Gah, I meant DRM. That was one of those embarassing brain farts where my fingers went right and my brain went left.

I think they'll stock up on DRM for GTA5, even if they didn't do so for their smaller franchises.

I apologize for being stupid. It's genetic.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Almost trashed my key lol

Have you ever heard French spoken by a French person? Not a Canadian, or Haitian, or Belgian, but a real from France Frenchman? It sounds far from the sweet melodic language depicted in the movies. It's very throaty and phlegm-y. It sounds closer to Arabic than to Spanish/Italian. It's kinda gross.

Waiting for a Farsi voiced GTA.

Southern French. /shudder
(Southern French is to Parisian French what Southern Drawl is to American English. To me it sounds like they are mumbling heavily.)

I thought some of you would like this price on the beeb -- Grandma Hilda on PS3 & games.

I'm Southron. Where I'm at, we have more than just the stereotyped cracker twang - there's the Savannah drawl, Creole (cajun or coonass is what we call it), and Appalachian. All are distinctly different to my ears but I love hearing them.

I guess what y'all call American English, we call Yankee.

^_^ Right. Sorry. I approach it from more of a general international perspective, American English to distinguish from proper/BBC English (and the various terrible regional/class dialects in the UK), German English, various colonial English. Internationally American English is close to Californian English.

I have a close friend from Southern Ohio who can speak Appalachian English on demand =D. I remember one kid from Alabama I met who's dialect was so laid back I got impatient listening to him. I've also run into some downright charming dialects in parts of TX and LA. ^_^

I swear that I'm literally the only person in the world that doesn't like GTA. I like all of their other games but GTA just feels blah to me. RDR on the other hand...

I would say that the typical Frenchman doesn't sound throaty at all. However, there are lots of people in France that speak with something that resembles an arabic accent (for example, listen to Booba on youtube)

Oi!

Less o' that tongue lass, I'll set me whippet on yer.

You're not. I have a couple of friends who hate it, and I don't like it all that much myself.

Greenman is the cheapest I think. 37ish if I recall.

JakeNome was selling it for 35$ so still your price is lower.

I have Riddick: Dark Athena from Retail DVD.
Did they ever officially remove the DRM from retail version in a patch?

EDIT:

I so wish R* would bring RDR to the PC....

R* seems to like/want to stock-up on DRM levels.

Max Payne 3 PC & LA Noire PC = requires RSC + GameShield DRM.
GTA4 PC + EFLC PC = requires RSC + Securom DRM + G4WL.

Buy a Steam-version of any of those - ALSO add Steam DRM on top.
Seriously - on the Steam-version, there's NO NEED for them keeping the GameShield DRM and/or Securom DRM active - Steam does DRM just fine in their versions.

So a review of Ravaged: The Post Apocalyptic Vehicle Focused Multiplayer Shooter that Cannot Even Give Itself Away to People to be Played.

In a word, clunky. It looks nice enough, but controls are lacking, especially in the driving of vehicles, a main focus of the game. I was driving an ATV and I had already let go of the A key, and the vehicle continued to turn another 80 degrees. Another issue with vehicles is their tendency to get stuck in various objects. Such as walls, pipes, blocks, rocks, and just about any other object on the map. On the other hand, helicpoters probably don't have that problem and should work fine, I cannot verify this though as I could never successfully have one take off, but I did view another player flying one quite competently. Similar to previous experiences I have had in BF3.

Presentation in game is a problem as well. The HUD is very sparse, as in I often didnt actually find what I was looking for quickly. And when I just attempted to play, there were only 52 players in the world. And only 6 servers with any population. And most of that on just 2 servers, both with less than 20 each. But I will say it was easy to find the servers upon start up.

And the game only crashed once.

In conclusion, if it was far more polished with an active player base, I'd definitely recommend it, but as it is, it's just a sad indie shooter, destined to be forgotten before it can achieve greatness. And I don't recommend it. But the devs are pretty nice guys at least. Best luck to them.

Next on my list of forgotten shooters, a review of Shattered Horizon. Sometime in the future.
