Might've been mentioned before but this is interesting. In a good way IMO.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ … mcriticcom

It has 1292 reader reviews so far, and 1203 are 1 star because of the DRM. They WILL be losing a lot of sales because of this.

I've just learned today that RA3 will have SecuROM as well. Hopefully it'll get this kind of treatment as well until EA finally get rid of the damn stuff.

I have the feeling though that Amazon will wipe all the comments. They have on amazon.co.uk.

as long as 90% is pirating games, they won't.

But the SecuROM does nothing to stop piracy (game up for torrent about 5 days before release date. WITHOUT SecuROM) while doing a lot to encourage it. They must be complete idiots to think it's worth keeping.

hey machinemadness... sorry about your stryder race... they had a series of accidents after the refused to negotiate/surrender

it seems spreading your cities out is a waste of time and effort... keep them bunched so the turrets can cover each other better

hehehe

try my new human race I have.

The space armour perms on it are gnarly.

Anyway, I've installed this game on my other crappy machine. I tried to play creature stage and it crashes because its a ATI card problem and to fix it I need to mess with drivers, which i dont want to do. So until I get back to my other computer im going to be pumping out creations like crazy so add me people!

whatever they do or not, or even if it works now doesn't matter now...

they do this kind of stuff because a lot pirate their games.

that it encourage it is their problem (EA). that they put these retarded things on their games, you can thank your fellow "gamers" for.

It's really not, and they really are pretty stupid to include it. If anything, adding in the SecuROM just ADDS to the problem and will create MORE people pirating the game because people will be thinking "oh, let's see if I can crack it!?".

RA3 will be better in terms of SecuROM, but I dunno...

Those amazon reviews are pretty funny, actually.

Waited so long for this game bit of a disappointment. I can see why it took so long to make though. It seems daft they spent so much time developing the stages yet you pass through them so quick.

I didn't want all the space stuff I just wanted to run around as a dinosaur and kill everything.

I'm finding a few of AlphA's creatures now that I'm in the space stage. Most of them are pink.

Just finished the last rank on space, nothing particular happened, so now it's just random missions and micromanagement and colonizing?

Did go to the center, home planet said kthxbai and nothing more.

And fuck me, had I known that it had fucking secuROM on it, I would have pirated it just to be rid of that stinking piece of shit malware.

GG.

2,934 of 3,180 people found the following review helpful: [...]First of all, the game incorporates a draconian DRM system that requires you to activate over the internet, and limits you to a grand total of 3 activations. If you reach that limit, then you'll have to call EA in order to add one extra activation.[...]

1,439 of 1,581 people found the following review helpful: [...]It also is overpriced. This is actually a RENTAL, not a bought game because it only lets you install 3 times.[...]

932 of 1,046 people found the following review helpful:
I just got through a massive headache dealing with DRM for Adobe Photoshop CS3. I've dealt with massive headaches from DRM from Civ3 gold.[...]
RE:OMG Adobe CS3 is a freaking nightmare, what I paid $1800 for half a dozen extra process constantly running all day, checking my "Digital Rights", monitoring my shell, calling home, trying to install updates? It took me almost a full day to disable all that crap without crippling the software, and I still haven't got rid of all of it. What a joke, take a hint Adobe, if you think my next upgrade is coming from you and not a torrent site you're kidding yourselves.

Meh, I downloaded before I bought (I do plan on buying it) but am pissed off that it doesn't let me use SLI in game.

It's cool and everything, but I feel as though I'm being rushed.

lol. you do realise reaching the centre isnt meant to be anything other than an easter egg just like finding earth and the fairy tale lands are easter eggs.

Why do people not understand this is a sandbox game. It was never advertised as anything but a sandbox game.
