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 1380 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 471 Views
Also, you should all still play Dwarf Fortress. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 05:06:39 AM 425 Views
I'll assume Deus Ex was intentionally put twice. *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 11/05/2011 05:40:38 AM 536 Views
Nope! Fixed. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 06:33:48 AM 455 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 920 Views
Everything I read says that the combat was revamped. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 06:35:53 AM 861 Views
Discount, get free shit right now from GOG.com Jragghen - 11/05/2011 06:03:03 AM 958 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 887 Views
Wait, really? Aemon - 12/05/2011 07:41:29 AM 894 Views
Yeah, they've been doing a lot of cool shit with it. Jragghen - 12/05/2011 07:49:10 AM 888 Views
Yeah, the first one was pretty great. Panorphaeon - 11/05/2011 06:08:59 AM 993 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 830 Views
Keep an eye out for steam sales. You'd be surprised what you can snag. Ghavrel - 11/05/2011 07:32:34 AM 996 Views
I've honestly been trying to avoid Steam :/ LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 02:09:53 PM 868 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 859 Views

I don't have a problem with the DRM-ness of it on its own LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 07:54:15 PM 910 Views
E-reader analogy. Low-blow :p lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 08:35:12 PM 828 Views
it wasn't really meant to be an analogy LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 10:35:58 PM 804 Views
I haven't had any problems with Steam. Gher - 12/05/2011 07:29:46 PM 1013 Views
Yeah, for the record, I've never had any problems with Steam beetnemesis - 17/05/2011 04:22:02 PM 908 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 997 Views
Yah, I was thinking about at least grabbing the first one LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 02:08:37 PM 821 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 399 Views
I have the Witcher installed on my computer for a few months, left unplayed Stephen - 11/05/2011 05:09:32 PM 893 Views
Interesting fact: Someone from CD Projekt Red looked at my Linkedin profile today. lord-of-shadow - 11/05/2011 10:08:52 PM 876 Views
or maybe you're on some sort of "watch list" *NM* LadyLorraine - 11/05/2011 10:37:11 PM 408 Views
Re: Interesting fact: Someone from CD Projekt Red looked at my Linkedin profile today. Jragghen - 11/05/2011 11:31:37 PM 944 Views
Ah. Either way, it's still unusual. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 12/05/2011 12:28:09 AM 867 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 929 Views
Entering the 21st century? Stephen - 16/05/2011 09:49:17 PM 878 Views
I'm in the same boat. I could play those old RPG's forever. *NM* Panorphaeon - 18/05/2011 07:01:38 AM 430 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 395 Views
