At the very least the game actually works. Next time I'm pirating it.

Quantum of Solace didn't let me save because I didn't have an account. It would have been nice if it had told me that before I got ~60% through the game.

I really don't understand how the people making DRM software can be so naive as to think that they are actually stopping it even slightly. They MUST know it's only increasing piracy.

People should just give in and stick with steam. At least it fucking works.

Flecco, I'm afraid I have some bad news

Steam has GFWL too. There's no cure, but the symptoms are treatable

Create offline profile?

I agree though. Pain in the ass if you want to play online. The only game I bother to log into that uses GFWL is Street Fighter 4.

Yeah, dumb move in my opinion. GFWL was meant to set it apart from other games I'm guessing, but it really only makes it an extra step.

Shit like this is killing pc gaming.

Played the first one. Suffered through the xbox live shit (c'mon, let's be honest here).

Then heard the next one was out soon.

Then heard it was an xbox exclusive. https://img5.imageshack.us/img5/5697/hmml.png

I imported the English version from the UK to get the game in the proper language and avoid crappy German dubs.
I was quite pissed when I realized that I could only buy the DLC via GFWL in German here in Austria.
Haven't bought any of those since and will definitely pirate them if I want to continue FO3.

Another fun thing is, that the standalone GFWL client doesn't start up at all if I change all my regional settings to English here in Austria.
(Which I need to do to enjoy Street Fighter 4 in full English.)

Steam only acts as a distributer in that case. Microsoft would never give up their GFWL.

Fuck you Games for Windows Live.

Welcome to Batman: Arkham Asylum!

Do you wish to change your graphic settings? Yes? Unlucky, that's only available in the splash screen, despite the fact this game runs on UT3 engine, completely customisable graphics ingame!

Do you wish to change your control settings? Oooh, sorry, we're complete faggots, you can only do that from the splash screen too!

Do you wish to use a gamepad? Well I hope you have an XBox 360 controller! We're complete dicks, so we've written the game so that any other controller will use forwards for backwards, and backwards for forwards! Oh, and you can't customise the controls anyway!

Do you want to talk ingame with XFire? Really? Such a shame! Scroll lock now changes the game from maximized to windowed mode! Why? We don't fucking know!

Fuck You.

Once you've set up a Games for Windows Live profile, it all works seamlessly in my experience. I've played through 3 GFWL games and i've never had a problem with any of them. Except when I was trying to get a profile going the first time, which is the stage you're at. It took several hours before I got the game working and I was at the point where I was regretting spending £4 on the thing.

But yeah. Once its over and done with it works fine.

You realise that none of that is due to GFWL, and all due to the dev team making a shoddy console port?

I remembered how they tried to make you buy a "gold" live account like on Xbox live to play online. That's why i didn't even bother play kane and lynch. Had some fun on singleplayer though.

I also lolled at most of the WL achievements in Batman. You get achievements for winning bosses ffs. Just complete the game and you have like 20 achievements.

I hate trophies like that, where you just get 'em for just doing the game. In terms of trophies for just doing the game, they should only count for the harder/hardest difficulties at least. Like in CoD WaW (and probably MW2) where they had separate silver trophies for beating every level on Veteran, it was some sort of incentive and added to the challenge of actually trying to beat WaW on veteran (hardest thing ever, but I did it)
