You’re the stupid fuck. Yeah, by using steam I’m destroying my freedoms. You gamers are a bunch of whiny little bitches, nothing else. All you fucktards screamed and moaned about SOPA and BIPA while the fucking US government was running guns to Mexican drug cartels in Fast & Furious. Oh yeah, SOPA and BIPA so horrible. That people are being killed with those guns, who gives a shit as long as you entitled cunts have your internet and can steal without anyone putting a foot down. That’s what this is all about. You, you and you. Nothing else matters to you little shits.

As for the topic at hand, Namco should just cancel it and tell all those cunts “fuck you”.

GFWL is a pile of shit.
Steam is a pile of shit.
The only legit digital distrobution method would be where you pay for digital content, install it, and play, end of. No forced updates, no checking if a couple of bytes in your game dont match or any of that crap. Just pay, install and play. You arsholes want to suck their MS or Valve dicks and say it tastes good, your business, but dont suggest other people must too. If people stopped using digital dustribtion, it would go away, but too many stupid people about. DVD was and still is the best distibution, but it costs them money, thats why they love digital distibution, and they can control whether you play or not. You stupid fucks for supporting that crap and destryoing your freedoms.

When I bought Fallout 3, it forced Games for Windows Live on me. And it sucked! I paid for expansions and the goddamn thing refused to install them! I went on the forums, I tried every single goddamn solution they listed, and nothing freaking worked. I had to PIRATE dlc that I legitimately paid for in order to make the packs work.

I did not have some exotic hardware configuration. I had a 3 GHz Intel chip, a common middle grade invidia card, fully patched windows, etc. And the forum was full of enablers and ass-kissers making excuses for what is essentially a crappy product.

Vejorama, just because you had no problems doesn’t mean other people who DID have problems have crappy computers. I’m not a scrub, I’m technically proficient, can program and design software, and have been part of a team that made a critical information system for the European Union. We’re not being melodramatic here; some people have no problems with GFWL but a lot of people DO, and for those that do, the problems are often unsolvable.

From then on, I refused to have anything to do with any GFWL game. I will never purchase one. Screw you GFWL, I have friends that can program something that does everything GFWL does in a fricking DAY.

Stop being a prick, you knew what he wanted to say.
What he meant to say was, it adds a performance hit to your games.

To all those people calling us “entitled”, you clearly have no experience with Games for Windows Live at all. What if I was to tell you that I have six games (both Section 8s, GTA 4 + Episodes, Bioshock 2, Arkham Asylum) and told you that none of them work properly and that for the singleplayer focused games I have installed cracks just so I can play the damn things? What if I told you that GFWL is invasive as hell and gets in the way? Do I need to go into detail over the random crashes and corrupt saves? Those are the reasons why people are pissed off about Dark Souls using it. Almost forgot to add that A LOT of people won’t even be able to get this game legally because this “service” is only available in 35 countries whereas Steam is available world-wide.

Evidently you haven’t seen it for Windows 8 It’s just like the Xbox 360.. So I don’t see this being a problem for future titles..

Both sides have some valid points. But, I don’t know if this is true at all, I have heard/read somewhere that with the coming of “Windows 8″, GFWL and Xbox Live will merge bringing players from the consoles and PC users together. Again I don’t know if this is true, but if it is
then that MAY be the reason for using GFWL. Even so I agree that using SteamWorks over GFWL is much better.

I really don’t mind GFWL, except when you’re required to enter your game product key to gain access to Live, and for Achievements. I think it’s more of a hassle than Steam, and when considering Dark Souls’ on the PC; this should be dealt with :p.

” it adds FPS to a game when it shouldn’t just because it has to run in the background.”

Wow, you are retarded.

i honestly agree, games for windows live is the biggest pain in the ass ever, between forgetting saved account information and having to shut down your game to update or not have save data…. i probably wouldnt buy it if it was on GFWL

They’re not crying because they got it, they’re complaining because it’s going to require you to use Games For Windows Live. GFWL’s service is terrible.
Half the time it doesn’t want to load correctly, and it adds FPS to a game when it shouldn’t just because it has to run in the background.
There’s a list of reasons people wouldn’t want GFWL.
So don’t think people are just complaining to complain, the Dark Souls community always has a reason for the things they petition.

It was mentioned time and time again in the original Namco forums “please use steamworks, don’t use GFWL”. So what Namco have done really is fowl play.
