Dead Space 2 Fails

[comadorcrack]

Ug. That sucks man. Don't worry It'll work eventually, its just fuck tards in EA trying to stop something its got no power over. Try not to let it ruin the game for you when it does play

Hey OP DS2 doesn't come out in the UK for another 3 days... So dont expect me to have any sympathy for you.

Why not? I would have sympathy for you, if you thought you could go to a store, buy a game and then play it on launch night.

This is about the fact that I made plans to play this at this time. If dead space 2 didnt come out in the US for another few days and it came out in the UK before us, great. I would be sleeping right now, and you would be the one posting about the problem.

Also I would have been fine if there was some side note in the adds, "Wont be playable until X time GMT" or something.

My bad that was my general apathy posting... And don't presume what i would post about also this is where my choice to be console gamer starts to look like a good one XD

I shall leave you to your rage OP

Can Has Rage Burger?!!!11111

But yeah, Iv herd there were issues with the ps3 version as well. Although not quite as wide spread.

Making this thread wont change anything. But yes thats shit

 

[Jaqen Hghar]

When I stand in line to get a game they don't open the doors until it's midnight. Even though it's been midnight in other provinces for hours.

No different. This isn't DRM, this is the publisher deciding that X is the zero hour timezone, and everything adheres to that.

Typical. This man says how it is, and everyone ignores him. Read that one more time please.

Never had such an urge to play a new game that this would annoy me much. Always something else to do if plans don't work out.

NAO MY DECISION TO BUY A 360 LOOKS BULLETPROOF!1!1!1!

 

[Blind Sight]

Well, that sucks, but to be honest I don't really find it that big of a deal. I don't know, there's been a couple things going on in my life lately that have made me realize that the little things aren't something you should stress over. Sure, it's annoying and silly, but at least you've got your health. And now I suddenly sound like my grandfather.

This seems fitting:

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Wow, that does suck. But don't take it out the developers. Blame EA for bullshit like this.

The developers are owned by EA .

 

[Brad Shepard]

No use complaining about it, they wont change, and besides, its midnight now over there, so go play.

Spoiler: That sounds like a giant pile of

What were you expecting my response to be?

[markisb]

Do you really need to play it right now? Can't you like, go do something else? It isn't the end of the world if you can't play Dead Space 2 for 1-24 hours.

You're right, he doesn't deserve the right to use something he's paid for until an abritrary time set by someone else. How ridiculous.

You dont buy the game u buy a licence to use the software(play the game). or thats how i understand it any way.

OT: i personaly dont see anything wrong with having to wait a couple hours to play a game.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Whats occuring right now is the game is installing and launching, but EA's install authenticator (a peice of DRM layered ONTOP of steam) is not accepting CD Key's.

Wait another 5 hours (11 am est, when other July 25th games become accessable) then get worried.

I've already submitted support tickets to EA and Steam.

 

[SovietSecrets]

You couldn't wait 16 minutes?

 

[Sentox6]

On a related note, a friend got the game yesterday as well, cracked it and played it.

Anyone defending this as "the way it is" or stating "it's not a big deal" needs to refer to this post.

Once again, the customer who's doing things the entirely 'legitimate' way gets a worse experience.

Something is seriously, seriously wrong here.

 

[Jandau]

And to think some people are suprised that I crack all of my legally bought software...

patience is a virtue

 

[acosn]

So stop buying EA games.


Blizzard certainly noticed when they announced the Realid stuff and saw their sales figures tank almost 25% the week of, and after.


If you bemoan a company for protecting it's own IPs and products with intrusive methods and then turn around and buy them they're going to keep doing it because you're telling them that as much as you hate it, you don't hate it enough to stop buying their products.

 

[The Lost Big Boss]

Well, if you got it before midnight then the game wasn't really out yet, so why would the servers be online or give any one the right to play a game that wasn't out yet?

 

[EGtodd09]

It's DRM dude. What did you expect? Rationality?

No, but its still yet another sign that game companies haven't figured out how to do DRM right.

Codemasters had a good one for V8 Supercars Australia 3 (or "Race Driver 3"), no-one cracked it and it wasn't shit, only problem was its not compatible with Vista/7

NAO MY DECISION TO BUY A 360 LOOKS BULLETPROOF!1!1!1!

When COD:MW2 was released on the 360 a lot of people who preordered from play.com were banned from xbox live as pirates for trying the play the game a day or so early.

NAO YOUR DECISION TO PLAY GAMES LOOKS JUST AS RETARDED AS THE REST OF US!1!1!1!
