Resident Evil 5 Gets Steamworks Instead of Games for Windows Live, New Content

<< LINK REMOVED >> You blaming Ebola and HIV AIDS on the chinese now?

<< LINK REMOVED >> Go play RE6 and come back to play this......once you do that this game will make you feel like you've just won some free cake!

<< LINK REMOVED >> That's because it was just an excuse not to try. I have to wonder if they'll try to pull off a RE 5 Super HD version for PS4 and XBO. I don't care about graphics, so if Capcom want's to take advantage of PS4 and XBO gamers, I say let them.

<< LINK REMOVED >> It's a technological issue and has affected many games that used GFWL. Some games can't even be played anymore at all.

You are free to continue to play your DLC with your version you bought. But if you want to do the steamworks version it requires you to purchase it again. Annoying? Sure, but hardly some evil ploy.

<< LINK REMOVED >> With the 'hey where are you going', " I said, wait don't step on that yet", and my favorite "come here need to trade shells" - there are alot of co-op games i could recommend more.

<< LINK REMOVED >> It works 100% on Windows 8.1

<< LINK REMOVED >> Well I have not tried GFWL and/or have not needed any of its features - but me and a few of my friends have had serious issues with Origins EA client. Beyond the issues of privacy, (including Origins sending search data back to third parties as found by German industry just last summer 14'), or the runaround just trying to access your games, my issue is that Origin running in the background uses ram and resources for no apparent reason. While my rig can handle this, I see no reason this should be going on.

And our biggest issue is sometimes not having access to games- either due to downtimes, connection issues (either ours or theirs), and Origin client problems that require a re install. I could understand this if it was an online game like MMORPG but a single player RPG or just some friends that would rather play a LAN game in the same living room without Origins ads.

<< LINK REMOVED >> GFWL truly did suck. You had to sign into an account, in addition to signing into Steam, and it often deleted saves. For instance, my Fallout 3 saves? Gone. No idea what happened to them. There went a good chunk of my life.

Origin, on the other hand, really isn't that bad. At least it has an easy return policy, and when I had to call about something the customer service was excellent.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Oh, it's not like gfwl offers no protection against hackers, right? It's not like you can lose your save files, right? It's not like it may be a total pain for newbies to make a game run (I had to PIRATE bulletstorm even though i HAVE the game on steam simply because i couldnt play because of this stupid drm). And every time you format your pc you have to lose some time just to manage to play the game. Plus, just the fact that is a secondary drm while you play on steam is already bs enough, Making it harder to manage to play your games and keep yourself is what makes it atrocious. Just because you claim it didnt happened to you nor to your clients (i really doubt that, really. I always have some trouble to play gfwl games everytime i format my pc. Not even uplay nor origin manages to be a pain in that aspect,) it doesnt mean it was great for everyone else. If it was, a much lower number of people would be celebrating it's riddance.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I can't speak for no one else, but I've had a problem with save games resetting in GFWL. I put in a lot of work in those games unlocking things and some of those things I used in co-op or multiplayer gameplay. That's something I wish I didn't have to go through. Sometimes, putting in my GTA IV product key again for some reason. I've had other issues as well, but I haven't had to use GFWL for anything in so long.

<< LINK REMOVED >> RE5 is actually a good action game. No horror, which some consider bad, but the action is well made.

Resident Evil has always been good fun, most people just like to complain. it changed towards a more action oriented genre though, but it's still good.

Resident Evil 5 is one of my favorite games ever along with many other RE entries because they're very diverse instead of always being the same game all over again.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yep, same here.
