iNatan you can now buy the game without any worries.

Right. Atari is a hair fraction away from going out of busyness. If they fall, what will happen then? Not paying for rentals.

When that happens, will be happy to pay. Will cost me much less as well.  Idiots Atari, they desperately need money, and doing everything they can to not get it.  |

Wait for it, here come Glottis and Cedge rolling their eyes with bullshit reasons why this happened, and how Atari a fantastic publisher, and how we should all support them.

To be fair, the first game was released with pretty much NO fanfare whatsoever. It was a sleeper title -- this one has far more riding on it from publicity and the previous release.. not to mention being multiplatform, which will help boost sales.

I remember trying the demo on an old PC I had back then (Ati 9800Pro), and it an pretty bad, so I wasn't impressed. Then, when I got my 6600GT, I was looking for a good game, and FEAR wasn't out yet (I bought that too ), so I tried the Riddick demo once again. It was a Friday, and I must have played it 10 times until I was able to buy the full on Sunday.
And look where we are now. Word of mouth is used to stop people from buying it due to Atari and their rental policy. Fantastic!

| Quote: | | Really? Cause the 2 year old Test Drive Unlimited community is still waiting for Atari to own up and get rid of the DRM, which as the forums show, is effecting more and more people every day. As the PR and final product and support for TDU and NWN2 show, Atari isn't really a company worth trusting when it comes to extended support. |

What the fuck these titles don't have DRM. Damn, people are becoming delusional with usage of DRM abbreviation.

Whats with the disk check with this game if you rename TagesClient.dat, with a legit disk will the game load and work without activation? if so..
Tages is now supported in the latest Game Jackal. I think it might be unlikely that it would work with this game but might be worth a try...? Someone with a legit copy would have to download the software from here LINK and after renaming the TagesClient.dat file (so the game uses a disk check) make a profile, take the disk out and check if the profile worked.
EDIT: Stalker Clear Sky works and uses Tages v5 (v5.5.4.1) + SolidShield (v1.9.7.3)

Installed Escape from Butcher Bay demo. The graphics were painful to my eyes.

It's one of the only games that aged well in the graphics department imo.

Well, you see, if people talk shit about their way of treating customers, then potential customers might end up not buying it at all.
I'm one of them, I don't care if they give me over 9000 activations, I don't want activations. If their game is worth buying, and worth having (for replaying), then I'd buy it. But because of their activation bullshit, I won't, out of spite.
I've bought many singleplayer games that I see good enough for replaying, after I've played them pirated. But I'd never buy a game you need to activate, it's yet another punch against actual customers. Some may not feel this, but I do and that's why they've lost a potential customer. I haven't played the old butcher bay, but I will when this game is released with a crack, what I will not do however, is buy it.
I might buy the old one though (if I end up liking this), that one has no activations right?
Either way, they should realize that many "pirates", like myself, only download games to see if they're good and to make sure they run okey, before buying them. Nowadays, you never know how a game performs, it might be like S.T.A.L.K.E.R or it might run flawless, you don't know unless you try, and since demos can't always be trusted, there's no better way than to either borrow from a friend, or download. This copy protection they have, does nothing, it only makes it less attractive to buy. |
Ok now i get it, rental policy, haha, good one

I wish they made a game where hand to hand combat was properly implemented.

What, better implementation of h2h fighting? Playing the original, I kept all settings to default. I remember it had "gentleman style" fighting, as an option -- all bets be off when this out on the scene >:D Fuck some mothafuckas UP!
