom Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I think this years gamescom should be much more interesting than E3. Isn't it always the case?
Morgoth Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I think this years gamescom should be much more interesting than E3. Isn't it always the case? No. Last years gamescom was rather drab. But it's really about time to get new stuff announced from Obsidian, Rockstar, and possibly Bioware. Rain makes everything better.
sorophx Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 what on earth you base your hate on ? I can't play any of the games I have on Steam without logging into Steam first, if for some reason Steam won't let me log in, I can't play the game period. this alone is enough to hate it. and then there's the constant updating of the friggin' client. currently, with only 2 games installed (Alien Swarm and AA3), my Steam folder weights at almost 9 GB. the only reason I don't delete Steam completely is the fact that I have a couple of friends there that I don't want to lose contact with, I play AS with them occasionally. this is yet another reason why Steam just isn't for me Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Purkake Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Offline mode + turning off auto-update? 9GB seems about right for AA3, don't really see the problem there. So yeah.
Sannom Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 turning off auto-update You shoud know by now, that thing doesn't work! It always sets back to 'on'.
Raithe Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I have to admit its a bit annoying, the last month or so Steam won't let me go to offline mode. Just flashes an error message, and tells me I have to restart in online mode. But then I haven't been in a gaming mood the last month, so it hasn't bothered me enough to dig into whats causing it.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Morgoth Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Why would anyone go into offline mode in the first place? And last time I checked, it does work. Rain makes everything better.
Nepenthe Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I think this years gamescom should be much more interesting than E3. Isn't it always the case? No. Last years gamescom was rather drab. But it's really about time to get new stuff announced from Obsidian, Rockstar, and possibly Bioware. I very much doubt Bio will be announcing any new games, at least. With SWTOR and ME3 on the way, I'd say e3 2012 is the first we'll hear of anything new. Possibly an expansion for DA2, but I suspect if there were any such plans, they've been postponed and that team put to work on Legacy, as well. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Yeah, but Bio has a gazillion people, they better work on something else. Wasn't there once a rumor about something called Project Zulu? Rain makes everything better.

Bendu Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 What is BioWare Montreal working on? Obsidians new game will be announced after the launch of Deus Ex.
Volourn Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 "I very much doubt Bio will be announcing any new games, at least.

" The BIo you are referring to - EDMONTON- is NOT working on the MMO. BIO EDM is only working on ME3 which is less than a year from release. DA3 is pretty much already being developed as certain people have 'spoiled' it. BIO EDM has hundreds of people so no doubt that they cna handle more than 2 projects. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
