shakey Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Look, I know i'll never change your mind. They are losing money buy someone not buying the game new. Sure they made money the first time the game was sold. But they lose potential money by someone buying it second hand instead of brand new. I never said anyone should throw games in the trash. I just said that I don't see the issue with charging people a fee to play online. What's so wrong with that? Obviously it's working or else there would be huge backlash over it. I know plenty of people peeved at EA for this on Hot Pursuit and another game that slips my mind atm... But 10 bucks is just way to much. I could understand 5 or less, but 1/6th of the game price is a little hefty. Maybe the game companies should set up a program with the used game stores that enables them to get some profit from the sales, instead of sticking it to the customer....

We get it, you both think you're right and the other wrong. Let's just talk about the game huh? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 You two please stop. We get it, you both think you're right and the other wrong. Let's just talk about the game huh? ;) Thank you :p So what does everyone think that have played it? I am on Act 3 out of the 7 and I have been playing for almost 3 hours on normal and have only died twice. There is something pretty cool that you get to control at the end of the second act into the third. My only grip is the texture resolution on the characters, the environments look amazing though same with the sound design. I have not tried the multiplayer though. As for the online pass, I understand why the companies want the $10 because they are not making anything on the game being bought used or rented. GameStop makes a pretty good profit on selling used games or they would not be in business, they give you 20-25 bucks for Black Ops and they turn around and sell it for $45 used making around a $25 dollar profit and the game companies make nothing on that. So again I think the $10 fee is resonable and if you don't agree buy the game new or do buy it at all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am going to avoid the PS3 for a while as far as multiplayer goes with all of the hacking going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't turn it off or anything? Is it a direct console (as in, there is no PC end polishing) to PC port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I guess we just need to face the facts, there is more money to make on the consoles and that's why PC gamers get crappy ports. I used to be pretty hardcore in PC gaming but my 360 consumes most of my time because I can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars each year to keep up with the evolving technology and game engines. Buying a console pretty much keeps you current for at least the next 5 years from launch, mind you the PC will always have better graphics but it's not a huge deal breaker for more because most of the time its just increased texture resolution or screen resolution. That's just my opinion. Sorry the the PC port sucks, to bad there was not a demo for you guys to try first. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Tried the demo on the PS3, fun game but I am not a console FPS guy and my computer cant play the game. I will wait until I build a new computer (the price should be down then) to get it. Hell after reading the reviews here for the PC version I might get the console one then unless I try the PC demo. Damn Epic games and People Can Fly give the PC some love, dont forget the FPS roots. * I think its funny people get 25,000 experience points just for getting the "Epic Edition" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceelf Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 PC version is great on my end. It might still be dx9, but I'm not having any problems. I do still need to defrag and there was a day one patch...but it rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just installed the PC version from DVD (yes I actually purchased a hard copy LOL), and I will not be able to check it out until a bit later on tonight, but if I can get the patch now I would like to do that.

spaceelf Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 GFWL is the only way to get it I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted February 23, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2011 GFWL is the only way to get it I'm aware of. Yep, thanks, I just got it. Believe it or not this is the first game I have used GFWL, well online at least, so did not realize the update came through GFWL. Installed already, although now for the life of me I have no clue were to put in my Limited Edition code? The card in the case says click on Limited Edition screen, which I have not seen anywhere.

Sikh Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I played for like an hour or hour and half and am at Act 2 Chapter 3 with 1 death on Normal. Game is Phenomenal. First game in a long time to keep my attention when playing single player. I usually dont play single player of games, but this game is beautiful. I bought it for 360 because this feels so much better on 360 and since the PC did not get a demo / a ****ty response (refering to the "pc gamers are being whinny babies because they didnt get a demo") from epic was bs. Also if I really need to try it on my PC, ill find a way, but im quite happy with it on my Xbox. Plan to play more tonight! Gamerscore hasnt seen an increase for over a year now lol.

I've seen that with other GFWL games, they say something and require something else entirely. I assume as Razorwing said you use the GFWL Redeem Code option.

I checked it out super quick and did not see anything as that was my first instinct as well, so it is probably there and I just did not see it. Gonna check it out soon, so I am sure I will figure it out. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The first time you try and login to gfwl in game it will immediately prompt you for your code. I had trouble with this, I kept trying to enter my "limited edition" code and it failed, then realized there was another code on the instruction book in the case and that one worked. the limited edition comes with two codes in the case. Enter the limited edition code when the game prompts you during install, and the normal code when gfwl asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceelf Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I didn't see a limited edition prompt during install. Just the normal cd key. Redeem code worked, at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeem code worked, at any rate. lol well I put the limited edition code in that prompt and it worked (its the first key that you see in the case so I assume thats what they expect people to enter) took me many failed attempts at putting the key into gfwl to realize there was even another key.
