[Syuusuke]

[Limited]

Poll still isnt up. Cmon phojo your a mod for petes sake :D <3 you really

I'm going to guess, and say worst words for me would be "Pay to play"

[Boba]

You forgot to add "women".

[Donut]

You forgot to add "women".
its funny because its true :lol:
seriously, has anyone ever played a game with a woman without all of the sexually insecure guys trying to woo her? every girl i have ever played with on xbox live was a bitch

.... then again "bitch" describes about 85% of the xbox live population

[Mr Buckshot]

How about "Requires (absolute latest version of Windows, older versions don't work) to run at all."

[Limited]

Going with Gold Account required, as thats exactly same as "Pay to play".

[cheezdue]

How about "Requires (absolute latest version of Windows, older versions don't work) to run at all."

This one scares me the most.

[Cojafoji]

gold account required.

that or "this installation requires peripheral programs to work etc etc"

[Needles]

Integrated graphics are scary :smith:

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

No mouse and keyboard support = :gonk:

[annihilation]

How about
"Upgrade your armory, buy so and so points now!"

[sdavis117]

Micro-Transactions.

[Jean-Luc]

Intel integrated extreme graphics still haunt me :saddowns:

[ultama121]

Lockstep netcode... :gonk:

[Sever]

Fucking ALL of it scares me.

Except for Zerg Rush - Those Koreans taught me their crafty ways pretty well back in the day.

[343guiltymc]

Free to play...........

[cheezdue]

Intel integrated extreme graphics still haunt me :saddowns:

I still don't understand why they are so scary...

[Syuusuke]

I don't understand how most of them are scary...

[leorimolo]

Securom. Fuck that shit.

[Rook]

Definitely between "Securom, Starforce, etc." & "No mouse and keyboard support

[klange]

Securom, et al.
You guys may not care about my particular reasoning, but I'll let you in on it anyway: A lot of them break under Wine. When I read that a game has/will have/whatever one of these anticheat/DRM libraries, I rage.

Heh, yeah. It breaks on the OS it's designed for too.

Same discussion about DRM occurred on Unreal Tournament forum I cross-posted this on.

[Pooky]

Fuck punkbuster in the ass. Took me ages to get it up and running for Cod 4, at that point I didn't give a shit and got the 360 version instead.

[Dotkito92]

Minimum system requirements: Something ultra crazy.

That scares me the most.

[=sw=warlord]

i think securom is the main issue, i don't really care if its certified for windows live or not if so then great because then i can talk to friends over the live network while their playing their xbox games.[imn staring at you shirayukijr]
Where nas securom makes me rage.
I got my father fallout3 for fathers day this year and because of the bull that is securom fallout 3 crashes to the desktop as soon as it starts loading.

[Bhamid]

DRM is largely bullshit :/

[FreedomFighter7]

Intel integrated graphics the most. I have that, lucky my computer came with a slot for a REAL MANS grahics card.

[Cojafoji]

Fuck punkbuster in the ass.

word.

punkbuster + fear = the worst pile of bullshit i have ever seen.

[Varmint260]

I remember Intel Extreme Graphics, unfortunately. Integrated as a rule isn't the end of the world (I've seen some pretty good frames on certain integrated units), but Intel Extreme Graphics most definitely is. My Intel 82845G chipset made my Radeon 9250 look phenomenal.

[Masterz1337]

Where's requires windows vista?

[dark navi]

"This account has been suspended from XBOX Live permanently."

[n00b1n8R]

Garry's Mod is downloading an update...

[Cortexian]

Intel Integrated Graphics.... Gah...

[Phopojijo]

Where's requires windows vista?You're missing the point of the thread :p

[Alwin Roth]

nvm.

[Mr Buckshot]

Where's requires windows vista?

Same here. Actually requiring vista that scary anymore though. Better to say "requires whatever the last windows is and absolutely nothing older."


"This account has been suspended from XBOX Live permanently."

PC gaming only, dude. Consoles :gtfo:

Also, why is "originally seen on the xbox" scary? There are a few xbox-to-PC ports that weren't bad at all, like the first splinter cell

More scary words:

No voice chat support (for new MP games, of course there's nothing we can do about it for old games)
"Your password is incorrect" showing up on Steam after you've entered what you're sure is the right password many times, indicating your account must be h4xed.

Well, there are no actual words for this, but one scary part is when you've just installed a new (newer than 2004) PC game, you go into the video options to adjust settings, only to discover that widescreen resolutions aren't supported.

There are words for that:

Select Resolution:
* 640 x 480
* 800 x 600
* 1024 x 768
* 1280 x 1024
* 1600 x 1200

Hmph.

[jcap]

I don't understand the mouse and keyboard one. You will not have a PC game without mouse and keyboard support, so that shouldn't even be an option.

Also, Securom is terrible, but it isn't much of a fear if you crack the game. Even with the games I buy, I use whatever cracks there are available to prevent having to activate the game or use a CD play it.

[Rook]

Hmph.

Hello weapon below the screen + stretched hud

[annihilation]

Where is "Steam - Updating"?

[Daishi]

*Resident Evil 4*

[Phopojijo]

I don't understand the mouse and keyboard one. You will not have a PC game without mouse and keyboard support, so that shouldn't even be an option.Tell that to the fine manufacturers of Resident Evil 4 for the PC.

[Pooky]

Tell that to the fine manufacturers of Resident Evil 4 for the PC.

At least there's a hack to enable it, iirc.

At any rate, mouse and keyboard controls would be horrible for RE4. It would make the game way too easy.
