Mass effect 2 is great, get that.

tried just pressing enter (i.e blank password)?

Since its past launch why not just patch securom out? It was there to verify release date, its since patched, the game has been cracked on the net since the week before launch.

Go to control panel
Pull up "System"
Select "advanced system settings"
Bottom category of "startup and recovery" Select settings
Untick the box next to automatically reboot
Trigger the BSOD, it...

Why should people be forced to swap platforms to play a WORKING game? It isn't too much to ask that a game is playable and free of crazy restrictions... oh wait its 2k...

This, the mouse controls are all over the place, some of the textures look piss poor, FOV means i cant play for more than 30 mins at a time, thats assuming it runs for more than 30mins without gfwl...

I had this issue on steam yesterday twice (or something very similar), tried verifying cache that didnt work so i backed it up deleted and restored and that eventually got it going until GFWL wet...

You out right lied.

Not only is GFWL telling me this key will be perma tied to my profile, there was all this securom farce which jammed up steam and launching the game, what a bloody farce.

If...

You can't patch out GFWL, there MIGHT be cracks or unofficial "tweaks" to remove it but officially? not a chance in hell. 15 activation restriction ahoy.

Thats fairly true, if you have a good machine you don't notice it but if you disable it you notice the boost.


this is partially true, sometimes it suicides and messes itself so you need to...

Now now, I know many a friend who has a steam account but travels alot and they have a netbook/laptop and they put steam in offline mode before they go, that doesn't exist for GFWL.

Some people...

Look at the backlash that happened with steam and MW2, D2D, gamersgate, and everyone BAWWW'd over it. GFWL getting in to the same game means they SHOULD freeze out GFWL games too, given how GFWL AND...

But thats a local offline account, they don't earn achievements, they don't get to play online, they are paying full retail for a half (maybe more maybe less, if bio 2 followed recent trends 60%...

Probably not, i believe its in the GFWL standards NOT to, matchmaking will probably be in paired with P2P connections, case in point: GTA 4, RF:G.

You are also likely going to see NO text chat,...

Any game store or direct from microsoft, you buy "xbox live" points or "zune" points or "microsoft" points if you buy online direct from microsoft.

From past experience with GFWL games he would be stuck if he has no net. GFWL ties your saves to your gamertag, so if he logged in to GFWL as "that_splicer_guy" during the week, played, saved then at...

So what? that license practically says as along as you own it you can play it, these days you add DRM and that license can be revoked at any point, you are paying FULL RETAIL for a rental.

If you...

Yes but it still had them eventually. Its the point i was (poorly) trying to make, GFWL is more robust system than securom was, with online needed for profiles, saving, etc, why can't it just have...

This.

Bioshock 1 has unlimited activations, why can't GFWL?

My friend dealt with microsoft support for GFWL games in the past and they had no clue what the hell was going on when he asked for...

If this is a mistake then fine I could live with GFWL as long as it isn't too much of an issue. However securom I won't stand for.

I know its probably a bit early to ask (or maybe not since DLC is...

How a company can say it has learnt from bioshock and borderlands fiascos and then do this is beyond me, unless the lesson wasn't in customer support/care it was about pissing them off. In which case...

Steam related:

Someone informed me that the steam requirements DO say securom along with gfwl.

-So we have Steam the overarching DRM, we're all happy with that.
-Then we have GFWL,...

So bioshock 2 appeared on steam, great news.

But what about 3rd party DRM? I spot GFWL but is that it?

I'm just checking for confirmation.

Edit: nevermind i just noticed securom just abit...

Well, mad moxxi makes a stealth release on steam and YET AGAIN packs securom 5 activation.

I NEARLY bought it because when i viewed the steam store it didn't say it had activations, a friend...

Of course the fundamental flaw here is it is highly likely your friend, brother, cousin probably wouldn't buy or even play the game if it where not you introducing it to them. Thats what i've found...
