@Sfr528 Reviews (at least professional ones) are not very helpful at all in helping you figure out if you'll like a game. They can help you realize a game is bad (e.g. you're extremely unlikely to like a game that gets like a 4/10) but they really aren't good at helping you figure out what games in the ~7.0+ range are right for you.

Only demos can really do that, and sadly most devs don't release demos anymore.

@Vambran Yeah I'm sure that's because Diablo had better DRM than TW2... you are absolutely brainless if you think that.

Also Starcraft 2 can be played just fine offline.

@Vambran Remind me how that worked out for Diablo 3, again?

@Vambran You do realize that games with DRM are typically cracked and available for easy pirating on day 1, right? Your argument is baseless.

People who will pirate, will pirate. People who won't, won't. DRM doesn't do anything to stop piracy, and if it's draconian enough it will motivate people to pirate instead of purchase just because they don't want the DRM.

Day 1 purchase for me because these guys get it. They understand that the customer matters at least as much as the bean counters' bottom line. It is ALWAYS better to treat your customer as a customer rather than as a criminal.

The scumbags at publishers like EA (and not just them but all publishers who use deceptive and draconian methods to try to rip off and control paying customers) need to take notice of this.

@censoredlogin That reaction (which according to these comments is how 99% of people react to marketing trailers) is why devs/publishers these days sell games with meaningless CGI marketing trailers instead of demos.

Trailers tell you nothing meaningful about a game.

@Double-Ego You're right, you didn't contradict yourself, you just said something and then immediately said the opposite 2 minutes later while accusing me of doing what you did originally.

How silly of me to think that is contradicting yourself - it's more like trolling.

Now you're contradicting yourself by repeatedly posting here while saying you're not going to.

Let me show you how one doesn't contradict onesself: I'm done with you, ignorant troll.

@Double-Ego Newsflash: It's not biased to point out that PCs are much more powerful than consoles.

It's truth.

You must feel pretty silly for not being able to string together any consistent arguments and contradicting yourself over and over.

Thank you for the lulz of your own self-deception/contradictions.

@Grenadeh Unless you have very odd gaming taste, this statement is nonsense. For example:

Bioshock series

Mass Effect series

Rainbow Six 3

Splinter Cell series (early games anyways)

Batman:AA and AC

Borderlands 1 & 2

Gears of War

Dishonored

XCOM:Enemy Unknown

Now, obviously there are going to be people who don't like lots of those games, but some of the biggest titles of the past decade come from Unreal Tech.

@Double-Ego Nope you accused me of bias immediately after I pointed out how much more powerful PCs are than consoles and before any other discussion had occurred. I can quote the convo if you forget.

It is you that went out on the witch hunt... how do you like your own medicine?
