Is it final?
Man, if it is, it will be the first game I'll play on a console (my wife's Xbox) -- will learn how to handle that damn controller no matter what! I look like a moron with that thing!
Fanatic for wasteland, post-apocalypse games!

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]Too bad the game is going to blow. No loss really.locopathoI disagree, looks cool :) It's a very good game.
"Not brought to PC because short 3rd person games with seriously clunky controls don't sell well on the PC"
FTFY
This has nothing to do with piracy, UBIsoft released numerous PC exclusives last year. The game just isn't good enough. If it was a longer and better game they would release it on the PC. What happened was that they realised it was going to be short and had some issues, so they cut their losses.
So the GS review is not to be trusted?... :(
Two things that matter most for me:
1. Atmosphere.
2. Immersion.
And it seemed to have both by the bucketful...:|

You may enjoy it. Unless it's priced stupidly, I doubt you'll regret it all that much if it isn't good.
It has both of those.It just sucks you in. I still need to finish it on Suvival Mode.So the GS review is not to be trusted?... :(

Now I'll have to watch some gameplay videos. When the majority says it sucks, usually it does... :(

Oh my...
To get it or not to get it, that is the damn question...
I got L.A. Noire and Alan Wake on Steam, and am seriously interested in Binary Domain... Your sig: Anachronox, this is the game!I'm still holding back on getting it on console. Too many games came out lately that I never expected to come out on PC (LA Noire, Alan Wake, Rayman Origins (soon), Binary Domain (soon)).
G-Lord
Have you played it? It is nothing like it seems to be then? :-/The game looked awesome, but it was only for the looks..

That was the reason given, and a lot of publishers really hate piracy. Its not some game destroying thing like publishers make it out to be, but its also not a rare problem like some people here make it out to be. Its a big deal, and in such large numbers a lot of publishers can notice when there are thousands more people playing online then bought the game. Since not everyone owning it would be on at the same time, then that means a BUTTLOAD of people pirated a game.
Its an overreaction to miss out on sales on PC because of piracy, but I can understand the fear, especially when the PC community blows up if they try DRM, and pirates won't care if they are kind and awesome because they are pirates.

Servers have been able to check for a valid key/account since the '90s. Any developer that can't keep pirates off their service is incompetent.

Yeah that is a big gaffe on the part of some developers. I was referring to IW actually when they pulled numbers from CoD4 and noticed that.
Pirates will always crack DRM, but I think the best thing you can do is try to make it as hard as possible to pirate, while not affecting the legitimate users with "always online" DRM that annoys everyone.
Bought it and beat it tonight, dont worry PC gamers you arent missing much. This game had a ton of potential but its extremely shallow, almost no real story and the controls are clunky as hell (shooting/combat mostly). I was actually liking it a bit until I relized it just ended on a whim with no real ending. I know it was only 15 bucks for a 5 hour game which is pretty good but for a game thats been in production for 3+ years it should be better than this.
[QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="Karnage108"]Easy to tell which comments are from hermits in this thread... "lolz game sucks". ... as true as that might be.Karnage108no... it does suck (console gamer here) That doesn't address the fact that developers are reluctant to put it on PC due to piracy.
Any time Ubisoft has a bordeline title they don't want to put any more $$$ into for a PC version they cry piracy, I wouldn't put much stock into what they say. They don't seem to take such a stand on larger titles they have confidence in...
