I'm always happy to see games get patched and more playable.

The copy you get from their website is DRM free for those interested.

I'll keep my eye out for the GOG version. Thanks for the heads up. The developer responded to my emails kindly which I value a lot.

Quoting: ShmerlWhy is it not on GOG?

I would love to see more AAA games on GOG. Sadly when you have publishers who can actually call their Steam game that has third party DRM on top of Steam DRM Free I think their answer to you would be "What's the point, it is DRM free already".

I had an interesting email conversation with Topware about Raven's Cry. I asked them if they were planning on a DRM free release and their response was that the Steam version was DRM free. Even if I don't count Steam as DRM, which I do, it lists on the Steam page that Raven's Cry "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Reality Pump DLM V2". I asked them if their game was DRM free why the Steam page said that and haven't received a response since.

As for the bugginess I have no idea how people are willing to lay down $55-60 on any game on launch day let alone the first few months. Must have more money to burn than me or just more optimism.

I loved the atmosphere and story in Outlast. I didn't like how stealth was forced through lack of combat though. If my character can see a pipe on the ground but can't pick it up to defend himself that;s a flaw in my opinion. Regardless I do plan to finish it, I'll just wait for the Linux version to do so.

My favorite thriller story was probably Condemned: Criminal Origins. Really did a good job and I wish the sequel had of made it to PC.

I would have to say the scariest moments in gaming for me would either be playing Doom or playing Jurassic Park when I was six. Both games just made me so tense. Doom because from room to room, you could hear the monsters that were up ahead and Jurassic Park because when you entered a building it went into first person view which made everything more scary when dinosaurs are hunting you.

Of more recent games I would say Outlast was quite scary but it also had no combat so that was a little more cheap about it.

Quoting: Lapinopl

QuoteBorderlands 2 still has abysmal performance on my rig.
Phenom II + Radeon HD 7950.
Runs perfectly smooth on Win7, though (same machine)

HD 7950

Here's your problem... I don't think it's even officially supported by aspyr (AMD that is)

That is some sloppy work if they don't support AMD video cards. I would say his Phenom II may have more to do with it. Does he mean a Phenom II dual core or a Phenom II quad core ? Big difference.

I read a lot of "it's a new game, a AAA game, so it's to be expected". Anyone else find that sad ? That these days it's become commonplace that a game has such easy to spot bugs at launch. That it doesn't run smooth on a $400 graphics card unless you go to 720P. I was running games on 720P back in 2004.

Thanks for the preview of Dying Light, it makes me feel justified in sticking by my purchasing rules.

They have a DRM free version on Desura but sadly only the Windows and Mac versions are on there at this point.
