Does Dragon Age have any crazy DRM or GFWL or anything else?

yeah the 11pm flash deal is typically 12 hours so nothing ends between 3am and 11am eastern
Only Bioware game that has controller support is Jade Empire.

About Game of Thrones, I like Song of Fire and Ice, but I'm not sure about the game. Is it worth it right now or it's better to save it for Christmas?
Yeah, I agree for the most part. There would be no harm in offering the option, but I've played Dragon Age on both a console and PC and the difference is staggering. The controls and interface are basically crippled by playing with a pad.
The Fade isn't so bad if you disable post-processing, which removes that awful, headache inducing vasoline filter.
It's just what I'm used to since I played it on the Xbox. I'll still get it though.

So Max Payne 3 is pissing me off.
Played until Chapter 6 yesterday and quit to get lunch. Came back to see that the game didn't save my progress at all. I played again until chapter 4, but the same thing happened. So I got pissed and decided to use someone elses save game instead.
Way to fuck up on the simplest things Rockstar.
Then there's the problem with cutscenes which just can't be skipped and can be long as hell. But worse... is the fact that the game switches your choice of weapon back to the handgun every time before a cutscene. This is just idiotic, moreso when you're dealing with snipers and your handgun of choice is the sawed off shotgun.
Game runs great, but what the hell Rockstar? It's like using the highest spec phone ever, but with Symbian as its OS. Anyone else had these problems?

I guess nobody told you about the mod that removes the Fade from the game?

Just played a bit of QUBE. Pretty fun, so far. It's like Portal without any of the personality.
In other words, just a clever, good-looking 3D puzzle/platformer.

Try to Login once on xbox.com, you might have to agree to some new TOS there before you can login through the client.

Yeah, this is true. This game was built around keyboard and mouse first without any compromises. The interface, controls and camera are completely different from the console versions. It makes a significant difference in how you play the game.

Yup. Wanting controller support for something like Origins is like wanting Kinect only support for a game. Doesn't make sense.
I can understand if you wanted to play on your couch...but still, its a game designed to be played with a mouse/keyboard. It works best that way.
Definitely no GFWL. As I recall the redemption system for the DLC is kind of wonky, but Origins at least doesn't have any super draconian DRM on it.
very interesting. I love that game but I hate the fade also. I don't have it on steam yet but might pick it up now if I can find that mod
Gimme a minute here while I wait for something to upload
Go on YouTube and watch some gameplay videos. Always gets me.
Typing in "PC Maxed" at the end of the game's name helps too.

lol that is awesome. I've only been PC gaming for like 2 years so I'm just getting up on the modding community. I may look into that.
Try Civ5. Might be on sale again.

I think the game is excellent, a step back in the right direction for Bioware mechanically. Unfortunately, they failed to build on the potential with the sequel and may have possibly destroyed the franchise. Origins is still good, though.
Dragon Age Origins for that price is a must buy. I liked a lot of the characters and the dialogue and banter is good fun. The UI and battle system is really suited for PC, lots of control on the battlefield and can be real intense fights especially on higher difficulties. It was my first real WRPG and I loved it. Played it like crazy and the expansion is a good 12-20 hour adventure with some cool characters before the sequel ruined one of them.
did that, not the case
found a guy on the steam forums with my exact same issue so at least im not alone

Does anyone know if Ys: The Oath in Felghana is going to end up being discounted more than the current $5 it's at? I'll pick it up regardless though. Interested in Origins though, which would be far more tempting at Oath's price.
Uhhhh......
What?
No one knows. It's best to just wait until the 22nd and if it doesn't hit by then I'd be willing to bet it's safe to buy depending on how the flash/community deals are set up that day too.
I just don't understand why you bought it for 360 if you don't own one
Then you are obviously in the wrong thread. We buy games and don't play them.

Really good game, but only if you're familiar with this kind of games. Civ 5 is a more better offer IMO

I don't think I understand the point of patching LA Noire to be 60fps, the facial animation data was sampled at 30fps. I highly doubt this patch is interpolating that keyframe data, and if it is it's potentially ruining the performance.

Does DAO and any of the DLC use EA's Origin?

The analogy would be more accurate if you had a person who didn't own a PC or Mac and just bought games through the Steam app.
I'm sure that someone is out there.
Yes. If you've played the free version, you haven't given the real game a chance.
I've put more time into Minecraft than any other game I've ever played.
I know it's a late reply, I'm going over the responses I missed.
Also, I broke down and bought a game. The Binding of Isaac actually, but I don't plan on buying anything else. I swear I won't haha.

It shouldn't, unless somethings changed since I last played it.
YES!
