Title: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Azazel on September 16, 2008, 04:03:58 AM Anyone know anything about this?
And what about the Steam version? Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Big Gulp on September 16, 2008, 05:13:11 PM Anyone know anything about this? And what about the Steam version? I know it's made by Crytek, and so by definition is a big hunk of mediocrity wrapped in a layer of pretty. Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Azazel on September 16, 2008, 11:41:06 PM I didn't play Crysis (yet) but I thought Far Cry was a really good FPS. I liked the pretty, and the sandbox elements were also very nicely done. A nice change from FPS-rails.

Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: rattran on September 17, 2008, 11:08:26 AM Crysis looks pretty, but I found it fairly uninspired. Got bored and put it aside after a couple hours.
If you just want a game where you can headshot/blow up North Koreans, get Mercenaries for the Xbox. Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: NiX on September 17, 2008, 12:03:56 PM I didn't even last a couple hours. I put it away after 20 minutes and 15 of that was spent trying to get it to run at a reasonable framerate.
Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Azazel on September 17, 2008, 01:52:57 PM yeah, I've got Mercs on Xbox.
Crysis:Warhead though is at a price-point that impulse-buying works for me. I'd snap it up right away via steam if it's not infetcted with some form of bullshit on there. Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: schild on September 18, 2008, 02:29:57 AM EA is publishing it and the guy who made it bitched and moaned about piracy after selling a million copies. To think this wouldn't have some kind of DRM would be backwards logic. I'd expect the unholy union of Starforce and SecuROM.
Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Azazel on September 18, 2008, 03:21:57 AM Well I expect it, to be sure.
I'm wondering how fucked it's going to be, and if Steam's version will share the fuckheadedness. Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Azazel on September 19, 2008, 08:27:56 AM Yep. Five activations, including Steam.
In other news, Bioshock had it's activation limite removed a few months ago. http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18452 If I knew this, and knew BS was on sale on Steam the other week for $15 I'd have definately purchased it... Title: Re: Crysis: Warhead. EA. DRM? Post by: Vehementi on September 23, 2008, 03:59:13 PM Yup, impulse bought off steam, downloaded and installed, then had to reboot my machine because I apparently had run Process Explorer since last boot!
