Digital rights management (DRM) is a means of controlling the amount of machines that programs can be installed onto in an effort to crack down on internet piracy......"
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."
I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.
"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"
Really?
MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.
Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.
Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.
THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
While we have witnessed a lot of remakes, remasters and even sequels to games a decade old. There are still some gems that are close to my heart that are lost to me. Here are some classic games that I'd love to either see remakes or remasters of, or even a sequel on new hardware.
I still don't like their new idea but it's one step in the right direction i guess. At least gamers protest are getting through EA just like Bad Company and their pay for weapons dlc.
why these measures were taken in the first place
i have 3 well 2 are mine and ones 90% mine 2 instates one here in uk :)
but ontopic its about damn time ea listened
Now it sounds a bit more realistic.
The problem with DRM is that, in the end all it does is hinder the legitimate user who bought the game. The people pirating the games have the better deal, since they won't be dealing with the DRM, since it was already removed for them. DRM just doesn't work, it always gets cracked. The only game I can think of that lasted long enough was Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. That game lasted around a year and a half before the pirates and hackers cracked it. But the starforce protection used was horrendous, and known for ruining computers in the process, and not enabling users to use some of their programs with it installed (all copying programs). The pirates who cracked the other starforce protected games didn't even have to deal with that stuff, and are getting the better experience.
Personally, I think that if the if the publishers want to keep their games from being pirated, they should try and shut down torrent sites (really, does anyone actually use them to find torrents for legal stuff, don't think so. Just like people by Free to Air receivers to watch free satellites? You know he or she are going to use it to watch Dish Network, who are they trying to fool), and stop bit torrent file sharing and other P2P services. I personally would hate it, but how many people do you know who are willing to host server space for multi-gigabyte games these days? Nobody, that's why bit torrent is out there now, everybody shares, everybody pirates. It's a nice service to have, but it is doing far more damage to publishers then any good.
