Never thought I'd see the day. Anyone test it on deck yet?

So I'll admit I'm one of the 5 people that liked this game and really wanted it off Playstation. From what I've heard there were "downgrades" like the lighting has been changed for the worse and apparently some of the critical music has been changed because of licensing. So I got my monkey paw wish.

I'll wait for it on sale and I'll wait for mods.

Damn I really liked the original ad was excited for the remake. Just happy to have stuff off Playstation.

I guess I'll wait for it on sale.

So I bought it knowing I had to make an account. I knew I was caving to a shitty requirement. Before you even get to a main menu the game unceremoniously launches your browser while sitting at a black screen. On your browser you are expected to sign into your Playstation(R) Account. I tried. I tried and tried. An error kept popping up stating "can't connect to server."

In that moment I decided on a refund. You want me to sign into an account for a single player game? Fine. I caved and I did, but their servers weren't ready for a re-launch of a huge game to service a restriction Sony placed on themselves.

I'll buy it again when there is a mod to remove the account requirement.

This sucks. There is one game in particular I keep the Wii U around for. We call it Fronks but I think the real name is Islands or something on one of the Warioware games. It's a stupid game that easy to learn and always a hit at parties.

It's one of the few games that actually uses the tablet in a neat way. And because of that it probably will die with the Wii U.

What happened to them? They were sued? I miss x-fire too.

Just an FYI: This article is 2 years old. Not saying anything has changed or not.

I really like all the Max Payne games. I'm hoping Remedy's recent involvement with Epic Games doesn't keep more of their games locked to the Epic storefront. I still haven't played Alan Wake 2 because it's locked on Epic. This press release just says "PC" instead of the storefronts it will be available on, which worries me a bit.
