If there is one damn thing I HATE the most is having to REGISTER for ANYTHING on the internet. This shit requires TWO REGISTRATIONS!!!!!!! I'm sure they send you email to verify your email. NO Fing WAY!


yea god forbid installing a game take as much effort as signing up for this forum with a verification email.

it must have been pure hell for you knowing you had to register and click the activation mail to post on these forums so you could talk about how much you hate registering and clicking activation links.

no groups lost the ball about 2 years ago by forcing people to use mini-images because the cracks in the releases are nuked, cause crashes, or savegame doesnt work using them.

hardly anymore you find groups releasing 2-3 games in a row that doesnt need a proper for it.

The most interesting part in this is the whole chicken-and-the-egg scenario going on.

"It's got DRM, so I will download a pirated copy"
to which publishers respond with:
"We'll invest more in protecting our products from pirates"
to which certain "consumers" reply:
"What the hell, NO WAY I'll jump through hoops to play a game"
and so on ad infinitum ad absurdum.

It's a tug-of-war that has been going on since the dawn of my beloved old ZX Spectrum 48K. Wink

Well, for the rest of us that have been playing games for years, signing up to crap you don't know/care about seems strange. So, I think he's serious.

I agree.
back in the day the hassle was having to keep the manual so you could look on page 4 paragraph 5 word 6 to start the game EVERYTIME you wanted to play.. so you had your xeroxed copy on hand.

On the other side of the coin, if they brought that 'protection' back, think of what people would raise hell of it when signing up once for a ingame addon now makes them go off the handle.
"what you mean i need to look up and find a certain word just to start the game?"

its just a difference of times, no better no worse.

Since it's past the prescription(?) date I can safely "boast" about how I cracked the protection for Battlehawks 1942 for Amiga. It had that system where it would ask for a word on "Page X, Paragraph X, Line X, Word X". All I had to do was load the exe into C-Monitor, do a mem-search for the words in various forms (if they had been shifted or undergone some simple encryption), note the memory pointers, search for those and disassemble the code that handled those pointers and make any word or character pass the protection. Fun times and fond memories. Smile

i can clearly remember a time where games were pre-released a week before store date + almost no nukes and no fucking manual bullshit. remember, everything has its wave Wink

anyways, this talk should go elsewhere, lets focus on game talk.

Hopefully my 8600mgt will survive this monster Sad Can't wait to try.

ho would they do, without the proper exe?

at least it will be a real cracking race when servers of R* will be open, with every group getting the exe at the same time, maybe we'll have a clean vitality crack Very Happy

Good, now I won't have to listen to early release piracy ruining PC gaming and how this will be the doom of mankind, the coming of the anti-Christ and the destruction of all living things. Did i miss anything?

Bullsh!t, especially 7th step. I think there will be DRM like on some recent titles, but not like stated above.

the true exe isn't on the cd, you have to connect to a server of r*/securom that will verify you're the owner of the cd, then they will send you the true exe

and they won't do it before stret release date, that's why we won't see a release before this day, except because of a internal leak or a kind of server hacking, but y doubt that
