Ah, I love GameCopyWorld. Really helps with this archaic limitation that seems to still be built into most games that you still need the disc in the drive to play.
Having a similar problem with my retail copy of Deadspace 2. Release Date Check fails to work the second I hit "Accept" if all else fails, think I'll just give the game to my friend who recently built a PC
[QUOTE=LinuX;28222145]Buy games on steam. Problem solved.[/QUOTE] However, steam is useless if you don't have an internet connection. I like to have a choice when I buy a retail game (except when it's a valve game) whether to activate it on steam.
[QUOTE=Asmaedus;28219785]Aw man armake21. He is funny as fuck, haven't seen him for ages though. Every youtube channel he makes gets shut down.[/QUOTE] That's because he, no joke, absolutely lost it. A year or two back he went mental and went on camera bashing like every other reviewer around. It was depressing. Then he made his Action52 review and you can actually tell during that review that he's just out of it.

I remember this. He seriously sounds like he's going to kill someone near the end of it.
Couldn't stop laughing when he started to yell and go crazy :v: I love him :3:
Looks like Cane's upset that the GDI isn't letting him play his games. :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;28219136]Its funny that pirates don't have to deal with this. The irony is that they are pushing people to pirate because of this.[/QUOTE] That's why I've always said Just accept the fact pirates are going to exist. Make good games, stop biting legit customers in the ass and you'll be better off

as funny as this guy is he has a point
[QUOTE=LinuX;28222145]Buy games on steam. Problem solved.[/QUOTE] Several reasons not to. Have to wait for it to download, then if you ever want to remove it from your computer to get more space for another game, and then if you ever wanna come back to it, have to download that shit again. That's just one reason, but it's the best one.
A god damn hero.
DRM has actually stopped me from buying several games I otherwise would have, it's just fucking ridiculous.
[QUOTE=LinuX;28222145]Buy games on steam. Problem solved.[/QUOTE] I bought Crysis Warhead on steam and after a while it told me that I have used up all the installs when trying to launch the story mode version of the game I had to contact EA live support to renew the key, and they did. But it's bullshit if you have to contact EA support after reinstalling steam or your os more than 3 times.

[QUOTE=Hesychasmos;28228708][img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/yecMnB.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] What the hell? Why would they do this? Wasn't "activation limit" bullshit made to prevent things like people renting/lending the game? Adding it to the Steam version would not decrease pirating AT ALL.. and in the meantime stop legit customers from buying it because they don't want that crap. I don't get it

[QUOTE=Fatman55;28239214]So now its against rules to speak out against DRM?[/QUOTE] I'm sure it's more for advocating piracy.

[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/30/Battlefield_2142_box_art.jpg/256px-Battlefield_2142_box_art.jpg[/img] this game has given me the most grief out of all the games I own.

he should have done a follow up video when ubisoft released their permanent internet connection DRM :allears: [editline]23rd February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=high;28244332]Is that 5 limit the one where you have to contact support about or you have to buy the game again?[/QUOTE] you email the publisher and an automated computer resets your install count, yes its a little hassle but people blow it out of proportion. if the limiter is removed then it becomes easier for people to use the legit cd key to pirate the game
Anyone else think he looks a little like Kane from C&C? lol
I just use Steam to buy my PC games. I rarely have a problem.
This guy must be fucking rich, considering that he's got an Alienware PC and a game collection that could rival the Great Wall of China. But yeah, he's got a point. It hasn't gotten bad enough to stop me getting certain games yet though.
