Duke Nukem Forever: Steamworks and Sexy Hats

[Woodsey]

Using steamworks, one more game that I will have to cross of my buy list. I am now down to one or maybe two games this entire year.
When I first heard about this years line up there where 11 game on it, but one by one DRM has strip them from the list, only one was removed because trouble with the game itself.

A game has to be on a way cheap sale before I will put up with the hassle that is steam.

Wha-

Bu-

You have 53 games on Steam!

Duke headbutting aliens with the big head mode has potential.

 

[uppitycracker]

Is it weird that I assumed the hat would be in Team Fortress 2?

i think it's far too early to assume that won't end up happening anyway

Steam's a hassle? News to me.



WHAT THE HELL, MAN! Impostor devil's advocate, much?

Anyways, I wasn't intending to buy it, but MAN, that's a nice hat.

Steam = no buy. Ever. F**k them.

Tell us how you really feel. I still haven't gotten a decent anti-Steam argument.

 

[duchaked]

decisions decisions...

and then there's Bulletstorm versus this...

I'll be playing through Duke Nukem 3d...see if that helps influence/cause bias in my decision haha

Now instead of waiting forever for it, it now forever stays with you.

Now, am I the only one who saw this?

Gonna have to go with Sgt. Steam is pretty much god's gift to gamers. The only users that didn't like it was that one Mac guy.

Good thing I'm ordering this one for my X360, then.

Why is that, you ask? Because you can bet your powdered bottom that the Steam localization curse will hit us German gamers like the cheap ***** it is, and that it will automatically cripple the game and turn it into something decidedly non-Duke, even if you purchase an uncut copy from abroad.

Steam can be a godsend sometimes, but in cases like this it can go die in a fire for all I care.

And I never paid more than 15 for any of them and if you remove three never more than 10. I might stress it to 20 if the game seemed really good but any more and the DRM would make it a no go for me.
I never said steam was bad it is for older game that GOG doesn't have and you can't get anywhere else or game on a really good sale where the cheaper price make up for the DRM. But buying a new game, never.

Umm, Sgt. was the anti-Steam one...

What DRM?

Yeah, short post, but I still haven't gotten an answer for this either.

How come?

Who saying it eventionally won't be?

 

[Levi93]

So if I buy DNF on ps3, can I download it on steam aswell or vice versa? Is it kinda like Portal 2?

 

[lacktheknack]

If I buy a game on a freakin' DVD, I want to be able to play it forever. I won't accept any stupid background program which will delay running the game.

I despise DRM. Now, I KINDA can accept simple disk-check copy protection. That way, the only thing I need to download AFTER BUYING THE GAME is a little crack. With games requiring Steam, I'd need to download the whole fucking game from torrent sites, which means they'll call me a pirate. Plus it's pretty hard to even install updates for such games. If I don't like the game, I don't want to see it in my Steam account. I want to be able to sell it without hassle.

The last retail game I bought that uses Steam(works) still lies unopened on my shelf. Good riddance too. If I'd have to be reminded about that piece of shit K&L2 every time I fired up Steam, I'd have to shoot myself.

Your loss.

No. Not even close.

 

[JediMB]

I guess Duke will be #101 on my Steam list.

I have to wonder what sorts of pre-order offers we will be getting in Sweden. Not putting down any pre-orders for a while so I'll have time to find out.

They haven't said anything about it being a Steamworks game on the PS3, so most likely you can't.
