You've still got a couple of weeks. TW2's main campaign isn't all that long, really.

Oh, wow, Raven's Cry did THAT badly? It looked like it had potential but yeah, I gotta say they have nobody to blame but themselves for that one.

Please tell me you're kidding. Raven's Cry was a piece of trash that should never have been released. After numerous delays, they still released something that barely passes as a prototype, filled with poor quality content and half-finished ideas.

Even it's best element (SteamGAF remembers the NSFW song!) couldn't redeem it. Which says a lot.

I didn't even realize the game had been released. It's a shame the game is drek as I could have gone for some piratey goodness. Looks as though the game is nothing but piratey badness though.

Freedom = $1.05 said:
again, the cost of each download isn't worth it to them. when you download something from PSN, publishers pay for each download. It isn't free for them, and i'm assuming that redownloads probably have a cost to them, too.

I'm not saying it's right, i'm saying that i can see how keeping it up on a server makes zero business sense given that the game is dead. It also sets a precedent i can't get behind, not allowing you access to something you've downloaded in the past.

Konami just needs to sell off its gaming division, or at least sell any IP that isn't Metal Gear since that's all they're producing anymore really.

Ah so it's from their point of view, though TBH when lesser companies can let you download a game/content despite it being remove, as many times as you want, I don't get how a bigger company like Konami would seem affected by this.

I wonder if I will I be cursing all those 100's of times I saw Two Worlds 1 and 2 on a 85% off sale and decided against snagging them up due to stupid activation limited DRM?

I don't know, it worked out alright for Patrick Swayze, how's your pottery skills? In the film Ghost of course, not rifting on that now he's dead he gets all the ladies.

I see; a shame. As my post above shows, they had the ideas, but never the execution. Hopefully they all find work where they can implement their ideas well.

I'll have to play 2W2 one day... assuming I can remember the details to my Reality Pump account. (An aside, but small companies with garbage like DRM accounts is the worst.)

It looked like it had potential but the state in which they released it and how long it took them to develop it I'm not surprised. Still sucks.

In other news, that bundlestars killer bundle is great. I only got to play a little of Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey before the wife took over. She played it quite a bit last night and really enjoyed herself. I always like it when my wife and I both can agree on a game. I'm also looking forward to trying out Super Motherload in co op mode with the family.

Is Steam the only place to get a Steam version of The Witcher 3? I really want to get it on GMG since it's cheaper and I have $15 of credit but it looks like every online retailer other than on Steam gives only a GOG key. Will the Steam version have Steam achievements, and will I be able to activate the Steam version on GOG as well?

So apparently GMG is now shady reseller too? :D

A representative for CD Projekt Red tells GameSpot that Green Man Gaming's Witcher 3 codes are coming from an "unknown source." As such, none of the revenue from Green Man Gaming's current Witcher 3 promotion will go to GOG.com or CD Projekt Red. If you'd like to buy The Witcher 3 directly from CD Projekt Red, head to the game's GOG.com page here.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Achievements is a good question. I would have thought they'd be listed on the Store page by now, I've never really paid attention to whether or not unreleased games mention achievements. I'd assume it was Steamworks and has cheezmos since TW2 does.

I'd also guess GOG might do dual activations around when TW3 goes "enhanced." But maybe they won't be going that route this time, what with a season pass and all?

So I know the AssCreed hatred in strong in here today but has anyone played the Helix Rifts in Unity? I get they were going for the old glitch in the matrix aesthetic but the effects they went for sure looks like GPU artifacting to me. Well I don't smell burning so I guess all is good.

I'm only missing one so I'm passing. At least it looks like they're keeping the price stable. I'm really glad that they've stopped doing that always rising price recently.

Edit: Never mind, the price is just rising slowly because no one is buying. Stupid IndieRoyale.

Has anyone ever canceled and refunded a pre-order from Nuveem? And if so, about how long did it take?

My buddy didn't want a copy of Arkham Knight so I'm trying to cancel my Nuveem pre-order.

Is Tera any good? I have little interest in MMORPGs but I've been tempted by the likes of FFXIV and now Tera. The action combat system sounds cool.

What's the hook in the Free to play?

I've got a potentially dumb question about the GMG Witcher 3 stuff.

The Gamespot article says that GOG/CDP get no money from the sale of these codes. However, if the codes exist then doesn't that mean there had to be a transaction at some point for these codes to exist, meaning that they'd have their slice of the pie?

I mean, it wasn't bad but it didn't really do much for me. I've never been a huge DC fan so the Batman appeal isn't really there. For me, the combat got pretty repetitive very quickly and even unlocking new weapons and such didn't really do anything for me.

The game was also pretty light on the Metroid-vania elements which is one of the things I was initially drawn to.

Obviously the game and the series gets lots of praise, but if Asylum is indeed the best one like a lot of people say, then I'm not too eager to play City/Origins/Knight.

Oh, good, so it's not just me. I just finished a playthrough of the game fairly recently, and it was just kind of "bleh". Sure, hearing Mark Hamil as the Joker again brought back all sorts of flashbacks from hearing him in the animated series back in the 90s, but I found the game itself to be rather bland. I completely agree on the combat. It started out kind of neat, but just felt stiff and ended up taking WAY too long, especially later on.
