What do you mean by "checks and balances"? lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 11/05/2011 04:41:01 PM
I have never had a problem with Steam. The whole platform is a form of DRM, but it's DRM that also adds value to the games, it's not intrusive and hasn't caused me any problems, and the prices they offer tend to be great.

Whether or not that's enough of an incentive to skip physical media is up to the individual, of course.

Disappointed with Dragon Age 2? Looking for an expansive AAA PC fantasy RPG? Come one, come all! lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 04:51:59 AM 1306 Views
With this, Skyrim, DA2, ME2, Kingdoms of Amalur, and Deus Ex, we've got a stellar RPG year. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 04:57:24 AM 448 Views
Also, you should all still play Dwarf Fortress. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 05:06:39 AM 401 Views
I'll assume Deus Ex was intentionally put twice. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 11/05/2011 05:40:38 AM 508 Views
Nope! Fixed. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 06:33:48 AM 426 Views
The Witcher is all right. The story is fun, but the gameplay could use some work. Ghavrel - 11/05/2011 05:49:52 AM 866 Views
Everything I read says that the combat was revamped. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 06:35:53 AM 813 Views
Discount, get free shit right now from GOG.com Jragghen - 11/05/2011 06:03:03 AM 898 Views
Done and done. Bought both Witchers from GOG for a total of $50. About time I signed up there. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 03:22:15 PM 826 Views
Wait, really? Aemon - 12/05/2011 07:41:29 AM 832 Views
Yeah, they've been doing a lot of cool shit with it. Jragghen - 12/05/2011 07:49:10 AM 833 Views
Yeah, the first one was pretty great. Panorphaeon - 11/05/2011 06:08:59 AM 934 Views
I know, I keep seeing all these new RPGs come out and I want to try them... LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 06:40:35 AM 782 Views
Keep an eye out for steam sales. You'd be surprised what you can snag. Ghavrel - 11/05/2011 07:32:34 AM 943 Views
I've honestly been trying to avoid Steam :/ LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 02:09:53 PM 819 Views
It's the premier digital platform for PC games, though GOG's offers more "stuff" with their version. Zalis - 11/05/2011 03:56:47 PM 802 Views

I don't have a problem with the DRM-ness of it on its own LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 07:54:15 PM 852 Views
E-reader analogy. Low-blow :p lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 08:35:12 PM 778 Views
it wasn't really meant to be an analogy LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 10:35:58 PM 762 Views
I haven't had any problems with Steam. Gher - 12/05/2011 07:29:46 PM 959 Views
Yeah, for the record, I've never had any problems with Steam beetnemesis - 17/05/2011 04:22:02 PM 854 Views
The Witcher 1 is on GOG for $4.99 for the next week or so, then $9.99 therafter. Michael - 11/05/2011 11:15:14 AM 941 Views
Yah, I was thinking about at least grabbing the first one LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 02:08:37 PM 764 Views
It's been on my radar, but I'm not sure if I'll pre-order. Might not get around to playing asap. *NM* Zalis - 11/05/2011 03:49:22 PM 372 Views
I have the Witcher installed on my computer for a few months, left unplayed Stephen - 11/05/2011 05:09:32 PM 836 Views
Interesting fact: Someone from CD Projekt Red looked at my Linkedin profile today. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 10:08:52 PM 820 Views
or maybe you're on some sort of "watch list" *NM* LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 10:37:11 PM 385 Views
Re: Interesting fact: Someone from CD Projekt Red looked at my Linkedin profile today. Jragghen - 11/05/2011 11:31:37 PM 889 Views
Ah. Either way, it's still unusual. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 12/05/2011 12:28:09 AM 809 Views
So I've moved on to a less ancient game than Baldur's Gate 2 now... Legolas - 16/05/2011 08:01:29 PM 871 Views
Entering the 21st century? Stephen - 16/05/2011 09:49:17 PM 825 Views
I'm in the same boat. I could play those old RPG's forever. *NM* Panorphaeon - 18/05/2011 07:01:38 AM 404 Views
Didn't pre-order. Not enough time to play the game for a bit. Plus, nice weather... *NM* Zalis - 16/05/2011 09:02:22 PM 370 Views
