Today, i am both happy face, and sad face.

Steam/Store/Dead Rising 2/40$

WHAT!?

For the first time in years... A mainstream game... 40$... O.O -pounces-

Then...

-scroll down-

-reads requirements-

GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE.

DUN DUN DU-DU DUNDUUUUUN.....

I am now sad face...

Thoughts?

GFWL, not buying.

I already have one always on DRM system that requires a login, why would I pay good money for a game that requires two just to work?

 

[Zahri]

Awww fuck.
I already pre-ordered it.

Is GFWL really that bad?

Not bad, just unnecessary garbage.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

It's not that bad for a single player game. You have to install it then work out how to create an offline account, which it doesn't want you to do, and from then on it is only a minor annoyance. Not really worth boycotting a game for any more than a game needing DirectX.

 

[Legendairy314]

Game prices scaling to their quality? What madness is this!?

Not much of a Steam gamer right now but that seriously makes me consider it...

 

[PPB]

I've had to deal with GFWL for Fallout 3, GTA IV and Arkham Asylum and I honestly don't see why people complain that much. It's not such a big deal.

 

[Woodsey]

Is GFWL really that bad?

It ranges from annoying to game-stopping, based on the alignment of the planets.

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU- I was gonna get this too. Fuck it now, I'm not buying another GFWL game after GTA IV. I doubt I'll even get it now, I'll maybe just play it on my brothers PS3 when he buys it.

 

[Hiphophippo]

It's not really surprising. Microsoft is pretty behind the Dead Rising franchise. I'll admit though, every time I see a new game with that shit on it I'm always briefly amused it hasn't gone the way of the dodo yet.

Awww fuck.

It crippled Fallout 3 for me.

When I removed it the game ran smoother, stuttered less, and became much more stable.
Plus the service itself is unnecessarily annoying and a pain in the ass.

 

[Sacman]

well, strike Dead Rising 2 off my list of games...

And that makes me feel much better :3

 

[Champion360]

Crap! I freakimg hate GFWL.

Here i come xbox.

 

[Dango]

No thoughts on Dead Rising. At all.

But I downloaded a demo on Steam for a game called Reccetear: An Item Shop's Tale. I now must have the full game.

Waaaaait, THAT's why Fallout 3 will just suddenly go Hhrrnnngh and stop dead?

A DRM measure?

 

[Sephychu]

So sure its a **** but there are ways to lessen the irritation.

Man, that's a quote they should put on sanitary towel ads or something.

GFWL doesn't seem to have done much to harm DOW II for me. Why does it seem to vary so much from person to person?
