3-4 month wait maybe for consoles to get the dlc I guess

I have to say, G4WL is the WORST gaming platform I've ever seen. (Well, potentially the xbox, but I haven't bothered with that one, so I can't say for sure, but it's made by the same company, so I wouldn't be surprised.)
Half the time I have go through a dozen extra hoops to get a G4WL game to work

I'll just leave this here: http://www.pr0gramm.com/#newest/*/66926/2012/04/1335529023563

Seriously, no one has noticed she is (best we can tell) naked or at least topless in the last panel? The neck and shoulders are uncovered.

[url=#user_comment_133937]@Nox[/url]: I got the Bioshock 2 infinite patch loop bug too! I feel like part of a brotherhood now!

GFWL is the worst of the three major dlcs around. Steam is the best for now.

I has a problem with G4WL simply cause I have to log into it to play a game even though I'm logged into Steam. Even though it doesn't do the infinite patch/crash combo like a Cammy whore,I still can't help but think G4WL is making those games suck.

@Hugh Jass:
No Bioshock 2 for me either, due to an infinite patch loop or whatever the hell it is. I should probably get around to just crack the shit, but it's such a crying shame given that I at least try to do it the legal way first.

[url=#user_comment_133831]@AverageBob[/url] How is it not? You're taking profits away from such companies. I have pirated I admit, but since Steam got their shiz together I bought every game I have. More to fund the developers (Even if it's Activision etc.) than to have a physical copy of the game. and still, Gamespy sucks worse.

GFWL is why I never made it past the first 15 minutes of Bioshock 2. I will buy no game contaminated with it.

...
Before anyone starts asking, yes I got it wrong. The correct names for those are Bizarro World and Crystal ball of Revealing respectively.

[url=#user_comment_133772]@Tim[/url]: Actually, the II refers to the fact the Monkey's paw is a recurring character/strip (similar to Opposite world and the Crystal ball of seeing). See #520. Obby was talking about VGCats http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=296

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

Notice how in the last frame she is naked? I wonder why? There is that paw.....

*joke about valve, linux, windows 8, and valve new release*

gays for windos live

Hmm, weird. I've actually had zero problems with GFWL. Too bad to hear that you guys are having problems though! Let's just hope it'll get fixed some day...

Arkham Asylum through Steam caused no issues.

I'm in the same bot of GFWL fucking me over. Fallout 3 GOTY it kept making me reinstall the DLC everytime I loaded the game. Once it made me redownload the WHOLE game after telling me I didn't own it. This after putting 40+ hours into it. Then it deleted all my Batman AC saves, yup f GFWL.

I've had no problems with Games for Windows LIVE! either, and I have Arkham Asylum, Dawn of War II and Chaos Rising, Fable III, Fallout 3, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition, and Dead Rising 2.

Monkey's PaWN II?

Pwned

Now i know who to blame

On a related note I laugh every time I see an IE commercial on TV. You get it free with your MS OS. Why ads? Is it THAT BAD? Or are people just so prejudiced against any browser from MS they don't even try the newest incarnation? I personally use Firefox because I'm comfortable with Mozilla.

Well, I bought Bioshock 2 on GFWL some years ago. I can't say that I was pleased by this service, but at least it works -_- So, if there no any choice, I'd still buy it. Maybe. Depends of the port quality, will watch it on youtube.

[url=#user_comment_133759]@Veradux[/url] how is pirating is "taking away" from the developers? Lets say that i pirate a lot,but it does not mean that i would buy the product if i had no other choise.

It is not actually confirmed for GFWL. The only reason why they considered it was because they were a "console based" game company. Basically, there's still hope, and shitty service or not, I'm playing Dark Souls.

Not to sound like a dick, but how in the hell would they have gotten it to PC otherwise? Rewritten all the netcode from scratch in only a few monthes.
Don't get me wrong, I detest GfWL, but if its the only way we can get a game, don't knock them for using it. In fact, buy it. So they can make more.

It's Dark Souls. Plural.

I have... eleven GfWL games, and I have no problem. And i really hyped for Dark Souls for PC (because paying for Gold on Xbox sucks)

this hand can give u more than wishes, if u know what i mean.

[url=#user_comment_133783]@Regal[/url]: Did you hear? Joe is making Engi-Tan porn, with stick figures!

would have been funnier if she had wished for it on the 360.

[url=#user_comment_133768]@Obby[/url]: Comics reusing jokes!? OH NO, god forbid people tell jokes they thought they were funny. Guess people can't tell jokes at water coolers or stuff anymore. They might rip-off a joke after all! Blow me.

Do what I do: Buy the game, then crack it!

Monkey's Paw, I want porn of Engie-tan.

Then she wished for a TF2 upgrade and the spy got a long distance sapper.

