The game itself is a pretty decent romp. I had fun with it for a few hours, anyway.

I'm on mainly on the weekends/whenever I'm off work/when the wife's not around.

You're right, the DayZ team that made the mod for ARMA are working on a standalone version of it that won't be released until next year.

The War Z is very unfinished and the microtransactions really kill a lot of the survival aspects that made DayZ popular.

Yeah after reading about War Z, it's definitely one to skip. There is more info here:

About half way down the page it shows screenshots from the developers and how they are ALL staged...

Sacred 2 Gold was recently added to the registry. I know a few people have been interested in that (including myself). Not entirely surprising since I believe both Sacred 3 and that interim golden-axe style beat-em-up Sacred whatever are using Steamworks.

I really enjoyed it. 16 Steam hours. I'd guess it would take a typical CAG 10-12 hours. Snagged it for $5 on the Summer Sale IIRC.

Link? I have to see this.

Oh, unless you mean a link to the fact that the new Sacred stuff will use Steamworks, hmmm, one second...

Bottom of the Citadel page has Steam logo. Sacred 3 page isn't up but they're both published by Deep Silver who has taken to using Steamworks (Dead Island, Risen 2).

Alright, very funny, which one of you broke CAG?

I like that anticheat system detailed in that biased site.

ThankYou! Finally I can have my Sacred 2! Thanks for the info!

Okay, so most of the vitriol out there about The WarZ is due to people who hate the game because it's a rip off of DayZ and they lied about that. That much is true. When DayZ came out, the WarZ guys came out doing interviews stating the game had been in development for years before DayZ and advertising a million and one features for it.

Now that it's out, it's clear and they've admitted as much in a roundabout way, that they made this in response to the DayZ craze. Shitty name, but there's like a million zombie games coming out now.

Having played it, I like the game for what it is. Essentially, War Inc. modded to be a DayZ clone. It's fun for a survival mmo with no purpose or objective. Still needs a ton of work done to it and I hope they do keep working on it. I have seen no issues with it personally in banning, etc.

Wish I would have waited to buy it on Steam. I paid $15 on BF but no Steam key or guest passes, but I understand they probably need the money so they are trying to hook as many people as soon as possible.

Yeah, I read about that elsewhere. I bought it on Gamersgate UK a little while back for $5 but if it really is complete with the expansion and everything and readily available in the US region I will buy it again if comes to Steam.

When it goes on sale, of course.

The always-online got patched out, although I had a hell of a time getting Uplay to install that patch. I had to uninstall Uplay 2 and let the game install Uplay 1, then it patched. Watch out, uninstalling Uplay deletes all your Ubisoft saves so back them up.

Resident Evil 6 is coming to Steam on March 22nd.

Edit: I posted news that wasn't already posted by louiedog or sunghost. yeah!

Game looks awesome, son was bemoaning the recent adjustments of more zombies, less food, but he seems to having a good time with it. So much so he used his own money to buy his friend a license.
