I won't go down into console vs PC arguments, but if I were asked why I prefer PC and "trust" digital service on PC more is simply because PC isn't solely for gaming. Consoles come and go, but PC will still a PC which will always needed to work/etc.

I have high hopes on Ninty future account system an their push on digital service, but I'm not holding my breath. Why digital? Because I can't justify shipping and headache from tax/custom.

What JaseC said.

I'd also argue that, going forward, things are going to be better. The period of time that gets brought up as a counterpoint (circa 2000) was a particularly rough one in terms of port quality and hardware compatibility.

Games are getting released with less invasive DRMs and you will generally have a way to circumvent it nowadays.

Older software generally works great thanks to emulators like Scumm and Dosbox. Hell, even a lot of 2000 era software can work well under Windows virtualization or even Wine in Linux.

I won't let you infect me with your optimism.

Such a weird trend. Sorta odd that it didn't happen years ago, but I guess it was more classic game collections and such, rather than up-ports.

God of War 3 had some weird double jumping. Like, you can't just double tap the button, but have to wait until the apex of the first jump, then tap it to initiate the second. Even then, it took me a bit of practice, particularly when it came to utilizing the wings to glide. Died a lot at first.

Guess not all Twitter giveaways are besieged by bots. Guess I now own Cities:Skylines.

Talking about getting banned for something and then repeating that something multiple times is just a bad idea all around.

This release makes no sense. It would have one if Sony remastered the whole trilogy, not the conclusive chapter of a trilogy in which, if you didn't play at least GOW2, you won't understand nothing.

What's there to understand? Story: Kratos is still angry and kills everyone.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

It took several years for me to trust console services again after Microsoft banned my Live account that I had spent over $3,000 on for no reason and gave me no recourse. That was back in 2007 and it was my first experience in digital content locker services like this for gaming. Contacting their support was fruitless.

That's probably why it took me so long to get into using Steam (2011) and I didn't have a PSN account until late 2013 when I bought my Vita. Thankfully I haven't had a problem with either of these yet.

Super Mario All-Stars was a revelation back in the day. And before that Pac-Man could be seen as a "remaster" on the NES of the awful Atari 2600 port.

Did I miss Nuuvem introducing a global IP lock recently or did I just get unlucky with particular games? Couldn't put either Homecoming nor the Lego bundle in my cart without VPN.

Dungeons 2 is up for pre-purchase and is using the tiered rewards system. It releases in exactly one month and a week, so the progress bar should be full by the time the game has unlocked worldwide.

Read a long, positive preview in a German mag about Dungeons 2, could end up being a worthy new Dungeon Keeper with enough differences to make it not look like a cheap copy.

It's been like that the past few weeks for me as well. Luckily you can buy through Paypal/VPN pretty easily.

Still a pain.

On that note, how would I find out if the key on Russian Green Man is ROW or locked down?

2k really want to let Evolve die.

I mean first the DLC shit. And now the prices.

22.95 (AUD) $ for the monster? Seriously?
Click to expand...
I cant remember where I read it (I think it was this forum) but someone speculated they used Evolve as a test bed for a bunch of DLC ideas to know how far they can go for their other games. Since its not an important IP to them they dont risk doing damage to anything that matters.

Holy crap, the Total War modding community is insane. I've been playing the Rage of the Dark Gods mod (Warhammer Fantasy total conversion for Medieval 2) and the amount of work put into it is astounding. They have every unit and every faction from the tabletop game INCLUDING all the lore for every unit and every faction. Not only that, every single unit model is painstakingly detailed and looks incredibly professional. Aside from some bugs it's just as competent (if not more so) as the real game.

My only gripe is Sylvania is practically impossible to survive as past turn 10. The enemy pressure is too strong and just wipes me off the map. I even tried cheating my way to victory with tons of money and instant buildings but I couldn't even make it to turn 8.

Other than that it's super good. It's probably the best video game interpretation of Warhammer fantasy we will get in quite a long time.
