The Battle resumes... On the other side of the island

rofl, the next one will be UNDER THE ISLAND!

[Captain]

Actually that was the first one...rofl u

[Silicone_Milk]

Looks rentable.... at best.

[Geebs]

I've played through it, it's pretty damn good. Kind of the big dumb shooter that Halo 3 should have been. Plus, it's incredibly pretty and the claims about the optimization are suprisingly truthful. Worth the asking price.

[Captain]

It's awesome. Gone are the alien caves and long, lonely walks across the island. New vehicles, new weapons, new gameplay elements, and a better story give Warhead the advantage.

[seremtan]

i heard it comes with major securom DRM bullshit, and more fucking aliens

two reasons not sure if want

[Captain]

The Securom hasn't caused any problems for me and the aliens are fun to fight because you get tons of Scar and Gauss Rifle ammo throughout the game. Minigun's gone though.

[Mat Linnett]

Yup, same DRM as Spore, which is why I didn't buy it.

[Geebs]

I haven't run into problems with SecuRom so far; a lot of the class action stuff over spore is hideously inflated. If you've installed the original Crysis, you've already got it anyway.

I suppose the limitation on number of installs is less relevant for Crysis as nobody has three machines capable of running it

[Mat Linnett]

The original Crysis doesn't come with a 3 install limit after which you have to phone EA on a phoneline they make money off of to release an activation.
Also, Crysis by its very nature dictates upgrades, and if you upgrade your hardware, you have to activate the game again. In a year or two, your game is useless unless you phone EA for an activation release.
I think the class action suit is the least that EA deserve.

[Pooinyourmouth]

If you buy it through steam you don't get that DRM bullshit thrown into your machine.

Wow, that is goddamn retarded.

[Mat Linnett]

Corrcection poo, you actually do in a double-retardation move. Click here for a summary.

Yes, that's right: EA have included DRM in a Steam version of the game, where Steam should be DRM enough.

[GONNAFISTYA]

I've only played the first half hour or so. Seems alright since I liked the combat in Crysis anyways.

[Captain]

*COUGHtorrentCOUGH*

[brisk]

yep, with all this drm bullshit, it's no wonder people are resorting to using pirated software to effectively "fix" their game.

[Plan B]

Anyone else playing this?

I don't know...it performs better than crysis, but that's just because the texture/veg/object detail popup is horrible.
When I hack it with a config to alleviate this, it actually performs *worse*; pauses when I go to iron sight etc.

On the plus side: no alien bullshit (yet), just nice korean killing goodness.

[scared?]

this game is at this very moment being deleted off my drive...worst game ever...