Plurals? What's that?

[url=#user_comment_133768]@Obby[/url]: Uh, yeah? Hence the "II"...

GFWL is awful and I've had too many problems with it to ever want to deal with it again. There's a reason why Bethesda switched from it to Steamworks after exactly one game. (Hint: it's the overwhelming superiority of Steamworks as a platform.)

GFWL is a pain int he *** but I wanna play that game sooo much so I'm gonna buy it.

Reused joke is reused. Been done before by at least one author elsewhere, probably more. :|

I will certainly get it.

Yeah... I have a little tale about that service myself.

I bought Fable 3 and despite being a tangible copy it had to be registered with GFWL, no big deal...

Some time later, it's apparently avaliable on Steam, with DLC exclusive to steam that looks much more interesting... FUUUU

I remember wishing once that I could get a DS. Couple of years later found one abandoned behind a publix store. Still using it today :).
P.S. No, publix does not sell any DS, I actually did find one.

I see a lot of hate on GFWL.. And it seems like I'm the only one not having any problems. And for the people pirating: Go buy it. even If you're going to download without GFWL, you are taking away from the developers. GFWL is easy to make an xbox 360 port.

Hey it's on GFWL. That means easy pirating. Use one GFWL code to access another GFWL online components.

[url=#user_comment_133704]@USAF_Son[/url] And doesn't play your games, there's that. Oh wait, you must have not realized that people with different computers get different problems, which normally things like Steam will try to fix but GFWL hasn't done crap for years.

Yep, there's a ton of people who wont be getting the game if they release it on GFWL. I wont because I had the same problem with Fable 3.

I've been having the same patch-crash-repatch problem with Syndicate on Origin. How odd.

Teehee. 'View __ comments (__ photo notes) for "Monkey's Pawn II"'

Wondering if that title difference was intentional. Seems appropriate!

Namco Bandai is considering to change the DRM system to something else.
Because they saw this: http://www.change.org/petitions/namco-bandai-and-from-software-release-dark-souls-pc-edition-without-games-for-windows-live

[url=#user_comment_133734]@SageoftheTimes[/url] Pirating is for cunts.

[url=#user_comment_133723]@Vee[/url] Don't worry, our talented team of crackers is working overtime to deliver you a premium experience without having to deal with all the nonsense. Stay tuned to thepiratebay and torrentz for details on your early release date.

Compared to Origin, GFWL is a saint. A pretty dumb, limited saint, but still, there's worse ones out there.

Not that I approve of tethering a game to such a platform in the first place - it's just plain unnecessary, and Steam is just about the only platform that has actually benefitted the gamer.

With region-locks, a framelock at 30fps, only the most bare of mouse/keyboard controls...
Thank you, Monkey Paw!

Someone at GFWL also got a paw...
- I want everyone to play our games!
- OK, boss, here it comes- the piratebay!

Not to mention the part where GfwL is STILL region-blocking some countries from even using it. I had enough after being forced to wait 3 years just to play Gears of War online, not buying another GfwL game even if it's a frickn game of the millenium.

[url=#user_comment_133700]@Inkster[/url] Everyone who uses GfWL just shifted their chairs slightly farther from you.

@ Platypus
Basically, GfWL is a trap. Like playing a game of pretend.

Two wishes used. One remaining. I wonder what it'll be.

There isn't anything wrong with GFWL, other than it takes forever and a day to install and set up.

Oh man, can I be cool and hate GFWL too? Even if I haven't had problems with it?

Stupid Microsoft, I can't simply save any progress in BioshocK!

I know one way to try.
Yarrr.

I dunno, does it need to be on PC?

https://www.change.org/petitions/namco-bandai-and-from-software-release-dark-souls-pc-edition-without-games-for-windows-live

Ha, Games for Widows Live-chan must be flat as a board and sickly. Might even actually be a dude, kinda hard to tell.

There is a reason for the usage of Games for Windows live in this case though. They're focusing on actually porting the GAME, making it work for the PC. It takes time to change the whole server coding, etc.

Hopefully it won't be TOO bad.

What? No POW, HA HA yet?

Also, wishing for Demon's Souls on PC cost three wishes? Daaaaaang.

What, no photo notes? You guys are slacking.

What would happen if you used a monkey's paw to wish all monkey's paws out of existence?

Don't you see? The reason Demon's Souls is on GFWL is BECAUSE GFWL is such a shitty service. It helps with the immersion in a game thats designed to make your life suffer.

Nitpicky mode:

It's Demon's Souls with the possessive "s" on Demon and plural s on Souls.

Dark Souls also has the plural S.

From Software is in talks to remove GWFL support last time I checked.

I distinctly remember VGCats doing a similar joke.

first. dam you monkey paw.
