Tomb Raider
MGR: Revengeance
Sim City
However doing research, Sim City requires always online. So now I can't buy it out of principle. Which sucks. Because I love Sim City. But I'll be f*cked if I give money for a game that practices this sort of bullsh*t DRM model. Give me a code I can activate once if you want, but f*ck off if you think I want my single player experience affected by server load and internet speed.
This made me laugh;
Man, it's been years since I've played Sim City!0 -

Yaaaaay! I have no idea what I'm doing, the funny thing is I use to play it like maybe 3 years ago and was quite good at it, alas now, I have forgotten everything
I did manage to find this epic seed. -2678743532590010983
It's basically just an island! Would be good for survival.0 -

Sorry, I don't actually play Minecraft, I was just evoking a bit of Joseph Fritzl, because he was a funny guy.
The game Ace of Spades is a free to play Minecraft/FPS multiplayer squad game thingy which is cool by the way. I haven't played it in ages so I don't know what kind of crazy updates it's undergone, but it's a fun alternative.0 -

I picked up a few old games last week, ones I used to have/still have on PS2 on 360 and am now playing through again for added Achievements.
Started with The Godfather: The Game, and I'd forgotten how good it was. It's so much fun to go around extorting bakers and butchers. :P
On the downside, I randomly started thinking about who it was that succeeded Tom Hagen as consigliere, I now have 42 (that's FORTY-TWO) wikia tabs open on different Godfather things... Wikia is worse than Wikipedia.![:\](https://www.boards.ie/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

What an amazing game. Played that from start to finish several times on the PS2.0 -

But from a business point of view, can they afford not to go down the same route as Microsoft with the always online? Look at it from a publisher point of view, you're releasing a game, who're you going to be more likely to give better deals/DLC to? Xbox One with its DRM and used game fee, or Sony with a traditional model?
If Sony had anything good to say, you'd think they'd have been shouting it from the rooftops for the past few weeks to capitalise on the pissed off keyboard warriors' rage and try to get a few more thousand preorders out of it.
Now, I guess it's possible that they're gonna come out on stage and say "No DRM, no always online, we
yhoo all!", but you'll excuse me if I'm a bit cynical that there's a shred of decency left in the industry these days. 0 -

Yeah I understand your point alright, I would just find it hard to believe, I mean, as it stands they have won a huge chunk of the Xbox folk over already with the Xbox' always online model.
As it stands, bear in mind I'm not fully clued in to the debate so may be wrong here, but the Ps4 seems to be set to vastly outsell the Xbox One. If Ps4 go always online as well, that huge chunk they've won over will be gone again.
My point is, from a publisher point of few, which console are they going to prefer, the one that is selling games or the one that isn't? That may be over simplified but I think you get my general point
Ps4 sells more consoles, it sells more games!
Either way, if both consoles go always online, it's going to put a tonne of gamers into a position where neither console is a viable option, where we can go from there I'm not sure!0 -

Not oversimplified at all. Great point.
I just hope Sony see it that way.Either way, if both consoles go always online, it's going to put a tonne of gamers into a position where neither console is a viable option, where we can go from there I'm not sure!
Wii U?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA, no seriously, if both are always online, I'm putting €400 in my PC fund and finishing with consoles completely.0 -
