BioShock 2 System Requirements, DRM Revealed

[Vie]

And the last tiny shred of interest in this game has now gone to drool at Mafia II with the rest of me.

 

[kibayasu]

Still going to buy it. Still going to play it. Still going to love it.

And as an added bonus, still not going to have a single problem of any sort related to DRM. Hurray!

 

[Shadeovblack]

I'm getting the Special Edition for the soundtrack record, but I'm still going to torrent it and install that version. (hey... that way I can keep the plastic cover over the diskbox. squee!)

 

[Nazulu]

Great, and I was actually looking forward to this, I hardly look forward to any games coming out and now I have to make sure shit like this doesn't happen.

 

[Raregolddragon]

O bloody hell I only make mimum for more my laptop

looks like I will be getting Bioshock 2 for the xbox.

 

[Callate]

Ah, Microsoft? When you're offering a "service" that most people think of as a "hurdle" to getting to play games they actually want, maybe you're doing something wrong.

 

[Woodsey]

Uh...

Just drop it already - Games for Windows LIVE is the single-most useless piece of shit I've ever used (note that this might be an exaggeration).

Its unclear, tacked on, mysteriously labour-intensive for what it is, and all around shit.

And the last tiny shred of interest in this game has now gone to drool at Mafia II with the rest of me.

I'll grab a bucket so that we can drool in it together.

ah, this is perfect,i got an HP Pavilion for christmas and i just put a 8800 gt (alpha dog version)in it. i just hope that Bioshock 2 dosent have problems with 64 bit Vista like some other games... *cough, cough, L4D2, cough*.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

I'll wait a month stable cracks will be out by then.

Maybe we're all spoiled by Steam, but GfWL seems almost universally hated. Especially annoying are the games bought through Steam that STILL require Live. It gave me a lot of headaches playing Fallout3, GTA4 and Dawn of War2. Really hate the online saving.

It really is not a SERVICE when it mostly works against you. Just give Steam the monopoly on PC game service/DRMing so we can all quit bitching (for a while anyway).

 

[dekkarax]

It's like Take Two purposely has their game on mind to be unlikable.

A sequel that wasn't needed.
Multiplayer that wasn't wanted.
SecuROM that wasn't liked.

Thank god it's coming to my PS3...

But wait PS3 installs as well!

It only copies game files (textures, models etc) to the disk because Blu-rays run slower than normal disks.

You're A-OK.

 

[Buizel91]

was gna get it for console anyway, although can someone explain y secuROM? is bad, never ehard of it before, and i can guess what GWL is...

sorry if i seem like a pleb, just i dont play PC games that much XD...probably for this reason ^^

"Initial installation requires one-time internet connection; ability to save game, earn achievements, receive title updates and online play requires log-in to Games for Windows LIVE; software installations required including Microsoft Visual C++2008 Runtime Libraries, Games for Windows LIVE client, Games for Windows LIVE Client Patch, Sony DADC SecuROM, Microsoft DirectX."

This kind of bullshit is the cancer killing pc gaming, not piracy.

 

[sephiroth1991]

Now i hope Bioshock 2 fails in sales. Those Fucks shouldn't be allwed to do this. This is a real kick in the balls.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Putting DRM in games nowadays is like asking people to pirate it.

 

[Mantonio]

It'll be cracked within the week of it being released. People aren't going to bend over and take this crap.

I'm just glad I'm buying it for 360.

 

[HentMas]

uff... i was about to pre order this in steam yesterday, it seemed as a good deal (they threw bioshock 1 and other stuff too) but now hell if i get it for PC, i`m getting it on a console

 

[Jared]

Now that just sucks...

Well you know Mafia II is a 2K game as well eh? You can (probably) have fun with Securom and Live on that as well. ;(
