Can't wait till Cliffy comes back to game development with a pretty shootan' game with generic characters and a shit story in a six hour campaign so he can complain about how people are trading it in.Randolph
:lol:
Cliffy has a long history of dumb quotes and mediocre games. I especially love his rationale for not putting GoW 2 on PC,"The person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card is a person who is savvy enough to know all the elements so they can pirate software." So those with working knowledge of computers are all potential pirates, thanks Cliffy!
Well not so much an in-game mistake, but I played through the DLC campaign of Ryder White without knowing it was DLC and wound up ruining the plot of Dead Island for myself (such as it is). At first I thought that was how the whole game played out until I realized it was just a really bad DLC and not indicative of the core gameplay.
Steam isn't perfect, but it's probably the most consumer-friendly DRM out there and I'm fine with it. My biggest gripes are that installing mods can be a pain in the ass and that older titles aren't optimized for modern operating systems (Good Old Games does this, why can't Valve?). Also, their support is pretty piss poor. But hey, the games are cheap!
Oh, and there's the infamous "xx files failed to validate and will be reacquired" glitch for some titles that years later, Valve has elected not to fix. Yes, the fix is to run Steam as an administrator and then validate the game files cache, but that's still not the point. I shouldn't have to Google for a fix for something so rudimentary.
[QUOTE="dvader654"]You guys all realize that Sony still allows publishers to create their own DRM, the system itself wont have a system for it though. So pubs can still use codes or who knows what to keep things restricted.N3MO
They made it clear that DRM policies for the PS4 are exactly the same as the PS3. And the most we have ever seen out of it is online passes. I am cool with that since most games I buy don't have an online pass.
Sony won't stand in the way, but it appears that they're still deferring to publishers, essentially the same approach as Microsoft. They didn't exactly lie about it, but it appears to be a half-truth at best until we hear otherwise. Sony was just more tactful in this regard.
Who would MS pay off exactly? The third parties that are already in Sony's pocket? The titans of multiplats? This just doesn't seem to have any basis in reality.
I can give youa million reasons but i have a feeling you wont buy any of them.
I likely wouldn't buy it because it would sound like the furthest thing from anything rational. But why not state your reasons anyway? If MS was paying in the billions I could believe it, but that just isn't happening unless someone can prove otherwise. On the surface, it seems completely absurd. Are Activision, UbiSoft, and EA hurting for bread so badly that they would take a bribe from MS?
