Today's Video Games
 

What in the fuck is with all of the (PC) video games of the past year or two?!!?

You have to sign up for an account for their Rockstar social club, then sign up for Windows Live, then confirm this, download that. Steam autoloader and all this other bullshit that takes up a fucking hour to get through just to play some goddamn video game.

:angrysoap :boid :feels-hot :censored :ak47: :BangBang:

crack them :D lool

I was gonna say,... I am sure all of this added inconvenience is a mix of....

* Social Networking
* Data Mining
* Fighting Piracy
* Attempted Retention

:disgust

Companies would always like to collect more information about customers.

well the only thing these games become so addictive is that you get all your friends playing at the same time, family communicating etc.. basically the same thing as fb only in game.. kind the same thing like in adult adopt or die.. they need to sell their products..
BTW anything can be cracked! :)

Steam is an incredible product. Especially if you live in a remote country and don't want to wait weeks before getting new releases.

It's the added games for windows live bullshit that is useless. (and will probably be aquitted from most PC games from now on).

Oh yeah. Windows Live is a fucking nightmare.
:disgust

Quick fix. Console.

Except in the case of this piece of shit Fallout New Vegas game on the PS3. Dam thing keeps freezing up. What a buggy piece of shit!

If my save games get corrupted like everyone has been talking about I am going to use it as a coaster.

they'll prolly patch it up with an update

:2 cents:

PC = porn & work
console = video games

simple :thumbsup

I miss the good ol' days when you'd have a friend over and play a console game, then once your friend leaves, proceed with playing console/computer games by yourself. I would literally rather play against video game/computer AI than 99% of people out there.

I highlighted your problem for ya. Hope that helps. :thumbsup

Console sucks for games that matter, such as FPS / RTS / MMOs..

Maybe if you learned how to use a controller, you wouldn't such at console FPS. :2 cents:

Agreed.

Infact while I seriously tried to get into consoles like the ps3 and xbox360, after 6 months I was still getting sore hands and getting frustrated with the awful controls. PC gaming is a godsend .. it just makes sense. Sold my consoles a year ago ... hated them.

Amen :thumbsup

I can agree with you on RTS, but consoles are just fine on FPS, and MMOs don't matter.

Never liked gaming on a PC, only strategy games are good on PC, and maybe I'd play some 2D scrollers if they ever come to exist again. As far as anything else, console me plz. I love my 360, though I will say Live has been a cunt lately for the L4D2 servers. Hard to stay connected long enough to play a couple rounds of scavenge anymore..

Barefootsies, what game is that?

PC games are all shit.

they want to protect them self and they always get cracked, so i dont know why they do it on such hard way, maybe just because cracks are with risk of fucking viruses so people dont wont to catch that or who knows

Fuck, for once I agree with you. It's BS,

big brothers are watching you

Agreed, if you can get used to the controllers while playing any FPS games...

Well said fine sire.
:thumbsup:thumbsup

Grand Theft Auto was one. Mafia II the other.
:BangBang: :ak47:

Yeah I see you're back on, I was gonna join into a game with you, but last time I played L4D I sucked so bad from playing COD all the time, that I just got pissed and spent most of my time shooting my own teammates and screaming profanities at the children whooping my ass. :Oh crap:mad::321GFY

Fuck it don't worry, EVERYBODY on the server sucks these days. I haven't played in months and I still run laps around pretty much everyone on there. It's disappointing really. Finding a good game of Scavenge or Versus where both teams are good and the game is good, is next to impossible anymore. Then you have to deal with the fact that if you do happen to find yourself in a good game, that the servers are probably gonna turf you all fromt he game. Major connectivity issues lately. You'll be fine for an or two here and there, then suddenly you can't keep a game live for more than 5 minutes. You might as well walk away and try again later. It's frustrating.

Very true (and pathetic)

Some games are so fucking horrible... like Assassins Creed 2... bullshit cutscenes....

Unlike masterpieces like Half-Life 2 (and 1)

Half Life 2 is like being in a movie... it's incredible, perfect combination of FPS action and incredible cutscenes...

I have an xbox 360 too. Just happened to buy this one for the PS3 for a change. If you search, it's a nasty problem for all versions, not just PS3. It was fine until I did one certain quest, then it went to hell. Seems better now though since I went back to an older save. Lost about 3 hours of progress though. :mad:

Ah, I may jump into some games with ya sometime soon, I'm really not digging COD: Black Ops much. :Oh crap

The Passing & The Sacrifice DLCs are pretty sweet. Some new scavenge maps are good. Rooftop has been pretty fun so far.
