for what its worth I rarely do much of the new game+ content. its too much grinding for me on consoles put i did all of it for disgaea 1 & 2 on my psp. if d2 comes to the vita I'll most likely end up doing a lot of the ng+ content on that as well. reason I haven't done it on the D3 port is cause I really don't want to have to beat the story mode again.

yeah disgaea actually sounds like the perfect game for a portable

unfortunately despite how appealing gravity rush is to me, i have none such thing

I would have a lot more respect and trust for the company if they added a sentence to the end like "As such, we then completely removed the DRM on day 47."
Click to expand...
yup

piracy prevention is money down the drain

but hey if you're gonna punish your players, might as well remove the damn thing when it's become obsolete

Okay, so let me get this right:

1) Ubisoft games are apparently leaving Steam
2) GTA V will have DRM on it, not quite sure what it does yet
3) That this same DRM could keep cropping up seeing as there are a list of publishers on that Dunovo website
4) And that Just Cause 3 is laden with microtransactions

That is a hell of a bad day of news there =/
Why does it feel like 2008 again all of a sudden?

So Watch_Dogs and Trials Fusion just made community stats visible. That can sometimes mean that achievements are on the way. Maybe it's lined up with the new Uplay / Steam account linking? I honestly don't know what's happening.

I did wonder if FC4 was going to go this route when they added various achievement languages a few months back. I figured it was nothing at the time.

----- edit: to be fair, Black Flag has always had community stats visible. Nothing has come of that.

It couldn't be a Rockstar game without some shitty DRM, first GFWL, then Social Club, now this, if they can get the performance issues sorted out then it's fine by me, but for some reason I really doubt they will.

because publishers never learn and should legit go fuck themselves :/

it's not fair for the other publishers that only ea wins that shittiest company in america award

Someone from Ubisoft just messing around randomly? Accidently doing this and removal of upcoming games.

I'm sure it was mentioned in this thread before that SteamDb showed that there was a Lords of the Fallen Season Pass sub, so expect more stuff coming.

My game still crashed in the loot rift thingies last time I checked. I hope they are also working on a new patch, because announcing DLC when a lot of people have stability issues isn't a good way to earn customers.

I thought it was Namco? Which isn't small per se, but still I dunno, for whatever reason I didn't expect DLC for it. Then again even that Game of Thrones rpg game got DLC so

I guess they really are that confident in their new DRM if they put it in on a game like GTA V.
I mean, that's really painting a target at yourself.

It's a smaller European dev/publisher, how is it not unexpected? Do you expect DLC for Styx?
Click to expand...

i wouldn't be surprised really

everything gets dlc nowadays

also lords of the fallen is a fairly high profile game with good production values so i'd be surprised if there wasn't any dlc for it

Okay, so you guys let me down when I was trying to hype up Unrest, but that's okay.
You can redeem yourselves by helping me hype up Late to the Party.

You know, I sort of want to hype it up long after it releases, just to have a thread titled "LTTP: LTTP," if only to screw with people thinking that it'll be a thread about Link to the Past.

Uh oh.

GTA V apparently using additional DRM on top of Steam's:

^ how do you mean? Oh I see, quite a few months for the non-new ones.

I use xe.com for currency conversion, helps with all these regions.

It was Rs.1,799.00
so

1,799.00 INR = 29.2663 USD

Were the games always in our libraries since we preordered them or did they show up just now?

Almost the second I completed the order through my web browser it showed up in my client. I preordered all three new games today.
Click to expand...

Oh, I already had them preordered for a few weeks now. Never bothered to check the client to see if they were in my library and assumed they wouldn't be until I was charged. The order page still says processing too.

There's a cancel button on my order page and you're not charged until the game releases.

If I go to http://help.ea.com/en/refund/ it says:
You don't have any games that qualify for a refund right now.
Click to expand...

But if I go to the client order history it says processing for the preorders and gives me an option to cancel after clicking the plus sign.

Not the steam keys (the 15-digit ones); If your EA games on Steam have CD keys/activation keys, there's a 99% chance you can redeem those keys on Origin.

yeah i mean the ones you get from "view cd key" or whatever it is when you right click games. Its just, when I download Origin to get Inquisition, I will have... 1 game there, Old Republic. Well 2 with Dragon age. I just want to spruce it up a bit :(

Huh guess i'll get the game on Origin, I can always cancel and switch it later if I change my mind. $30 is hard to beat. Can you buy the gold edition on Origin? or the Season Pass?
