I get all my PC games from Humble and GOG. I'm not fond of DRM, especially if it means I might not be able to play my game in twenty years if the service goes down. Luckily there aren't many AAA games that interest me.

Because GOG and Humble are not Online only services that can't go down anytime and guarantee you they will be online in 20 years....

Steam is DRM, most games bought through it require Steam to run. Humble and GOG generally offer DRM-free versions. Steam's offline mode is limited to two weeks offline unless they changed it recently. Either way, it's just another thing that could go wrong, preventing me from playing my games. I also can't back up the games to my archive, at least not self contained and usable without modification. As long as I have the option to avoid things like it, I don't see a reason not to. Though, this is off topic, feel free to PM me if you find this conversation interesting.

Wrong, Steam is a POSSIBLE DRM, not automaticly build into the game, even RollerCoaster tycoon 3 doesnt have the steam DRM (a,d i heard more games are like this from some friends), after you downloaded it, you can play it even if you uninstall steam. The 2 weeks offline was a bug (but wow, it's like 2years old news and it never was about weeks of offline, it was just the blob client registry that fucked up, that file was garbage anyway it allowed people to recover password from the file, it's fixed for years now), AND you can copy your "username" folder in the steam directory to backup your games. Always worked liek since the launch of steam...

For Sonic, well, i'm happy for the PC, but it's really sad to see exclusives escaping the WiiU :/

True, but I can add the DRM free installers to my archive. I should be able to always be able to use those installers (or maybe a backup of the game itself if need be), even if I have to run a VM to get them running on newer systems. Even if those services go down, I still have my archive.

I did type "Steam is DRM, most games bought through it require Steam to run." The "most" is there to imply not all games. I did buy Transistor through there when I found out it was DRM free, just weirdly only being sold through Steam. I didn't know that the 2 week limit was a bug. Still, it's just something I don't have a reason to go through if I don't have to. It's just another thing between me and my games that can go wrong.

I generally buy a game for the long haul. I still have my SNES and Genesis games. Dumped them myself, added the dumps to my archive, and prepared the cartridges for long term storage on my shelves (cleaned them up, removed the batteries, and protect the contacts).

if they are also thinking of putting BOOM on steam they should reconsider

Apart from the fact that Steam can launch games when offline perfectly fine, Valve promised that if the Steam servers ever were to go down for good, they'd allow you to download all your games without the Steamworks DRM.

If you game on PC you're crazy to not use steam for game purchases.

I use Steam but I understand Steam is buggy and unresponsive for some people. There is also a matter of collecting physical discs.

Gave up on physical media along time ago I have a mountain of 360 discs (burned) that are mostly scratched and unreadable but I have a fast PC and fast internet so there's that.

You do. He doesn't. There's that.

Aren't there already enough mediocre games on Steam already?

Also, so much for the Wiiu's exclusivity lol

that's NOT the same version. the steam one is the wiiu version though which was supposed to be exclusive to wiiu.

The game was shit anyways, it bombed and it being on Steam won't do anything good for an already failed game. And since when do you care about the Wii U or its library? Pretty sure you weren't a big fan of the console.

For someone who hates the Wii U you don't seem to taking the loss of this "exclusivity" very well

I'm sure the port will be botched

i don't only reason i haven't sold it by now is cos of X. and you seem to have misread my post i'm laughing because the wiiu lost another exclusive.

boom will be next you watch. sega just couldn't wait for their deal with nintendo to expire to get their sonic games onto other platforms

When this is released on PC next month, be prepared for awesome Sonic Lost World mods!

Lol, goodbye Sonic Generations mods!

Boom, another shitty game, as for the Steam ports of these two games, a gold-polished turd is still a turd

I couldn't care less that the Wii U lost this exclusivity, not a single damn was given :rofl2:

The two games both failed anyways.

Wh.......Why not Sonic Boom? :'(

Because Sonic boom is Sonic '06 all over again....glitches, design changes...knuckles is on steroids....BigRedButton is involved, etc.

I hate Sonic. He always continues to mock me by saying, "YOU'RE TOO SLOW!". It is very infuriating and I'm a very sensitive person. Just because I'm not as fast as you, doesn't mean you have to put me down, bro.

This hedgehog needs to learn some respect.

nice, i think all wii u popular games will be starting porting to PC maybe smash bros why not for PC master race ahahhaa ?

We'll pretty much definitely have an emulator at some point in the future. No game is console exclusive forever.

Except that it is also on the 3DS.

Yes, but I personally treat of the 3DS version as a different game because of how much different it is from the Wii U version. I think of it similar to how I think of Sonic Generations for the 3DS. The 3DS version of Sonic Generations is a LOT different from the PC/Console version. (Also, the level design in the 3DS Lost World version is a lot worse.)

This game is bad. It's not horrible, I guess. But I wouldn't recommend an okay at best game to anyone. Let's be honest, everyone who gave this game a chance did it because it's Sonic... It's certainly not because of the merits of the game itself, since it received mixed reviews. I really hope Sonic fans out there stop coping with Sega's shit and stop giving them money for lackluster games.

Meanwhile, those of you who have a Steam account, don't buy this game. Seriously, buy something worth your money, this game is barely worth it for free.

You say we should buy something worth of our money, but this is completely subjective, I think some suggestions would be rather appreciated

hell i could not play this rip off of super Mario Galaxy... it's high speed also i HATE super mario Galaxy.

Bimmel · Oct 8, 2015

Reality check with "videogamers"

The game comes only for WiiU -> No! What a shitty game!

The games is ported on Steam -> Yeah! Finally this pearl comes to Steam!

Thumbs up!

Bladexdsl · Oct 8, 2015

i'm waiting eagerly for the release date. so i can keep watching the store page for the mostly negative rating to appear
