tejozaszaszas: Anyone knows if in the Fallout 3 game of the year edition the number of installations are limited?
You may as well just get it on a console instead so you don't have to deal with any crappy activation stuff. And the DLC disc you get with it can be used to install the DLC on as many hard drives as you want, since you're installing DLC from the disc and not from an online activation code of some kind.

Get it on a console? No thaks. Why would I buy a game with lower quality graphics and without fan made mods?. Sorry, I´m not into consoles actually, just don´t want to support closed systems, and also I dislike game pads (for most games). Thanks anyway.

Even though it's the same engine and technology and they both look similar, those two games shouldn't even be compared. You cannot compare a true RPG with hiking simulator with guns.

You're on a website like GoG complaining about lower quality graphics? Don't you see the contradiction here?

No contadiction, If you read my answer carefully you´ll notice that I´ve not only mentioned graphics.

I didn't have to read your answer carefully to read the whole thing, I was just pointing that one part out.

If other people want to play fanmade mods then cool, they're just not for me. The only mods I'd go for are the ones that add in content the devs didn't have time to do. I have such a backlog right now anyway that there's not much of a reason to play mods when I can play another game.

Although I can sort of understand your point. If I had two option for any game on gog and one had better graphics (and/or better modding capacity), that's the one I'd go for.

Just because I can live with lower graphics does not mean higher wouldn't be preferred :)

I don´t buy many games from consoles (actually no one) beacause they´re closed systems. If you think about this you´ll notice the main thing that made GOG possible was they´re PC games :-)
Many companies that released their games on Super Nintendo for example, can´t re-release actually their games because Nintendo owns the rights for the Super Nintendo/ Super Famicom ROMs. They only allowed some of the games (like the Konami ones) to be released on their lousy Wii Ware crap, and they establish abusive prices for them like 20 eur (29.23 USD), from which they take a big percentage.

Of course you can always play Super Nintendo games on a, you know, Super Nintendo.

Delixe: I can see the words. My brain can't make sense of them though.
Crap in the sense of DRM the game is what Fallout 3 should have been at release... I was speaking in pure form of DRM on the title...
avatar
Delixe: The launcher uses SecuROM but the .exe doesn't. Once you have it installed launch from the exe and it's effectively DRM free. The DLC is also DRM free if you buy it on disc.
One reason I prefer console gaming for modern games, don't worry about BS DRM or having to upgrade my hardware every other month to get the best graphics the game can run.

Yet another reason I miss the good ol days when GOGs were new...

You're frankly insane if you think we have to upgrade more now than we did then.

The Steam version of Fallout 3 has no DRM that I'm aware of, at least if you run the .exe directly. And the launcher only seems to have Steam DRM.

As for upgrading, PC games have been stagnating for years because they're just ports from consoles with far, far less powerful hardware. There are probably only a handful of games on the market that can stress a high-end PC these days because it's about a bazillion times more powerful than the consoles most games were designed for.

Heck, my laptop plays any game I've bought in recent years with high to maximum graphics settings and the GPU is only twice as fast as the one I bought in 2005 for my old desktop machine (and used until 2008).

Not to mention that talking about not having to worry about DRM on consoles is amusing when the Playstation network is down now and for the forseeable future.

As far as I'm concerned, all of the major companies are using DLC as a form of DRM...

What is a "true" RPG is in the subjective view of the player.

Totally. I am a freak about upgrades. I don't ever buy a new video card. I build a whole new box. (mostly so that I can always have a few good PCs around and I call donate the older ones to friends and family or whoever needs one) I used to do that every 12 months... now, I am estimating I might go as long as 2 and a 1/2 years with the box I have now.
